The Old Latin Gospels of the Codex Vercellensis

When therefore Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a city of Judaea, in the days of Herod the King: behold, Magi came from the East to Jerusalem, saying: Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and we have come to adore him. 3. But Herod the King, hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And [lacuna] he gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and inquired of them where Christ. Is born? And they said to him, in Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through Esaias the Prophet saying: 6. And thou Bethlehem of Judaea; thou art not the least among the princes of Juda. For out of thee shall come forth a King, who shall rule my people Israel. 7. Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and diligently inquired of them the time [lacuna] the star appeared to them: 8.

And sent them to Bethlehem, saying: Go, inquire diligently concerning the child: and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and adore him. 9. They, having heard the king, departed, and behold the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them. [lacuna] But seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11. And entering into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: and opening their treasures they offered him gifts, gold, frankincense. And myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back by another way into their [lacuna] region. 13. When they had departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I tell thee. For it shall come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.

14. But Joseph, rising from sleep, took the child and his mother, and departed into Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the Prophet saying: Out of Egypt I called my son. 16. Then Herod, when he saw that he had been mocked by the Magi, was exceeding wroth; and he sent and slew all the children who were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the Magi. 17. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the Prophet saying: 18. A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and great lamentation: Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted, because they are not.

19. But when Herod was dead, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in [lacuna] Egypt. [lacuna] saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the life of the child. [lacuna] And rising he took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22. But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned in a dream, he with[lacuna]. Drew into a city which is called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the Prophet: That he shall be called a Nazorean.

In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judaea. And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. For this is he of whom it was spoken through the [lacuna] prophet saying: A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make straight his paths. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and all crooked things shall be made straight, and the rough ways into smooth roads; and all flesh shall see the salva[lacuna]tion of God. 4. But John himself. [lacuna] his[lacuna] garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5. Then went out to him all Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region bordering[lacuna].

The Jordan; and they were baptized by him in the Jordan, con[lacuna] fes[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees, coming to his baptism, he said to them: Brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the. Wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance. And think not to say among yourselves: We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children[lacuna]. Already[lacuna] the axe is laid to the roots of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire. 11. I indeed baptize you in water unto penance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire: 12.

Whose fan is in his hand: and he hath cleansed his threshing floor[lacuna]: and hath gathered the wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. 13. Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized. By him; and John would have hindered him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and dost thou come to me? 15. But Jesus answering said to him: Suffer it to be so now: for so it becometh us to fulfil all justice. Then he suffered him. And when he was baptized, a great light shone round about from the water; so that all who had come were afraid. And when Jesus was baptized, he straightway came up out of the water, and behold the heavens were opened unto him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending from Heaven like a dove coming upon. Him. And behold a voice from the heavens saying to him: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom [lacuna] I am well pleased[lacuna]

Then Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit, that he might be tempted by the devil. 2. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights. Afterwards he was hungry. And the tempter came to him and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made 4. Bread. But he answering said: It is written [lacuna] Not by [lacuna] bread alone doth man live, but by every [lacuna] into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down. For it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, to keep thee, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7. Jesus said to him again: It is written: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8. Again the Devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain: and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me. 10. Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written: The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve. 11. Then[lacuna]he left him[lacuna]and[lacuna]and they ministered to him. 12. But when Jesus heard that John had been delivered up, he withdrew into. Galilee: and leaving the city of Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabul[lacuna]. And Nephthalim: that it might be fulfilled what had been said[lacuna]through Es[lacuna]the Prophet: 15. The land of Za[lacuna] of Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light: and they who sat in the shadow of death, a light hath arisen for them.

17. From that time Jesus began to preach and to say: Do penance: for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 18. And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Gali[lacuna], he saw two brothers Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19. And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. And they straightway, leaving their nets, followed him. 21. And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother in a ship with Zebe[lacuna]dee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. And they, leaving the ship and their father, followed him. 23. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom: and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

24. And his fame went into all Syria, and they brought[lacuna] all[lacuna] those[lacuna] sick with various diseases, seized with torments, and those who had demons, and lunatics, and paralytics, and all he healed: 25. And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.

And Jesus, seeing the multitude, went up into the mountain, and when he had sat down, [lacuna] came to him [lacuna] [lacuna] And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying: 3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land by inheritance. 5. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 6. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed [lacuna] sen-c [lacuna] God shall be seen. 8. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peaci [lacuna] for they shall be called sons of God. 10. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice's sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye when men shall curse you, and persecute you, and shall say every [lacuna] justice: rejoice and be glad, for your reward is plentiful in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

13. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing, save to be cast out: and to be trodden under foot by men. 14. You are the light of this world. A city cannot be hidden set upon a mountain. Neither do they light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. 16. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven. 17. Think not that I am come to dissolve the law, or the prophets: I am not come to dissolve, but to fulfil. 18. Amen I say to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass from the law, till all. Be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and so teach, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20. For I say to you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21. You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill: and whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. 22. But I say to you: that whosoever is angry with his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, raca: shall be in danger of the council. But whosoever shall say, thou fool: shall be in danger of the fire of gehenna.

If therefore thou shalt offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou shalt remember that thy brother hath any thing against thee: leave there thy gift before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift. 25. Be at agreement with thy adversary quickly whilst thou art with him in the way: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer: and thou be cast into prison. 26. Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence, till thou pay the last farthing. You have heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery. B. Ut I. [lacuna] to you: wh [lacuna] [lacuna] ever, who hath looked on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29. And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body go into gehenna. [lacuna] thy right han[lacuna] sca[lacuna] [lacuna] alize thee, [lacuna] it, and cast it from [lacuna] thee: [lacuna] it is expedient[lacuna] that one of thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body go into gehenna. 31. And it hath been said: whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery. Again you have heard that it was said to them of old [lacuna]: Thou shalt not [lacuna] swear: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord. But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne.

Of God: nor by the earth, because it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great [lacuna] king: nor by thy head shalt thou swear, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil. 38. You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, a tooth for. A tooth. But I say to you, not to resist evil; but if one strike thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the left [lacuna] am: And he who [lacuna] ld thee to judg[lacuna]ment [lacuna] [lacuna] let him have also thy. Cloak: and whosoever shall force thee one thousand paces, go with him yet other two. 42. Give to every one that asketh thee: and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away. 43. You have heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine. Enemy.

But I say to you: Love [lacuna] your en[lacuna]emies, [lacuna] less those who [lacuna] ate you[lacuna]: and [lacuna] ray for those who cal[lacuna]umniate and persecute you:. That you may be sons of your father who is in heaven: who commandeth his sun to rise upon the good and the evil: and raineth upon the just and the unjust. 46. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the publicans this? 47. And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? Do not also the heathens this? 48. Be you therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, who is in heaven. When therefore thou dost an alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. 3. But when thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth: that thy alms may be in secret, and thy father, who seeth in secret, shall repay thee openly. 5. And when you pray, you shall not be so. [lacuna] hypocrites, wh[lacuna] love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: amen I say to you, they have received their reward. 6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy father in secret; and thy father who seeth in secret, shall repay thee openly.

7. And when praying, speak not much [lacuna] as the heathens [lacuna] For they th[lacuna]ink that [lacuna] by their much speaking they shall be heard. 8. Be not therefore like to them. For your father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask. Him. Thus therefore shall you pray to him: Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name. 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. [lacuna] us. Today. And forgive us our debts, as also [lacuna] [lacuna] our debtors. And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. 14. For if you forgive men their sins: your Father who is in heaven will forgive you also. 15. But if you do not forgive [lacuna] men: neither will your Father forgive you your sins. 16. And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast.

17. But [lacuna] you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face. That you appear not to men to fast, but to your father, who is in secret: and your Father, who seeth in secret, shall repay you openly. 19. Lay not up [lacuna] for yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust and moth destroy: and where thieves break through, and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither rust nor moth doth destroy: and where thieves do not break through. And steal. For where thy treasure is, there also shall thy heart be. 22. The lamp of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single: thy whole body shall be lightsome. 23. But if thy eye be evil: thy whole body shall be darksome. How great then are the darknesses in thee? 24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will endure the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon.

25. Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous in your heart what you shall eat, nor for your body what you shall put on. Is not the soul more than the food: and the body more than the raiment? 26. Behold the birds of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? 27. For who of you can add to his stature one cubit? 28. And of raiment why are you sol[lacuna]icitous? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they [lacuna] abour not, [lacuna] either do they spin [lacuna] yet. I say [lacuna] to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. 30. And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

31. Be not therefore sol[lacuna]icitous, say[lacuna]ing: What shall we [lacuna] eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be covered? For these things the heathe[lacuna]ns seek [lacuna] your father knoweth that you have need of all these things. 33. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice: and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow. For the morrow shall be sol[lacuna]icitous for its[lacuna]elf. Suffic[lacuna]ient for the day is the evil thereof.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For in what judgment ye shall have judged, it shall be judged of you: and in what measure ye shall have measured, it shall be measured to you. 3. But why seest thou the mote in the eye of thy brother: and the beam, which is in thine own eye, dost thou not consider? 4. Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Suffer me to cast out the mote from thine eye: and [lacuna] behold a beam is in thine eye? 5. Hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote from the eye of thy brother. 6. Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine: lest perchance they tram[lacuna]ple them with their feet, and turning [lacuna] dir[lacuna]. Ask, and [lacuna] shall be given to yo[lacuna]seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened. To yo[lacuna].

For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there among you of whom his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? 10. Or if he shall ask a fish[lacuna], will he reach him. Serpent? If therefore ye, though ye be evil, know how to give good gifts [lacuna] to your children [lacuna]: how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him. 12. All things therefore whatsoever ye will that men should do unto you good things, so do ye also to them. For this is the law, and the Prophets. 13. Enter ye in at the narrow gate: how broad, and spacious is the way, which leadeth to perdition, and many there are who enter through it[lacuna]. Narrow[lacuna] is the way, which leadeth to life: and few there are who find it!

15. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves: by their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit: neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. 20. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know. Them. Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth the will[lacuna] of the Father[lacuna] who is in heaven, he shall have entered into the kingdom of heaven. Many shall say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils?

And then I shall say to them: Because I know you not: depart from me, ye workers [lacuna] of iniquity. 24. Every one that heareth my words, and doeth them, is likened to a wise man[lacuna], who built his house upon a rock: the rain descended, the floods came, the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these my words, and doeth them not, is likened to a [lacuna] foolish man, [lacuna] who built his house upon sa[lacuna]nd: 27. And the rain des[lacuna]cended, the [lacuna] floods came[lacuna], the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. 28. And it came to pass: when Jesus had ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his doctrine. 29. For he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.

And coming down[lacuna]. A certain leper came, and worshipped him saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me. Clean. And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4. And Jesus said to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift, which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them[lacuna] After[lacuna]. When he was entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a certain Centurion, beseeching him. And saying: Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grievously tormented. And Jesus said to him: I will come and heal him. And the Centurion answering, said to him: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only say the word[lacuna] and he shall be.

Healed[lacuna]: for I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this one: Go, and he goeth; to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant I say, Do this, and he doeth it. 10. And Jesus hearing this marvelled, and said to them that followed him: Amen I say to you, that in no one have I found so great faith in Israel. 11. And I say to you, that many shall come from the east, and the west and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven: but the children of the kingdom shall go into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth. 13. And Jesus said to the Centurion: Go, as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was healed from that hour. 14. And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and sick of a fever: 15.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them. 16. And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the unclean spirits with a word: and all that were sick he healed: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying: He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. 18. And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, commanded his disciples to go over. The water. And a certain Scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go. 20. Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests where they may rest: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21. And another of the disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go, and bury my father.

22. And Jesus said to him: Follow me, and le[lacuna]ve the dead: let the dead bury their own dead[lacuna] as he went up into the little ship, his disciples followed him: 24. And be[lacuna]hold a great commotion was made in the sea, so that[lacuna] the little ship was covered with the waves, but he himself was sleeping. And they came to him and awoke him, saying: Lord, deli[lacuna]ver us. We perish. He said to them: Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up, he rebuked[lacuna] the wind and the sea, and there came a great calm. But those men marvelled, saying: What manner of man[lacuna] is this, that the wind and the sea obey[lacuna]. And when he[lacuna] was come over the water into the country of the G[lacuna]ergasenes, there met him two [lacuna] possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way.

29. And they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son[lacuna]? Art thou come hither [lacuna] before the time [lacuna] to torment us? 30. And[lacuna] there was not far from them[lacuna] a herd[lacuna] of many swine feeding. 31. And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out, send us into the herd of swine. 32. And he said to them: Go. And they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd rushed with great violence down a steep place into the sea: and they died in the waters. 33. And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, [lacuna] told all things, and concerning them that had been possessed with devils. 34. And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him they besought him, that he would depart from their borders.

And entering into a boat he passed over the water, and came into the city. Of Judaea. And they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith, [lacuna] said to the paralytic: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 3. And behold certain of the Scribes said within themselves: This man blasphemeth: who can forgive sins, but God alone. 4. And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do ye think evil in your. Hearts? Which is easier, to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, and walk? 6. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth [lacuna] to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic: Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thy house. 7. And he arose, and went into his house. 8. And the multitudes seeing it feared, and glori[lacuna]fied the Lord, who gave such power to men.

And as Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew. And he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 10. And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus, and with his disciples: 11. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why[lacuna] did publicans and sinners sit down with Jesus, and with his disciples. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth he eat with publicans and sinners? 12. And Jesus[lacuna] answering, said[lacuna]: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. But go and learn what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice[lacuna]. For I am not come to call[lacuna] the just but sinners. 14. Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we, and the Pharisees, fast often: but thy disciples fast not?

15. And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridechamber fast[lacuna] as long as the bridegroom is with them[lacuna]? But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them[lacuna]: and then they shall fast in those days. Neither[lacuna] doth one put a piece of raw cloth onto an old garment: for it taketh away the fulness thereof, and there is made a worse. Rent. Neither[lacuna] do they put new wine into old bottles, otherwise the bottles are broken[lacuna], and the wine will be spilled. But new wine[lacuna] they put into new bottles, and both are preserved. 18. While he was yet[lacuna] speaking these things to them, behold a certain ruler came up, and worshipped him, say[lacuna]ing: My daughter[lacuna] is even now dead[lacuna]: but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19. And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

And behold a woman, who had been troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came [lacuna] behind him, and [lacuna] touched [lacuna] his garment. 21. For she said within herself: If I shall touch his garment, I shall be healed. 22. But he turning and seeing her, said[lacuna]: Be of good heart[lacuna] daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the crowd making a tumult, he said. 24. Depart: for the girl[lacuna] is not dead[lacuna], but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25. But when the crowd was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the girl arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. 27. And as Jesus passed on from thence, there followed him two blind men, crying out: Have mercy on us. Thou Son of David.

And when he was come into the house, the two blind men came to him. And Jesus said to them: Do ye believe that I am able to do this unto you? They say to him: Yea, Lord. 29. Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done unto you. And immediately their eyes were opened: and Jesus strictly charged them, saying: See that no man know this. 31. But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that land. 32. And when they were gone out, behold they brought to him a dumb and deaf man, having a devil. 33. And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes marvelled, saying: Never was the like seen in Israel. 35. And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every infirmity: and many followed him.

36. And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed, and[lacuna] lying[lacuna] as sheep not having a shepherd. 37. Then he said to his disciples: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may send[lacuna] labourers[lacuna] into his harvest.

Am. And having called together his twelve disc[lacuna]les, he gave them power over unclean spirits, that they might cast them out, and heal every languor and every infirmity. 2. Now these are the names of the twelve Apostles. First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother. 3. James of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthe[lacuna] the publican, [lacuna] James of Alphaeus, and Judas Zelotes, and Thomas. And Sim[lacuna]ha-nanaeus, and Jud[lacuna]rioth, [lacuna] who also betrayed him. 5. These twelve Jesus sent; commanding them, and saying: Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and enter not into the cities of the Samaritans: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going, preach, saying: That the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleans[lacuna] the lepers, cast out dev[lacuna], freely you have received, freely give. 9. Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your.

Belts: no wallet for the journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs in your hands: for the worker is worthy of his reward. 11. Into whatsoever city you shall enter, ask who in it is [lacuna] worthy: and there remain until you depart. 12. And entering into the house, salute it saying: Peace to this. House. And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it: but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth outside from the house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15. Amen I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for the land of the Sodomites and Gomorrheans in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16. Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents, and simple as doves. 17. Beware of men.

For they will deliver you up in councils, and will scourge you: and before kings and governors you shall stand for my sake, in testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19. But when they shall deliver you up, be not thoughtful what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what you shall speak. 20. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father, who speaks in you. 21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to 22. Death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. 23. And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. But if they persecute you in another, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish the cities of Israel, before the Son of man come.

24. The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above. The lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master; and the servant as his lord. If they have called the father of the family Beelzebul: how much more [lacuna] his household[lacuna]. Fear them not therefore. For nothing is covered that shall not be reve[lacuna]led; nor hidden, that shall not be. Known. What I say to you [lacuna] darkness, speak in the light: and what you hear in the ear, preach upon. The housetops. And fear not them that kill the body; but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him, who is able to destroy [lacuna] soul and [lacuna] body in gehenna. 29. Are not two sparrows sold for a far[lacuna]thing: and one of [lacuna] them falls not [lacuna] upon the [lacuna] earth without the [lacuna] will of the Father [lacuna] ther? But even the hairs of your [lacuna] head are all numbered.

Fear [lacuna] not therefore: you are [lacuna] worth more [lacuna] than many [lacuna] spar[lacuna]rows. My Father, who is in heaven: But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father, who is in heaven. 34. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I came to separ[lacuna]ate [lacuna] against the father [lacuna] the son[lacuna] against his mother, [lacuna] and against her mother-in-law: 36. And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. 37. He that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that does not take up his cross, and follow me, is not worthy of me. 39. He that shall find [lacuna] his soul, [lacuna] shall lose it: and he that shall lose [lacuna] his soul [lacuna] for [lacuna] my sake, shall find. It.

He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him who [lacuna] sent me. 41. He that receives a [lacuna] prophet in the [lacuna] name of a pro[lacuna]phet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receives a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the re[lacuna]ward of a just [lacuna] man. And he that [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] only in the name of a disciple: amen I say to you, that his reward shall not perish.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 2. Now when John had heard in prison the works [lacuna]; sending his disc[lacuna]ples, he said: Are you he that is to come, [lacuna] or do we look for another? 4. And Jesus answering said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen. The blind see, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise again, and the poor have the gospel preached to them [lacuna] blessed. He that in me [lacuna] shall not be scandalized. And as they [lacuna] departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John the Baptist: What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8. But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of.

But what did you go out to see? A pro[lacuna]phet also? Yea [lacuna] I say to you, behold [lacuna] more than a pro[lacuna]phet. 10. This is he [lacuna] of whom it is [lacuna] written. Behold I send my angel before my face, and he prepared your way before you. 11. Amen I say to you, there has not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: but he that is less[lacuna] in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he[lacuna]. [lacuna] of the days [lacuna] of John the Ba[lacuna]ptist [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] is taken by force, and those who take by force seize it. 13. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John: and if you will know, he himself is Elias, who is to come. 15. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. 16. But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the marketplace, and calling [lacuna] to one another, and.

Saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented to you, and you have not mourned. 18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a devil: The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children. 20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. 21. Woe to you Corazain, and Bethsaida: because if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes. 22. Amen I say to you: It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. 23. And you Capharnaum, shall you be exalted up to heaven? Or shall you go down even to hell.

Because if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. 24. But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you. 25. At that time Jesus answering said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea Father: for so it [lacuna] well-pleasing before thee. 27. All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son, but the Father: neither does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall will to reveal him. 28. Come to me all you that labour and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Am. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek and humble of heart: and you shall find rest for your souls.

30. For my yoke is sweet, and my burden light.

Est. In that time [lacuna] it Jesus [lacuna] co [lacuna] tis: but his disciples, being hungry, began to pluck ears of grain and to eat. Far [lacuna] but seeing [lacuna] said [lacuna] Thy disciples do what is not lawful [lacuna] to do on the sabbaths [lacuna] he said to them: Have you not read what David did, when he was hun[lacuna]gry, he himself [lacuna] and those who were with him. Were: how he entered into the house of D. [lacuna] and ate the loaves of proposition, wh[lacuna]ich it was not lawful [lacuna] to eat [lacuna] bis who were with him, except for the prie[lacuna] sts? 5. Or have you not [lacuna] in [lacuna] sabb[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] But I say to you, that [lacuna] than the temple this one is greater. 7. For if you had known what it is: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.

For the Lord is of the sabbath, the son[lacuna] ho[lacuna] of man[lacuna]. [lacuna] from there [lacuna] he came [lacuna] gam. [lacuna] behold [lacuna] mo was there [lacuna] having a [lacuna] a [lacuna] idam, and [lacuna] [lacuna] to heal on the sabbaths? That they might accuse him. 11. But he himself said to them: Who [lacuna] of you, who ha[lacuna], and if it shall fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not hold it and lift it out? How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful on the sab[lacuna] baths to do good? [lacuna] man [lacuna] stretch [lacuna] out thy hand[lacuna] he stretched [lacuna] his hand, [lacuna] restored [lacuna] like also the other. 14. And the Pharisees going out, took counsel against him, to destroy him. But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew from there: and many followed him, and he healed them. But all whom he healed. He commanded them, that they should not make him known.

17. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: 18. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, the beloved, in whom my soul was well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and judgment he announced to the nations. 19. He shall not strive, nor cry out, nor shall anyone hear in the streets his voice. A bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, until he cast forth judgment unto victory: 21. And in his name shall the nations hope. 22. Then there was brought to him a man having a demon, blind, and dumb, and he healed him so that he spoke. And saw. And all the crowds were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David? 24. But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the prince of demons. 25. But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be made desolate: and every city, or house divided against itself, shall not stand.

26. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? 27. But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they themselves shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has drawn near upon you. 29. Or how can anyone enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. And. He who is not with me, is against me: and he who does not gather with me, scatters [lacuna] deo I say to yo[lacuna] Every si[lacuna] and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men. 32. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he who shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in the future.

33. Either make [lacuna] bo[lacuna] the tree good, and its fruit good: or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad: for by its fruit the tree shall be known. 34. Brood of vipers, how can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35. A good man out of a good treasure brings forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36. But I say to you, that every idle word which men shall speak, they shall render account of it in the day 37. Of judgment. For by his own words each man shall be justified, or condemned. 38. Then certain ones of the Scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master, we wish from you a sign [lacuna] but answering he said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign: and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the Prophet.

40. For as Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights: so shall also the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas.

And behold one greater here than Jonas. The Queen of the South shall rise in this generation in judgment, and shall condemn it: because she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold one greater here than Solomon. 43. But when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest, and. Finds it not. Then he says: I will return into my house from which he went out. And coming he finds it empty, and swept, and adorned. Then he goes, and takes with him four other spirits more wicked than himself; and entering in they dwell there: and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be to this most wicked generation. 46. Hae[lacuna] oque[lacuna] te[lacuna] a[lacuna] the crowds, be[lacuna] his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him. 47. But one said to him: Behold thy mother, and thy brothers stand outside seeking to see thee.

48. But Jesus answering, said to him who was speaking with him: Who is my mother, or who are my brothers? [lacuna] stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said: Behold my mother, and my brothers. 50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

On that day Jesus went out and sat by the sea. And crowds were gathered to him, so that he went up into a boat, and all the crowds stood. He spoke to them many parab. Saying: Behold the sower went out to sow. And as he sows, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and ate them. [lacuna] had root, they withered. 7. And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up, and choked them. But others fell upon good ground: and they yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, another sixty, another. Thirty. He who has ears, let him hear—[lacuna] And his disciples came to him and said to him: Why do you speak to them in parables? 11. And he answering said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom: but to them it is not. Given. For he who has, it shall be given to him, and he shall abound: but he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.

13. Therefore in parables I speak to them: that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not hear. 14. And then is fulfilled the proph[lacuna] ecy of Isaiah saying: Go, tell this people; with hearing you shall hear, and shall not. Understand. Make the heart of this people fat, their ears, and eyes weigh down: lest at any time they be converted, and I heal. Them. But blessed are your eyes which see, and ears which hear. 17. Amen I say to you, that many prophets and just men desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear. 18. Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. 19. Every one who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart: this is he who was sown by the wayside.

20. But he who was sown upon the rock, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it: 21. Lum: but he has no root in himself, but is temporal. But when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he is scandalized. 22. And he who is sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the anxiety of the world, and the desires of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23. But he who was sown upon good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, then he shall bring forth fruit, and yields some indeed a hundred, and some sixty, some thirty. 24. Another parable he set before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed cockle among the wheat, and went away. But when the blade had sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared the cockle. Nia.

And the servants of the master of the household came, and said to him: Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then does it have cockle? Nia? And he said to them: An enemy has done this. And the servants say, Do you wish, shall we go and gather. Them? He said to them: No: lest perhaps gathering the cockle, you root up also the wheat with it. 30. But let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable he spoke to them saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which [lacuna] a man took and sowed in his field: 32.

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it has grown, it is greater than all herbs, and becomes a tree so great, that the birds [lacuna] of heaven come, and dwell in its br[lacuna] [lacuna] anches. [lacuna] Another parab[lacuna] le he said to them. [lacuna] The kingdom [lacuna] of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened. 34. Ha[lacuna] nia [lacuna] tus est Jesus in parables [lacuna] [lacuna] in parables he did not speak to them: 35. That it might be fulfilled [lacuna] what was spo[lacuna] ken [lacuna] era[lacuna] through the Pro[lacuna]phet saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house: and his disciples came to him, say[lacuna]ing: [lacuna] [lacuna] rra [lacuna] parab[lacuna] of the wheat and cockle of the field.

37. And Jesus answering said: He who sow[lacuna] the good se[lacuna] is the Son of man. And the field is this world. The good se[lacuna] men, these are the sons of the kingdom. But the cockle, they are the sons of wicked39. Ness. But the enemy who sowed them, is the devil. And the harvest is the end of the age. And the reapers. Are the angels. As therefore the cockle is gathered, and burned with fire: so shall it be at the end of the age. The Son of ma[lacuna] [lacuna] shall send his angels, and they shall gather[lacuna] from his kingdom[lacuna] all[lacuna] scandals, and those who do iniquity[lacuna]: and shall cast[lacuna] them into the furnace of fire. There shall be weeping, and gna[lacuna]shing of teeth. 43. Then the just shall shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

44. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field: which when a man fin[lacuna]ds, he hides[lacuna], and for joy[lacuna] of it he goes, sells all that he has, [lacuna] and buys that field. 45. Again the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man seek[lacuna] [lacuna] ing [lacuna] one pearl. 46. And having found a precious[lacuna] [lacuna] pearl[lacuna] he went, and sold[lacuna] whatsoever[lacuna] he had, and bought it. 47. Again the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers of every kind of fish [lacuna] But when[lacuna] it was[lacuna] full, they drew it out to the shore sitting, they chose[lacuna] the best. Pi [lacuna] su [lacuna] te [lacuna] they sent. So it shall be at the consummation of the age [lacuna] an [lacuna] ra [lacuna] los [lacuna] dio. Of the just, and they shall cast them [lacuna] into the furnace of fire [lacuna] there [lacuna] weeping, and gna [lacuna] shing, and he said.

51. Have ye understood all these things? The [lacuna] say to him: Yea. He [lacuna] to them: Therefore every scr- [lacuna] a learned [lacuna] [lacuna] of the kingdom, is like a man that is a householder, who [lacuna] bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 53. And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parab [lacuna] es, he passed [lacuna] from thence. 54. And he came [lacuna] [lacuna] Whence hath this man wisdom, and power? [lacuna] is not this the son of Joseph the carpenter? Is not [lacuna] his mother called Mary; and his breth [lacuna] en James, and Joseph, and Simon. And Judas? And are not his sisters all [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] in his own country [lacuna], and in [lacuna] Therefore he did not work many mighty deeds there [lacuna], because of their un [lacuna] belief [lacuna]

In that ti [lacuna] me He [lacuna] rod [lacuna] heard [lacuna] [lacuna] pu [lacuna] This is Jo [lacuna] the Ba [lacuna] tist [lacuna] he is risen; [lacuna] and. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] im [lacuna] han- [lacuna] bound [lacuna] in prison on account of Herodias the wife. Of his bro [lacuna] er. For John said to him: It is not law [lacuna] ful for thee to have. Her [lacuna] wishing to kill him, [lacuna] he feared the people [lacuna] because they held him as a prophet. 6. On the birth [lacuna] day [lacuna] [lacuna] H [lacuna] when [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] danc [lacuna] she [lacuna] prompted by her mo [lacuna] ther said: Give me here on this dish. She [lacuna] prompted by her mo [lacuna] ther said: Give me here on this dish the head of John the Baptist. 9. And king Herod was grieved because of the oath, and because of those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given. 10. And he sent and [lacuna] beheaded Jo- [lacuna] in the pri-.

Son [lacuna] And [lacuna] [lacuna] it was [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] platter. 12. His disciples [lacuna] and took the body, and buried him: and they came and told Jesus. 13. When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from thence in a boat, into a desert place apart. And when the multitudes had heard, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14. And when Jesus saw a great multitude, he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15. And when evening was come, his disciples came to him, saying: The place is desert, and the hour is already past: send the multitude away, that going into the villages they may buy themselves food. 16. But Jesus said: They have no need to go: give ye them to eat. They answered. Him: We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18. And Jesus said: Bring them to 19. Me.

And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed, and br [lacuna] ke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20. And they all ate, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve baskets full. 21. And the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides children and women. 22. And immediately Jesus commanded his disciples to get into the boat, and to go before him across the sea, until he should dismiss the multitudes. 23. And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into the mountain alone to pray. And when evening was come he was alone. There. But the boat was in the midst of the sea tossed [lacuna] by the waves: for the wind was contrary to them. 25. But in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking. Upon the sea.

And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were troubled, saying: It is a phantom. And for fear they cried out. And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good courage, fear not, for it. And Peter answering said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the water. 29. And he said: Come. And Peter going down from the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus. 30. But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he had begun to sink, he cried out saying: Lord, save me. 31. And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand, took hold of him: and said to him: O thou of little faith, why. Didst thou doubt? And when they had gone up into the boat, the wind ceased. 33. But they that were in the boat came and worshipped him, saying: Truly thou art the Son of God. 34. And when they had crossed over they came to the land. Of Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent word into all that region, and brought to him all that were sick. 36. And they besought him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.

Then there came to him Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying: Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3. But he answering said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said: 4. Honour thy father and thy mother; and: Whosoever shall curse father or mother let him die the death. 5. But ye say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother: the gift whatsoever that is from me shall profit thee, hath not honoured his father: and ye have made void the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7. Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying: 8. This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men. 10. And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: Hear and understand.

Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth a man: but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, that defileth a man. 12. Then his disciples came and said to him: Knowest thou that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? 13. And Jesus answering said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone: they are blind guides of the blind, but if the blind lead the blind, both fall into the pit. 15. And Peter answering said to him: Explain to us this parable. 16. And he said: Are ye also yet without understanding. Estis? Do ye not understand, that everything that entereth into the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught. 18. But the things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart. And these defile a man: 19. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies. 20. These are the things which defile a man.

But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man. 21. And Jesus departing from thence, withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22. And behold a Canaanitish woman coming out from those borders cried out, saying: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously vexed with. Devil. But Jesus answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away: for she crieth after 24. Us. But he answering said: I am not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house. Of Israel. But she came and worshipped him, saying: Lord, help me. 26. But he answering said to her: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to 27. The dogs. But she said: Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. 28. Then Jesus answering said: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt.

And her daughter was healed from that hour. 29. And when Jesus had passed from thence, he came again beside the sea of Galilee: and going up into the mountain. He sat there. And great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the dumb, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: 31. So that the multitudes marvelled, seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel. 32. And Jesus, having called together his disciples, said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting [lacuna], lest they faint in the way. 33. And his disciples say to him: Whence then in the desert so many loaves [lacuna] to satisfy [lacuna] so great a multitude [lacuna]? 34. And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have ye? And they said: Seven, and a few little fishes. And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground.

36. And Jesus took the loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and gave to his disciples, and the [lacuna] disciples gave to the people. And they all ate, and were filled. And what remained [lacuna] of the loaves, they took up seven baskets full. And they [lacuna] that had eaten were four thousand men, besides children and. Women. And, having dismissed the multitude, he went up into the boat: and came into the borders of Magedan.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him tempting him: and asked him that he would show them a sign from heaven. 2. But he answering said: When evening is come, ye say: It will be fair weather, for the sky is red with clouds. 3. And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red. 4. The face of the sky ye know how to judge: but can ye not know the signs of the times? An evil generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonas the Prophet. And leaving them. He departed: And when he had come across the sea, his disciples forgot to take bread. 6. But Jesus said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. 7. Then they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread. 8. But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Why think ye within yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have no 9. Bread?

Do ye not yet understand [lacuna] [lacuna] nor remember [lacuna] the five loaves, and five thousand men, and how many baskets ye took up? Nor the seven loaves, and four thousand men, and how many baskets ye took up? Why do ye not understand, that I said not to you concerning bread: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then they understood, that he said not to them that they should beware of leaven, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees, that they should take heed to themselves. And Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, and asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am? And they said: Some John the Baptist; but others Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith to them: But whom do ye say that I am? Simon Peter answering said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven. For I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee 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. 20. Then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he himself was Christ. 21. From that time Jesus began to show his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and be killed, and rise again after the third day. And Peter taking him aside began to rebuke him, and to say: Be it far from thee, Lord, this shall not be. But.

He turning to Peter, said: Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal to me: for thou dost not savour the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. 24. Then [lacuna] he said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself [lacuna] and take up his cross, and fol-. [lacuna] low me. For he that will save his life, shall lose it: but he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. 26. For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? 27. For the Son of man shall come in the majesty of his Father with his angels: and then he will render to every man according to his works. 28. Amen I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man coming in majesty

Sua. And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and led them up into a high mountain apart: and he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4. And Peter answering said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5. And while he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold a voice out of the cloud was heard, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. 6. And the disciples hearing it fell upon their face, and were greatly. Afraid. And Jesus came and touched them; and said to them: Arise, and. Fear not. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but only. Jesus.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead. 10. And the disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the Scribes say that Elias must come first? But he answering said: Elias indeed shall come and restore all things. But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but did to him whatsoever they would. 13. Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist: So also the Son of man must needs suffer from them. 14. And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and suffereth grievously: for he often falleth into the fire, and sometimes into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

16. And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I suffer you? How long shall I be with you? Bring him hither to me. 17. And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour. 18. Then the disciples came to Jesus secretly, and said to him: Why could we not [lacuna] cast him out? 19. He said to them: Because of your unbelief. Amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible. To you. But this kind of devil is not cast out but by prayer and fasting. 21. And while they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: It shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands [lacuna] [lacuna] and they shall kill him, and after the third day he shall rise again. And they were exceeding sorry when they heard this.

23. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the tribute came to Peter, and said to him: Doth not your master pay the tribute? 24. And he said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, O kings [lacuna] from whom do they receive tribute or census [lacuna]? From their own children, or from strangers? And he said: From strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free. 26. But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and opening its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that and give it to them for me and thee.

In that day the disciples came to Jesus, saying: [lacuna] who thinkest thou is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2. And Jesus called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he shall be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it is nece[lacuna]ssary that scan[lacuna]dals come: but neverthe[lacuna]less woe to that ma[lacuna] through whom scandal cometh.

8. And if thy hand or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed or lame, than having two feet or two hands to be cast into everlasting fire. 9. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into the gehenna of fire. 10. See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father, who is in heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12. What think you? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which. Hath gone astray?

And if it come to pass that he find it: Amen I say to you, that he shall rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that went not astray. 14. Even so it is not the will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15. But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. 16. And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more; that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. 17. And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the publican. Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.

19. Again amen I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father, who is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Then Peter coming to him [lacuna] said to him: Lord, if my brother shall offend against me, how often shall I forgive him? Until seven times? 22. Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, until seven times: but until seventy times seven. 23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his. Servants. And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him that owed him ten thousand talents. And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

But that servant falling down at the feet of his lord, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27. And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go, and forgave him the debt. 28. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him a hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest. 29. And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. 30. But he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt. 31. Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved: and they came and told their lord all that had been done. 32. Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me: 33.

Wast not thou then bound also to have mercy on thy fellow servant, even as I had mercy on thee? 34. And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers, until he paid all the debt. 35. So also shall my Father, who is in heaven, do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had spoken these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea and beyond the Jordan, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them. [lacuna] And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife, for any cause whatsoever? 4. And Jesus answering said: Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female? And said: 5. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be in one flesh. 6. So then they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together into one, it is not lawful to separate. They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put her away?

8. Jesus says to them: Because of the hardness of your heart Moses permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9. But I say to you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery. 10. His disciples say to him: If the case of a man with his wife is so, it is not expedient to marry. 11. But Jesus said to them: Not all receive this word, but those to whom it is given. 12. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it. 13. Then there were brought to him infants, that he might lay his hands on them, and heal them. But his disciples forbade them.

14. But Jesus said: Suffer the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And having laid his hand on them, he departed thence. 16. And behold one came to him, and said to him: Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? And Jesus said to him: Why do you ask me about the good? One is good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: You shall not kill: You shall not commit adultery: You shall not commit adultery: You shall not steal: You shall not bear false witness: 19. Honour your father and your mother: and, you shall love your neighbour as yourself. 20. And the young man said to him: All these things I have kept from my youth, what is yet lacking to me?

21. Jesus said to him: If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your goods, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22. But when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had many possessions. 23. But Jesus said to his disciples: Amen I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. Again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. 25. And when his disciples had heard this, they marvelled, and were greatly afraid, saying: Who then can be saved? 26. But Jesus looking upon them, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible. 27. Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and followed you: what therefore shall be to us?

But Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit upon the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit upon twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29. And every one who shall have left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess eternal life. 30. But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.

For the [lacuna] kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3. And going out again about the third hour, he found others standing idle in the marketplace, and said to them: Go you also into the [lacuna] neyard, and [lacuna] whatever [lacuna] shall be just I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour: he did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing, and says to them: Why do you stand here all the. Day idle? They say to him: Because no one has hired us. He says to them: Go you also into my vineyard. When eve[lacuna]ning was come [lacuna], the lord of the vineyard says to his steward: Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first.

9. When therefore those who had come about the eleventh hour came, they received each a penny. But when the first also came, they supposed that they would receive more [lacuna]: but they also received each a penny. 11. And receiving they murmured against the father. Of the household, say- [lacuna] These last [lacuna] one hour [lacuna] have worked, and you have made them equal to us, who [lacuna] have borne [lacuna] the burden of the day, 13, 14. With? Take therefore what is yours, and go: but I wish to give also to this last as to you. [lacuna] is it not lawful for me to do what I will [lacuna] with mine own? Or [lacuna] is your [lacuna] eye evil, because I am good [lacuna]? [lacuna] are the last [lacuna] Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart on the way.

And said to them: Behold we go up to Jeru[lacuna]salem, and the son of man[lacuna] shall be betrayed[lacuna] to the chief[lacuna] priests, and scri[lacuna]bes, and they shall con[lacuna]demn him[lacuna] to death[lacuna] [lacuna] but those to whom it is given. [lacuna] [lacuna] my Father. [lacuna] and they [lacuna] were grieved concerning the two [lacuna] brothers. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] of them: and [lacuna] rulers [lacuna] exercise authority [lacuna] over [lacuna] them. 26. It shall not be so among you: [lacuna] who[lacuna] [lacuna] shall be [lacuna] your grea- [lacuna] shall be [lacuna] servant. Ster: and he who would be [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] you. But you. The mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshipping, and asking something to be given. [lacuna] said to him. [lacuna] What do you wish? An[lacuna] she said.

Say that[lacuna] these two [lacuna] may sit [lacuna] one at [lacuna] your right [lacuna] and the other at your left [lacuna] in your kingdom. 22. He ans[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] we are able. 23. Jesus says to them: My cup indeed you shall drink[lacuna]: but to sit at my right hand or at my left, it is not mine to give to you who seek to grow from small and to be less than the greater. When you enter and are invited to a supper, do not recline in the more eminent places, lest perhaps one more distinguished than you may come; and he who invited you to the supper, may say to you: Come down yet lower, and you may be put to shame, in the lower place in which you had reclined, and one humbler than you shall have come, and he who invited you to the supper shall say to you: Come up yet higher. And this shall be more profitable for you.

29. And as they went out from Jericho, a great [lacuna] multitude followed him: and behold two blind men sitting by the wayside, [lacuna] cried out [lacuna] But the multitude rebuked [lacuna] them that they should be silent [lacuna] But they cried out the more [lacuna] crying out [lacuna] saying [lacuna] Have mercy [lacuna] on us, son [lacuna] of David.

And Jesus stopped [lacuna], and called them to him, and said to them: What [lacuna] do you wish that I should do. [lacuna] They say [lacuna] Lord, that [lacuna] our eyes may be opened [lacuna] which was spoken by Zach[lacuna] ria[lacuna] the proph[lacuna] [lacuna] saying: 5. [lacuna] daughter of Si- [lacuna] Behold your king is coming [lacuna] to you sitting [lacuna] upon an ass[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] the disciples did [lacuna] as [lacuna] he commanded them. [lacuna] And they brought [lacuna] the she-ass, [lacuna] [lacuna] upon him their garments, and he sat [lacuna] upon her [lacuna] And a very great [lacuna] multitude spread [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna]

And when they drew near [lacuna] to Jerusalem, and came [lacuna] into Beth[lacuna] [lacuna] of Olivet: [lacuna] then Jesus sent two [lacuna] disciples [lacuna] saying to them [lacuna] go [lacuna] which [lacuna] before you is, and you will come [lacuna] for [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] sol[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] their works des[lacuna] con[lacuna] rem[lacuna]. This [lacuna] was done [lacuna] that it might be fulfilled [lacuna] saying: Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord [lacuna] [lacuna] when he had entered into Jeru- [lacuna] salem, the whole [lacuna] city was moved. Saying: Who [lacuna] is this?

But many [lacuna] said: This is [lacuna] the prophet of Nazareth of Gali[lacuna] [lacuna] Jesus entered [lacuna] the temple of God, and cast out [lacuna] all who were sell- [lacuna] the tables of the money-changers, and the seats [lacuna] of those selling doves [lacuna] he overturned: and said: [lacuna] It is written [lacuna] my house [lacuna] house [lacuna] of prayer [lacuna] shall be called: [lacuna] [lacuna] But when [lacuna] the chief [lacuna] priests, and the scribes saw the wonders which Jesus did, and the children cry[lacuna]ing in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David: they were indignant, and said [lacuna] have you done this [lacuna] And leaving them [lacuna] he went out [lacuna] outside the ci[lacuna]ty to Beth[lacuna]any: and there he remained. 18. And in the morning, when it was made Jesus passing into the city, was hun19.

Gry [lacuna] And [lacuna] seeing a fig tree [lacuna] one by the way, he came to it: and found nothing in it but leaves only, and [lacuna] he said [lacuna] to it. Never[lacuna] from you let fruit[lacuna] be born [lacuna] for ever. And the fig tree withered [lacuna] immediately [lacuna] the disciples, marvelled, saying: How immediately. But Jesus answering, said to them: Amen I say to you, if you shall have faith, and shall not waver, not only of the fig tree shall you do this, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take [lacuna] yourself up, and cast [lacuna] yourself into the sea. It shall be done. And [lacuna] all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall receive. And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, saying: By what authority do you do these things?

And [lacuna] who gave [lacuna] [lacuna] you this authority? [lacuna] answering [lacuna] to them: [lacuna] I will ask you one [lacuna] word: which [lacuna] tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25. The baptism of John, whence was it [lacuna]? From heaven, or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying: 26. If we shall say, from heaven, he will say [lacuna] to us: Why [lacuna] did you not believe [lacuna] But if [lacuna] from [lacuna] men [lacuna] we fear [lacuna] all [lacuna] for they held John as a prophet. And answering Jesus, they said: We know not [lacuna] Jesus [lacuna] by what authority [lacuna] I do these things. 28. But what [lacuna] does it seem to you? A man who [lacuna] had two sons; and coming to the first, said to him: Go today to work in the vineyard. 29. But he answering [lacuna] said: No. And afterward, moved by repentance he went into the vineyard. 30. But he came to the other, and said likewise.

And he answering, said: I go, lord, and went not. 31. Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him: The last. Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that harlots, and [lacuna] publicans [lacuna] go before you [lacuna] into the kingdom of God. [lacuna] For John came [lacuna] [lacuna] to you [lacuna] in the way of justice [lacuna] and you did not believe [lacuna] [lacuna] him: but the publicans, and the harlots believed [lacuna] but you seeing, did not even have repentance afterward, that you did not believe [lacuna] him. 33. Another [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. 34. But when the time of fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive of the [lacuna] its [lacuna] of it.

And they [lacuna] the [lacuna] servants [lacuna] beat [lacuna] one [lacuna] stoned [lacuna] another [lacuna] killed [lacuna] Again he sent other servants more; and they did to them likewise. But last of all he sent to them his only son, saying: They will reverence my son. 38. But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir, come [lacuna] let us kill him, and we shall have his inherit[lacuna] ance. 39. And they seized [lacuna] [lacuna] him and killed him, and cast him out of the vi[lacuna]. Neyard. When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husband41. Men? They say to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men: and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render [lacuna] the fruit [lacuna] to him. [lacuna] [lacuna] He says. [lacuna] num. [lacuna] have you not read. [lacuna] The stone [lacuna] which the build- [lacuna] ers rejected, this has become the head [lacuna] [lacuna] of the Lord it was made, and it is marvellous. [lacuna] [lacuna] is?

43. Therefore I say [lacuna] to you, that [lacuna] shall be taken away [lacuna] from you the king[lacuna] dom of God. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] are prepared: come [lacuna] to the wedding feast. 5. But they [lacuna] neglected it: and went away, [lacuna] to their farm [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] Seek- [lacuna] some ing to lay [lacuna] laid hold of, hold on him, they feared [lacuna] his servants the crowds: [lacuna] and treated [lacuna] because they [lacuna] them [lacuna] held him [lacuna] shamefully and killed [lacuna] [lacuna] them. But he answering [lacuna] [lacuna] when he [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] had, was an-

And Jesus answering, spoke to them again in [lacuna] parables, his own, and destroyed [lacuna] those murderers, Like[lacuna] and burned their ci- [lacuna] ties. [lacuna] [lacuna] Then he said to his [lacuna] servants: The wedding feast [lacuna] [lacuna] indeed is pre- [lacuna] pared, but [lacuna] those who had been in- [lacuna] vited did [lacuna] [lacuna] not come. Say [lacuna] [lacuna] Go therefore [lacuna] [lacuna] to the exits of the [lacuna] [lacuna] roads, and whom- Say to those insoever vited: Behold [lacuna] when you shall come, my feast I invite to the wedhave prepared, the bulls ding feast. And the fatted And going out animals are slain, his servants into the and all things are road [lacuna] gathered [lacuna] all that they found, both bad and good: and the wed[lacuna]ding feast was filled with those reclining. 11. But the king entered [lacuna] to see those re- [lacuna] clining [lacuna] and he saw there [lacuna] a man not clothed [lacuna] with a wed- [lacuna] ding garment? But he was silent.

13. Then the king said to the servants: [lacuna] Bind him [lacuna] hand and foot, [lacuna] and cast [lacuna] him into the out- [lacuna] er dark- [lacuna] ness: there [lacuna] shall be weeping, and [lacuna] gnashing of teeth. [lacuna] For many are [lacuna] called, but few [lacuna] are elect. [lacuna] they went [lacuna] Jesus: Render the things that are Caesar's, to Caesar, and the things that are God's, to God. And they hearing [lacuna] marvelled, [lacuna] and leaving him [lacuna] they went away. [lacuna] On that day there came [lacuna] to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they questioned. Him saying: Master, Moses said: If any man shall have died not hav[lacuna]ing [lacuna] married [lacuna] his wife [lacuna] son [lacuna] and seed [lacuna] having taken a wife, he died not having seed, he left his wife to 26. His brother. Likewise the se[lacuna]cond, and the third, even to the seventh. 27. But last of all the woman also died.

28. In [lacuna] the resur[lacuna]rection [lacuna] [lacuna] not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 30. For in the resurrection neither [lacuna] nor [lacuna] the angels [lacuna] of God [lacuna] [lacuna] of the dead [lacuna] what was said [lacuna] they were astonished at his teaching. [lacuna] He says to them: How then does David in the spirit call him Lord [lacuna] saying: The Lord [lacuna] said to my Lord: Sit [lacuna] at my right [lacuna] hand, until I place your ene[lacuna] mies [lacuna] as a footstool of your feet? 45. If therefore David calls him in the spirit Lord, how [lacuna] is he his son [lacuna] the greatest, and first commandment. But the second [lacuna] is like to this: You shall love your neighbour [lacuna] [lacuna] On these two commandments [lacuna] the whole law depends, and the prophets. 41. But when they were gathered together [lacuna] [lacuna] to you [lacuna] concerning Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David's.

46. And no one [lacuna] was able to answer him a word: nor did anyone dare from that hour to question him any more.

Then Jesus [lacuna] spoke [lacuna] to the crowds [lacuna] and to the disci-. [lacuna] ples, saying: [lacuna] Upon the seat of Moses the scribes sat, and [lacuna] All things [lacuna] [lacuna] observe: for they say [lacuna] and do not. Do them. But they bind heavy burdens, and lay them upon the shoulders of men: but with their own finger they are not willing to move them. 5. But their own works they do that they may be seen by men: for they broaden their phylacteries, and enlarge their fringes. But they love the first places at feasts, and the first seats in the synagogues. And salutations in the marketplace, and to be called by men Rabbi. But you, do not wish to be called Rabbi. For one is your Master, for all of you are brothers. 9. And call no man your father upon earth: for one is your Father, who is in the heavens. 10. Neither be called masters; because your Master is Christ. 11. He who wishes to be greater among you [lacuna] your servant.

But he who shall exalt himself [lacuna] shall be humbled: and he who shall humble himself, shall be exalted. But woe to you Scribes and Phari[lacuna] [lacuna] sees, hypo[lacuna] crites, [lacuna] you shut [lacuna] the king[lacuna]dom of heaven [lacuna] before men [lacuna] for you do not enter, nor do you allow those entering to enter. 15. Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: because you compass sea and land, to make one proselyte: and when he shall have been made, you make him a son of hell twofold more than yourselves. 16. Woe to you blind guides, who say: Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. 17. Fools, and blind: For which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies. The gold? And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoever shall swear by the gift [lacuna] which [lacuna] is upon it, he is a debtor.

19. Blind: For whi[lacuna]ch is greater, the gift, or the altar, which sanctifies. The gift? He there[lacuna]fore who shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things which are upon [lacuna] it. 21. And whoever swears by [lacuna] ve- [lacuna] lo, swears [lacuna], and by [lacuna] habit [lacuna] in it: and whoever [lacuna] shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by [lacuna] who [lacuna] him. 23. Woe [lacuna] Scribes [lacuna] saei hypocrites: because you tithe [lacuna] mint, and dill, and have left aside the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mer [lacuna] cy, and faith. These [lacuna] however [lacuna] he ought to do; and those not to omit. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel. 25. Woe to you Scribes and [lacuna] risees hypocrites, because you cleanse what is on the outside of the cup and of the dish: but within they are full of plunder, and intemperance.

26. Pharisee, blind one, cleanse first what is within the cup, that the outside of it also may become clean. 27. Woe to you Sc [lacuna] bes and Pharisees hypo [lacuna] tes: because you are sim [lacuna] lar to whitened [lacuna] sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men as beautiful, but within are full of [lacuna] bones of the dead, and all uncleanness. So also you outwardly indeed appear to men as just: but within you are full of hypocrisy, and iniquity. 29. Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites, [lacuna] who build [lacuna] the sepulchres [lacuna] of the prophets, [lacuna] and adorn the monu- [lacuna] ments of the just. And say: Because if we had been in the [lacuna] days of our fa- [lacuna] thers, we would not have been partakers with them in the bl [lacuna] od of the pro [lacuna] ets. 31. There [lacuna] fore you bear witness against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed [lacuna] the prophets. 32. And you also fill [lacuna] up the meas [lacuna] ure of your fa [lacuna] thers.

33. Serpen [lacuna] brood [lacuna] of viper [lacuna] how [lacuna] shall you fl [lacuna] from the judgment of gehenna? Therefore behold I send to you prophets, wise men, [lacuna] and scribes, and [lacuna] some you will kill [lacuna] and cruci [lacuna] fy, and [lacuna] [lacuna] from city [lacuna] to city [lacuna] that there may come [lacuna] upon you all [lacuna] just bl [lacuna] od, [lacuna] shed [lacuna] upon [lacuna] the earth, from [lacuna] the blood of Ab [lacuna] even to [lacuna] the blood of Zachari [lacuna] son of Barac [lacuna] whom you killed between the temple and the altar. Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this gene [lacuna] tion [lacuna] Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you, how often would I [lacuna] gather your children [lacuna] together, as a [lacuna] hen gath [lacuna] ers her chicks [lacuna] under her wings [lacuna] and you would [lacuna] not [lacuna] Behold your [lacuna] house [lacuna] shall be left to you desolate.

39. But I say to you, that you shall not see [lacuna] me henceforth, until you say: [lacuna] Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

And Jesus going out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to him to show him the structure of the temple. [lacuna] [lacuna] but answering [lacuna] said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, that there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone, that shall not be [lacuna] stroyed. 3. As he sat [lacuna] upon the mount [lacuna] of Olives [lacuna] they came to him the disci [lacuna] privately, [lacuna] ying: Tell us [lacuna], when shall [lacuna] these things be? And [lacuna] what sign [lacuna] of your coming [lacuna] and of the con [lacuna] summa [lacuna] tion of the age [lacuna]? 4. And Jesus answering said: Take heed that no one seduce you in any way. 5. For many shall come in my na [lacuna], saying: [lacuna] I am the Christ: and [lacuna] they shall seduce many.

6. But hearing of wars, [lacuna] and rumors of wars [lacuna] See that [lacuna] you are not troubled [lacuna]: for it must come to pass [lacuna] but the end [lacuna] is not yet. 7. For nation [lacuna] shall rise against [lacuna] nation, and [lacuna] kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and earthquakes. In all places. These are the beginnings of sorrows. 9. Then they shall deliver you up into tribulation, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many shall be scandalized, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall seduce many. And because iniquity shall abound, the charity of many shall grow cold [lacuna] He who [lacuna] shall have remained unto the end, he shall be saved. And the Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations: and then shall come the consummation.

When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, let him who reads understand: 16. Then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains: and let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything from his house: and let him who is in the field not turn back to take his tunic. But woe to those with child and to those giving suck in those days. But pray that your flight be not in winter, or on the sabbath. For there shall be then great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor shall be. 22. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. 23. Then if anyone shall say to you: Behold here is Christ, or behold there: do not believe it.

24. For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets: and they shall give great signs [lacuna], and wonders [lacuna] so as to lead into error [lacuna] even. [lacuna] Behold I have foretold you. 26. But if they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert, do not [lacuna] go out; behold he is in the inner chambers, do not believe it. 27. For as lightning goes forth from the east, and appears even to the west: so shall also be the coming of the Son of man. [lacuna] Wherever [lacuna] the body shall be, there shall the eagles be gathered together.

29. Immediately [lacuna] after [lacuna] the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars [lacuna] shall fall from heaven, and the powers [lacuna] shall be shaken [lacuna] then shall appear [lacuna] the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then [lacuna] all the tribes of the earth shall mourn: and they shall see the Son of man [lacuna] coming in the clouds of heaven with great power, and majesty. And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect [lacuna] from the four [lacuna] winds, from the uttermost parts of the heavens even to the uttermost thereof. 32. But from the fig tree learn the parable: when now its branch is tender, and the leaves spring forth, you know that summer. Is near, so also when you shall see all these things come to pass, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34. Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass away, until all these things. Be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away. 36. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. Alone. But as in the days of Noe, so shall also be the coming of the Son of man. For as it was in the days of the flood, they were eating, and drinking, and taking wives even unto that day, on which Noe entered. Into the ark, and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away: so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40. Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left. Two [lacuna] grinding: one shall be tak- [lacuna] en, and one shall be left [lacuna] Two on the housetop: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.

Watch [lacuna] therefore, [lacuna] because you know not [lacuna] at what hour your Lord is coming. 43. But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched certainly, and would not have suffered his house. To be broken into. Therefore be you also ready: because you know not at what hour the Son of man is coming. 45. Who then is the faithful servant, and prudent, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food [lacuna] in due time [lacuna]? [lacuna] Blessed [lacuna] is that servant, whom [lacuna] [lacuna] his lord shall find so doing. 47. Amen I say to you, that over all his goods he shall set him. [lacuna] But if that wicked [lacuna] servant shall say in his heart [lacuna]: My lord [lacuna] delays to come [lacuna] and shall begin to strike [lacuna] his fellow servants, and to eat and drink [lacuna]

Shall go forth to meet the bridegroom, and the bride. [lacuna] [lacuna] but [lacuna] you. Watch therefore, because [lacuna] [lacuna] lest there be not suf- [lacuna] ficient for us and [lacuna] for you [lacuna] talents he had received, and worked with them, and gained another. Five. Likewise also he who had received two, gained. In them another two. But he who had received one talent, dug in the earth, and hid the money of his. Lord. But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with. Them. And he who had received five talents came forward, and offered another five talents, saying: Lord, you delivered to me five talents, behold another five which I have gained over and above. 21. His lord said to him: Well done, good servant, and faithful, because over a few things you have been faithful, over many things I will set you, enter into the joy of your lord.

24. But he who had received one talent came forward, and said: Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not. Scatter: and fearing I went away, and hid your talent in the earth: behold you have what is yours. 26. But his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not. Scatter: you ought therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I would have received with interest what is mine. 28. Take therefore from him the talent, and give it to him who has ten talents. For to every one who has, it shall be given: but from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken away. From him. And the wicked servant cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

31. But when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then he shall sit upon the seat of his majesty: 32. And all nations shall be gathered before him, and he separated them from one another, separating [lacuna] the goats from [lacuna] and the sheep [lacuna] but to the left [lacuna] Then the king shall say to those who are on his right hand: Come, blessed of my Fa [lacuna] ther, possess [lacuna] the kingdom [lacuna] prepared [lacuna] for you [lacuna] you gave me to drink: I was a stranger [lacuna] and you [lacuna] took [lacuna] me in: [lacuna] and cloth- [lacuna] ed me [lacuna] I was sick [lacuna] I was in prison [lacuna] and you came to me. 37. Then shall the just answer him [lacuna] say- [lacuna] ing: Lord, when [lacuna] did we see you [lacuna] hungry, [lacuna] and we gave [lacuna] and you gave me not to drink: 43.

I was a stranger, and you did not take me in: naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me. 44. Then shall they also answer themselves, saying: Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or naked, or a stranger, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you? 45. Then shall he answer them saying: Amen I say to you: As long as you did not do it to one of these least ones, neither did you. Do it to me. And these shall go into eternal fire, but the just into eternal life. A stranger, and we received you: or naked and we clothed you: 39. Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you? 40. And answering he says to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it [lacuna] to one of these my brethren [lacuna] the least, you did it to me.

41. Then he says to those who are on the left: Depart from me, you cursed, into eternal fire which my Father has prepared for the devil, and his angels. 42. For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty,

And it came to pass: after Jesus had finished sermon. [lacuna] all these things, he said to his disciples: You know th[lacuna] after two days the Passover will take place, and the Son of man will be handed over to be crucified. 3. Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the chief priest who was called 4. Caiaphas: and they took counsel to seize Jesus by treachery, and to kill him. 5. But they said: Not on the feast day, lest perhaps a tumult should arise among the people. 6. Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper. A woman came to him having an alabaster flask of precious ointment, she poured it upon his head as he reclined. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying: To what purpose is this waste of ointment? For this could have been sold for a price, and given to the poor.

Which [lacuna] he knew, [lacuna] he said to them: Why do you trouble the woman? She has wrought a good work. Upon me. For you always have the poor with you: but me you will not[lacuna]always have[lacuna]. For she:. This ointment upon my body, she did it for my burial. 13. Amen I say to you, wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she has done shall be told in memory of her. 14. Then one of the twelve disciples went away, who was call[lacuna] Judas Iscariot, to the chi[lacuna] priests sa[lacuna] and said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they appointed for him. Staters. And from that time he sought an opportunity to betray him. 17. Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where do you wish us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?

18. But Jesus said to them: Go into the city, to a certain man, and say to him: The Master says: My time is near, I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jes[lacuna] had commanded the[lacuna] and they prepared the Passover. 20. And when even[lacuna] was come, he reclined at table with his twelve disciples. And as they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you will betray me. 22. And being greatly saddened, they began each one to say: Is it I. Lord? And Jesus answering said to them, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, he it is that shall. Betray me. The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him. But woe to that man, through whom[lacuna] the Son of [lacuna] is betr[lacuna] it were[lacuna] num[lacuna] if he had[lacuna] been born[lacuna] that man[lacuna]. Judas answering, who was about to betray him, said: Is it I, Rabbi?

Jesus said to him: You have said it. 26. Now as they were supping, Jesus took bread, and having blessed it, [lacuna] broke it, and [lacuna] to his disciples, and said: T[lacuna] and [lacuna] this is [lacuna] body [lacuna] And [lacuna] the cu[lacuna] hav[lacuna] bles[lacuna] giv[lacuna] thanks [lacuna] and gave it to them, saying: 28. This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you: I will not drink of th[lacuna] ture[lacuna] until[lacuna] that day, when I shall drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father. And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. 31. Then Jesus said to them: All of you will be scandalized in me, this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, [lacuna] and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. 32. But[lacuna] before I rise again, I will go before you into Galilee, there you shall see me.

33. But Peter answering him, said: If all shall be scandalized in you, I will never be scandalized. But Jesus said to Peter: Amen I say to you, that this night before the cock crows, you will deny me three times. 35. Peter said to him: [lacuna] even if I must die with you, I will not deny you. Likewise also [lacuna] all the disciples said. 36. Then Jesus came with them to a place, which is called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples: Sit here, while I go yonder to pray. 37. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38. Then Jesus said to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay here, and watch with me: 39. And going forward a little, having placed his knees, he fell upon his face praying, and saying: Father, all things are possible to you, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. But yet not as I will, but as you will.

40. And he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter: Could you not watch one hour with. Me? Watch, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying: Father, this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, your will be done. 43. And when he came again, he found them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy with sleep. 44. And leaving them, he went away, and pray[lacuna] the same words again. [lacuna] then he came to the disciples [lacuna] them, and said [lacuna] them: Sleep [lacuna] now, and take [lacuna] your rest: behold [lacuna] the hour is at hand, and the Son [lacuna] of man will be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go hence: behold, he is at hand who will betray me.

47. And while he was yet speaking, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude, wi. [lacuna] swords, and. [lacuna] staves. [lacuna] from the chi. [lacuna] priests. [lacuna] tum. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] him. [lacuna] a sign, saying: Whomsoever. [lacuna] I shall kiss. [lacuna] truly, he it is, hold him fast. 49. And immediately he came up to Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him. 50. Jesus said to him: For what purpose have you [lacuna] come, friend? [lacuna] then they laid [lacuna] hands [lacuna] upon Jesus, and [lacuna] took him. [lacuna] behold [lacuna] one of these [lacuna] him [lacuna] [lacuna] his sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear. 52. Then Jesus said to him: Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword shall perish by the sword. [lacuna] Or do you not[lacuna] think it possible[lacuna] now to pray[lacuna] to my Father[lacuna] and he will[lacuna] provide for me more than twelve legions of angels?

How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so? In that hour Jesus said to the crowd: As against a robber you have come to me with swords and clubs to seize me: daily I sat among you in the temple teaching[lacuna] and you did not [lacuna] seize me. 56. But all this[lacuna] has come to pass, that the Scriptures of the P[lacuna] ophets might be fulfilled. Then all his disciples, leaving him, fled. And they who had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders had assembled. 58. But Peter followed him afar off, to the courtyard of the chi[lacuna] pri[lacuna] And entering inside, he sat with the minister[lacuna] to see the outcome. Of the matter. But the chief priest, and the whole council, sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and they found none, though many false witnesses had come forward, they found no outcome of the matter.

Afterward however two [lacuna] witnesses came, and said: This man said: I am able to destroy the temple of God, and in three days to build it up. 62. And the chief priest rising up, said to him: Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him: I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said: You have said it: nevertheless I say to you, henceforth you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with [lacuna] clouds[lacuna] [lacuna] then[lacuna]the chief pri[lacuna]. Phemy, what do you think? And they all answered and said: He is guilty of death. 67. Then they spat in his face, and struck him with their fists. Saying: Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is it that struck you[lacuna]? Peter [lacuna] sitting[lacuna].

But he denied before them all, saying: I do not know what you say, nor do I know him. And going out to the gate, another maidservant saw him, and said to those who were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth[lacuna]. And they said to Peter: Truly you also are one of them: for even your speech. Is like theirs. Then he began to curse and to swear that he did not know the man[lacuna] And immediately the cock crowed. And [lacuna] corda[lacuna]Peter[lacuna]word[lacuna]which[lacuna]

[lacuna] And when morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death. 2. And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. Di. Then Judas, who had betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned[lacuna]; moved by repentance, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying: 4. To the elders, saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. And they said: What is that to us? See to it yourself. And having thrown down the pieces of silver in the temple, he withdrew: and went away, and hanged himself with a noose. 6. But the chief priests, having taken the money, said: It is not lawful to put it into the treasury: because it is the price of blood. And having taken counsel among themselves, they bought the potter's field, for the burial of strangers. Therefore that field was called Acheldemac, that is, the field of blood, unto this day.

9. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by the Prophet, saying: And they took thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom they priced from the children of Israel: and they gave them for the potter's field, for the burial of strangers. 11. But Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? But Jesus said: You say it. And when he was accused by the chief priests, and the elders, he answered nothing. Then Pilate said to him: Do you not hear how many testimonies they bring against you? 14. And he answered him not a single word, so that the governor marveled greatly. 15. Now on the feast day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whomsoever they wished. Now they had a notorious prisoner, who was called Barabbas. 17. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said: Whom do you wish that I release to you of the two: Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called 18. Christ?

For he knew that out of envy they had delivered. Him. And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying: Have nothing to do with that just man. For I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20. But the chief priests, and the elders persuaded the people to ask for Barabbas, and to destroy Jesus. 21. But the governor answering, said to them: Which of the two do you wish that I release to you?

And they said: Barabbas. 22. Pilate saith to them: What then shall we do with Jesus, who is called 23. Christ? They all say: Let him be crucified. The governor saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Let him be crucified. And Pilate seeing that he profited nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water, washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this man: see ye to it. 25. And all the people answering, said: His blood be upon us, and [lacuna] upon [lacuna] our children. 26. Then he released to them Barabbas: but Jesus, having been scourged, he delivered to them that they might crucify him. 27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and gathered together unto him the whole. Cohort: and they put on him a purple tunic, and put a scarlet cloak about him;. And they put a crown of thorns upon his head, and a reed in his right hand.

And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews. 30. And they spat in his face, and took the reed, and struck And they said: Barabbas. Christ? 30. And they spat in his face, and took the reed, and struck his head. 31. And after they had mocked him, they took off him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. 32. And going out they found a Cyrenean man coming to meet them, by name Simon: him they compelled to take up his cross. 33. And they came to the place which is called Golgothaha, which is the place of Calvary. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drin[lacuna]. And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments among themselves, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: They divided my garments among themselves. And upon my vesture they cast lots. 36. And sitting they kept. Watch over him.

And they set over his head his cause written: This is the king of the Jews. 38. Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right, and the other on the left. 39. And they that passed by blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and saying: Vah, thou that destroyedst the temple of God, and in three days didst rebuild it: save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down. From the cross. In like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes, and the Pharisees. Said: He saved others, himself he cannot save: if he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him: 43. If he trusteth in God, let him now deliver him, if he will have him: for he said: Because I am the Son of God. 44. And the same thing also the thieves, who were crucified with him, reproached him with.

45. And after he was crucified, from the sixth hour darkness was made over the whole land until the ninth hour. 46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: Heli, Heli, lema zabthani? That is: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47. And some of them that stood there, hearing, said: This man calleth. Elias. And immediately one of them running, took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49. But the rest said: Let be, let us see if Elias cometh, and delivereth him. 50. And Jesus again crying out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. And. Behold the veil of the temple was rent in two parts from the top even to the bottom, and there was a great earthquake, and the rocks were split, and. The tombs were opened: and many [lacuna] bodies of the saints that had slept [lacuna], rose [lacuna] up.

And [lacuna] going out of the [lacuna] tombs [lacuna] after his resurrection [lacuna] they came [lacuna] into the holy [lacuna] city, and [lacuna] appeared to many [lacuna] seeing the earthquake and those things that were done [lacuna] they feared [lacuna] saying: V.- re this was the Son of God. [lacuna] there were there many women afar off, beholding, who had followed Jesus from Cana of Galilee, ministering to him: among [lacuna] whom was [lacuna] Mary Mag- [lacuna] dalene, and [lacuna] Mary of Jac[lacuna] [lacuna] and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. [lacuna] when it was evening, there came [lacuna] a certain rich man from Arimathea, by name [lacuna] who was a disciple [lacuna] of Jesus. He went [lacuna] to Pilate [lacuna] and asked [lacuna] for the body [lacuna] of Jesus. Then Pilatus commanded the body to be given up. 59. And when Jose[lacuna] had received the body of Jesus, he wrapped [lacuna] it in a clean shroud.

60. And laid him [lacuna] in a tomb [lacuna] [lacuna] his own new [lacuna] [lacuna] which he had hewn [lacuna] [lacuna] at the door of the tomb, and departed. And there was there Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against [lacuna] the [lacuna] sepulchre [lacuna] And on the next day, which [lacuna] is after the preparation [lacuna] the chief [lacuna] priests [lacuna] and the Pharisees [lacuna] gathered together [lacuna] to Pilate [lacuna] saying: [lacuna] Sir, we have remembered [lacuna] that that deceiver said [lacuna] [lacuna] after three days [lacuna] I will rise again. 64. Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come, and steal him away, and say to the people: He is risen from the dead. And the last error shall be worse than the first. 65. Pilate saith to them: You have a guard, go, guard it as 66. You know [lacuna] and they going [lacuna] made [lacuna] the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone, with the guards.

And in the evening of the sabbath, which dawned toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. 2. And behold there was made a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven: and coming near rolled back the stone, and sat upon it: 3. And his countenance was as lightning: and his garments white as snow. And for fear of him the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. 5. And the angel answering said to the women: Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, who was crucified: he is not here: for he is risen, as he said: Come, and see the place, where the Lord was laid. 7. And go tell his disciples that he is risen: and he goeth before you into Galilee: there ye shall see him. Behold I have told you. 8. And they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.

9. And behold Jesus [lacuna] met them, saying: Hail. But they [lacuna] came [lacuna] and took hold [lacuna] of his feet [lacuna] and adored him. 10. Then Jesus saith to them: Fear not: go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me. And when they were gone, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests, and the scribes all things that had been done. 12. And being assembled the chief priests with the ancients, taking counsel, they gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, saying: Say that his disciples came by night, and stole him away, while you were sleeping. 14. And if this shall be heard by the Governor, we will persuade him, and make you secure. 15. And they receiving the money, did as they were instructed. And this word was spread abroad among the Jews, even unto this day. And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17. And when they saw him they adored: but some doubted. 18. And Jesus coming spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in. Earth. Going therefore teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the. Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world. Amen.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. This was in the beginning. With God. All things were made through him: and without him nothing was made. What was made 4. Is, in him life is, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was 7. John. He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all might believe through. Him. He was not the light, but that he might bear witness of the light. 9. There was the true light, which illuminates every man coming into this world [lacuna] and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become sons of God, to those who believe in his name: 13.

Who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Born. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15. John bears witness of him, and cries out, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that cometh after me is made before me: because he was before me. 16. Because of his fullness, we all have received grace for. Grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18. God no man hath seen at any time: save the only-begotten Son alone, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 19. And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him: 20. Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not: but confessed: That I am not the Christ.

21. And they asked him again: What then? Art thou Elias? He said: I am not. What then? Art thou a Prophet? And he answered: No. 22. And they said to him: Say then: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What sayest thou of thyself. Self? He answered: I am the voice of one crying in the desert: Make straight the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet said. 24. And they who had been sent were of the Pharisees. The disciples and Levites said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor a Prophet. 26. John answered them, saying: I baptize you in water unto repentance: but there standeth among you one whom ye know not. 27. He that cometh after me is made before me: whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to loose. 28. Now these things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29. The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. 30. This is he of whom I said: After me cometh a man, who is made before me: because he was before me. 31. And I knew him not, but that he might be made manifest in Israel, therefore came I baptizing in water. 32. And John bore witness, saying: That I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him. 33. And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me: Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is he who baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. 34. And I saw: and I bore witness that this is the elect Son of God. 35. The next day again John was standing, and two of his disciples.

36. And looking upon Jesus walking, he said: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. 37. And two of his disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. 38. But Jesus turned, and seeing them following him, said to them: What seek ye? And they said to him: Rabbi, (which is interpreted, Master) where abidest thou? 39. He saith to them: Come, and see. They came therefore, and saw where he dwelt, and they abode with him that day: and the hour was about the tenth. 40. Now Andrew the brother of Simon Peter was one of the two who had heard from John, and had followed him. 41. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah, (which is interpreted, Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

43. The next day he would go forth into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him: Follow me. 44. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the Prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph from Nazareth. 46. Nathanael said to him: From Nazareth can any good thing be? Philip said to him: Come, and see. 47. But Jesus, seeing Nathanael coming to him, said of Nathanael: Behold truly an Israelite, in whom there is no 48. Guile [lacuna] and Nathanael said to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw. Thee. Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

50. Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said to thee: That I saw thee when thou wast under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these thou shalt see. Shalt see. And he said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, ye shall see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending upon the Son

Of man. And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3. And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was spent. Then the mother said to Jesus: They have no wine. 4. Jesus said to her: What is that to me and to thee, woman? Mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother said to the servants: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do it. 6. Now there were there six stone water-pots according to the purification of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus said to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. Jesus said to them: Draw out now, and carry to the ruler of the feast. And they drew out, and car9. Ried it.

And when the ruler of the feast had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the servants knew who had drawn the water, and seeing what had been done, they marvelled: the ruler of the feast called the bridegroom, and said to him: Every man setteth on first the good wine: and when men have drunk freely, that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11. This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee: and he manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. 12. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren: and they abode there not many days. 13. And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusa14. Lem: and he found in the temple those selling sheep, and oxen, and doves, and the money-changers sit15. Ting.

And he made as it were a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, the sheep, and the oxen, and poured out the money of the money-changers, and over16. Turned their tables. And to those selling doves, he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise. 17. Then his disciples remembered that it is written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. 18. The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou show us, because thou doest these things? 19. Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up a20. Gain. The Jews therefore said: In forty-six years was this temple built, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 21. But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23. Now when Jesus was at Jerusalem at the Passover on the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing the signs which. He did. But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men. And because he had no need that any should bear testimony of man: for he himself knew what was in man.

Ne. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come from God as a Teacher, for no one can do these signs that thou doest, unless God be with him. 3. Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless one be born again. [lacuna] he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus said to him: [lacuna] How can a man be born again when he is old? Can a man, as we, enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again? 5. Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless one be born of water and of the Holy Spirit, he cannot en[lacuna]ter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of flesh, is fle[lacuna]sh, because it is born of flesh: and that which is born of spirit, is spirit, because God is spirit, and is born of God. 7. Marvel not that I said to thee; ye must be born again. The Spirit breatheth where he will: and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh or whither he goeth: so is every one who is born again of water. And the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these. Things be done? Jesus answered and said: And thou art a teacher in Israel, and knowest not these things? 11. Amen, amen I say to thee, that what we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony. Ye receive not. If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not: how, if I shall tell you heavenly things, will ye believe?

How if I shall say: No one hath ascended into heaven, save he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, who is in. The heavens. For even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert; so must the Son. Of man be lifted up: that every one who believeth in him may have eternal life. For God so loved this world, that he gave his only Son: that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18. Therefore he who believeth in him is not judged: but he who believeth not is already judged: because he hath not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: that light came into this world, and men loved darkness rather than light: for their works were evil.

20. Every one who doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works be reproved: 21. But he who doeth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God. After these things Jesus went forth, and his disciples into the land of Judaea: and there he abode with them and baptized. 23. Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim: because there was much water there, and they came and were baptized. 24. For John had not yet been cast into prison. 25. There arose therefore a question between the Jews and the disciples of John concerning Purif[lacuna]. 26. And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all come to him. 27. John answered and said: A man cannot receive anything unless it be given him from heaven.

Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said [lacuna] vo[lacuna] I am not the Christ: but that I am sent before him. He who hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore my joy is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. 31. He who cometh from above is above all. But he who is upon the ear[lacuna]th is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth. He who cometh from heaven, what he hath seen and what he hath heard he testifieth, and his testimony no 33. One receiveth. He who hath received his testimony hath sealed that God is true. 34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure. 35. The Father loveth the Son: [lacuna] all things he hath given into his. Hand.

He who believeth in the Son hath eternal life: but he who is disobedient to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

When therefore Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than. John, (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his dis- 3[lacuna]pu[lacuna] his), he left the land of Judaea and went again into Galilee. 4. Now he had to pass through Samaria. He came therefore to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the field which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6. Now there was there Jacob's well. Jesus therefore, wearied from the journey, sat upon the well. It was about the sixth hour. And a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her: Give me. To drink. (For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman therefore said to him: Thou, being a Jew, how dost thou ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?

10. Jesus answered and said to her: If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee: Give me to drink: thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11. The woman said to him: Lord, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water? 12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and himself drank of it, and his sons, and his cattle? 13. Jesus answered and said to her[lacuna]: Every one who drinketh of this wat[lacuna] shall thirst[lacuna] but whoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him shall not thirst [lacuna] etern[lacuna]lly: but the wat[lacuna] that I shall give [lacuna] him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life. [lacuna] the woman said to him: Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

He said to her: Go[lacuna] call thy husband [lacuna] and come. [lacuna] the woman answered and said to him: I have no[lacuna] husband. [lacuna] thou hast rightly said[lacuna] that a husband[lacuna] thou hast not: 18. [lacuna] for five[lacuna] husbands thou hast had[lacuna] and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this thou hast said truly. 19. The[lacuna] woman said: Lo[lacuna]rd, I see[lacuna] that. Thou art a Prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that[lacuna] in Hiero[lacuna]solyma it is[lacuna] [lacuna] neces[lacuna]sary[lacuna]. 21. He said to her[lacuna] [lacuna] beli[lacuna]eve, for the hour cometh[lacuna] when[lacuna] [lacuna] neither on this mo[lacuna]untain nor in Jerusalem shall ye worship the Father. 22. Ye worship what[lacuna] ye know not: we wor[lacuna]ship what[lacuna] we know, because salvation is of the Jews.

23. But the hour cometh, and now is, [lacuna] when the true wor[lacuna]shippers shall wor[lacuna]ship the Father [lacuna] in spirit[lacuna]. The Fa[lacuna]ther seek[lacuna]eth those who wor[lacuna]ship him. In spirit. God is spirit: and they who worship him must worship in spirit and in trut[lacuna] [lacuna] The wo[lacuna]man said to him: I know that the Messias is coming (who is called Christ.) When he shall come, he himself will announce all things to us. Jesus said to her: I am he, who speak with thee. 27. And there[lacuna]upon[lacuna] his disciples came: and they marvelled that he[lacuna] was speaking with a woman. Yet no one said to him: What seekest thou, or why speakest thou with her? 28. The woman therefore left her waterpot and went into the city, and said to the man: 29.

Come, see a man who told me all things that[lacuna] I have done: can[lacuna] this be the Christ? [lacuna] They went out of the city and came [lacuna] while. Mean[lacuna]while the dis[lacuna]ciples were asking him, saying: Master, eat. He said to them: I have food to eat which ye know not. 33. But his disciples said to one another: Hath anyone brought him something to eat? Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him who sent me, to accomplish his work. 35. Do ye not say that there are yet four months and the harvest cometh? Behold I say to you[lacuna]: Lift up your eyes and see the re[lacuna]gions, for they are white for the harvest. He who reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto eternal life: that both he who soweth and he who reapeth may rejoice together. 37. For in this is the word of truth: that one is he who soweth and an[lacuna]other. He who reapeth.

I sent you to reap that on which ye did not labour: others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labour. 39. Now from that city many of the Samaritans believed, on account of the word of the wom[lacuna]an bearing testi[lacuna]mony: that[lacuna] he told[lacuna] me[lacuna] all things[lacuna] that[lacuna] I did[lacuna]. 40. When[lacuna] therefore the Samar[lacuna]itans came to him, they begged[lacuna] him[lacuna] and he remained there[lacuna]. [lacuna] they believed through his word. 42. And they said to the woman: Because not on account of thy speech do we believe: for we our[lacuna]selves have heard him, and we know[lacuna] that this is truly the Saviour of the wor[lacuna]ld. 43. After two[lacuna] days 44. [lacuna] into Galilee. For Jesus himself[lacuna] testified[lacuna] that a Prophet in his own country hath no honour. 45. When therefore he came[lacuna] into Galilee[lacuna] they received him[lacuna].

For the Galilaeans all[lacuna] had seen all the things he did in Jerusalem on the feast day: for they also had come to the feast. 46. He came therefore again to C[lacuna]ana of Galilee, where he had made water wine. And there was a certain Basiliscus, whose son was sick at Capernaum. This man when he[lacuna] had heard that Jesus was coming from Judaea into Galilee[lacuna] came to him and begged[lacuna] him that he would come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless ye see signs and wonders[lacuna] ye will not[lacuna] believe. 49. The Kin[lacuna]'s officer said to him: Lord, come down[lacuna] [lacuna] Jesus said[lacuna]: Go[lacuna] thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him: 51. And he went. And already[lacuna] as he was going down, his servants met[lacuna] him and announced to him [lacuna] saying that thy son liveth.

52. He asked[lacuna] them at what hour[lacuna] he had grown better. And they said: Yesterday at the seventh hour[lacuna] the fever left him. 53. The father therefore knew that it was at that hour that Jesus said: Thy son liveth: and he believed, himself and his whole household. 54. This again was the second sign that Jesus did, coming from Judaea into Galilee.

After these things there was [lacuna] es. [lacuna] stus Jud. [lacuna] um, and [lacuna] it Jesus to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem in the lower part a pool of water, which is called in Hebrew Belzatha, having five porticoes. 3. In these lay multitudes of the infirm, of the blind, of the lame, of the withered, of paralytics watching for the movement of the water. But an angel of the Lord descended [lacuna] at: and moved the water. And whoever first descended into the pool was made whole of whatever infirmity he was held by. 5. Now there was there a man having xxxviii years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw him lying, knowing that he had already had much time, he said to him: Do you wish to be made whole? The inf[lacuna]rm man answered him: Lord, I have no man, that when[lacuna] the water has been moved, he might put me into the pool: for while[lacuna] I am coming, another descends before me.

8. Jesus said to him: Rise, and take up your pallet. And walk[lacuna] immediately the man was made whole: and he arose, and took up his pallet, and walked. Now it was[lacuna] but[lacuna] tum in[lacuna]. The[lacuna] Jews said to him who had been cured: It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your pallet. [lacuna] [lacuna] he said to them: He who made me whole, he said to me: Take up your pallet, and walk. They asked[lacuna] him: [lacuna] who is that man, who said to you: Take up your pallet. And walk? But he who had been cur[lacuna] ed [lacuna] - [lacuna] quis[lacuna] eni[lacuna] had withdrawn from the crowd gathered in that place. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold you are made whole: now sin no more, lest something worse befall you. 15. The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus, who made me. Whole.

For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus[lacuna] answered them: My Father works until now, and I work. For this reason the Jews sought all the more to kill him: because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also because he called his own Father God, making himself equal to God. Jesus answering, said to them: 19. Amen, amen I say to you: the Son can do nothing of himself, unless he sees the Father [lacuna] doing it: for whatever he does, these things also the Son does likewise. The Father loves the Son, and all things, os [lacuna] end [lacuna] to him, which he himself does: and greater works than these he will show [lacuna] him, that you may marvel. For just as the Father raises the dead, and gives life: so also the Son gives life to whom he will: For [lacuna] the Father [lacuna] judges [lacuna] than [lacuna] all judgment.

He has given to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor [lacuna] the Father: he who does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father, who sent him[lacuna]. From death into life. 25. Amen I say to you, that the hour comes, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and he who hears shall live. 26. For just as [lacuna] ther has [lacuna] in himself: [lacuna] so also the Son[lacuna] life [lacuna] [lacuna] the hour comes, when all who are in the tombs shall hear the voice. Of him: and they shall come forth who have done good, unto the resurrection of life[lacuna] who have done evil[lacuna] unto the [lacuna] surrection[lacuna] of judgment. 30. No[lacuna] [lacuna] my own, but his who sent me. 31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32. There is another, who bears witness of [lacuna]: and you know [lacuna] timony I receive: but I say these things that you may be saved.

35. He was a lamp burning, and shining. But you were willing for a time to rejoice in. His light. But I have testimony greater than John. For the works, which the Father has given me to accomplish, those very works bear witness, that the Father has sent me: 37. And because the Father has sent me, he bears witness of me: and neither his voice have you ever heard, nor his form. Have you seen, and his word you do not have abiding in you: because him whom he sent, you do not believe. 39. Search the Scriptures, in which you think that in them you have eternal life: these are they, which bear witness of me: in which you suppose you have life: these are they which testify of me: and not even so do you wish to come to me that you may have life. Glory from men I do not receive. But I have known you, that the love of God you do not have in you.

43. I have come in the name of my Father, and you have not received me: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. 44. How can you believe, receiving glory from one another: and the glory from the only one you do not seek? 45. Do not think that I am going to accuse you before the Father: there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom. You hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe me also: for of me he wrote. But since you do not believe his commandments, how will you believe my words?

After these things Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee of Tiberias: 2. But a great multitude followed him, because they saw the signs, which he did upon the infirm. 3. Jesus therefore went up into the mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. 4. Now the Passover, the solemn feast day of the Jews, was near. 5. Jesus therefore lifted up his eyes, and saw that great multitudes were coming to him: he said to Philip: Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6. Now he said this testing him: for he himself knew what he was about to do. Philip answered him: Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that[lacuna]. Each may receive. One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him: 9. There is a boy here, who has five barley loaves, and two fish: but what are these among so many? 10. Jesus said: Make the men recline. Now there was much grass in that place. The men therefore reclined, about five thousand.

11. Jesus took the bread[lacuna]: and gave thanks, and distributed to those reclining: likewise also of the fish as much as they wished. 12. When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather the fragments that remain, lest any be lost. And they gathered and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves[lacuna] which remained over to those who had eaten. 14. Those men therefore, seeing the signs which he did, were saying: This is truly the pr[lacuna] phet, who is to come into this world. [lacuna] therefore when he knew[lacuna] that they were about[lacuna] to come[lacuna] and seize[lacuna] him, to make[lacuna] him king for themselves[lacuna] he fled[lacuna] again alone by himself. 16. And when evening had come, his disciples went down to the sea. And they got into a boat, and were going across the sea to Capernaum: [lacuna] and darkness had already fallen: and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18. With a great wind blowing, it was now rising. [lacuna] when they had row[lacuna]ed fif[lacuna]teen or twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing near to the boat, they were afraid. And he himself said to them: I am he, fear not. They wished therefore to receive him into the boat: and the boat was immediately at the land, to 22. Which they were going. On the next day the crowds, which were standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other small boat there but one, into which the disciples of Jesus had gotten, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the small boat, but that his disciples alone had gone away: 23. But other small boats had come from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread. 24. When therefore [lacuna] the crowds [lacuna] that [lacuna] not [lacuna] nor his dis[lacuna]ciples, they got straightway into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking. Jesus.

And they found him on the other side of the sea, and said to him: Rabbi, when did you come here? Jesus answered them, saying: Amen, amen I say to you: you seek me not because you saw signs, and wonders, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27. Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto eternal life, which the Son of man has given you. For him has God the Father sealed. 28. They said therefore to him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 29. Jesus answered them and said: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent. 30. They said therefore to him: What sign then do you do, that we may see and believe you? What do you work? Our fathers ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32. Jesus answering said to them: Amen, amen I say to you: Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to this world. They said therefore to him: Lord, give us always this bread. 35. Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he who comes to me shall not hunger: and he who believes shall never thirst. 36. But I said to you, that you both see and do not believe. All that the Father gives me comes to me: and he who comes to me I will not cast out: because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. The Father. And this is the will of him who sent, of the Father: that of all that he has given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up on the last day.

40. For this is the will of my Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 41. The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he had said: I am the bread, which came down from heaven, and they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say: I came down from heaven? 43. Jesus answered and said to them: Do not murmur among yourselves: no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him: and I will raise him up on the last. Day. For it is written in the Pr[lacuna]ophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Everyone who has heard from the Father and has learned comes to me. 46. Not that anyone has seen the Father: except he who is from God, this one has seen. God. Amen, amen I say to you: He who believes in me has eternal life.

48. I am the bread. Of life. Your fathers ate Pa[lacuna] the manna in the desert, and they. Died. But this is the bread which comes down from heaven: so that if anyone eats of it, he shall not die. 51. I am the bread of life, which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of my bread, he shall live forever: the bread which I will give is my body for the life of this world. [lacuna] The Jews therefore were contending with one another, saying: How can this man give us his body to [lacuna] eat? 54. And Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you: Unless you receive the body of the Son of man as the bread of life, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in your. Selves. He who [lacuna] eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life: and I will raise him up on the last day. 56. For my flesh is truly food: and my blood is truly drink as well.

57. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. If a man receives the body of the Son of man as the bread of life, he shall have life in it. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father: so he who eats me [lacuna] shall likewise live because of 59. Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate the manna and died. They who eat this bread shall live [lacuna] forever. 60. These things he said teaching in the synagogue, in Capha[lacuna]rnaum on the sabbath. Many therefore of his disciples who heard [lacuna], said: This is a hard say[lacuna]ing, and who can hear him? 62. Jesus knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring about this: he said to them: Does this scandalize you? 63. What then if you should see the Son of man ascending where he was before?

64. It is the Spirit that gives life; for the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life. [lacuna] But there are some among you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe, and who it was that would betray. Him. And he said: For this reason I said to you, no one can come to me unless it has been given to him by the Father. 67. From this time many of his disciples went back: and walked no more with him. 68. Jesus said to the twelve: Do you also wish to go away? 69. Simon Peter answered: Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. And we have believed and have known that you are the Christ the Son of God. 71. Jesus answered and said to them: Did I not choose you twelve: and one of you is a devil?

Now he spoke of Judas Simon Iscariot: for this man was about to betray him, being one of the twelve.

After these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he had not the power of walking in Judaea: because the Jews were seeking to kill him. Now there was near the fes- [lacuna] of the Jews, the Scenopegia. 3. His brothers therefore said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works, which thou doest. 4. For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in the open: if thou doest these things, manifest thyself to this world. 5. For then his brothers did not believe in him. 6. Jesus therefore said to them: My time has not yet come: but your time is always. Ready. This world cannot hate you: but me it hates: because I give testimony of it that its works are evil. Go ye up to the feast day, I will not go up to this feast day: because my time is not yet fulfilled. 9. Saying these things to them, he himself remained 10. In Judaea.

And after his brothers had gone up to the feast day, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but in secret. The Jews therefore were seeking him on the feast day, and were saying: Where. He? And there was murmuring about him in the crowd. Some were saying: He is good. And others were saying: No, but he seduces the people. 13. Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Ju[lacuna]. And when the middle day of the feast was already come, Jesus went up into the temple, and was teach[lacuna]. The Jews therefore marvelled, saying: How does this man know letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them, saying: My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. 17. If any man will do his will [lacuna] ce[lacuna] & ex[lacuna]rina, whether it be of God, or whether I speak. Of myself.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him who sent him, he is true, and there is no iniquity in. Him. Did not Moses give you the law: and none of you keepeth the law? 20. Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said: Thou hast a devil [lacuna] ab[lacuna]: who seek[lacuna]eth to kill thee? 21. Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done, and you all. Marvel: Therefore Moses gave you circumcision: (not that it is of Moses, but of your fathers) and on the sabbath you circumcise a man. 23. If therefore a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry with me because I made a whole [lacuna] man whole. On the sabbath? Judge not according to the appearance of man, but judge just judgment. 25. Some therefore of the people of Jerusalem were saying: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? Re?

Behold he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the Chief Priests truly known that this. The Christ? But [lacuna] we know whence he is: but when Christ shall come, no man will know whence he. Jesus therefore cried out teaching in the temple, saying: Both you know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he is true who sent me, whom you know not. I know him: because I am from him, and he sent me. 30. They sought therefore to [lacuna] seize him: and no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31. But of the crowd many believed in him, and were saying: When Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man doeth? The Priests therefore heard, and the Pharisees, the crowds murmuring about him: and the Pharisees and Chief Priests sent [lacuna] ministers that they might seize him. Jesus therefore said: Yet a little while I am with you: and I go to him who.

Sent me. You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, you cannot come. 35. The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither is this man about to go, that we shall not find him? Is he about to go into the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach. The Greeks? What is this word that he said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, you cannot come? 37. Now on the last great day of the feast of the Jews Jesus stood, and cried out: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drin[lacuna]. He that believeth in me, as the Scripture hath said, rivers of water shall flow[lacuna] from his belly[lacuna] of living water. 39. Now this he said of the Spirit, which they that believe in him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40. Some therefore of the crowd who had heard these words were saying: He is truly a Prof[lacuna] D[lacuna] were saying: This is the Christ. But some were saying: Doth Christ come from Galilee[lacuna] [lacuna]? Doth not the Scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the village, where David was? 43. There was therefore a dissension in the crowd because of him. And some of them wished to seize him: [lacuna] no one[lacuna] laid hands on him[lacuna]. The ministers therefore came to the Chief Priests, and the Pharisees. To whom they[lacuna] said: Why have you not brought him? 46. The ministers answered, saying: Never[lacuna] [lacuna] man spoke thus, as this man also speaketh. 47. The Pharisees answered them: [lacuna] Have [lacuna] [lacuna] any of the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, which knoweth not the law, are accursed. 50. Nicodemus saith to them, he who had come to him before, being one.

Of them: Doth our law[lacuna] judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what[lacuna]. Thou art? Scrutinize the Scriptures, and see, that a Prophet doth not arise from Galilee.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of this world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13. The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself: and thy testimony[lacuna] is not. Jesus answered and said to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: because I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I came, and whither I go. 15. You judge according to the flesh: I judge no 16. One: but even if I judge, my judgment 3 is true, because I am not alone: but I, and the Father who sent me. 17. But in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true. 18. I am he that beareth witness of myself: and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me. 19. They therefore said to him: Where is thy Father?

Jesus answered them: Neither do you know me, nor my Father: if you knew me, you would know my Father also. 20. These words he spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no one seized him, because his hour was not yet come. 21. Jesus therefore said to them again: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come. 22. The Jews therefore were say[lacuna] ing: Will he kill himself? Because he saith: Where I go, you cannot come. 23. And Jesus said to them: You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. 24. I said to you that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins. 25. They therefore said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to him: The beginning, which I also speak to you.

26. I have many things to speak of you, and to judge: but he who sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him, these I speak in this. World. And they understood not that he spoke to them of 28. God the Father. Jesus therefore said: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, so I speak: 29. And he who sent me is with me, he hath not left me alone: because I do always the things that please him. 30. As he spoke these things, many believed in. Him. Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed: If you abide in my word, you shall be truly my disciples: 32. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall. Make you free. They answered him, that we are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been servants to any man: how sayest thou: You shall be free?

34. Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say to you, that every one who committeth sin is the servant. Of sin. Now the servant abideth not in the house of the Lord for ever: but the Son abideth for ever. If the Son shall make you free, you shall be truly free. 37. I know that you are the seed of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place. In you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father; and you likewise, do that which you have seen with your father. They answered: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this Abraham. Did not do, which you do, the works of your father. They said to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, God.

42. Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, you would love me. For I proceeded from God, and came: neither did I come of myself, but he. Sent me. Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. 44. You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you wi[lacuna] [lacuna] to do. He[lacuna] [lacuna] was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth: because there is no truth in him: when he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, because he is a liar, and so is his father. Also. I because I speak the truth, you believe me not. 46. Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? Wh[lacuna] is of God[lacuna] heareth the words of God. Therefore you believe not, because you are not of God. 48. The Jews answered and said: Do we not say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49. Jesus answered: I have not a devil, but I honour my Father: and you dishonour me. But I seek not[lacuna] [lacuna] my own glory: there is one who seeketh, and judgeth. 51. Amen, amen I say to you: if any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. 52. The Jews therefore said to him: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest: If any man hear and keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. 53. Art thou greater than Abraham, because he is dead? And the Prophets also are dead? Whom dost thou make thyself? 54. Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your. God, and you have not known him: but I know him: And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.

Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57. The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen. Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was. The Jews therefore took up stones to [lacuna] cast at him: Jesus therefore hid himself, and went out of the temple.

And passing by he saw a man blind from his birth: and. His disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3. Jesus answered them: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God might be made manifest in. Him. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can. Work. While I am in this world, I am the light of this world. 6. Having said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes. Of him, and said: Go to the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted Sent.) He went, and washed, and came back seeing. 8. The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before, that he was blind and a beggar, said: Is not this he who sat and begged? Some said: This is he. 9. Others said: He is like him. But he himself said: I am he.

10. They say to him: How then were your eyes opened? 11. But he answered them and said: The man who is called Jesus, touched my eyes, and said: Go to Siloam, and wash. And I went, and washed, and I see. 12. They said therefore to him: And where is he? He says: I know not. 13. They bring him to the Pharisees, him namely who had been blind. Now it was a sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15. Again the Pharisees asked [lacuna] him how he had received his sight. And he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I went, and washed, and I see. 16. Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath thus. Others said: How can a sinful man do such signs? And there were divisions among them. 17. They said therefore to that blind man: What do you say of him, that he opened your eyes?

And he said: That he is a Prophet. 18. The Jews did not believe, that he had been blind and sees, until they called his parents: 19. And they asked them: Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How does he now [lacuna] see? 20. His parents answered and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. 21. But how he now sees, we know not: or who opened his eyes, we know not: [lacuna] ask him: he is of age, let him speak for himself. 22. These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said: He is of age, ask him himself. 24. They called therefore again the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God, we know that this man is a sinner.

25. He said: Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that I was blind, and now I see. 26. They say to him: What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes? 27. He answered them: I told you, and you did not hear: why do you wish to hear again? Do you also wish to become his disciples? 28. And they reviled him, and said: Be you his disciple: but we are disciples of Moses. 29. We know that God spoke to Moses: but this man we know not whence he. The man answered and said to them: In this is a marvellous thing, that you know not whence he is, and he opened my eyes: 31. We know that God does not hear sinners: but if any man worship God, and do his will, him God hears. 32. From the beginning of the world it has not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one born blind.

33. Unless [lacuna] he were from God, [lacuna] he could do nothing. 34. They [lacuna] answered [lacuna] him, and [lacuna] said: You were born wholly in sins: and do you teach us? And they cast him out. 35. Jesus heard that they had cast [lacuna] him [lacuna] out: and he found him, and said to him: Do you believe in the Son of God? 36. He answered: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him [lacuna]? 37. Jesus said [lacuna] to him: Both you have seen him, and he who speaks [lacuna] with you, he it is [lacuna] He said: I believe, Lord. And he worshipped him. 39. Jesus said: For Judgment I came into this world: that they who do not see [lacuna] may see [lacuna], and they who see may become blind. 40. And some therefore of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind? 41. Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would have no sin, but you say: Because we see.

Your sin therefore remains in you.

Amen, amen I say to you: he who does not enter through the door into the sheepfold, is a thief. And a robber. But he who enters through the door, is the shepherd of the sheep. 3. To this one the doorkeeper [lacuna] opens, and [lacuna] the sheep hear [lacuna] his voice, [lacuna] his own sheep he calls by name, and leads. Them. And when he has put forth all his own, he goes before [lacuna] them, and [lacuna] the sheep follow [lacuna] him, because [lacuna] they know [lacuna] his voice. [lacuna] A stranger they do not [lacuna] follow, but they flee from him: because they know not the voice of a stranger. 6. This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they did not understand what he spoke to them. Jesus therefore said again to them: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door. Of the sheep. All whosoever came before, are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear [lacuna] them. [lacuna] I am the door.

If any man enter through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and shall find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, and to destroy. But I came that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly. 11. I am the good shepherd. But the good shepherd [lacuna] lays down his own soul for the sheep. He who. Is a hireling, and is not the shepherd [lacuna], whose own [lacuna] the sheep are not [lacuna], sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf seizes them, and scatters them [lacuna] the sheep: 13. But the hireling [lacuna] flees, because [lacuna] he is a hireling, and does not care about the sheep [lacuna] I am the good shepherd: and I know my sheep [lacuna], and they know [lacuna] me [lacuna] As [lacuna] the Father knows me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my soul for the sheep.

16. And other little sheep I have, which are not of this fold: and them I must bring, that they may hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, and one. Shepherd. Therefore the Father loves me: because I lay down my soul for the sheep, that I may take it again. 18. No man takes it from me: but [lacuna] I lay it down of myself, I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it again. For this commandment I received from the Father. 19. A division was made again among the Jews on account of these words. 20. And many of them said: He has a devil, and is mad: why do you hear him? 21. Others said: These [lacuna] words are not of one who has a devil: can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22. The feast of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem: and it was winter. 23. And Jesus walked in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.

24. The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him: How long do you hold our soul in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us [lacuna] plainly. 25. Jesus answered them: I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of 26. Me: but you do not believe, for you are not of my sheep, as I said 27. To you. They who are [lacuna] of my sheep, hear my voice: and I know them, and they follow me: 28. And I give them eternal life: and they [lacuna] shall not perish for ever, and no man snatches them from my hand [lacuna] The Father, what he has given me, is greater than all: and no man can snatch it from the hand of my. Father. I and the Father are one. The Jews therefore took up stones to stone him. 32. Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shown you from the Father [lacuna]: for which [lacuna] of those [lacuna] do you stone me?

33. The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone you not, but for blasphemy: and because, though you are a man, you make yourself God. 34. Jesus answered them: Is it not written in the law [lacuna] that I said, You are gods? 35. If he called them gods, to whom the word of God was spoken, and the scripture cannot be broken: him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into this world, do you say: He blasphemes: because I said, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of the Father, believe me. Not. But if I do them, and you will not believe me, believe the works, and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. 39. They sought therefore to seize him: and he escaped from their. Hands. And he went again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing: and he remained there: 41. Many therefore came to him, and said: Because John indeed did no sign.

But all things that John said of this man, were true [lacuna] And many believed [lacuna] in him.

Now there was a certain sick man named Lazarus of Bethany, from the village [lacuna] of Mary, and of Martha her sister. (Now Mary was she who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick. His sisters therefore sent to hi[lacuna], saying: [lacuna] is sick. When Jesus heard, he said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified in it. 5. For Jesus loved Lazarus, and his sisters. 6. When therefore he heard that he is sick, then he remained in the same place; after these things he says to the disciples: Let us go again [lacuna] into Judaea. 8. His disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee, and thou goest thither again? 9. Jesus answered them: Are there not twelve hours of the day?

If any man walk in the daytime, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world: but if any man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 11. These things he said, and po[lacuna] after these things he said [lacuna] Lazarus our fr[lacuna]iend is asleep: but I go that I may awake him. 12. His disciples therefore said to him: Lord, if he sleeps, he will be well. But Jesus had spoken of his death: but they [lacuna] supposed that he spoke of the repose of sleep. Then he said plainly: Lazarus is dead: 15. And I rejoice [lacuna] for your sake [lacuna] that I was not there. But let us go to him. 16. Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17. Jesus therefore came: and found him already four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.

19. And many of the Jews had come [lacuna] to [lacuna] and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. 20. Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, ran to meet him: but Mary sat at home. Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died: 22. And now I know that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. [lacuna] Jesus said to her: Thy bro[lacuna]ther shall rise again. 24. Martha said: I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrect[lacuna] who believeth in me, even if he be dead, shall live: and every one who seeth and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? 27. Martha said to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art the Christ the Son of God, who into this world.

Cam[lacuna] Having said these things, she went away, and called Mary her sister in silence, saying: The Master is come, and calleth thee. 29. She, when she heard, rose quickly, and came to him: 30. For Jesus had not yet come into the village: but was still in that place where Martha had met him. 31. The Jews therefore, who were with he[lacuna] in the hou[lacuna]se consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose quickly and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the tomb, to weep. There. Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell at his feet, saying: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died. 33. Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who had come with her, groaned in spirit, and troubled himself, and said: Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. And Jesus. Wept. And the Jews said: Behold how he loved him.

But some of them said: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that this man should not die? 38. Jesus therefore groaning within himself, came to the tomb: now it was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it. Jesus said: Take away the sto[lacuna]. Ne. Jesus said: Take away the sto[lacuna] Martha the sister of Lazarus saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is four days dead. 40. Jesus saith: Did I not say to thee that if thou believest, thou shalt see the majesty. Of God? And they took away the stone: and Jesus, lifting up his eyes upward to hea[lacuna] said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou always hearest me, but because of the crowd standing around, I said it: that they may believe that thou hast. Sent me. And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.

44. And he came out, he who had been dead, bound feet and hands with grave-bands, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said: Loose him, and let him go. 45. Many therefore of the Jews, who had come to Mary, seeing what Jesus had done, believed in. Him. But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. 47. The chief priests and Pharisees therefore gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doeth many signs? 48. If we let him alone thus, all will believe in him: and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. 49. But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was that year Prince of the Priests, said to them: You know nothing. Nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

51. Now this he said not of himself: but because he was Prince of the Priests of that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation. And not only for the nation, but that he might also gather together the dispersed children of God into one. 53. From that day therefore they took counsel to kill him. 54. Jesus therefore now walked no more openly among the Jews, but went away into a region near the desert, into a city which is called Ephraem, a city, and there he abode with his disciples. 55. In that time the Passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem from that region before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56. They sought therefore Jesus, and spoke among themselves, standing in the temple, and saying: Think you that he will not come to the feast day? Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was [lacuna], he should tell it, that they might apprehend him.

Now Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, [lacuna] whom he had raised [lacuna] from the dead. [lacuna] they made him a supper: and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table. 3. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wip[lacuna] his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4. One of his disciples saith, Simon [lacuna] Judas Iscariot, [lacuna] who [lacuna] why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? 6. Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thie[lacuna] and had the purse [lacuna], and took away what was put therein. 7. Jesus said: Let [lacuna] her alone, that she may keep it for the day of my burial. 8. Let her keep it. For the poor ye have always with you: but me ye have not always.

9. Now a great multitude of the Jews heard that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus, wh[lacuna] he had raised [lacuna] from the dead. 10. But the chief priests took counsel that they might also kill Lazarus: because many of the Jews on account of him were going and believing in Jesus. 12. On the next day a great multitude, who had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem, took branches of palms, and went out [lacuna] to meet him, [lacuna] and cried out, saying: Hosanna, son of David, blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel. 14. And Jesus found an ass, and sat upon it, as it is written: Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy King cometh meek, sitting upon the foal of an ass.

16. Now these things his disciples did not understand at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him: and these things they did to him. 17. The multitude therefore bore witness, who were with him, that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead. For this reason the multitude met him: because they had heard that he had done this sign. 19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that you prevail nothing? Behold the whole world is gone after him. 20. Now there were certain Greeks among those who had gone up to worship on the feast day. These came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Lord, we wish to see Jes[lacuna]. Philip came, and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip came, and told Jesus. 23. And he answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24. Amen, amen I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falling into the earth die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it: and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal. 26. If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, my Father will honour him. 27. Now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? Father, deliver me from this hour: but for this cause I came into this hour. 28. Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice from heaven, saying: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29. The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said: It was thunder. Others said: An angel hath spoken to him. 30. Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice came not because of me, but because of you.

Now is the judgment of this world: now the Prince of this world is cast. Out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. (Now this he said, signifying what death he was to die. The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou: That the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? 35. Jesus said to them: Yet a little while the light is among you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness knoweth not. Where he goeth. While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away, and hid himself. But though he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him: 38. That the word of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our report?

And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39. Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, and not understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41. These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke. Of him. Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be cast out of the Synagogue. For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. 44. But Jesus cried out, saying: He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who. Sent me. And he that seeth me, seeth him who. Sent me. I am come a light into this world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.

47. And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge this world, but to save this world. 48. He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one to judge him. The word that I have spoken [lacuna] to them, that [lacuna] shall judge him on the last day. Because I have not spoken of myself, but the Father who sent me. He himself gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. 50. And I know that his commandment is life eternal. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.

Now before the solemn day of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come that he should pass from this world to the Father, loving his disciples who were in this world, loved them unto the end. 2. And supper being made, when the devil had put it into the heart of Judas of Simon Iscariot to betray him; knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had gone out from God, and was going. To God; he rose from supper, and laid aside his garments: and taking a towel, girded himself. Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. He came therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7. Jesus answering said to him: What I do, thou [lacuna] Peter said: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash [lacuna] thy feet, thou hast not part with me.

9. Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands, and my head, and my whole body. 10. Jesus said to him: He who has bathed has no need to wash save [lacuna] [lacuna] ur [lacuna] you are clean, but not. All. For he knew who would be [lacuna] tray him: therefore he said [lacuna] Because you are not all [lacuna] clean. 12. When [lacuna] therefore he had washed their feet, he took his garments: and reclined again, and said to them: Do you understand what I have done to you? Bis? You call me Master and Lord: and you say well: for so. If therefore I, who am Lord and Master, have washed your feet, how much more [lacuna] ought you [lacuna] to wash one another's. Feet. For I have given you an example [lacuna], that as I have done to you, so you also should do.

16. Amen, amen I say to you, the servant is not greater than his lord, nor is the Apostle greater than he by whom he was 17. Sent. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18. I speak not of all of you: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19. From now I tell you, before it comes to pass; that when it shall have come to pass, you may believe, that. Amen, amen I say to you, he who re[lacuna]ceives him whom I shall se[lacuna]nd, receives me, he who receives me receives him who sent me. 21. These things Jesus spoke, and was troubled in spirit: and he testified, saying: Amen, amen I say to you, that one of you shall betray me. 22. Then his disciples looked one upon another, wondering of whom. He spoke.

Now there was one of his disciples reclining in the bosom of Jesus, even he whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, saying: Ask who it is of whom he speaks? 25. He therefore leaning upon the breast of Jesus, said to him: Lord, who is it? 26. Jesus therefore answered: It is he to whom I shall reach the bread dipped. He dipped therefore the bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot. 27. And when he had received the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him: What thou dost, do quickly. Now none of those who were reclining. Understood why he said this to him. For many thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which are necessary for the solemn day; or that he should give something to the poor. 30. When therefore he had received the bread, he went out immediately. Now it was night. When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him.

32. And God hath glorified him in himself, and immediately will glorify him. 33. Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me; and as I said to the Jews: Where I am, you cannot come: so now I say to you [lacuna] [lacuna] a new commandment [lacuna] I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you; so also do you love one another. By this all men shall know that you are my disciples, if you shall have true love among yourselves. 36. Simon Peter said to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow afterwards. Peter said to him: Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. 38. Jesus answered: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, until thou deny me thrice. And he said to his disci-

Ples: Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions; otherwise I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. If I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to myself, that where I am, you. Also may be. And whither I go, you know the. Way. Thomas said to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how do we know the way? 6. Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one cometh to the Father, but. Through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also: henceforth you know him, and have seen him. 8. Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. 9. Jesus answered: So long a time I am with you, and you have not known me? Philip, he that hath seen me hath seen the Father also.

How sayest thou: Show us the Father? 10. Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak with you, I speak not of myself. But the Father, who abideth in me, he speaketh, and the works which I do, he doeth. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in. Me: otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do, and greater than these shall he do: because I go to the Father. And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified. In the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. 15. If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate, that he may be with you for ever.

The Spirit of truth, whom this world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. You know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you. 18. I will not leave you orphans: I will come. To you. Yet a little while, and this world seeth me no more. But you shall see me: because I live, and. You shall live. In that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I. In you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22. Judas said to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, what hath come to pass, that thou dost manifest thyself to us, and not to this world?

23. Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, let him keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him. 24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And my word is not mine; but his who sent me, the Father's. 25. These things I have spoken to you, abiding with you. 26. But the Advocate, that holy Spirit the Paraclete, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things whatsoever I shall have said. 27. Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you: not as this world giveth, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28. You have heard that I said to you: I go, and I come to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29. And now I have told you before it come to pass; that when it shall come to pass, you may believe. 30. I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath nothing to find. But that this world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath given me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every. Branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every one that beareth fruit he purgeth, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3. Now you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch of the vine cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5. For I am the vine, you are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: because without me you can do nothing, unless one abide in me. 6. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they shall burn.

7. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, whatsoever you shall will to ask, it shall be done to you. 8. In this is my Father glorified, that you bring forth much fruit, and become my. Disciples. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my. Love. And if you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, as I also have kept the commandments of my Father, and abide in his love. 11. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled. 12. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I also have loved you. 13. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14. You are my friends, if you receive what I command you. 15. Now I call you not servants, but friends. [lacuna] the servant knoweth not what his lord doth.

But you I have called friends, because all things whatsoever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. 16. You have not chosen me; but I have chosen you, and have appointed you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and your fruit should remain, that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17. These things I command you, that you love one another. 18. If this world hate you, know ye that it hated me before you. 19. If you had been of this world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of this world, but I have chosen you out of this world, therefore the world hateth you. 20. Be mindful of the word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his lord, nor the Apostle greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them: I speak not of all of you. I know whom I have chosen.

21. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me. 22. If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23. He that hateth me hateth. My Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my. Father. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: Because they hated me without cause. 26. When therefore the Paraclete shall come, whom I will send you from my Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from my Father, he shall testify of me: 27. And you also shall bear testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.

These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized. 2. They will put you out of the Synagogue; but the hour comes, when whosoever shall kill you will think. That he offers a sacrifice to God: and these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4. These things I have spoken to you; that, when the hour shall come, you may remember, because I told you. 5. But these things I did not tell you from the beginning, because I was with you: but now I go to him, who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where. [lacuna]? But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go: for, if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you. 8. And when he shall come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of justice, and.

Of judgment. Of sin indeed, because they did not believe. In me: of justice moreover, because I go to the Father, and you shall see me no more: of judgment, because the Prince of this world is judged. 12. I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot now. Bear them. But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all truth. For he speaks not of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, he will speak, and the things that are to come, he has announced to you. 14. He has glorified me, because he shall receive of mine, and has announced to you. 15. All things whatsoever the Father has, are mine. Therefore I said to you: Because he receives of mine, and has announced. To you. A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me.

17. His disciples therefore said to one another: What is this that he said to us: Behold a little while, and you shall not see me, and after a little while, and you shall see me: and what he said: I go to the Father. 18. What is this little while? We do not understand what he said. 19. Jesus knew, that they wished to ask him, and said to them: Of this you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me, and again a little while, and you shall see me. 20. Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall weep, and mourn, but the world shall rejoice: you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her day has come: but when she has brought forth the child, she remembers no more the anguish for joy, because a man is born into this world.

22. And you therefore now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man shall take from you. But in that day you shall ask me nothing. Amen, amen I say to you, that if you shall ask the Father anything in my name, he will give it to you. Hitherto you have not asked anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25. These things I have spoken to you in similitudes. The hour comes when I shall no longer speak to you in similitudes, but plainly I will announce to you of the Father. 26. In that day ask in my name, and I will make intercession for you. 27. For the Father himself loves you: you have loved me, and have believed, that I came forth from God. And came from the Father into this world: again I leave this world, and go to the Father. 29. His disciples say to him: Behold now you speak plainly, and speak no similitude.

Now we know that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: in this we believe, that you came from God. 31. Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? Behold the hour comes, and now is come, that you shall be scattered every man into his own region, and shall leave me alone: but I shall not be alone, because the Father is with me. 33. These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In this world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, because I have overcome the world.

These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you: 2. As you have given him power over all flesh, that everything which you have given him, he may give them eternal life. 3. Now this is eternal life, that they may know you the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom. You have sent. I have glorified you upon earth: the work which you gave me to do, I have finished it: and now glorify me, you Father, with yourself, with the glory which I had with you, before the world was. I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of this world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7. Now I have known that all things which you have given me.

Are from you; for the words which you gave me, I have given to them; and they have received them truly, because they came forth from you, [lacuna] and they have believed, that you. Sent me. I pray for them: I pray not for this world, but for those whom you have given me, because they are yours: and all mine are yours, and what is yours is mine: and I am glorified in them. And these are in this world, and I come to you, and now I am no more in this world, and they are in this world. Holy Father, keep them in your name: and, while I was in this world with them, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me, I have guarded; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to you, and these things I speak in this world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14. I have given them your word, and this world has hated them, because they are not of this world, as I am not of this world. 15. I pray not that. You take them out of the world: they are not, [lacuna] [lacuna] I am not of this world. 17. Sanctify them in truth. Your word is true. 18. As you sent me into this world, so I also sent them into this world: and for them I sanctify myself; that they also may be sanctified in truth. I pray not for these only, but for those also, [lacuna] shall believe through their word in me; that all may be one, as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe, that you sent me. 22. And the glory which you gave me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one.

23. I in them, and you in me; that they may be made perfect in one; that this world may know, th[lacuna] you sent me, and have loved th[lacuna], as you also have loved me. 24. Father, those whom you have given me, I will that where I am, they also may be with me; that they may see my glory, which you have given me: because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25. Just Father, and this world has not known you: but I have known you, and these have known, that you. Sent me. And I have made known to them your name, and will make it known[lacuna]; that the charity with which you have loved me, may be in them, and I in them.

When these things were said, Jesus went out, and his disciples across the torrent of Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered together with his disciples. His. Now Judas also knew that place: because Jesus had often gathered there with his disciples. 3. Judas therefore, having received a cohort from the Chief Priests, and ministers from the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. 4. Jesus therefore knowing all things that were coming upon him, went out, and said to them: Whom do you seek? 5. They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. He said to them: I am he. Now Jesus stood there, and Judas, who was about to betray him, stood with them. 6. When therefore he said to them: I am he: they went back, and fell to the ground. 7. Again he questioned them: Whom do you seek? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth. I told you, I am he: if therefore you seek me, let these go: 9.

That the word might be fulfilled, which he said: Of those whom you gave me, I have lost none. Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the Chief Priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the name of that servant was Malchus. 11. Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which my Father has given me, do you not wish that I drink it? 12. The cohort therefore, and the tribune, and the ministers of the Jews seized Jesus, and bound. Him, and led him to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was Chief Priest that year. Now this is Caiaphas, who had given counsel to the Jews: That it is expedient for one man to die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish. Now Simon Peter was following Jesus, and another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and together he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the Chief Priest.

But Peter stood outside at the door. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the Chief Priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper: and brought Peter in. 17. The maidservant doorkeeper therefore says to Peter: Are you not also one of the disciples of that man? And he said: I am not. 18. Now the servants and ministers were standing at the coals, because it was cold: and Peter also stood with them, warming himself. 19. The Chief Priest therefore questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. 20. Jesus answered: I have spoken openly to this world: and I always taught in the Synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have spoken. Nothing. Why do you question me? Question those who have heard what I said to them: and behold these know what I said. 22. When he had said these things, one of the ministers standing by gave a slap in the face of Jesus, saying: If [lacuna] do you answer the Chief Priest?

23. Jesus answered him: If I have spoken wrongly, give testimony of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike me? 24. Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the Chief Priest. 25. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself at the fire. They therefore said to him: Are you not also one of his disciples? And he denied it, and said: I am not. 26. One of the servants of the Chief Priest says, who was a kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off: Did I not see you in the garden with him? Again therefore he denied it, and immediately the cock crowed. 28. They therefore bring Jesus, sent to Caiaphas the Chief Priest, into the praetorium. Now it was morning, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, lest they be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. 29. Now Pilate went out to them outside, and said: What accusation do you bring against this man?

30. The Jews answered, and said to him: If this man were not a wrongdoer, we would never have handed him over to you. 31. Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves therefore, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death; that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying by what death he was to die. 33. Pilate therefore entered again into the praetorium and called Jesus to himself, and said to him: Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus answered: Do you say this of yourself, or have others told you? 35. Pilate answered: Am I also a Jew? Your own nation, and the Chief Priests have handed you over to me: what have you done? [lacuna]? Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would contend, that I should not be handed over to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from here.

37. Pilate says: Are you then the King of the Jews? Jesus answers: You say it, because I am a King. For this I was born, and for this I came into this world, that I might bear witness to the truth: everyone who is of the truth, hears my voice. 38. Pilate says to him: What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them: I find no cause in him. Now you have a custom, that I should release one to you: do you wish therefore that I release the King of the Jews? 40. But all cried out, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged him; and the soldiers plaiting a crown of thorns, placed it upon his head, and a purple garment they put. Upon him, and they came to him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews: and they gave him slaps in the face. 4. Pilate went out again outside, and said to them: Behold I bring him out to you outside, that you may know that I find no cause in him. 5. Jesus therefore went out outside wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple tunic. When the Priests and ministers had seen him, they cried out, that they should fix him to the cross. Pilate says to them: Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 7. The Jews answered: We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 8. Now when Pilate had heard this word, he was more afraid. And he entered again into the praetorium, and said to Jesus: Where are you from?

But Jesus gave no answer. 10. Pilate therefore said to him: Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to crucify you, and I have power to release you? 11. Jesus answered him, and said: You would have no power [lacuna] over me at all, unless it had been given to you from above [lacuna] Because of this, he who handed me over to you has the greater sin [lacuna] And from this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar. For everyone who makes himself a King, speaks against Caesar. 13. When Pilate therefore had heard these words, he brought out [lacuna] Jesus, and sat on the tribunal in the place, which is called Lithostrotos, but in Hebrew Gennaesa. Now it was the preparation of the Passover, the hour was about the sixth, and he said to the Jews: Behold your King. 15. And they cried out: Away, away, crucify him.

Pilate says to them: Shall I crucify your King? [lacuna] The Priests answered: We have no King but Caesar. 16. Then he handed him over to them, that he might be crucified. They therefore took Jesus;. And bearing the cross for himself, he came to the place which is called the Place of the Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. Where they crucified him, and with him two other robbers, one on this side and one on that side, but Jesus in the middle. 19. Now Pilate also wrote a title, and placed it above the cross. Now it was written: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. 20. This title therefore many of the Jews read, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. 21. The Chief Priests therefore and the rulers of the Jews said to Pilate: Do not write King of the Jews; but, that he himself said: I am King of the Jews.

22. Pilate answered them: What I have written, I have writ23. Ten. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, a part for each soldier. Now the tunic was from the top, but woven in [lacuna] throughout. 24. They therefore said to one another: Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled: They divided my garments among themselves, and upon my garment they cast lots. 25. Now there stood beside the cross of Jesus his mother Mary, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas. 26. Now Jesus, when he saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother: Woman, behold your son. 27. Then he says to the disciple: Behold your mother. From that hour that disciple took her into his own. 28. After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were accomplished, and that the Scriptures might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.

29. A vessel was placed there full of vinegar: surrounding it with hyssop, they offered it to his mouth. When he had received the vinegar, he said: 30. It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the spirit. 31. The Jews therefore, since it was the day of preparation, lest the bodies should remain on the cross, (for it was a [lacuna] great day [lacuna] of that sabbath) asked [lacuna] Pilate, that their legs might be broken [lacuna], and that they might be taken down from the cross. 32. The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other likewise, who was crucified with him. 33. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs;. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance, and immediately blood. And water came out. And he who saw it, bears witness, and his testimony is true. And he himself knows that he speaks the truth, that you also may believe.

36. For these things were done to him, [lacuna] that the Scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. 37. And again another Scripture: They shall look upon him whom they have pierced. 38. Now after these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but hidden for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus [lacuna] and Pilate permitted it. They therefore came, and took him away. 39. Nicodemus also came, he who had previously come to Jesus by night, bearing [lacuna] a mixture of myrrh and aloe [lacuna], about a hundred. Pounds. And they took the body of Jesus, and bound him in linen cloths with spices, as is the custom of the Jews to bury. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified: and in that [lacuna] tomb [lacuna] in a new [lacuna] the tomb was, they placed Jesus.

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came, while it was still dark, to the tomb; and she sees the stone taken away from the tomb. And she ran, and came to Simon[lacuna]and[lacuna]disciple[lacuna]nt[lacuna]where they had laid him. 3. Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and they were going to the tomb. Now the two of them were running together, but that disciple ran ahead more swiftly than Peter, and came first to the tomb. And stooping down, he sees the linen cloths lying, yet he did not enter. 6. Simon[lacuna] Peter followed him, and entered into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths. Lying, and the sudarium, which had been placed apart, wrapped up in one place. 8. Then therefore the disciple also entered, who had come first to the tomb, and he saw. And believed: for they did not yet know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10. The disciples therefore went away to their own homes.

11. But Mary was standing weeping at the tomb; and as she wept, [lacuna] looked into the tomb; and she saw two Angels[lacuna]in white sitting, one at the head, one at the feet, where Jesus had been laid. 13. They say to her[lacuna]woman, why do you weep? She says to them: Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him[lacuna]—. When she had said these things, she turned back, and sees[lacuna]she did not know that it was Jesus. 15. Jesus says to her: Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? She[lacuna]supposing[lacuna]him to be the gardener, says to him: Lord, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. 16. Jesus says to her[lacuna]: Mary.

She stood still, and said to him: Rh[lacuna] (which is to say, Lord.) Jesus says to her: Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brothers, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God. 18. Mary Magdalene came announcing to the disciples: that I have seen the Lord: and that he said these things to her. 19. But when evening had come on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors being shut, where the[lacuna]disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be with you. 20. And when he had said these things, he showed them his hands and his side: and the disciples rejoiced. He says to them therefore again: Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. He breathed upon them, and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit: 23.

If you shall have remitted the sins of any, they shall be remitted to him: if you shall have retained those of any, they shall be retained. 24. Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when. Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Unless I shall see in his hands the mark of the nails, and shall put my finger into the place of the nails, and shall put my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26. After eight days he came again: the disciples were together inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came with the doors shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be with you. 27. Then he said to Thomas: Bring your finger here, and see my hands, and put your hand into my side: and do not be unbelieving, but believing. 28. Thomas answered and said to him: You are my Lord and. My God.

Jesus says to him: Because you have seen, you have believed: blessed are they who have not seen, and have believed. 30. Many other signs also Jesus did in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31. But these things are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God; and that believing, you may have life in his name.

After these things Jesus showed himself again to his disciples at the sea. Of Tiberias: and there were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 3. Simon Peter says to them: I am going fishing. They say to him: We also come with you. They went out, and got into the boat: and that night they caught nothing. 4. But when morning had come, Jesus stood on the shore; for the disciples did not know. That it was Jesus. He says to them: Have you any food? They answered him: 6. No. But he said to them: Cast on the right side of the boat, and you will find. They cast, and were not able to draw[lacuna]the net, because of the multitude of fishes. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter: It is the Lord.

And Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girded his tunic about him, (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. 8. The other disciples came in the boat (for they were not far from land, about two hundred cubits) dragging the net of fishes. 9. When therefore they had come down to land, they see coals laid, and a fish placed upon them, and bread. 10. Jesus says to them: Bring some of the fish which you have caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of large fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And though there were so many, the net was not torn. 12. Jesus says to them: Come, dine. And none of the disciples dared to ask him: Who are you? Knowing that he was the Lord. 13. Jesus came, and took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish likewise. 14. This was now the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.

When therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Peter: Simon son of John, do you love me? He says to him: Yes, Lord. He says to him: Feed my sheep. He says to him again: Simon son of John, do you love me? He says to him: Yes, Lord. 17. He says to him: Feed my sheep. He says to him a third time: Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him a third time: Do you love me? He says to him: Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Amen, amen I say to you, when you were[lacuna]younger, you girded yourself, and[lacuna]walked where you wished[lacuna]but when[lacuna]you shall have grown old[lacuna]you shall stretch[lacuna]your hands[lacuna]and another shall gird[lacuna]you and lead you where[lacuna]. You do not wish. Now this he said, signifying by what death he was to glorify God. He says to him: Follow. Me.

And Peter turning saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had reclined at supper upon the breast of Jesus, and had said: Lord. Who is it that betrays you? When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus: Lord, what about this man? [lacuna] I will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? But you follow me. 23. And this saying went out among the brothers, that that disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say: He does not die: but: So I will that he remain until I come. 24. This is the disciple who bears witness concerning Jesus, and who wrote these things, we know; and we know that his testimony is true. 25. And many other things Jesus did, which, if they were written down one by one, I think not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

Here ends the gospel according to john.

Luke was a Syrian of Antioch, a physician by trade, a disciple of the apostles, but afterwards he followed Paul until his confession, serving the Lord blamelessly. He never had a wife, he never begot children; he died in his seventy-fourth year, full of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when the Gospels had already been written down, by Matthew indeed in Judaea, by Mark in Italy, he, moved by the Holy Spirit in the regions of Achaia, wrote this Gospel, indicating by his opening that others had been written before his own: but also that a very great necessity lay upon him to set forth to the faithful Greeks with the utmost diligence the whole arrangement in his narrative.

For this reason, lest they be held by a longing for Jewish fables, or lest, seduced by heretical fables and foolish[lacuna]enticements, they should depart from the truth. He therefore took up, as most necessary, straightway at the beginning from the birth of John, which is the beginning of the Gospel sent before our Lord Jesus Christ, and he was a companion unto the completion of the people, likewise unto the introduction of baptism and of the passion. But indeed the example of that arrangement the Prophet Malachi, the last of the twelve, calls to mind. Afterwards John the apostle wrote the Apocalypse on the island of Patmos, then the Gospel in Asia. Likewise Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles.

Forasmuch as many[lacuna]tem. [lacuna] commandments and ordinances of the Lord. [lacuna] you may know the certainty of those words[lacuna]ibus[lacuna]you. [lacuna] to offer incense entering[lacuna]tem[lacuna] [lacuna] a perfect people. 18. And Zacha[lacuna]rias said to the Angel: How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days. 19. And the Angel answering said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God: and I was sent to speak to you, and I have come to announce these things to you. 20. And behold you shall be silent, and shall not be able to speak until the day[lacuna]in which these things shall come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. 21. And the people were waiting for Zacharias: and they marvelled that he delayed in the temple.

22. But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he himself was[lacuna]making signs to them, and remained dumb. For behold thy prayer has been heard: and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John: and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth: for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord: and wine, and strong drink he shall not drink; and he shall be filled with the Ho[lacuna]Ghost even from his mother's. Womb; and many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God; and he himself shall go before him in the sight of him in the spirit and power of Elias: to turn the hearts of the Fathers to the children, and the unbelieving to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a peo23.

And it came to pass, when the days of his Priesthood were fulfilled, he went into his own. House. But after those days Elisabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying: 25. Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men. 26. In the same [lacuna] time [lacuna] the Angel Gabriel from God into the ci[lacuna] of Galile[lacuna] nam[lacuna] Nazar[lacuna]. Gin[lacuna] of the ho[lacuna] of Da[lacuna] vi[lacuna] Vir[lacuna]. Ria. An[lacuna] sus[lacuna] ben[lacuna] her, say[lacuna] Hail, gra[lacuna] full[lacuna] with thee[lacuna] blessed art thou among wo[lacuna]. [lacuna] but she[lacuna] when she saw[lacuna] was trou[lacuna] at his[lacuna] appearance, and was [lacuna] ing, what manner of greet-. [lacuna] And [lacuna] the Angel[lacuna] fear[lacuna]. [lacuna] behold [lacuna] conceiv[lacuna] womb[lacuna] thou shalt call him Son[lacuna] ca[lacuna] en. [lacuna] Jesus.

He [lacuna] great [lacuna] Son of the Most High[lacuna] shall be call[lacuna] ed, and[lacuna] the Lord shall give him[lacuna] the throne of Da[lacuna] his Father[lacuna] and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said unto him: How shall this be, since I know not a man? 35. And the Angel answering said unto her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. Ther[lacuna] fore that which[lacuna] shall be called from[lacuna] thee, shall be called the Son. Of God. And behold Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a Son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren. For with God nothing is impossible of every [lacuna] rd.

And Mary said: Behold the Handmaid of the L[lacuna] be it un[lacuna] [lacuna] Mary in those days, and went into the hill country with haste[lacuna] into the ci[lacuna] of Ju[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] and she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and bles- [lacuna] sed [lacuna] is the fruit of thy womb[lacuna]. Blessed art thou, who hast believed that there shall be a fulfilment of those things which were spoken to thee by the Lord. 46. And Elisabeth said: My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced[lacuna] in G[lacuna] my salvation. [lacuna] he hath regarded the humi[lacuna] lity of his hand- [lacuna] maid: [lacuna] he is mighty: and holy is his name. 50. And his mercy is from generation to generation upon them that fear him. 51. He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the thought and imagination of their hearts. 52. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, [lacuna] exalt[lacuna].

The rich he hath sent empty away. 54. He hath received Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy[lacuna]. [lacuna] our fathers Abr[lacuna]ham, and his se[lacuna] for ev[lacuna]. And Mary abode with her three months[lacuna] and re[lacuna] turned[lacuna]. She brought forth a Son. 58. And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard how[lacuna] the Lord had magnified[lacuna] his mercy with her[lacuna] and they congratulated. Her. And it came to pass[lacuna] on the eighth[lacuna] they came to circumcise[lacuna]. His mother answering said: Not so, but he shall be called John. And they said unto her: There is none in thy kindred that is called by this name. 62. And they made signs also to his father, what he would have him called. 63. And, having received a tab[lacuna] his name. 64. And immediately his tongue was loosed, and all marvelled. And his mouth was opened, and he spoke, blessing God.

And [lacuna] there was fear upon [lacuna] all [lacuna] the neighbours, who dwelt [lacuna] round about them, and in all the hill country of Judaea were spread abroad all [lacuna] these words. [lacuna] laid them up, [lacuna] all, [lacuna] who heard [lacuna] them, in their heart, saying: What manner of child shall this be? [lacuna] the hand of the Lord[lacuna] was with. Him. And Zac[lacuna] his father was filled with the Holy Ghost, and pro[lacuna] phesied, say[lacuna] ing: 68. Blessed be the God of Israel, [lacuna] for he hath visited[lacuna] and wrought redemption[lacuna] for his people[lacuna] a horn[lacuna] [lacuna] for us, in [lacuna] the house of Da[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] was spoken through the mouth of the Holy Pro[lacuna]ph[lacuna]ets of his[lacuna] who [lacuna] have been from of old[lacuna]. Our enemies[lacuna] and from the hand[lacuna] of all [lacuna] who hate us. To shew mercy with our Fa[lacuna] thers; and[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] our fathers to prepare.

For us: that without fear, delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might serve him. 75. In holiness and just[lacuna] in his sight[lacuna] all our days[lacuna]. And thou, child, shalt be called the pro[lacuna] phet of the Most H[lacuna]gh: for thou shalt go be[lacuna] fore the face[lacuna] of the Lord to prepare his ways[lacuna] [lacuna] to give know[lacuna] [lacuna] ledge of salvation to his people: in the remission of their sins. 78. Through the tender mercy of our God, in which he hath visited us, the dayspring from on high: to give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to guide our feet into the way. Of peace. And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit: and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

And it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Au[lacuna] gustus, that all the world should be enrolled throughout the whole [lacuna] rld. 2. This[lacuna] first enrol[lacuna]ment was made[lacuna] when Cyre[lacuna] nius was governor of Syria[lacuna] and all went to be enrolled, each one[lacuna] [lacuna] in his own[lacuna] [lacuna] city. 4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into the land of Judaea, into the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and lineage. Of David, to enrol[lacuna] with Mary[lacuna] who was with child[lacuna]. And it came to pass, while[lacuna] they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should. Bring forth. And she brought[lacuna] forth her Son[lacuna] the firstborn, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room in the inn.

8. And there were shepherds in that region, watching and keeping the watches of the night over their flock. And behold the Angel of the Lord stood over them, and the majesty of the Lord shone round about them, and they feared with a great fear. 10. And the Angel said unto them: Fear not; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people: for. There is born to you this day a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. 12. And this shall be the sign unto you: ye shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, laid in a manger. 13. And suddenly there was with them a multitude of the heavenly host of Angels praising God, and saying: 14. Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace to men of good will.

15. And it came to pass, when the Angels had departed[lacuna] into heaven, the shepherds spoke one to another, and said: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and see this word that is come to pass, as the Lord hath shewed us. 16. And they came with haste; and[lacuna] they found Mary, and Joseph, and the infant laid in the manger. 17. And when they had seen, they made known concerning the word[lacuna] which had been told them concerning. The child; and all who heard marvelled at those things, which the shepherds told them. 19. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. 20. And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, as it had been told unto them. 21. And when eight days were fulfilled for his circumcision, his name was called Jesus, which was called by the Angel before he was conceived. In the womb.

And when the days of her purification were fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord. As it is written in the law of the Lord: That every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord. 24. And to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 25. And behold there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Ghost was upon. Him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. 27. And he came in the spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law; he also received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said: 29.

Now dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace: 30. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples. A light for the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33. And Joseph and his Mother were marvelling at those things which were spoken. Of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his Mother: Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against. And thine own soul also a sword shall pierce, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36. And there was Anna a Prop[lacuna]etess, the daughter of Ph[lacuna]nuel of the tribe of Aser: she was of great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity. 37. And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, who departed not from the temple, serving with fastings and prayers night and day.

And she, standing at that same hour, gave thanks unto God[lacuna] and spoke[lacuna] of him[lacuna] to all[lacuna] who were looking for the redemption of Israel. 39. And when they had performed all things[lacuna] according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city Nazareth, as it was spoken by the Prophet: that he shall be called a Nazarene. 40. And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon. Him. And Joseph and Mary went every year to Jerusalem, on the solemn day of the Passover. 42. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the solemn day of the unleavened bread. 43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew it not. 44. For they supposed him to be in the company, and they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45. And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46. And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the templ[lacuna] sitting in the midst of the doctors[lacuna] hearing them, and asking them questions. 47. And all were amazed[lacuna] who heard him, at his wisdom and his answers. And when they saw him, they were astonished. And his Mother said unto him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? Sorrowing and sad we sought thee. 49. And he said unto them: How is it[lacuna] that ye sought me[lacuna] knew ye not, that[lacuna] in[lacuna] my Father's house I must. Be? And[lacuna] they did not[lacuna] understand[lacuna] the word which he spoke unto them. 51. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them. And his Mother kept all his words in her heart. 52. And Jesus advanced in age, and wisdom, and grace with God and men.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate governing Judaea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch of Ituraea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene, under the High Priests Anna and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the desert. 3. And he came into all the region of the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, as it is written also in the book of the words of Isaiah the Prophet: The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight: every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways into smooth roads: and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 7. He therefore said to the crowds coming forth, that they might be baptized by him: O generation of vipers, who showed you to flee from the wrath to come?

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance: and do not begin to say: We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children of Abraha[lacuna]. For now the axe is also laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear fruit shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. 10. And the crowds asked him, saying: What then shall we do? 11. And he answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none: and he that has food, let him do likewise. 12. And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what. Shall we do? And he said to them: Exact nothing more than what is appointed to you. And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely: and be content with your wages.

15. And as the people were in expectation, and all were thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he himself were the Christ. He answered all, saying: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but there comes one mightier than I. [lacuna] us I am not worthy to carry his sandals; he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: having a winnowing fan in his hand, to purge his threshing floor; and he gathers the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. 18. And with many other things exhorting, he preached the gospel to the people evangelizab[lacuna]. But Herod the Tetrarch, when he was reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother, and concerning all the evil things which Herod had done. Added this above all, and shut up John in prison. 21. And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus having been baptized and praying, heaven was opened.

And the Holy Spirit descended in [lacuna] dily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 23. And Jesus himself was about thirty years of age, beginning, the Son, as was supposed, of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Matthat, who of Levi, who of Melchi, who of Anne, who of Joseph, who of Naum, who of Seddi, who of Nance, who of Mattathias, who of Semeja, who of Joseph, who of Juda, who of Johanna, who of Resa [lacuna] [lacuna] a [lacuna] babel, who of S[lacuna]atiel, who of Neri, who of Melchi, who of Ad[lacuna], who of Cosan, who of Elmadan, who of 29. Er, who of Jesus, who of Eliezer, who of Joram, who of Matthat. Who of Levi, who of Simeon, who of Juda, who of Joseph, who of Jona, who of Eliacim. Who of Enam [lacuna] Mattatha, who of Nathan.

Who of David, who of Jesse, who of Obed, who of Boaz, who of Salmon, who of Na[lacuna]son. Who of Aminadab, who of Aram, who of Esrom, who of Phares, who of 34. Judah, who of Jacob, who of Isaac, who of Abraham, who of Thara, who of 35. Nachor, who of Seruch, who of Ragau, who of Phaleg, who of Eber, who of Sale, who of 36. Cainan, who of Arphaxad, who of Shem, who of Noah, who of 37. Lamech, who of Mathus[lacuna] who of Enoch, who of Jared, who of Mahalaleel, who of C[lacuna]nan, who of Enos, who of Seth, who of Adam, who of God.

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the desert. For forty days, being tempted by the Devil, and he ate no[lacuna] anything in those days, and when they were ended, he was hungry. 3. And the devil said to him: If thou art the Son of God, say to these stones [lacuna] that they become bread[lacuna]. And Jesus answered him, and said: It is written: That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5. He brought him to Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them: for it has been delivered to me[lacuna], and to whomsoever I will, I give it. Thou therefore, if thou wilt fall down and worship before me, all shall be thine.

8. And Jesus answered and said to him: It is written: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. 9. And he brought him into Jeru- [lacuna] alem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast. Thyself down from hence. For it is written, that he has given his Angels charge over thee, to keep thee: they shall bear thee up on their hands, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12. And Jesus answered and said to him: Because it is written: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13. And when every temptation was ended, the devil departed from him, until a time. 14. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report went out through all the surrounding region. Concerning him. And he himself was teaching in the Synagogues, receiving honour from all.

16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered according to his custom on the sabbath day into the Synagogue, and stood up to read. 17. And there was delivered to him the book of the Prophet Isaiah, and unrolling the book, he found the place where it was written: 18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me: because of which he has anointed me, to preach the gospel to the poor he has sent me, to proclaim to the captives release, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are broken into rest, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of redemption. 20. And rolling up the book, and giving it back to the minister, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed. Upon him. And he began to say to them: That today this Scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

22. And all bore witness to him, and marvelled at the words of grace which came forth from his mouth, and said: Is not this the Son of Joseph? 23. And he said to them: Surely you will say to me this parable: Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever things we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy own country. 24. And he said: Amen I say to you, that no Prophet is accepted in his own country. 25. In truth I say to you: There were many widows in the days of Elias, when heaven was shut for three years and six months: when a great famine came upon all the land;. And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. 27. And there were many lepers in Israel under Eliseus the Prophet: but none of them was cleansed, but Naaman the Syrian. 28. And all in the Synagogue were filled with wrath hearing th[lacuna]se things.

And rising up, they cast him out of the city; and led him even to the brow of the hill, upon which their city was built. And passing through the midst of them, he went his way. 31. And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths. And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with power. 33. And there was in the Synagogue a man having an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice. Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 35. And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and go out from him. And when the devil had cast him down, he went out from him, hurting him nothing. 36. And fear came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying: What word is this, for with power and virtue he commands the unclean spirits, and they go out?

37. And the report of him went out into every surrounding Region. 38. And rising up from the Synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was held with a great fever: and they besought him for her. 39. And standing over her, he rebuked the fever: and it left her. And immediately rising up, she ministered to them. 40. And when the sun was setting, all who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him. And he laying his hands on each one of them healed them. 41. And devils also went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God: and rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak; because they knew that he was the Christ. 42. And when day was come, going out he went into a desert place, and the crowds sought him, and came even to him, and detained him, that he should not depart from them.

43. And he said to them: Because I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for to this end I was 44. Sent. And he was preaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.

Now it came to pass, while the crowd pressed upon him to hear the word of God, and he himself was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret. 2. He saw two boats standing at the shore; from which the fishermen had gone out and were washing their nets. 3. And going up into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon: Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch. 5. And Simon answering said to him: Master, toiling through the whole night, we caught nothing: but at your word I will let down the net. 6. And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish: but their nets were breaking. 7. And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat [lacuna] ve [lacuna] nt, and that they should help them.

And they came, and filled both boats, so that they were sinking. Tur. When this was seen, Simon fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord. 9. For fear had seized him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken: likewise James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not: from henceforth you shall be making men alive. 11. And when the boats had been brought to land, leaving all things they followed him. 12. And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold a man full of leprosy, and he himself prostrate on his face, was beseeching him, saying: For if you will, you can cleanse me. 13. And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying: I will, be cleansed.

And immediately the leprosy departed from him; and he charged him to tell no one: but: Go, and show yourself to the Priest, and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that this may be for a testimony to you. But the report about him spread all the more; and great crowds gathered to hear, and to be healed of their. Ailments. But he himself would withdraw into the deserts, and pray. 17. And it came to pass on one of the days, and he himself was teaching. And er [lacuna] arisae [lacuna] ente [lacuna] teachers, who had gathered from every town of Galilee, and from Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18. And behold men bringing upon a bed a man who was paralytic: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

19. And when they could not [lacuna] issent [lacuna] erre [lacuna] on account of the crowd, they went up upon the roof, and through the tiles they let him down with his little bed into the presence of Jesus. 20. And seeing their faith, he said to the man: Your sins are forgiven. You. And the Scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God. Alone? Jesus, having known [lacuna] their thoughts, said to them: What are you reasoning in your. Hearts? Which is easier to say: Your sins are forgiven you: or to say: Rise, and walk? 24. But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: I say to you, rise, and take up your bed [lacuna] and go to your house. 25. And immediately rising up before all, he took up his pallet on which he had been lying [lacuna] and went to his house glorifying God. 26. And fear seized all.

And they were filled with awe, saying: For we have seen [lacuna] rit [lacuna] And [lacuna] he went out, and saw a tax collector [lacuna] named Levi sitting at the tax booth, and said to him: Follow me. And leaving all things, rising up he followed him. 29. And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great crowd of tax collectors, and of others, who [lacuna] were with them [lacuna] with. [lacuna] And in [lacuna] the Pharisees and their Scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners. 31. And Jesus answering, said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 33. And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and the Pharisees (and) make prayers: but yours eat and drink?

34. And he said to them: Can the sons of the bridegroom, while the bridegroom is with them, fast? The days will come; and when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, then they will fast in those days. 36. And he also spoke a parable to them: No one sews a patch from a new garment onto an old one: otherwise he will both tear the new, and the patch from the new will not match the old. 37. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins: otherwise the new wine [lacuna] will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled, and the wineskins will perish. 38. But new wine into new wineskins they put, and both are preserved—

Tur. And it came to pass on the second-first sabbath, as he was passing through the grain fields and his di [lacuna] ciples were plucking ears of grain, rubbing them with their hands, and eating. 2. But certain of the Pharis [lacuna] orum [lacuna] were saying: Why [lacuna] on the sabbaths, what is not lawful? 3. And answering, Jesus said to them: Have you not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, both he and those who were 4. With him? How he entered into the house of God, and took the bread of the Presence, and ate, and gave to those who were with him; which it is not lawful to eat [lacuna] except so [lacuna] for the priests? And he said [lacuna] to them: That the Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath. 6. And it came to pass on another sabbath that he entered into the Synagogue, and taught. And there was there a man, and his right hand was withered.

7. And the Scribes and Pharisa [lacuna] were watching [lacuna] ur [lacuna] ret [lacuna] nir [lacuna] and ac [lacuna] arent. Him. But he knew their thoughts. And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Rise, and stand in the midst. And rising up, he stood. And Jesus said to them: I will ask you, whether it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good [lacuna] [lacuna] evil [lacuna] Looking around at all of them, being in anger, he said to the man: Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored. 11. But they were filled with fury, and were talking with one another about what they might do to J [lacuna] It came to pass [lacuna] he was spending the night in prayer to God. And when day had dawned, he called his disciples, and choosing from them twelve, whom he also named Apostles.

14. Simon, whom he also surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, [lacuna] Ba [lacuna] [lacuna] and Ma [lacuna] hew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Simon who is called 16. Zelotes, and Judas of James, and Judas, who was the betrayer. 17. And coming down with them, he stood in a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judaea, and Jerusalem, and across the sea, and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon. Who had come to hear him, and to be healed of their ailments. And those who were troubled by unclean spirits were healed. 19. And all the crowd sought to touch him; because power went out from him, and healed all. All. And he himself lifting up his eyes upon those learning, said: Blessed 1 are the poor in spirit; for yours is the kingdom of God. 21. Blessed are those who hunger now, and thirst; for you shall be filled. Blessed are those who weep now; for you shall laugh.

22. Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and when they shall cast you out, and when they shall reproach your name as wicked, for the sake of the Son of Man. Minis. Rejoice in that hour, and exult; for behold your reward is great in heaven: in like manner did their Fathers to the Prophets. 24. But woe to you rich, for you have your consolation. Tionem vestram. Woe to you who are full; for you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now; for you shall mourn and. Weep. Woe, when all men shall speak well of you: in like manner did their Fathers to the false Prophets. 27. But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. 28. Bless those who curse you, pray for those who slander you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other also. And from him who takes away your garment, do not withhold your cloak either.

But to everyone who asks of you, give: and from him who takes what is yours, do not ask it. Back. And as you wish that men should do to you, so do to them. 32. And if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? For even sinners do. This. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? For even sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive in return. 35. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great in heaven, and you shall be sons of the Most High; for he himself is kind toward the ungrateful and the wicked. 36. Be merciful, even as your Father also. Shows mercy. Judge not, that you be not judged: condemn not, that you be not condemned.

Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you; a good measure, shaken, heaped up, overflowing shall they give into your bosom. With the same measure with which you measure, it shall be measured back to you. 39. And he also spoke a parable to them: Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will not both fall into a pit? 40. A disciple is not above his master: but everyone when fully trained will be, if he is like his master. 41. But why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but the beam that is in your own eye you do not consider? Or how can you say to your brother: allow me to cast out the speck from your eye: when behold a beam lies in your own eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam from your own eye; and then you will see clearly to cast out the speck from your brother's eye.

There is no good tree that produces bad fruit: nor a bad tree that produces good fruit. Every tree is known by its own fruit. Neither do they gather figs from thorns; nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45. For a good man, out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and the wicked one, out of evil brings forth evil. Out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 46. But why do you call me, Lord, Lord; and do not do what. I say? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: 48. He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; when a storm arose, the river beat against that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

49. But he who hears, and does not do, is like a man building a house upon the ground without a foundation: the river beat against that house, and it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

Now it came to pass, when he had finished all his words in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2. And a certain centurion's servant, who was ill, was beginning to die, and he was dear to him. 3. And hearing of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews to him, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy that thou shouldest grant him. This; for he loveth our nation, and he himself built the Synagogue. For us. And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him: Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but say with a word, and my servant shall be healed.

For I also am a man subject to authority: I have soldiers under me: I say to this one, go, and he goeth: and to another, come, and he cometh: and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled: and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, in no one have I found so great faith in Israel. And those who had been sent returned home, and found the servant whole. 11. And it came to pass afterwards that Jesus went into a city called Nain; and his disciples and a great crowd accompanied him. 12. And it came to pass as he drew near to the gate of the city; and behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow, and a great crowd of the city was 13. With her. And the Lord, having seen her, had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.

14. And drawing near, he touched the bier, (and they that carried it stood still) and he said: Young man, young man, I say to thee, arise. And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16. And fear seized all, and they glorified God, saying: A great Prophet hath risen up among us; and that God hath visited his people for good. 17. And this word went forth concerning him throughout all Judaea, and in all the surrounding region. 18. And the disciples of John told him of all these things. 19. And John, having called two certain of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying: Art thou he that is to come, or do we look for another? 20. And the men came to him, and said: John the Baptist hath sent us, saying: Art thou he that is to come, or do we look for another?

21. In that same hour he healed many of their infirmities, and plagues, and evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave. Sight. And answering, he said to them: Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard: The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them: 23. And blessed shall he be whosoever shall not be scandalized in me. 24. And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25. Truly? But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, they who abound in costly raiment and in delights are in the houses of. A prophet? Yea, I say unto you: No one greater among those born of women, is greater than John the Baptist, and more than a prophet.

27. This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my Angel before thy face, who hath prepared thy way. 28. But I say unto you: Among those born of women there is no one greater than John the Baptist. And he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than. He. And all the people when they had heard, and the publicans justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees, and the doctors of the law, despised [lacuna] his counsel in themselves, not [lacuna] being bap- [lacuna] tized. 31. To wh[lacuna] therefore shall I liken the men of this generation? And to whom are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace, who cry out to one another, saying: We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 33. John[lacuna] the Baptist came ne[lacuna] ting, ne[lacuna] drinking, a[lacuna] ye say: He hath a dem[lacuna]- on.

34. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and ye say: Behold a gluttonous man, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans. And wisdom is justified by all her children. 36. And a certain Pharisee besought him that he would eat with him. And entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined at table. [lacuna] And behold a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster flask of ointment: and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she watered them with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39. And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing this, said within himself: This man, if he were a Prophet, would surely know who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner. 40. And Jesus answering said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee.

And he said: Say it, Master. 41. There were two debtors to a certain creditor: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And they having nothing wherewith to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him more? 42. And Simon answering said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave more. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly. 44. And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath watered my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair. 45. Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, from the time she entered, hath not ceased kissing my feet. 46. Thou didst not anoint my head with oil: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. [lacuna] For which cause I say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven, because she hath loved much.

But he to whom less is forgiven, loveth less. [lacuna] And Jesus said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee. 49. And they that reclined at table together began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also? [lacuna] And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace.

And it came to pass afterward, that he himself went about through cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God: and the twelve disciples with him. And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits: Mary, who is called Magdalene, out of whom seven demons had gone, and Joanna the wife of Chuza the steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who also ministered to him of their substance. 4. And when a great multitude was gathering, and those who came to him from the cities, he spoke a parable: 5. Behold, he that soweth went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell beside the way, and was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it[lacuna]. And other fell upon a rock, and having sprung up it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7. And other fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. And other fell upon good and excellent ground, and sprang up and bore fruit a hundredfold.

And saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9. And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. 10. And he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 11. Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. And those beside the way are they who hear; then the devil cometh and taketh away the word from their heart, lest believing they should be saved. 13. And those upon the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy: and these have no root; who believe for a time, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns, these are they who hear the word, and going on their way are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.

15. But that in good ground: these are they who, hearing the word with a good heart, hold it fast, and bear fruit in patience. 16. Now no man lighteth a lamp and covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed, but setteth it upon a candlestick, that all who enter may see the light. 17. For nothing is hidden that shall not be made manifest: nor anything secret, save that it should be known and come to light. 18. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, even that which he thinketh he hath shall be taken from him. 19. And his mother and brethren came to him, but could not reach him for the crowd. And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 21. And he answering said to them: My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it.

22. Now it came to pass on one of those days: and he went up into a boat, he and his disciples, and he said to them: Let us cross over the lake. And they set out[lacuna]. And as they sailed, he fell asleep, and there came down a storm of wind upon the lake, and they were filling, and were in danger. 24. And the disciples came and awoke him, saying: Master, we perish. Then rising up, he rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased: and there was a calm. And he said to them: Where is your faith? [lacuna] and being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another: Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him? 26. And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is also over against Galilee.

27. And when he had gone ashore, there met him a man who had a demon for many times, and wore no garment, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs. 28. And seeing Jesus, he fell down before him, and crying out with a loud voice said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not. 29. For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him; and he was bound with chains and fetters, that he might be kept; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts. 30. And Jesus asked him: What is thy name? And he said: Legion: because many demons were 31. In him. And they besought[lacuna] him, that he would not command them to go into the abyss. 32. Now there was there a great herd of swine feeding; and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them.

And he permitted them. 33. And when the demons had gone out of the man, they entered into the swine; and the herd rushed headlong into the sea, and were drowned. And the herdsmen[lacuna] seeing it, fled and reported what had come to pass in the city and in the fields. 35. And they went out to see what had come to pass, and came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the demons had gone out, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid. 36. And those who had seen it told them how he who had been vexed by demons was healed. 37. And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasenes besought him to depart from them; for they were held by great fear. And he, going up into the boat, returned. 38. And the man from whom the demons had gone out besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus dismissed him, saying: 39.

Return to thy home, and tell how great things God hath done for thee. And he went away through all the city, proclaiming how great things Jesus had done for him. 40. Now it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received[lacuna] him[lacuna] for they were[lacuna] waiting for him. 41. And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him that he would come into his house. Because he had an only daughter of about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And it came to pass, as he went, the crowd[lacuna] thronged and pressed upon him, so that they were choking. Him. And a woman who had been in a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not be healed by any. Coming up behind him, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45. And Jesus, knowing that power had gone out from him, said: Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those who were with him said: Master, the multitudes press and throng thee, and sayest thou: Who touched me? 46. And he said: Someone touched me; for I perceived that power had gone out from me. 47. And when the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling, and falling down before him, declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she had been healed immediately. 48. And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace. 49. While he was yet speaking, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: [lacuna] thy daughter is dead, trouble him no further. 50. But Jesus, when he heard it, [lacuna] said [lacuna] to the girl's father: Fear not: only believe, and she shall live.

51. And when he came to the house, he suffered no man to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the girl. 52. And all were weeping and bewailing her. And he said: Weep not, for she is not dead, but sleepeth. 53. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54. But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Girl, arise. And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded that something be given her to eat. 56. And her parents were astonished, and he charged them that they should tell no man what had come to pass.

Est. And having called together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal. The sick. And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor scrip [lacuna] nor shoes, nor bread, nor money, nor have two tunics. 4. Into whatsoever house you shall enter, remain there, and from there depart. And whosoever shall not receive you, going out from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet [lacuna] for a testimony against them. And going out, they went about muni [lacuna] evangeli [lacuna] zing, and healing everywhere. 7. Now Herod the Tetrarch heard all the things that were done, and was amazed, because it was said 8. By some: That John was risen from the dead: but by others: That Elias had appeared [lacuna] and by others: That one of the old prophets was risen. He said au [lacuna] [lacuna] Joha [lacuna] nem [lacuna] I have beheaded.

But who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. 10. And the Apostles, returning, told him all the things they had done: and taking them, he withdrew apart into a desert place, which was called [lacuna] Bethsaida. [lacuna] But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and those [lacuna] who had need of healing, he healed. Bat. Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came near and said to him: Dismiss the crowd [lacuna], that, going into the neighbouring villages and farms, they may lodge and find food: for we are here in a desert place. 13. But he said to them: Give them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes: unless we go and buy food for all this. People. Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them recline per conquin [lacuna] no [lacuna] runt [lacuna] recu [lacuna] nt all.

16. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them [lacuna]; and broke, and gave to the disciples [lacuna], that they might set them before. The crowds. And they ate, and were filled. And there was taken up what remained to them, twelve baskets of fragments. 18. E [lacuna] um est, [lacuna] esset in [lacuna] reto, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, saying: Whom do the crowds say. That I am? And they answering, said: John the Baptist; but others Elias; and some, that one of the old prophets. Is risen. And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? And Peter answering, said: 21. The Christ. And when he had rebuked them, he charged them to tell this to no one. Saying: For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders, and the Chief Priests, and the Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.

And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and follow me. 24. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it. Wh [lacuna] enim pro [lacuna] it a man to gain the whole world, but lose himself, or suffer loss. For whosoever [lacuna] shall be ashamed of me, and [lacuna] this Son [lacuna] of man [lacuna] shall be ashamed [lacuna] when he shall come [lacuna] in his gl [lacuna] ry, and of the Fa [lacuna] ther, and of the Ho [lacuna] ly Angels. [lacuna] co autem vo- [lacuna] truly: there are [lacuna] some here [lacuna] standing, who shall not taste death, [lacuna] until they [lacuna] see the kingdom [lacuna] of God. And it. [lacuna] came to pass [lacuna] after these [lacuna] words, [lacuna] about [lacuna] after eight [lacuna] days, taking [lacuna] Peter, [lacuna] John, and [lacuna] James, he went up [lacuna] into the [lacuna] mountain, to 29. [lacuna] pray.

And it came [lacuna] to pass, while [lacuna] he was praying, the appearance of his countenance became other, and his garment white, shining brightly. And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias, appearing in glory: and they spoke of his departure, which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. 32. And Peter, and they who were with him, were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him. 33. And it came to pass as they were departing from him, Peter said: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. And as he was saying these things, a cloud came, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered. Into the cloud. And a voice came from the clou [lacuna] saying. [lacuna] Son. [lacuna] chosen; hear him. 36. And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.

And they held their peace, and told no one in those days anything of the things which they had seen. 37. And it came to pass [lacuna] on the next day, as they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met them. And behold a man from the [lacuna] crowd exc [lacuna] laimed, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my. Only child: and behold a spirit seizes him suddenly, and he falls, and it tears him with foaming, and hardly departs [lacuna] from him, bruising. Him: and [lacuna] I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not. 41. And Jesus answering, said: O faithless generation; how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy. Son. And while he was yet coming near, the evil spirit dashed him down, and tore him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and restored him to his father.

44. And all were amazed at the majesty of God: and while all were marvelling at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay up in your ears these words: For the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this word; and it was hidden from them, that they should not understand it, and they feared to ask him about this word. And there entered a thought among them, which of them should be the greatest. 47. But Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, taking a child, set him beside. Himself, and said: Whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him who sent me. For he who is least among you all, he is great. 49. And John answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him; because he followeth not with us.

50. And Jesus said to him: Let him alone, and forbid him not; for he who is not against you is for you: for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able to speak evil of me. 51. And it came to pass, when the days of his reception were being fulfilled, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52. And he sent messengers before his face, and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, as if to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire come down from heaven upon them, and consume them, as Elias did? 55. And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are. 56. The Son of man came not to destroy the souls of men, but to save them. And they went to another village.

And it came to pass, as they were going on the way, a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said to him: Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests where they may rest; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my. Father. But he said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but thou go; and announce the kingdom of God. 61. And another also said: I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to go and take leave of those who are in my house. 62. And Jesus said to him: No man looking back, and putting his hand to the plough, is fit for the kingdom of God. 2. The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest.

3. Behold I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4. Carry no purse; no scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. Into whatsoever house you shall enter first, say: Peace be to this house. 6. And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest [lacuna] upon him; but if not, it shall return upon you. 7. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as are set before you by them; for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. 8. And into whatsoever city [lacuna] you shall enter, and they shall recei-

No Dei. And he chose also other seventy-two, and sent them two by two before his face, into every place and city, where he was about to come. And he said to them: The harvest is great; but the labourers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of ve you, eat what [lacuna] is set before you, and heal those who are sick in it, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 10. But into whatsoever city you shall enter, and they receive you not, going out into the streets thereof. Say [lacuna]: Even the dust [lacuna] which [lacuna] ad [lacuna] to us from your city on our feet, we shake off against you: yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. But I say unto you: It shall be more tolerable for Sodom in the kingdom than for that city.

13. Woe to thee Corozain, and Bed [lacuna] da; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that have been done in you, they would long ago perhaps sitting in ashes and sackcloth, have done. Penance. Nevertheless it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. 15. And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted even unto heaven? [lacuna] thou shalt be thrust down even to hell. Ris. He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me, and him who sent me. But he that heareth me, heareth him who sent me. 17. And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, even the demons are subject to us in thy. Name. And he said to them: I saw [lacuna] Satan, like lightning falling from 19. [lacuna] heaven. Behold [lacuna] [lacuna] power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: nothing shall hurt you.

But in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you: but rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 21. In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said [lacuna]: I confess [lacuna] to thee, Lord [lacuna] of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father; for so it hath seemed good before thee. 22. All things have been delivered to me by the Father. And no one knows who the Father is, except the Son; and to whomsoever the Son shall have willed, he has revealed him. 23. And turning to the disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24. For I say to you, that many Prophets desired to see what you see, and did not see it. 25. And behold a certain doctor of the Law arose, tempting him, [lacuna] saying: Master, what shall I do to possess eternal life? And he said to him: In the Law, what is written?

How do you read? Who answering, said: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with all your strength: and you shall love your neighbour as yourself. 28. But he said to him: You have answered rightly: do this, and you shall live. 29. But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? 30. But Jesus taking up the word, said: A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers who, stripping him and laying blows upon him, departed, leaving him half-dead. 31. By chance a certain Priest was going down by that road, and seeing him, passed by. 32. Likewise also a Levite, when he passed through the same place, and had seen him, passed by. 33. But a certain Samaritan making a journey, came by him, and seeing him, had compassion.

34. And he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and placing him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the next day he brought out two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him: Take diligent care of him; and whatsoever you shall spend beyond this, I, when I return, will repay you. 36. Which of these seems to have been the neighbour of him who fell among robbers? 37. And he said: He who showed mercy toward him. But Jesus said to him: You have answered rightly: go, and you do likewise. 38. Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house: 39. And she had a sister, who was called Mary; who, when she had sat down at the feet of the Lord, was listening to his word. But Martha was troubled about much serving.

And standing by, she said: Lord, does it not concern you, that my sister has left me alone to serve? Say therefore to her, that she help. Me. But answering, the Lord said to her: Martha, Mar42. Tha, Mary has chosen for herself the best part, which shall not be taken away

From her. And it came to pass when he himself was in a certain place praying; and, when he had ceased, a certain one of his disciples said: Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples. 2. But he said to them: When you pray, say: Holy Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. Give us our daily bread today. And forgive us our sins, as we ourselves also forgive all our debtors. And lead us not [lacuna] I will lay upon him, and he de[lacuna] answering from within, said[lacuna]. Ing, will give him[lacuna] as many as he de[lacuna]red. [lacuna] to you [lacuna] if he shall ask for a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpen[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] if he ask[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] the father, who bore you, and the breasts which you sucked: Who said to her: Blessed rather are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.

29. But as the crowd was gathering, he began to say: This generation, this generation is wicked: it seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, except the sign of Jonas. 30. For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation: and as Jonas was in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man also be in the earth. The Queen of the South shall rise in judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; who takes yet seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and entering in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. 27. Now it came to pass, as he was saying these things, a certain woman lifting up her voice said to him: Blessed the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked. And she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and behold here is one greater than Solomon.

32. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this gen[lacuna]eration, and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas: and behold here is one greater than Jonas. 33. No one lights a lamp and puts it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel, but upon a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. 34. The lamp of your body is your eye[lacuna]. If your eye[lacuna] be single, your whole body is full of light: but if your eye be evil, your body also will be in darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great are the darkness[lacuna]es? 37. Now as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined. But the Pharisee began, thinking within himself, to say that he had not first been baptized.

39. But the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees, whether you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish: but that which is within you[lacuna]rs is full of plunder and wickedness? 40. Fools, did not he who made the inside also make the outside? But as for what remains, give alms: and behold all things are clean to you. 42. But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. These things ought to be done, and those not to be left undone. 43. Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the first seats in the Synagogues, and salutations in the marketplace. 44. Woe to you, because you are tomb[lacuna] that are not marked, and men walking over them do not know it. 45. But a certain one of the doctors of the Law answering, said to him: Master, in saying these things, you insult. Us also.

Who said: And woe to you doctors of the Law, because you load men with burdens insupportable, and you yourselves touch not those burdens with one of your fingers. 47. Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the Prophets: but your Fathers killed. Them. Therefore you bear witness, not consenting to the works of your Fathers; because they indeed kill[lacuna]ed them, but you build. 49. Therefore also the wisdom of God says: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute: 50. That the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation. From the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea, I say to you: it shall be required of this generation. 52. Woe to you doctors of the Law, because you have hidden the key of knowledge, and you yourselves have not entered, and those who were entering, you have hindered.

53. But as he was saying these things before all the people, the Scribes as well as the doctors of the Law began to be ill-disposed, and to threaten him about many things. Seeking to find some occasion from him, that they might accuse him.

But a great crowd. [lacuna] tinen. [lacuna] um in. [lacuna] so that. [lacuna] another. [lacuna] they trod upon one another, he began to say to the disciples: First beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is affectation. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed, and hidden that shall not co[lacuna]me[lacuna] to light. 3. Wha[lacuna] in the darkness[lacuna] you have said, in the li[lacuna]ght it shall be[lacuna] heard; and what you have spoken[lacuna] in the ear[lacuna] in inner chambers, shall be proclaimed upon. The housetop[lacuna]. I say to you, as to friends: be not afraid of those who kill, and after this have nothing more that they can do. 5. But I will show you whom you shall fear: him, who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. I say to you, fear him. 6. Are not five sparrows sold for a farthing? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are worth much more than sparrows. 8. I say to you: Everyone, whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man also shall confess him before the Angels of God: 9. But he who shall deny me before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God. And everyone who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he who shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him. 11. But when they shall bring you before the Synagogues, and Rulers, and Powers, be not solicitous how you shall answer, or what you shall say: 12. For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that same hour what you ought to say. 13. But a certain one of the crowd said to him: Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

14. Who said to him: Man, who [lacuna] [lacuna] between you [lacuna]? [lacuna] but [lacuna] beware of all covetousness; because not in the abundance of anything does a man's life consist, from his possessions. And he spoke a parable to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plentiful fruits: and he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have nowhere to gather my fruits? And thinking, he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns; and I will build greater ones; and there I will gather all my fruits. And say[lacuna] to my soul: You have many good things; make merry. But God said to him: Fool, this night they require your soul from you: the things therefore which you have prepared, whose shall they be? 22. But he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you: be not solicitous for your soul, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.

The soul is worth more than food; and the body more than clothing. 24. Consider the ravens, because they neither [lacuna] nor [lacuna]; who[lacuna] there is no cel[lacuna]lar, [lacuna] [lacuna] and God fee[lacuna]ds[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] can[lacuna] add to his stat[lacuna]ure one cubit? And as for the rest, why are you solicitous? 27. Consider the lilies of the field, how they neither weave, nor spin: I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed[lacuna] like[lacuna] one of these. 28. But if the grass[lacuna] today[lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] is clothed; how much more you of little. Faith? And do not seek what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: be not solicitous. 30. For all these things the nations of the world seek after. For your Father knows that you have need of all these things. 31. But seek his kingdom; and all these things shall be added to you.

32. Fear not, little flock; because it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. 33. Sell your goods; and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure that does not fail in heaven, where no thief approaches, nor moth destroys. 34. For where your treasure shall be, there also will your heart be. 35. And let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning; and you like men awaiting their Lord, when he shall return from the wedding: and when he shall come and shall knock, let them straightway open to him. 37. Blessed are those servants whom, when the Lord shall come, he shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he shall gir[lacuna] himself, and shall make[lacuna] them recline; and passing by, [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna]

Now there came at that same time certain ones, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their. Sacrifices. And answering, he said to them: Do you think that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans. [lacuna] because they suffered such things? 3. No, I say to you: unless you do penance, you shall all likewise perish. 4. As also those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they themselves were debtors above all the men dwelling in Jerusalem? 5. No, I say to you: but, unless you all do penance, you shall likewise perish. Now he spoke a parable to them: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came, seeking fruit on it, and found none. And he said to the keeper of the vineyard: behold it is three years since I come, seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none: cut it down therefore: why does it also occupy the ground?

8. Who [lacuna] [lacuna] said [lacuna] Lord, if [lacuna] it and this year, until I dig around it, and put a basket of dung: 9. And if indeed it shall bear fruit ce [lacuna] otherwise in future you shall cut [lacuna] Now there was [lacuna] teaching in S [lacuna] nagog [lacuna], bath. And behold a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] nem. 12. Whom, when Jesus had seen, he called her, and said to her: Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity. 13. And he laid [lacuna] hands; and suddenly she was erect- [lacuna] ed, and hono- [lacuna] red God. [lacuna] en [lacuna] but the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, said to the crowd, that he healed on the sabbath [lacuna] Six day [lacuna] nt, in which it is necessary to work: in these therefore, coming, be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.

15. But answering him the Lord, said: Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox, or his ass from the manger, and lead it, and water it? 16. But this woman, since she is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? 17. As he said these things, all were put to shame, who opposed him; and all the people rejoiced in all the wonderful things, which were done by him. 18. He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard; which a man took, and put in his garden; and it grew, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven rested in its branches. 20. And again he said: To what is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compar [lacuna]?

21. It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in flour, until it was leavened. 22. And he went about through cities and villages, teaching toward Jerusalem. 23. Now a certain one said to him: Lord, are there few who are to be saved? Who said to 24. Them: Enter through the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek, and shall not be able to enter. 25. But when the master of the house shall have entered, and shut the door, you shall begin to stand outside, saying: Lord, open to us: and answering, he shall say: I know not whence you are: 26. Then you shall begin to say: We ate before you, and drank; and in our streets you taught. 27. And he shall say to you: I know not whence you are: depart from me all you workers of iniquity.

There shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth: when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets of God entering into the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast out. 29. And they shall come from the East, and the West, and from the North, and the South; and shall recline in the kingdom of God. And behold there are last, who shall be first; and there are first, who were last. 31. On the same day certain of the Pharisees came near, saying to him: Depart, and go hence; for Herod wishes to 32. Kill you. But he said to them: Go, tell that fox: Behold I cast out demons, and I perform healings today, and tomorrow, and on the third day I am perfected. But I must go today, and tomorrow, and hereafter; for it is not fitting that a Prophet should perish outside Jerusalem.

34. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the Prophets, and stones those who are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children, as a hen her brood under her wings, and you would not! 35. Behold your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, that you shall not see me, until the day come, when you shall say: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

And it came to pass, when he had entered into the house of a certain ruler of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat bread, and there were those watching him. 2. And behold a certain dropsical man was before him. 3. And answering, Jesus said to the doctors of the Law, and to the Pharisees: is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? 4. But they were silent. He therefore taking his hand, healed him and sent him away. 5. And he said to them: Which of you, if his ass, or ox shall have fallen into a pit on the sabbath, will not immediately draw it out on the day 6. Of the sabbath? And they were not able to answer him concerning these things. 7. Now he also spoke a parable to those who were invited, noting how they chose the first places at table, saying to them: 8.

When anyone is invited to a wedding, let him not recline in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honorable than you be invited, and he who invited you, and him, coming, say to you: Give this man your place; and then you shall begin with shame to take the last place. 10. But when you are invited, go, and recline in the last place; so that, when he who invited you comes, he may say: Friend, come up higher. Then there shall be glory for you before those reclining at table;. For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted. 12. Now he also said to the one who had invited him: When you make a dinner, and a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor even your neighbors, nor the rich; lest perhaps they also invite you, and a repayment be made to you: 13. But, when you make a dinner, invite the poor, the maimed, [lacuna] the lame.

And the blind: and you shall be blessed, because they have not wherewith to repay you; for it shall be repaid to you in the resurrection of the just. 15. Now a certain one of those reclining at table, hearing these things, said to him: Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16. Who said: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many;. And he sent his servant at the hour of supper, to say to those invited: come, for all things are pre18. Pared. And they all began si [lacuna] to excuse themselves. The first said: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray you, hold me excused. 19. And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them; and on this account I cannot come. 20. And another said: I have married a wife; and I cannot come. Re. And the servant returning, reported these things to his master.

Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into [lacuna] toa [lacuna] cos [lacuna] tis; and the poor, and the maim [lacuna] ed, and the blind [lacuna] the lame in [lacuna] bring here. [lacuna] ser [lacuna] ant D [lacuna] os [lacuna]: Lord, it is done, as you commanded, and there is yet room. And the Lord said to his servant: Go out along the roads, and hedges; and compel all whom you find to enter, that my house. May be filled [lacuna] for I say [lacuna] to you, that none of those men, who [lacuna] were called, and did not come, shall taste of my supper. 25. Now a great crowd was accompanying him; and turning he said to them: 26. If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, or mother, or wife, or children, or brothers, and sisters, and moreover his own life, he cannot be my disciple. To be. And he who does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple to be.

28. Which of you wishing to build a tower, does he not first sit down and reckon the cost, whether he has what is needed to complete it? Lest, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to complete it, all who see it say: This man began to build, and was not able to complete it. 31. Or what King going to engage another King in battle, does he not first sit down and consider, whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him, who with twenty thousand is coming against him? 32. Otherwise, while he is yet far off, sending an embassy, he asks for peace. So therefore every one of you, who does not renounce all his possessions, cannot be my disciple. 34. Salt is good: but if the salt also shall have lost its savor, with what. Shall it be seasoned? It is useful neither in nor in dung the earth, to be cast outside. He who has ears to hear

Di, audiat. Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near to him to hear him. And the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying: Why does this man receive sinners, and eat with them? 3. But he spoke to them this parable, saying: 4. What man among you, who has a hundred sheep, and if one of them has perished, does he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after the one that is lost, seeking it until he finds it? 5. And when he has found it, he lays it upon his shoulders, rejoicing: 6. And when he has come home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. 7. I say to you, that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner doing penance, more than over ninety-nine just persons who have no need of penance.

8. Or what woman, having ten drachmas, and if she has lost one of them, does she not light a lamp, and sweep the house with brooms, and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me; because I have found the drachma which I had lost. 10. So I say to you, there will be joy before the Angels of God over one sinner doing penance. 11. He said therefore: A certain man had two sons, and the younger said to him: Father, give me the portion of the substance that falls to me. And he divided the substance between them. 13. And not many days after, having gathered everything together, the younger son set out on a journey into a far country; and there he squandered his substance, living riotously. 14. And when he had consumed everything, there came [lacuna] a great famine throughout that region; and he himself began. To be in want.

And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that region: who sent him into his field to feed swine. 16. And he longed to fill his belly with the husks that the swine were eating; and no one. Gave him anything. But coming to himself, he said: How many hired servants of my father abound in bread; but I here am perishing with hunger. 18. I will arise, and go to my father, and will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before. Thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20. And rising up, he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him; and was moved with compassion, and running, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants: Quickly bring forth the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet, and bring that fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and feast; because this my son was dead, and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to feast. 25. Now his elder son was in the field: and when he came, he drew near to the house, and heard music and. Dancing; and he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27. Who said to him: because thy brother is come, and thy father has killed that fatted calf; because he has received him safe and sound. 28. But he was angry, and would not go in. And his father going out, began to entreat him.

29. But he answering, said to his father: Behold, so many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed thy commandment, and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might feast with my friends. 30. But when this thy son, who has devoured all his substance living with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him that fatted calf. 31. But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and art; and all that is mine is thine: 32. But it was fitting that we should feast and rejoice, [lacuna] because this thy brother was dead, and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.

And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and this man had been accused before him, as though he were squandering his goods. 2. And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for thou canst no longer administer my affairs. But that steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord will take the stewardship from me? I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4. I have found out [lacuna] what I shall do; so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me [lacuna] into their houses. 5. And having called together each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? 6. Who said: A hundred baths of ol. [lacuna] [lacuna] And he said to him: Take thy bond; and sitting down, quickly write fifty. 7. Then he said to another: And thou, how much dost thou owe my lord?

Who said: A hundred cors of wheat. And he said also [lacuna] to this one: Take thy bond, and [lacuna] write eighty. And the lord praised the steward of iniquity, bec. [lacuna] he had acted prudently [lacuna] But he said to. [lacuna] pu. [lacuna] [lacuna] I say to you. [lacuna] the children of this world are more prudent than the children of light in their generation. 9. And I say to you: Make for yourselves friends of the mammon of iniquity [lacuna]; so that, when it shall fail you, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 10. He that is faithful [lacuna] in a very little, is also faithful in much: and he that is unjust in a very little, is also unjust in much. 11. If therefore you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon, who will give you that which is your own? 12. And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will trust you with that which is yours? 13. No servant can serve two masters.

For either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will endure the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 14. Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they derided him. 15. And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men: but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men is an abomination before the sight of God. 16. The Law and the Prophets until [lacuna] John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses toward it. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail. 18. Every one who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and he who marries a woman put away by her husband, commits adultery. 19. There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and he feasted splendidly every day.

20. And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who lay at the gate of that rich man, full of sores;. And he longed to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: but also the dogs coming, licked his sores. 22. And it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died, and was buried in hell. 23. And lifting up his eyes in hell, when he was in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom;. And he himself crying out, said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this. Flame. But Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm of earth confirmed; so that they who would pass from here to you cannot, nor can any cross from there to here. 27. But he said to him: I beseech thee therefore, Father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house. 28. For I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29. And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the Prophets: let them hear. Them. But he said: No, Father Abraham; but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance. 31. But he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the Prophets; neither will they believe, if one rise from the dead and go to them.

But he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but nevertheless woe to him through whom. They come. But it were better for him that he had never been born, or that a millstone had been put about his neck, and he had been cast into the sea; than that he should scandalize one of these little ones. 3. Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him: and if he do penance, forgive him. And if he sin seven times in a day against thee, and seven times turn back to thee, saying: I do penance: forgive him. 5. And the Apostles said to the Lord: Increase our. Faith. To whom he said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea: and it would have obeyed you.

7. But which of you, having a servant ploughing, or feeding the sheep, who, when he is come back from the field, will immediately say to him: Go, and. Sit down: but will say to him: Prepare what I shall sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, while I eat and drink, and. Afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank the servant; because he did the things that were commanded. Him? So also you, when you have done the things that are commanded, say: We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which we ought to do. 11. And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee, and Jericho. And as he entered into a certain village, behold ten men that were lepers stood. Afar off; and they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus Master, have mercy on us. And when he heard them, he said to them: Go, shew yourselves to the Priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.

15. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;. And he fell on his face at his feet, giving grati[lacuna] thanks; and he was a Samaritan. 17. And Jesus answering, said: These ten were cleansed: where are the nine? 18. There is no one found among them who returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said to him: Arise, and go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole. 20. And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God [lacuna] would come, he said to them: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For behold the kingdom of God is within you. 22. And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you shall not see it. And they will say to you: Behold here, or behold there. Go not, nor follow.

24. For as lightning flashing, so shall the Son of man be. But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. 26. And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28. Likewise also as it came to pass in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built: 29. They built: in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30. In like manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man shall be revealed.

31. In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner let him not return back. 32. Remember Lot's wife. 33. Whosoever therefore shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose it, shall save it. 34. For I say to you, in that night there shall be two in one bed; one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: 35. There shall be two women grinding together; one shall be left, and the other shall be taken: two in the field; one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 36. And they answering, said to him: Where, Lord? 37. Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles gather together.

And he spoke a parable to them, because they ought always to pray, and not. To faint, saying: There was a certain judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor reve-. Renced man. And there was a certain widow in the same city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adver-. Sary. And he was unwilling for a time. But after these things he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor reverence man: 5. Yet because this widow is a trouble to me, I will avenge her, lest by coming continually she wear me out. 6. And the Lord said: Hear what the judge of iniquity. Says: And will not God make the vengeance of his elect who cry to him day and night, having patience. In them? I say to you, that he will make their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, think you he will find faith upon the earth?

9. And he spoke also to certain who trusted in themselves, as though they were just, and despised others, this parable: 10. Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Publican, and the other a Pharisee. The Pharisee therefore standing, prayed these things within himself: God, I give thee thanks, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also this Publican: I fast twice in the sabbath: I give tithes of all things whatsoever I possess. 13. And the Publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven; but struck his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner. 14. I say to you, that this man went down justified to his house above that Pharisee: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 15. And they brought to him also infants, that he might touch them. And the disciples seeing it, rebuked them.

16. But Jesus commanded them, saying: Suffer the infants to come to me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 17. Amen I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it. 18. And a certain man asked him, saying: Good Master, what shall I do to possess eternal life? 19. And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one. God. Thou knowest the commandments. He said: Which? Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and thy mother. Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth. 22. Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. 23. Who, when he had heard these things, was made sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24. And when Jesus saw him made sorrowful, he said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man into the kingdom of God. 26. And they that heard said: And who can be. Saved? And he said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God. 28. And Peter said: Behold we, having left all our own things, have followed. Thee. Who said to them: Amen I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdom of God, who. Shall not receive sevenfold as much in this time; and in the world to come shall possess life everlasting. 31. And having called together the twelve disciples, he said to them: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which are written by the Prophets concerning the Son of man.

32. For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shall be spat upon; and having scourged him they shall kill him, and on the third day 34. He shall rise again. And they understood none of these things; but the word was hidden from them; and they understood not the things that were said to them. 35. And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging. 36. Who, when he heard the multitude passing by, asked what. This might be. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth. Was passing by. And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy. On me. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. 40. And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought to him. And when he drew near[lacuna]he asked. Him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee?

Who said: That I may see. And answering, Jesus said to him: Look up, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he began to see; and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

And entering in, he went through Jericho. And behold a man named Zacchaeus: and he was the chief of the Publicans: and he himself was 3. Wealthy, and sought to see Jesus, who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was short of stature. 4. And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass by that way. 5. And it came to pass as Jesus passed by, he saw him; and looking up, said to him: Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for this day I must abide in thy house. 6. And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy. 7. And when all saw it, they murmured, that he had gone in to abide with a sinful man. 8. But Zacchaeus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, the half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

9. And Jesus said to them: Because this day salvation is come to this house; for that he also is a son. Of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to save and to seek that which was lost. 11. And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable; because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested. 12. He said therefore: A certain man, a householder, went into a far country, to receive a kingdom, and to return. 13. And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come. 14. But his citizens hated him; and they sent an embassy after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us. 15. And it came to pass, when he returned having received the kingdom, he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money; that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16. And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17. And he said to him: Well done, good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities. 18. And another came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath made five other pounds. 19. He said also to this one: And thou, be thou over five cities having power. 20. And another came, saying: Lord, behold thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21. For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down; and thou reapest what thou didst not sow. 22. He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow;. And why then didst thou not give my money to the bank, that at my coming I might have exacted it with usury?

24. And to them that stood by he said: Take away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25. And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds. 26. I say to you: To every one that hath, it shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. 27. But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them in my sight. 28. And having said these things, he went on, going up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethania at the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, saying: Go into the village over against; in which as you enter, you shall find an ass, with a colt tied, upon which no man hath sat: loose her, and bring her. 31. And if any man 3 shall ask you: Why do you loose her?

You shall say to him: Because the Lord hath need of her. 32. And they that were sent went their way, and found the ass standing, as he had told them. 33. And as they were loosing the ass with the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose ye. The colt? They said: Because it is necessary for its Lord. 35. And they brought him to Jesus. And laying their garments upon the colt, they set Jesus thereon. 36. And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. 37. And as he was now drawing near to the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: blessed is the King: peace in heaven, and glory. And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him: Master, rebuke. Them.

Who said to them: I say to you, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. 41. And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: For if thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace, they were hidden from 43. Thine eyes: for the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall beat thee to the ground, and thy children that are in thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone; because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation. 45. And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; and he overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves. Saying to them: It is written: My house is a house of prayer.

But you have made it a den of thieves. 47. And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests, and the Scribes, and the chief men of the people sought to destroy him;. And they found not what to do. For all the people were hanging upon him, hearing him.

And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming, the Chief Priests and Scribes stood by, together with the Elders, saying: Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? And: Who is it that gave you this authority? 3. But answering, he said to them: I also will ask you a question;. And answer me: 3 Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? 5. And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because if we say: From heaven: he will say to us: Why then did you not believe. Him? And if we say: From men: all the people will stone us; for they know that John was a Prophet. 7. And they answered that they did not know. Whence. And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I. Do these things. And he began to speak this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and himself went abroad for a long time.

And at a certain time he sent a servant to those tenants, that they might give him of the fruit of the vineyard [lacuna] And having beaten him, they sent him away. Empty. And he proceeded to send another servant. And him also they beat and sent away empty. And he proceeded to send a third. And him they wounded and cast out. 13. But the Lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my most dear son: perhaps they will reverence him. [lacuna] When the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours. And having cast him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others. When they heard this, they said: God forbid. And he, looking upon them, said: What then is this that is written?

The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner. Everyone who shall stumble upon that stone shall be shattered; but upon whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 19. And the Chief Priests and Scribes sought to lay hands on him at that same hour, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. 20. And when they had departed, they sent spies who feigned themselves to be just, that they might catch his words, so as to deliver him to the authority of the Governor of the Presidency. Dis. And they questioned him, saying: Master, we know that you speak truly, and do not accept the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. 22. Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 23. Perceiving their wickedness, he said to them: Why do you tempt me? 24. Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it bear? They answered and said: 25. Caesar's.

He says: Render (to Caesar) the things that are Caesar's, to Caesar; and the things that are God's, to God. 26. And they could not catch his word before the people: and marvelling at his answer, they were silent. 27. And certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came forward and questioned. Him, saying: Master, Moses wrote to us, if a man's brother die having a wife, and this man have no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother. 29. There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died [lacuna] without children. And the next took her, and he also died without children. The third likewise, (and) also the seven; and they left no child, and died. 32. But also the woman. Er [lacuna] In the resurrection, whose wife shall she be? [lacuna] For seven had her as wife.

34. Jesus said to them: The children of this age beget and are begotten, they marry and are given in marriage; but those who shall be counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor [lacuna] are given in marriage: [lacuna] for neither shall they die any more; for they are equal to the Angels of God, being children of the resurrection. [lacuna] But that the dead rise, Moses showed you: he speaks concerning the bush: The Lord God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all of them live. 39. And certain of the Scribes answering, said: Master, you have spoken well. And they dared no longer to ask him anything. 41. And he said to them: How do they say that Christ is the Son of David?

42. And David himself says in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a footstool for your feet. 44. David calls him Lord: and how is he his Son? 45. And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples: 46. Beware of the Scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplace, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and the chief places at feasts. 47. Who devour the houses of widows, making a pretence of long prayer. These shall receive greater punishment.

And Jesus looking up, saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury. 2. He also saw a certain poor widow casting in two mites. And he said: Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all. 4. For all these, out of what was above their need, cast into the gifts of God: but she out of her want cast in all the means she had. 5. And as some were speaking of the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful and goodly stones, he said: 6. These things which you see: the days will come in which there shall not be left stone upon stone in this wall that shall not be thrown down. 7. And they questioned him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what sign, when these things begin to come to pass? And he said: Take heed that you be not led astray: for many will come in my name, saying that I am he, and that the time has drawn near: do not follow after them.

9. And when you hear of wars and commotions; be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass, but the end will not be. Immediately. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11. And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and pestilences, and famines; and terrors from heaven, and great signs shall there be. And winters. But before all these things they will lay their hands upon you, and will persecute you, and deliver you up in Synagogues and prisons; and you shall be brought before Kings for the sake of my name, that it may be for a testimony to you. 14. Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how you shall give. Your answer: for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all those who oppose you shall not be able to resist.

And you shall be delivered up also by parents, and kinsmen, and friends: and they will put some of you to death; and you shall be hated by all for the sake of my name;. And a hair of your head shall not perish. In your endurance you shall possess your souls. 20. But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation [lacuna] has drawn near. Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the regions not enter into her: 22. For these are the days of judgment; that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Woe to those with child, and to those who give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress upon the earth, and wrath upon this people: and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the nations, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and moon, and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in bewilderment at the sound of the sea;. And waves, men fainting from fear, and expectation of the things coming upon the world: for the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 27. Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and glory. 28. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draws near. 29. And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; when they bud of themselves, you know that summer is near. So also you, when you see these things, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32. Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass away, until all things come to pass. Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words 2 shall not pass away.

34. But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with revelry and drunkenness, and the cares of this life; and that day come upon you suddenly. As a snare: for it shall come in upon all those who dwell upon the face of all the Earth. 36. But watch at all times praying, that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are to come; and you shall stand before the Son of Man. And he was in the temple by day teaching; but by night he went out and remained on the mount which is called Olivet. 38. And all the people rose early to him in the temple, to hear him.

Now the feast day of Unleavened Bread, which is called 2. The Passover, was drawing near: and the Chief Priests and Scribes were seeking how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 3. But Satan entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, one of the number 4. Of the twelve. And he went away, and spoke with the Chief Priests and Scribes, as to how he might betray him. And they were glad, and promised to give him money. 6. And he sought an opportunity to betray him without a crowd. 7. But the day of the Passover came: 8. And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, prepare for us the Passover to eat. They said to him: Where do you wish us to prepare?

But he said to them: Behold, as you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you: follow him into the house into which he enters; and you shall say to the master of the house: The Master says to you: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? 12. And he will show you a large upper room spread: there prepare. 13. And going, they found it as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 14. And when the hour was come, he reclined; and the Apostles with. Him. And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you, before. I suffer. For I say to you, that I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17. And, taking the cup, he gave thanks, saying: Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18. For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God comes.

19. And, taking bread, he gave thanks, and broke it and gave it to them, saying: This. My Body Yet behold the hand of my betrayer is with me upon the table. 22. The Son of man indeed goes according to what has been determined. But woe to that man through whom. He is betrayed. And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it might be, who was going to do this. 24. But there arose a contention among them, which of them was the greatest. 25. And he said to them: The kings of the nations lord it over them; and those who exercise power over them are called benefactors. 26. But you not so; but let him who is greatest among you become as the least, and he who is chief, as he who serves. For who is greater, he who reclines, or he who serves? Among the nations indeed, he who reclines; but among you not so, but he who serves. But I am in the midst of you, as he who serves.

But you are those who have remained with me in my trials: and I appoint to you, as my Father has appointed to me a kingdom. That you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. But the Lord said to Peter: Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded you, that he might sift you as wheat. 32. But I have prayed for you, that your faith might not fail: and you, when at last you have turned, strengthen your brothers: and pray, that you enter not into temptation. But Peter said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with you both into prison and into death. To go. Who [lacuna] I say to you, Peter, the cock will not crow today, before you deny me three times. 35. And he said to them: When I sent you without purse, and wallet, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said: Nothing.

He said therefore: But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a wallet; and he who has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. 37. For I say to you, that this also which is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And he was reckoned among the unjust. For the things concerning me have their. End. And he said: Lord, behold two swords here. Who said to him: It is enough. 39. And going out, he went according to his custom to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. His And when he was in that place, he said to them: Pray, that you enter not into temptation. 41. And he himself was withdrawn from them, about a stone's throw; and, kneeling down. He prayed, saying: Father, not my will, but yours be done: take this cup from me. 43. But an Angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And he was in agony; and he prayed more. Earnestly.

And his sweat became as drops of blood running down upon the ground. 45. And, rising from prayer, he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow. 46. And he said to them: Why do you sleep? Rise, pray, that you enter not into temptation. 47. And, while he was yet speaking, behold a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them: and drawing near, he kissed. Jesus. But Jesus said: Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss? 49. But those who were around him, seeing what was about to happen, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with. The sword? And a certain one of them struck the servant of the Chief Priest, and cut off his right ear. 51. But Jesus said to him: Let it be even thus. And stretching out his hand, he touched him; and his ear was made whole.

52. But Jesus said to those who had come out against him, the Chief Priests, and the officers of the temple, and the Elders: Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs? When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54. And having seized him they led him into the house of the Chief Priest. But Peter followed at a distance. 55. And when a fire had been kindled in the middle of the courtyard, and they had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. 56. And when a certain maidservant saw him, looking at him, she said: This man also was with those who were with him. 57. And he denied, saying: Woman, I do not know. Him. And as he went out to the gate another saw him; and said [lacuna] were: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied with an oath.

59. And a little later when a certain man saw him, he said: Truly this man also was with Jesus; for he is also a Galilean. 60. But Peter said: Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed. 61. And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord as he said to him: Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times that you know me. 63. And the men who held him mocked him. 64. And, covering his face, they struck him; and they questioned him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck you? 65. And many other things they said 66. Blaspheming against him. And when day had dawned, the Elders of the people, the Chief Priests, and the Scribes assembled; and they led him into their Council; and they questioned him, saying: If you are the Christ, tell us? 67. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not.

Believe: if I ask, you will not answer, nor will you release me. But from now on the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. 70. And all said to him: Are you the Son of God? But he said to them: You say it, because. Who said: What further need have we of testimony? For we have heard it from his own mouth.

And the whole multitude of them rising up, led him to Pilate. 2. And they began to accuse him, saying: We found this man perverting the nation [lacuna] trib[lacuna] to give to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. But Pilate questioned him, saying: Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him: You say it. 4. But Pilate said to the Chief Priests and the crowd: I find no fault in this man. 5. But they grew more urgent, saying: He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to here. 6. But Pilate, when he heard Galilee, asked whether this man were from Galilee. 7. And when he learned that he was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also in Jerusalem in those days. 8. But Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad: for he had been desiring to see him, because he had often heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him.

9. And he questioned him with many words. But he answered him nothing. But the Chief Priests stood by, vehemently accusing. Him. But Herod with his soldiers despised him, and mocking him clothed him in a white robe, and sent him back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that same day: for before they had been at enmity. 13. But Pilate, calling together the Chief Priests and the rulers of the people, said to them: You have brought this man to me, as one who perverts the people: and behold I, examining him before you, have found nothing worthy in this man of those things of which you accuse. Him. Nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him, and behold nothing worthy of death has been done by him. 16. I will therefore chastise him and release him. 18. But the whole people cried out, saying: Away with this man, but release to us Barabbas.

Who had been thrown into prison on account of a certain sedition made in the city, because he had committed murder. 20. But Pilate again addressed them, wishing to release. Jesus. But they cried out, saying: Crucify. Him. But he said to them a third time: For what evil has this man done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. I will therefore chastise him and release him. 23. But they pressed with loud voices, demanding: crucify him: and their voices prevailed. 24. And Pilate decreed that their petition. Should be granted. And he released him who had been thrown into prison for murder and sedition; but Jesus he delivered up to their will. 26. And as they led him away, they laid hold of a certain Simon of Cyrene coming from the country, and laid upon him the cross to carry after 27. Jesus. And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who were beating themselves and lamenting.

28. And turning to them, he said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children;. For the days will come, in which they shall say: Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not given suck. 30. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains: Fall upon us: and to the hills: Cover. Us: for if they do these things in the green wood, what shall be done in the dry? 32. And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death. 33. And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they crucified him and the malefactors, one indeed on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34. And dividing his garments, they cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying within themselves: He saved others; let him save himself, if this be Christ the elect of God.

36. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar. And saying: If thou be the King of the Jews, save thyself. And there was also a superscription written over him: This is the King of the Jews. 39. And one of those malefactors who were hanged blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40. But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said to Jesus: Remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43. And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in Paradise. And it was about the sixth hour; and there was darkness over all the earth; and until the ninth hour. The sun was darkened; and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

And Jesus crying out with a loud voice: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And he gave up the ghost. 47. And when the centurion saw this, he glorified God, saying: Truly this man was just. 48. And all the multitudes that were come together to that sight, seeing the things that were done, returned striking their breasts. 49. And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women that had followed him from Galilee, seeing these things. 50. And behold a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, good and just. (This man had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who waited for the kingdom of God. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus; and taking it down, he wrapped him in a linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never any man had yet been laid. And that day was the day of preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

And two women followed; who had come with him from Galilee, they beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. Us. And returning, they prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath day they rested according to the commandment.

And on the first day of the week they came very early in the morning to the sepulchre, bringing what they had prepared: and they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And entering in, they found not the body. 4. And it came to pass, as they were astonished at this, behold two men stood by them in shining garments. And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6. Remember how he spoke to you, when he was yet in Galilee. Saying: That the Son of man must be delivered, and rise again the third day. And they remembered his words. 9. And returning, they told all these things to those eleven, and to all the rest. And it was Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Joanna, and the rest with them, who told these things to the Apostles. And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.

13. And behold two of them were going to a town sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem, whose name was Emmaus. 14. And they themselves talked together of all these things that had happened. And it came to pass that while they talked together, Jesus himself drawing near went with them: 16. But their eyes were held, that they should not know him. 17. And he said to them: What are these words that you exchange with one another as you walk, and are sad? 18. And one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem? And hast not known the things that have come to pass in it in these days? 19. Who said to them: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people;. And how our chief priests delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified. Him.

But we hoped that it was he who should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done: 22. Yea and certain women of our company affrighted us, who were early at the sepulchre: 23. And not finding his body, came, saying that they had also seen a vision of Angels, who say that he is alive. 24. And some of our company went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said; but him they saw not. 25. And he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken. 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory? 27. And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning himself. 28. And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going; and he made as though he would go further.

And they constrained him, saying: Stay with us; for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. 30. And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and breaking, gave to them. 31. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32. And they said one to another: Was not our heart burning within us in the way, whilst he opened to us the scriptures? And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them. Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35. And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of bread. And whilst they were speaking these things, he himself stood in the midst of them. 37. But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.

38. And he said to them: Why are you troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet; for it is I myself: handle me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. 41. And whilst they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing here to eat? 42. And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb. And taking it, he ate before them: and said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you: that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning. Me. Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. 46. And he said to them: Thus it is written, that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third.

Day, and that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48. And you are witnesses of these things. 49. And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city, until you be endued with power from on high. 50. And he led them out as far as Bethania; and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 51. And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them. 52. And they returned to Jerusalem with joy [lacuna] no. 53. And they were always in the temple, praising God.

Here ends the gospel according to luke.

The beginning of the gospel of jesus Christ the son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet: 2. Behold I send my Angel before thy face; and he prepared thy way. And. Again: The voice of one crying in the desert: prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight the paths of our God. 4. John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance unto remission of sins. And there went out to him all the country of Judaea; and all they of Jerusalem were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.

And he said to them: 8. I indeed have baptized you in water unto penance; but there cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost. 6. And John was clothed with camel's skin; and he ate locusts, and wild honey. 9. And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized in the Jordan by John. And going up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him. 11. And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son: in thee I am well pleased. 12. And immediately the Spirit drove him into the desert for forty days; and he was tempted by Satan, and was with the beasts, and the Angels ministered to him.

14. And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying: That the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: do penance, and believe in the gospel. 16. And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon; and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting their nets into the sea: (for they were fishers.) And Jesus said to them: Come after me; and I will make you to become fishers of men. And immediately, leaving all things, they followed him. 19. And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they also in a ship mending. Their nets; and forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired men, they followed him. 21. And they entered into Capharnaum; and straightway on the sabbath days he entered into the synagogue, and taught them.

And they were astonished at [lacuna] [lacuna] and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak; because they knew him. 35. And rising very early, he went out and departed into a desert place; and there. He prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him, they said to him: All men seek thee. 38. And he said to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. 39. And he was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out. Devils. And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and saying: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And being angry, stretching forth his hand, and touching him, he saith to him: I will: be thou made clean. 42. And immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43. And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.

44. And he said to him: See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the Priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 45. But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word; so that he could no more openly enter into the city: but was without in desert places, and they flocked to him from all sides.

And, when he had entered again into Capernaum after 2. Days, it was known that he was in a house: and straightway many gathered together, insomuch that now there was no room to receive them even at the door, and he spoke to them the word. 3. And they come to him, bringing a paralytic, who was carried by four. And, when they could not approach because of the crowd, going up, they uncovered the roof where Jesus was; and they let down [lacuna] the pallet on which the paralytic lay. 5. But when Jesus had seen their faith, he said to the paralytic: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. 6. Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts, saying [lacuna]: Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 8. And when Jesus had perceived [lacuna] in 1 spirit [lacuna], that they thought thus within themselves, he said to them: Why think ye these things in your hearts? 9. Which is easier to say?

Arise, and take up thy pallet, and go to thy house: or to say? Thy sins are forgiven thee. 10. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (2 he saith to the paralytic:). I say to thee: arise, take up thy pallet, and go to thy house. 12. And he straightway rising up, taking up the pallet before all, went away; so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying that they had never seen the like. 13. And Jesus went out again to the sea, and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them. 14. And passing by, he saw James [lacuna] of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and said to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him. 15. And it came to pass, as they reclined at table [lacuna] in his house, many publicans and sinners reclined together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many who had followed. Him.

But the scribes and Pharisees, when they saw him eating with sinners and publicans, said to his disciples: Why doth he eat with sinners and publicans? 17. And when Jesus had heard, he said: They that are well have no need of a physician; but they that are sick: I came not to call the just, but sinners to repentance. 18. Now the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to him: Why do the disciples of John and the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast? 19. And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them. Fast? The days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days. 21. But no man seweth a piece of undressed cloth onto an old garment; otherwise the new patch taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

22. And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins, but into new; otherwise the wineskins will burst; and the wine, and the wineskins will perish. 23. And it came to pass again that he walked through the grain fields on the sabbath: and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears and to eat. 24. The Pharisees said to him: Behold, what do thy disciples on the sabbath, which is not lawful for them? And answering, he said to them: Have ye never read what David did, when there was need, and he was hungry, and they that were with him? And he entered into the house of God, and ate the bread of the Presence, and gave it to those who were with him, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the Priests? 27. But I say to you, that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath itself.

And when those who were with him heard, they went out to restrain him: for they said that he was out of his mind.

And he entered again into the Synagogue: and there was there a man having a withered. Hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they might accuse. Him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Rise up into the midst. And he said to them: Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? To save a soul, or to destroy it? And they were silent. 5. And looking around upon them with anger, grieving over the blindness of their hearts, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored, even as the other. 6. And straightway the Pharisees went out with the Herodians, taking counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

7. But Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea: and when [lacuna] a great multitude from Galilee and Judaea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and beyond the Jordan, and they about Tyre and Sidon, had heard what he did, they came to 9. Him. And he told his disciples that a small boat should wait upon him because of the crowd: lest the many should press upon him. 10. For he healed many; so that [lacuna] they rushed upon him to touch him, as many as had afflictions. And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying: 12. Thou art the Son of God. And he charged them much, that they should not make him known; for they knew that he was the Christ. 13. And he went up into the mountain; and he called to himself those whom he himself wished, and they came to him.

14. And he appointed that there should be twelve with him; and that he might send them forth to preach, and that they should have power to heal infirmities and to cast out demons, and to go about, preaching the Gospel. 16. And he gave Simon the name Peter: 17. And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the names Boanerges, which is, sons of thunder: and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and L. [lacuna] us, and [lacuna] Cha [lacuna] us. And J. [lacuna] Iscariot who betray. [lacuna] ed him. 20. And [lacuna] into the house [lacuna] gath. [lacuna] [lacuna] again a crowd [lacuna] so that they could not even [lacuna] eat bread. And when the scribes and the rest heard of him, they went out [lacuna] him: for they said that he was beside. Himself.

And the scribes, and those from Jerusalem [lacuna] desc [lacuna] disc [lacuna] that [lacuna] Beelze [lacuna] bub [lacuna] prince of de- [lacuna] mons, [lacuna] and he [lacuna] casteth out de [lacuna] mons. 23. And calling them together, the Lord Jesus said to them in parables: How can Satan [lacuna] cast out Satan? [lacuna] if a kingdom [lacuna] be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25. And: if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26. And: if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself, his kingdom cannot stand, but hath an end. 27. But no man can enter into the house of a strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. 28. Amen I say to you, that all things shall be forgiven to the sons of men, [lacuna] sins, and blasphemies: but he who shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, hath no forgiveness; but shall be guilty of an eternal sin.

30. Because they said that he had an unclean spirit. [lacuna] And there came his mother and his brethren; and standing outside, they sent to him: 32. And the multitudes said to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren [lacuna] [lacuna] sisters [lacuna] out [lacuna] seeking thee. 33. And he answered them: Who is my mother? And who are my brethren? 34. And looking around upon those who sat about him, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. 35. And whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and [lacuna] my [lacuna]

And [lacuna] to teach by the sea; and there was gathered to him a great multitude; so that he went up into a boat and sat near the shore of the sea, and all the multitude was around the sea, and he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his. Teaching: Hear. [lacuna] Behold, the sower went out to sow. And it came to pass, as he sowed, [lacuna] some fell beside the way; and the birds of heaven came and ate. It up. And other fell upon rock. [lacuna] ground. [lacuna] where there was not [lacuna] much earth, and straightway it sprang up, because it had no depth. Of earth: But when the sun rose, it was scorched, because it had no root, and it withered. 7. And other fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit. 8. And other fell into good ground; and it gave fruit that sprang up and increased, one thirty, and one sixty, [lacuna] and one. A hundred.

And [lacuna] he said: He that [lacuna] hath ears to hear, let him hear: and he that understandeth, let him understand. 10. And when he was apart, his disciples asked him what this parable might be? 11. And he saith to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things [lacuna] are spoken in [lacuna] parables: [lacuna] that seeing they may see, and not see; and hearing, they may not understand; lest haply they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them. 13. And he said to them: Know ye not this parable? And how shall ye know all parables? He that speaketh the word, soweth. 15. Now these are they who are sown beside the way, who receive the word carelessly; and, when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16. And these are they who are sown upon rocky ground, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;.

And they have no [lacuna] root in themselves, but are temporary: then when tribulation or per[lacuna]- secution [lacuna] [lacuna] they likewise [lacuna] [lacuna] For he that hath, it shall be given to him; and he that hath not, even [lacuna] that which he hath [lacuna] shall be taken [lacuna] And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if [lacuna] a man should cast [lacuna] the ear, then the full grain. In the ear. And when the fruit is ripe [lacuna], straightway he put[lacuna] the sickle, be[lacuna] the harvest is come [lacuna] [lacuna] he said [lacuna] to what [lacuna] shall we compare [lacuna] of seeds, which are [lacuna] [lacuna] but privately to the disciples [lacuna] was in the boat; so that it was now being filled [lacuna] the boat. But he was in the stern, upon a head. [lacuna] sleeping: and they [lacuna] woke him, say. [lacuna] [lacuna] Master [lacuna] [lacuna] it concerneth [lacuna] because [lacuna] And he said to them: Why are ye fearful? Have ye not yet faith [lacuna]?

And they feared with great fear; and they said to one another: [lacuna] who is [lacuna] and the sea [lacuna] [lacuna]

[lacuna] you unclean. One, who had. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] to conquer. And that through the whole night, and [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] you torment. 8. For he said to him: Come out, unclean spirit, from the man. [lacuna] he asked him: What is your na[lacuna]me? [lacuna] he answered: Legion, for[lacuna] we are many; wh[lacuna] mu[lacuna]. All the demons besought him, saying: Send [lacuna] us into the swine, [lacuna] into them. Then. And straightway the Lord Jesus permitted [lacuna] them. And the unclean spirits going out, entered [lacuna] the swine; with great violence the herd rushed headlong [lacuna] into the sea. Now there were about [lacuna] and [lacuna] in the sea. And their keepers fled, and [lacuna] [lacuna] fields [lacuna] was vexed by demons, and [lacuna] the swine. 17. They [lacuna] sought him, that [lacuna] [lacuna] that you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may be saved and live. 24. And he went with him: and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him.

25. And a certain woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years. And having suffered much from many physicians, and having spent all her substance. [lacuna] [lacuna] pro. [lacuna] but. [lacuna] was worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came from behind, and touched his tunic among. The crowd: for she said within herself: If I shall touch even his garment, I shall be. Saved. And straightway the fountain was dried up. [lacuna] those wh. [lacuna] to you ha. [lacuna] the Lord, and has had mercy. On you. And he went away, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and straightway all marvelled. 21. And when Jesus had crossed over again [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] gathered. [lacuna] a great multitude to him, and he was at. The sea. And there came one of the [lacuna] of the Synagogue; and when he saw him, he fell.

At his feet, beseeching him greatly, and saying: My little daughter is at the point of death; of her blood; and she knew in her body that she was healed of her plague. 30. And immediately Jesus, knowing inwardly [lacuna] virt[lacuna] [lacuna] was. [lacuna] us ad. [lacuna] [lacuna] said: Who touched my garments? 31. But his disciples said: Master, you see the multitude pressing upon you, and you say: Who touched me? And he looked around to see her who had done this. 33. But the woman, fearing and trembling because of what she had done in secret, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34. But Jesus said. [lacuna] your faith has saved you. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] yours. 35. While he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue, saying: Your daughter is dead: why do you trouble the Master further? Immediately Jesus, when he heard the word, said to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not: only believe.

37. And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother. Of him. And he came into the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and he saw a tumult of those weeping and wailing. [lacuna] much [lacuna] entering [lacuna] them: 39. Why do you make a tumult, and weep? The girl is not dead; but. She sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put out all, took with him the mother and the father of the girl, and those who were with him, and entered, where the girl was. And taking her hand, he says to her: Tabitha, which is interpreted, Girl, I say to you, arise. And straightway the girl arose and walked: and she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment. 43. And he charged them much that no one should know this: and he commanded that something be given her to eat.

And he went out from there, and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him; and, the sabbath being come, he began to teach in the Synagogue: and when they had heard, many were astonished at his teaching, saying: From where has this man these things? And what wisdom is this, which is given to him? And such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3. Is not this the son of the carpenter, and of Mary? The brother of James, and of Joses, and of Judas, and of Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him. 4. And Jesus said to them, that a Prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house. 5. And he would not do any mighty work there, except that laying his hand upon a few sick persons. He healed them; and he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went about through the towns, teaching.

7. And having called the twelve, he sent them out two by two, having given them power over unclean spirits;. Charging them that they should take nothing for the journey, except a staff only, neither a wallet, neither bread, nor yet money in their belt. But shod with sandals: and, do not put on two tunics. 10. And he said to them: Wherever you enter into a house, there abide until you depart from there; and whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, departing from there, shake off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them. Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. 12. And going out, they preached that men should repent: 13. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 14. And King Herod heard (for his name had become known:) and (so) they said: That John the Baptist is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works are wrought.

In him. But others said: That it is Elijah. And others: That it is a Prophet. 16. But when Herod had heard, he said: John, whom I beheaded, this is he: he is risen from the dead. For Herod himself, sending, had seized John, and bound him, and sent him into prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. 18. For John said to Herod: That it is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother. 19. But Herodias set herself against him; and sought to kill him, and could. Not. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 21. But on a convenient day, Herod on his birthday made a supper for the Magistrates, and Tribunes, and the Chief men of Galilee.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself had come in, and had danced, and had pleased Herod, and those reclining at table, the King said to the girl: Ask of me what you will; and I will give. It to you: and he swore to her greatly: That whatsoever you shall ask of me, I will give you; even to the half of my kingdom. 24. And she, going out, said to her mother: What shall I ask? And she said: The head of John the Baptist. 25. And when she had come in to the King, she said: Give me at once upon a dish the head of John the Baptist. 26. And the King was made sorrowful because of his oath; and because of those reclining together, he would not reject her: 27. But straightway sending (so) a soldier of the guard, he commanded the head of him to be brought. And when he had gone, he beheaded him in the prison.

And brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. 29. And when his disciples had heard, they came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb. And the Apostles gathered together to Jesus, and reported to him all things, whatsoever they had done and taught. 31. And Jesus said to them: Come, let us go apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going; and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32. And going up into a boat, they departed into a desert place apart. Apart. And many saw them departing, and many recognized them, and ran together there on foot from all the cities, and came. 34. And going out, when Jesus saw a great multitude, he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep (so) having no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35. Now.

Now when the hour was already late, his disciples came to him, saying: That this place is desert, and the hour is already. Late: send them away therefore; that going into the neighbouring villages and towns, they may buy for themselves what they may. Eat. And Jesus answering said to them: Give them to eat. And they said to him: Going, shall we buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them to eat? And he said to them: (so) How many loaves have you? Go and see. And when they had found out, they said to him: Five loaves, and two fishes: and Jesus commanded them that all should recline upon the green. Grass. And they reclined in groups of a hundred and of fifty. 41. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among all. 42. And they all ate, and were filled.

43. And they took up the remaining fragments, twelve baskets full, and of the fishes. 44. And they that had eaten were five thousand men. 45. And straightway rising [lacuna], he compelled his disciples to go up into [lacuna] the boat, and to go before [lacuna] him to the other side toward Bethsaida; while he himself dismissed. The multitude. And when he had dismissed them, he went into the mountain to pray. 47. And when evening had come, the boat was now in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land. 48. And when he saw them rowing and toiling [lacuna], (for the wind was contrary to them) about the fourth watch of the night he came, Jesus walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by. Them. [lacuna] they, when they saw him walking upon the sea, thought it was a phantom, and they all cried out, and were troubled [lacuna] And straightway he spoke to them, saying [lacuna]: Be of good courage, it, fear not. And he went up. [lacuna] the boat, [lacuna] ceased.

And. [lacuna] [lacuna] among themselves they were astonished with wonder. [lacuna] for they had not understood about the loaves; for their heart was hardened. 53. And from there, when they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. When they had gone out of the boat, immediately they recognized. Him: and going about through all that region, they began to carry about on pallets all those who were sick, for they carried them about wherever they heard that Jesus was. And wherever he entered into towns, or villages, or cities, in the marketplace and in the streets they laid the sick, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment: and as many as touched it were healed.

And the Pharisees, and certain of the Scribes who had come from Jerusalem, gather to him. 2. Who, when they had seen some of his disciples eating bread with unclean hands, that is, unwashed, [lacuna] they marveled. The Pharisees. [lacuna] and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands at a moment, do not eat bread, holding the tradition of the elders: 4. And, when they come from the market, unless they have been baptized, they do not eat: and there are many other things for them, which they have received as handed down, baptisms of cups, and of pitchers, and of pots, and of couches. 5. And the Pharisees and Scribes question [lacuna] him, saying: Why do your disciples not follow according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unclean hands? 6. And he answering, said: Well did Esaias prophesy of you hypocrites, who said: This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from 7. Me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men;.

Baptizing pitchers, and cups, and many other such things which you do, having forsaken the commandment of God, holding the tradition of men. 9. And he said to them: Well do you make void the precept of God, that you may establish your own tradition. For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother. And: Whoever shall curse father, or mother, let him die the death. 11. But you say: If a man shall say to his father, or mother: A gift, (which is an offering) by which you would be benefited from me: you will not allow him to do anything further for his father. Or mother, rejecting the word of God through your own foolish tradition, which you have handed down: and many such like things you do. 14. And, calling the crowd together again, he said to them: Hear me all of you, and understand. There is nothing from outside a man, which entering into him, can defile him: but the things which proceed from a man, those are the things which defile a man.

16. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. 17. And, when he had entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18. And he said to them: Are you also so without understanding? Do you not understand, that everything which enters into a man from outside cannot defile him: 19. For it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the drain, purging all foods, and goes out into the stream. 20. But he said: that the things which come out of a man, those defile a man. 21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries. Thefts, fornications, murders, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, immodesty, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride. Foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within, and defile a man. 24. And rising up, he departed into the borders of Tyre; and, when he had entered into a house, he wished no one to know, and he could not. Be hidden.

For a woman having heard. [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] had an unclean spirit, came, and fell at his feet. 26. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation. And she begged him that he would cast the devil out of 27. Her daughter. And he says to her: Let the children first be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. 28. But she answered him, saying: Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs under the table eat of the crumbs of the children. 29. And he said to her: Go; because of this word of yours the devil has gone out of your daughter. 30. And, when she had gone home to her own place, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed. And thereafter departing from the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; begging him that he would lay his hand upon him. And taking him aside from the crowd apart, spitting, he put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue: 34. And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Epha: which is: be opened. 35. And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly, so much so that all were astonished. And he charged them that they should tell no one. The more [lacuna] he charged them [lacuna] the more they proclaimed it, and the more they were amazed, saying: He has done all things well: and he makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to

Speak. 1. In those days again, when there was a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat, calling his disciples, he said 2. To them: I have compassion on this crowd, because already three days [lacuna] here [lacuna] and they have nothing to eat. And if I send them away fasting home [lacuna] they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar. 4. And his disciples answered [lacuna]: Whence will anyone here be able to satisfy so many with bread in the wilderness? And he asked them: How many loaves do you have? And they said: 6. Seven, and he commanded the crowd to recline upon the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and, giving thanks, he broke them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set them before them: and they set them before the crowd. 7. And they had a few small fish; and these also he blessed, and commanded. Them to be set before them.

And they ate, and were filled: and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven. Baskets. Now those who had eaten were about four thousand men: and he dismissed them. And straightway he went up into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Magedan. 11. And the Pharisees came out, [lacuna] [lacuna] with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven [lacuna] tempting him. 12. And sighing [lacuna] in his spirit, he said: Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen I say to you, if a sign shall be given to this generation. And, having dismissed them, going up again into the boat, he went away across. The strait: and they had forgotten to take bread. [lacuna] one loaf they had with them in the boat. And he charged them, saying: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16. And they reasoned among themselves, that they did not have bread.

17. And, when Jesus perceived it, he said to them: Why do you reason in your hearts, because you have no bread? Do you not yet understand, nor perceive? Is your heart hardened? 18. Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Nor do you remember, when I broke five loaves among five thousand men? How many baskets full of fragments did you take up? And they said to him: Twelve. And when seven among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up? And they said: 21. Seven. And he says to them: How do you not yet understand? 22. And they came to Bethania, and they bring to him a blind man, beseeching him that he would touch him. And, taking the blind man by the hand, he led him outside the town; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw anything. 24. And looking up, he said: I see men, like trees, walking.

25. Then laying his hand again upon his eyes, (so) he made him see, and he was healed; so that he saw all things clearly. 26. And he sent him to his house, saying: Go to your home, and do not enter into the town, nor tell anyone. 27. And Jesus went out with his disciples into Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that I am? 28. And they answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but others, Elias; and others, as one of the Prophets. But he himself asked them: But who do you say that I am? And Peter answering, says to him: You are the Christ. 30. And he charged them that they should tell no one about. Him. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders, and by the Chief Priests, and Scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. And. He spoke the word openly.

And Peter taking hold of him, began to rebuke him, saying: Lord, be favorable; for this shall not be. 33. Who turning, when he saw his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get behind me, Satan, because you do not savor the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. 34. And, calling the crowd together with his disciples, he said: If any man wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35. For whoever shall wish to save his soul, shall lose it; but whoever shall have lost his soul for the sake of the Gospel, shall save it. 36. For what does it profit a man, if he shall have gained the whole world, and shall have forfeited his own soul? 37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy Angels. 39. And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of those standing here with me, who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God coming in power.

And after six days Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and led them up into a high mountain apart alone, and he was transfigured before them. 2. And his garments became shining, very white, as snow. And Elias was seen [lacuna], with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus. 4. And Peter said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be here [lacuna] if you will, let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5. For he did not know what he was saying; for they were struck with fear. 6. And there came a cloud overshadowing them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved Son: hear him. 7. And immediately looking around, they saw no one else, but him alone [lacuna] And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen [lacuna] from the dead.

9. And they kept the word among themselves; asking what it is, when he shall have risen from the dead? 10. And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Scribes say: [lacuna] that Elias must come? 11. And answering, he said to them: And Elias coming [lacuna] first, will restore all things: and, as it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be despised. 12. But I say to you, that Elias has come, and they did to him whatsoever they wished, as it is written concerning him [lacuna] And, when he had come to the disciples, he saw a great crowd around [lacuna] [lacuna] with [lacuna] straightway, when they saw him, all the crowd were afraid of him [lacuna] [lacuna] they saluted. Him. And he asks the Scribes: What were you inquiring among yourselves?

16. And one answered [lacuna] [lacuna] Master, I brought [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] [lacuna] unclean; [lacuna] seizes him, dashes him down, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he wastes away for a long time: I also told your disciples to cast it out; and they could not cast it out. 18. And answering, he said to them: O unbelieving generation [lacuna] how long [lacuna] shall I be with [lacuna]? How long [lacuna] shall I bear [lacuna] bring [lacuna] to me [lacuna] they brought [lacuna] him. And when [lacuna] the spirit saw him, it convulsed the boy; and falling on the ground, he rolled about foaming. And he asked the father of the boy, saying: How long a time is it since this happened to him? And he answering, said: From childhood. And it has often cast him into the fire [lacuna] [lacuna] that it might destroy [lacuna] him. [lacuna] if you can do anything, help us, Lord, having mercy on us. 22. And Jesus said to him: What is this, if you can do anything?

If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. 23. And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: I believe, Lord; help my unbelief. 24. And when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together [lacuna], he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying: I command you, deaf and dumb spirit; come out of him, and enter into him no more. 25. And crying out, having convulsed him greatly, it went out of him: and he became as one dead; so that many said that he was dead. Jesus, however, taking him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose. 27. And when he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could we not cast it out? 28. And he said to them: This kind of demon can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting. 29. And departing from there, they journeyed through Galilee, and he did not wish anyone. To know.

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them: Because the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and after the third day he will rise again. But they did not understand the Word, and were afraid to ask him. 32. And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house, he asked them: What were you disputing about on the way? But they were silent: for among themselves [lacuna] they had disputed which of them was the greatest. 34. And when he had sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them: If anyone wishes to be first, let him be the last of all, and the. Servant of all. And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them: and, having taken him in his arms, he said to them: 36. Whoever shall receive one such child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.

37. But John answering, said: Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name [lacuna], who does not follow with us, and we forbade him. 38. But he answering, said: Do not forbid [lacuna]: for there is no one who does a mighty work in my name, and will be able [lacuna] to speak evil. Of me. For he who is not against you is for you. 40. For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. 41. And whoever shall cause one of your little ones who believe to stumble, it is better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 42. And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life maimed; than having two hands to be cast into gehenna, into unquenchable fire, where their worm shall not die, and the fire shall not be quenched.

44. And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off: it is better for you to enter lame into eternal life; than having two feet to be cast into gehenna, where the fire is unquenchable, where their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched. 46. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out: it is better for you to enter one-eyed into the kingdom of God; than having two eyes to be cast into gehenna. Where their worms shall not die, and the fire shall not be quenched. 48. Every sacrifice 2 shall be salted with salt. 49. And salt is good: but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace among yourselves.

And rising from there, he came into the borders of Judaea [lacuna] Jordan. [lacuna] and. [lacuna] again a crowd to him, and, as was his custom, he taught them again. 2. And they were asking him: Whether it is lawful for a man to put away his wife, testing him. 3. And answering, he said to them: What did Moses command you? 4. Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put [lacuna] pon-. [lacuna] Jesus, said to them: For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment. 6. But from the beginning of creation, male and female God made 7. Them. For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his. Wife; and the two shall be one flesh. So then they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder. 10. And again in the house the disciples asked him about this.

11. And he said to them: If a man puts away his wife and marries another, he commits adultery against her. 12. And if a woman departs from her husband and marries another, she commits adultery against him. Likewise also he who marries one put away by her husband commits adultery. 13. And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them. But his disciples rebuked those who were bringing them. 14. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them: Suffer the children to come to me; and do not forbid them: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15. For amen I say to you: Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it. 16. And he blessed them in his arms. 17. And as he was going forth, one ran up, and kneeling down before him, asked him, saying: Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

18. But Jesus looking upon him, said to him: Why do you call me good? No one is good, except. One God. You know the commandments? He said: Which? You shall not commit adultery: You shall not commit murder: You shall not steal: You shall not bear false witness: You shall not defraud: Honor your father and your mother. 20. And he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth: what do I still lack? 21. But Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him: One thing you lack: go; sell whatever you have, and give to the poor; and you shall have treasure in heaven; and, taking up the cross, come, follow me. 22. But he, saddened at this word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23. And Jesus looking around, said to his disciples: How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!

25. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 24. But his disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answering, said to them again: Little children, how hard it is for those who have money, or who trust in it, to enter into the kingdom of God! 26. But they were all the more astonished, saying among themselves: And who can be saved? 27. Jesus looking upon them, said: With men indeed it is impossible; but with God it is possible. 28. And Peter began to say to him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed you. 29. Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you: No one [lacuna] [lacuna] who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or children, or fields for my sake, and for the sake of the Gospel.

Who shall not receive a hundredfold in this time: but he who has left house, and brothers, and sisters, and mother, and children, and fields with persecutions [lacuna] [lacuna] in the age to come shall receive eternal life. [lacuna] [lacuna] but those who are first shall be last; and the last, first. 32. And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what things were about to happen to him. 33. For behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the Chief Priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him. To the Gentiles, and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him, and after the third day he will rise again.

35. And there came to him James and John the sons of Zebe-dee, and said to him: Master, we wish that whatever we shall ask of you, you would do for us. And he said to them: What shall I do for you? Who said to him: Grant to us that one may sit at your right hand, and one at your left hand in your glory. 38. And Jesus answering, said to them: You do not know what you ask: can you drink the cup that I am about to drink; or the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized with? And they said: We can. But Jesus said to them: The cup indeed that I am about to drink you shall drink; and the baptism with which I am baptized, you shall be baptized with: but to sit at my right hand or at my left, is not mine to give; it is prepared for others by my Father. 41. And when the other ten heard this, they began to be displeased about James and.

And Jesus calling them, said to them: You know that those who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who are greatest among them hold them under authority. 43. It is not so among you: but whoever wishes among you to be greater, shall be your minister; and whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be your servant. 45. For even the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 46. Then he came to Jericho; and as he was going forth from there with his disciples and a great crowd, (sic) and the son of Timaeus Bar-timaeus a blind man was sitting by the way, begging. 47. Who, when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out, and say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. And many rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried out all the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

49. And Jesus standing still, commanded him to be called. And they said to the blind man: Take courage, rise. He calls you. And he, casting away his cloak, leaping up, came to him. 51. And Jesus answering, said to him: What do you wish that I should do for you? But the blind man said to him: Lord [lacuna] that I may see. [lacuna] but [lacuna] Go, your faith has made you well. And immediately he began to see, and followed him on the way.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples. Saying to them: Go into the village that is over against you; and straightway, as you enter, you will find a colt of an ass tied, upon which no man has sat: loose him, and bring him. 3. And if anyone shall say to you: Why do you loose the colt? Say: He is needed by his lord: and forthwith he will send him hither. Going out, they found the colt tied before the door outside in the street, and they loosed him. 5. And certain of those who stood there said to them: What are you doing, loosing the colt? 6. And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them: and they permitted them. To lead the colt to Jesus: and they spread their garments upon him; and he sat upon him. 8. And many spread their garments in the way: but others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.

9. And those who went before, and those who followed, cried out, saying: Hosanna on. High: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest. And when he had entered Jerusalem into the temple, looking round upon all things; and now the hour being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve disciples. 12. And on the next day, when they had gone out from Bethany, he was hungry. 13. And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, he came, as if he might find something on it; but when he had come, and found nothing on it but leaves (for it was not the season of figs). He said to it: Let no man eat fruit from you henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem again.

And when he had entered into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple; and the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves. He overturned. And he did not permit that any man should carry a vessel through. The temple; and he taught, saying to them: Is it not written; My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations. But you have made it a den of robbers. 18. And when the chief priests and the scribes had heard it, they sought how they might destroy him; and they feared the people, because the whole multitude was astonished at his teaching. 19. And when evening was come, he went out outside the city. And the disciples passing by, saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21. And Peter, remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which you cursed is withered. 22. And Jesus answering, said to them: If you shall have faith.

Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain: Be taken up, and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he speaks will come to pass, it shall happen to him, whatsoever he shall say. 24. Therefore I say to you: All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you shall receive them, and they shall be. Yours. And when you shall stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive your sins. 26. For if you do not forgive, neither shall your Father, who is in heaven, forgive you your offences. 27. And they came again to Jerusalem: and, as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders;. And they said to him: By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority?

29. And Jesus answering, said to them: I also ask you one word: answer me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer. Me. And they reasoned among themselves, saying: What shall we say? If we shall say: From heaven: he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? 32. But if we shall say: From men: we fear the people; for all knew that John was truly a prophet. And answering Jesus, they said: Not [lacuna] And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And he began [lacuna] [lacuna] A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a winepress, and built a tower [lacuna] let it out to husbandmen, and went. On a journey. And he sent to the husbandmen [lacuna] to them. 3. And having seized [lacuna] they beat him, and sent him away empty to him. 4. And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and treated shamefully. 5. And he sent another servant; and him they killed: and many others; some they beat, but some they killed. 6. Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent him last of all, saying: Perhaps they will reverence my son. 7. But the husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. And they seized him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. Am. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and will destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

Have you not read this scripture? The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner. Li. This was done by the Lord: it is marvellous in our eyes. Tris. And they sought to seize him; and they feared the multitude: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them. And leaving him, they went away. Erunt. And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch. Him in his words. And they came, questioning him: Master, we know that you are truthful, and that you care not for any man; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Tell us therefore: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 15. But Jesus knowing their dissimulation, said to them: Why do you tempt me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it. Am. And they brought one. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said: Caesar's.

17. And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore the things that are Caesar's to Caesar, and the things that are God's to God. And they marvelled at him. And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection: and they questioned him. Saying: Master, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother shall die, and leave a wife, and leave no child, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 20. Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first, having taken a wife, died, and left no seed. 21. And the second took her, and died; and neither did he leave seed. And the third. Likewise. The seven took her and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died. 23. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her as wife. 24. And Jesus answering, said to them: For this cause you err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power. Of God.

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the Angels. Li in heaven. But concerning the dead, that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, concerning the bush, how God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore err greatly. 28. And there drew near one of the scribes, who had heard them disputing; seeing that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first commandment? 29. And Jesus said to him: The first of all: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your. Might; and your neighbour as yourself. This is the great commandment.

32. And the scribe said to him: Well have you said, Master, that he is one God, and there is none other beside him. 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all understanding, and with all one's strength; and to love one's neighbour as oneself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more. Re. And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the Son of David? 36. David himself in the Holy Spirit says: The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand; until I make your enemies the footstool of 37. Your feet. David himself calls him God: and how is he his son? And a great multitude heard him most gladly.

And he teaching, said to them at the same time: Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace. And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief places at. Feasts; who devour the houses of widows, and of orphans, making long prayers for a pretence: these shall receive greater condemnation. And sitting over against the treasury, he observed how the multitude cast money into the treasury; and many rich men cast in. Much. And there came one widow, who cast in two mites, which is a farthing; and calling his disciples to him, he said to them: Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all as a gift into the treasury. For all cast in out of their abundance; but she out of her want cast in all that she had, that is her whole substance.

And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones, and what buildings! 2. And answering, he said to them: Do you see these great structures? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down; and after three days another shall rise without hands. 3. And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately: 4. Tell us, when shall these things be? And what is the sign when all these things shall begin to be accomplished? 5. And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed lest any man deceive you;. For many shall come in my name, saying: I am he: and they shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of battles, be not troubled; for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

8. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines: these things are the beginning of sorrows. Then they shall deliver you up to councils: and in synagogues you shall be beaten; and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony. To them. And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. Um. And when they shall lead you away, delivering you up; be not anxious beforehand, nor premeditate what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, speak that: for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12. And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he who shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.

14. And when you shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him who reads understand whatever he reads. Then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains;. And let him who is upon the housetop not come down into the house, nor enter to take anything from his house: 16. And let him who is in the field not turn back to take his garment. 17. But woe to those with child, and to those giving suck in those days. 18. And pray that these things. May not come to pass in winter: for in those days there shall be tribulations such as have never been from the beginning of creation until now, nor shall be. And unless the Lord had shortened the days for the sake of his elect, no flesh would have been saved: but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened [lacuna] And then, if anyone shall say to you: Behold, here is Christ: or: Behold, there: do not believe it.

22. For there shall arise false christs and false prophets; and they shall work signs and wonders, to lead astray, if it were possible, even the elect. Take heed: I have foretold you all things. 24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light; and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers of the heavens (sic) shall be moved. 26. And then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power. And glory. And then he shall send his messengers; and shall gather together the elect from the four winds, from the corners of the earth, even to the uttermost part of heaven. 28. Now from the fig tree learn a parable. When its branch is already tender, and has put forth leaves, know that summer is near; so also you, when you shall see these things, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30. Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass away until all things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my word shall not pass away. 32. But of that day and hour no one knows, not the Angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. 33. Take heed; watch: for you know not when the time. As a man about to go on a journey left his house, and gave to his servants authority, to each his own work; and commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. 35. Watch therefore: for you know not when the Lord of the house comes, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning;. Lest, when he comes suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37. But I say to you: Watch.

Now the Passover was after two days; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might take him and kill him. For they said: Let there be no tumult of the people on the feast days. 3. And when he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment of spikenard; and breaking the alabaster flask, she poured it upon his head. 4. But his disciples murmured among themselves, saying: To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they were indignant at her. 6. But Jesus said to them: Let her alone: why do you trouble her? She has wrought a good work upon me: 7. For you have the poor always with you; and whenever you will, you can do good to them: but me you have not always. She has done what she could: she has anticipated anointing my body for burial.

9. But amen I say to you, that wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she has done shall be told in memory of her. 10. And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests of the priests, to betray. Him. And they rejoiced, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. 12. And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples say to him: Where do you wish that we go and prepare, that you may eat the Passover? 13. And he sends two of his disciples, saying: Go into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a jar of water: follow him;. And wherever he shall enter, say to the master of the house: The Master says: Where is my guest chamber, where with my disciples I may eat. The Passover? And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

16. And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and did as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17. And when evening was come, he arrived with. The twelve. And as they reclined and were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you will betray me, he who eats with me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I? And another: Is it. I? To whom he said: One of the twelve, who dips with me his hand in. The dish. The Son indeed of man is betrayed, according to what is written of him; but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed: it were better for him if that man had never been born. 22. And as they were eating, taking bread, he blessed, and broke, and gave to them, saying: Take: This is my Body, which is broken for many for the remission of sins.

23. And taking the cup, he gave thanks, and gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24. And he said to them: This is my Blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many for the remission of sins. 25. Amen I say to you, that I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives. 27. And Jesus said to them: You will all be scandalized in me, because it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered. 28. But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said to him: Even if all shall be scandalized, yet not I. 30. And Jesus says to him: Amen I say to you, that this night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.

But he said all the more: Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you. And likewise also all the disciples said. 32. And they come to a farm to which [lacuna] Gethsemani. And he says to them: Sit here, while (sic) I pray. 33. And he takes Peter, and James, and John with him; and he began to be amazed, and to be weary, and to faint. 34. Then he says to them: O how sorrowful is my soul even unto death: stay here, and watch. 35. And going forward a little, he fell upon his face on the ground; and prayed, if it were possible, that the hour might pass from him: 36. And he said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to you: take away this cup from me: but not what I say, but what you will. 37. And he found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one. Hour? Watch and pray; lest you enter into temptation.

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39. And he went away again to pray. And he came, and found them sleeping: (for their eyes were heavy) and they knew not what to answer. Him. And he came the third time, and says to them: Sleep now, and take your rest. The end is accomplished: the hour is come; and behold the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42. Rise up, let us go: behold, he who will betray me is at hand. 43. And while he was yet speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, came, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders. 44. Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: hold him, and lead him away carefully. 45. And he came up and said to him: Hail, Rabbi: and kissed him. 46. Then they laid hands on him, and held him.

47. But a certain one of them drew a sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48. And Jesus said to them: Are you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? 49. Daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not detain me. But that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. 50. And forsaking him, they all fled. 51. And a certain young man followed him, clothed with a linen cloth over his naked body: and they laid hold of 52. Him. But he, leaving the linen cloth, fled naked from them. 53. And they led Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders assembled together. 54. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the courtyard of the high priest: and he was sitting with the servants, warming himself at the fire. 55. And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death: and they found none.

For many bore false witness against him; and their testimonies were not consistent. 57. And some rising up, bore false witness against him. Saying: We heard him saying: I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands. 59. And not even so was their testimony consistent. 60. And the high priest rising up in the midst, questioned Jesus: Do you answer nothing to what these witness against you? 61. And he said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62. And Jesus answering, said to him: I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest immediately rent his garments, saying: What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy! What does it seem to you? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65. And some began to spit upon his face; and they struck him with their fists.

66. And when Peter was in the courtyard, there came to him one of the maids of the high priest: 67. And when she saw Peter warming himself at the fire, looking at him, she said: You also were with Jesus of Nazareth. 68. But he denied, saying: I know not: neither do I know what you say. And he went out before the courtyard, and the cock crowed. And when the maid saw him again, she began to say to those standing by: This man also. Is one of them. And he denied again. And after a little while, again, those who stood by said: You also are 71. One of them. And he began to curse himself, saying: I do not know this man of whom you speak. 72. And immediately the cock crowed a second time. And Peter called to mind the word which Jesus had said to him, and he began to weep.

And at early dawn the chief priests held a council with the elders, and the scribes, and (sic) the whole council: and binding Jesus they led him away into the courtyard, and delivered him to Pilate. 2.

And Pilate questioned him again: Do you answer nothing? Behold how many things. They accuse you of. But Jesus answered nothing further; so that Pilate marvelled [lacuna] [lacuna] day [lacuna] feast he was accustomed [lacuna] one of the prisoners, whomsoever they pe [lacuna] titioned.

And they going, told the rest; nor did they believe them. 14. Last of all he appeared to the eleven as they reclined; and he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart: because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen.

He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who does not believe shall be condemned. 17.
