The Gospel of Thomas Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin _________________	The Gospel of Luke King James Version (KJV) ____________________________________
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.	[1:1] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, [1:2] Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; [1:3] It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

(1) And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."	[1:4] That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. [1:5] There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. [1:6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. [1:7] And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. [1:8] And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings	Thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed... Zacharias... Aaron = "light bringer"... Elisabeth... Elisabeth
These sayings	The commandments and ordinances
Not experience death	Zacharias = "remembered of Jehovah"... stricken... executed

(2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."	[1:9] According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. [1:10] And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. [1:11] And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. [1:12] And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. [1:13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. [1:14] And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. [1:15] For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. [1:16] And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

(3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."	[1:17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. [1:18] And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. [1:19] And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. [1:20] And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. [1:21] And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. [1:22] And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. [1:23] And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. [1:24] And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, [1:25] Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. [1:26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [1:27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [1:28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [1:29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [1:30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [1:31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [1:32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [1:33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

It is in the sea	A people... the house of David
Inside of you	In the spirit... in the temple... in the spirit... in thy womb
It is outside of you	He shall reign over the house of Jacob
You will become known	Take away my reproach among men... Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women... his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself
You will realize that it is you... But if you will not know yourselves... it is you who are	Thou that art highly favoured... blessed art thou
Who are the sons of the living father	Gabriel... Gabriel = "man of God" Bring forth a son... He... shall be called the Son of the Highest
The living father	His father David
You dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty	He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end

(4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same."	[34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. [36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing shall be impossible. [38] And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. [39] And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; [40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. [41] And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
The man	A man
Old in days	Old age
Will not hesitate	Went... with haste
Ask	How shall this be
A small child	A son... the babe
Seven days old	The sixth month
The place of life	In her womb
He will live	That holy thing which shall be born
Many who are first	Her, who was called barren
They will become one and the same	Thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived... the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost

(5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."	[1:42] And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [1:43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [1:44] For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. [1:45] And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. [1:46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [1:47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [1:48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [1:49] For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. [1:50] And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. [1:51] He hath shewed strength with his arm;
Recognize what is in your sight	He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden... behold... all generations
That which is hidden from you will become plain to you	The fruit of thy womb... the babe leaped in my womb
For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest	My soul... my spirit... mercy is on them that fear him... He hath shewed strength

(6) His disciples questioned him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?"     Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."	[1:51b] he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [1:52] He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. [1:53] He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. [1:54] He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; [1:55] As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. [1:56] And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. [1:57] Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. [1:58] And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. [1:59] And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. [1:60] And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. [1:61] And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. [1:62] And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. [1:63] And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. [1:64] And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. [1:65] And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. [1:66] And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. [1:67] And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, [1:68] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, [1:69] And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; [1:70] As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
His disciples questioned him	His disciples questioned him... He hath put down the mighty from their seats
Do you want us to fast... What diet shall we observe	He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away
How shall we pray	He asked
Shall we give alms	The rich he hath sent empty away
Do not tell lies	They called him Zacharias... his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John
Do not do what you hate	They came to circumcise the child
All	All
Things are plain in the sight	The Lord had shewed great mercy upon her... they made signs
In... heaven	In their hearts... his people... in the house
Nothing hidden	In the imagination of their hearts... Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost
Become manifest	She brought forth a son... his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God... prophesied... he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets
Nothing covered will remain without being uncovered	Raised up an horn... in the house

(7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."	[1:71] That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; [1:72] To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; [1:73] The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, [1:74] That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, [1:75] In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. [1:76] And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; [1:77] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, [1:78] Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, [1:79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [1:80] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Blessed	Be saved... being delivered
The lion... the lion... the lion	Our enemies... the hand of all that hate us... the hand of our enemies... our feet... Israel
Man... man... the man...man	Our fathers... our father... child... the child
When	All the days of our life... till the day of his shewing

(8) And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."	[2:1] And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. [2:2] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) [2:3] And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. [2:4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) [2:5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. [2:6] And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [2:7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. [2:8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. [2:9] And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. [2:10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [2:11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. [2:12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. [2:13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [2:14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The man	Child... firstborn son... all people... good will toward men
A wise Fisherman... the wise fisherman	Her firstborn son... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
Who cast his net	The angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy
Into the sea	To all people
Drew it up from the sea full	Wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn... wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger
Small fish... all the small fish	All the world... all people
Among them	Unto the city of David... he was of the house and lineage of David... in the city of David
Found	This shall be a sign unto you... find
Found a fine large fish... chose the large fish	Great with child... brought forth her firstborn son... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord... find the babe
Without difficulty	For unto you is born this day
Back into the sea	Born... in the city of David
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear	The angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy

(9) Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."	[2:15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. [2:16] And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [2:17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [2:18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. [2:19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. [2:20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. [2:21] And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [2:22] And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; [2:23] (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) [2:24] And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. [2:25] And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. [2:26] And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. [2:27] And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, [2:28] Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, [2:29] Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
Now	It came to pass... now... when

(10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes."	[2:30] For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, [2:31] Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; [2:32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. [2:33] And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. [2:34] And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel;
I have cast... upon	This child is set for the fall
Fire... blazes	A light to lighten... the glory
The world	The Gentiles... thy people Israel... many in Israel
See	His mother marvelled at those things... mine eyes have seen thy salvation... before the face... Behold, this child

(11) Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do ? On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"	and for a sign which shall be spoken against; [2:35] (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. [2:36] And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; [2:37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. [2:38] And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. [2:39] And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. [2:40] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. [2:41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. [2:42] And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. [2:43] And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. [2:44] But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. [2:45] And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. [2:46] And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. [2:47] And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. [2:48] And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
This heaven will pass away	A sign which shall be spoken against... a sword shall pierce through thy own soul
This heaven...and the one above it	Jerusalem... Jerusalem... Jerusalem... Jerusalem (The New Jerusalem is the heaven from above, Rev. 22)
And the one	And there was one
Will pass away	A sword shall pierce through thy own soul
Heaven	The temple
The dead	A widow
Dead...alive... and the living will not die	Lived... after three days
Will... will	Shall... shall
In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive	Anna, a prophetess... she was of a great age... about fourscore and four years... served God with fastings and prayers night and day... Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast
Consumed	Fastings
When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do	When they had fulfilled the days... they returned... when they found him not, they turned back again
Come to dwell	Departed not... returned into Galilee... went to Jerusalem... went up to Jerusalem... they returned... Jesus tarried behind... went... turned back again
Light	His understanding and answers
The day when	When they had fulfilled the days... it came to pass, that after three days
You were one	There was one
You became two... you become two	Seven... fourscore and four... he was twelve... three
But	And ( in Greek: kai =  and, but )
Two, what will you do?	Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?

(12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?"     Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."	behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. [2:49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? [2:50] And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. [2:51] And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. [2:52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. [3:1] Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, [3:2] Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. [3:3] And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; [3:4] As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. [3:5] 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 shall be made smooth;
We know that you	I have sought thee
Depart from us	Ye sought me
Who is to be our leader	He... was subject unto them... Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man
Wherever you are	Judaea... Galilee... Ituraea... Trachonitis... Abilene... in the wilderness... the country about Jordan... in the wilderness...  Every valley... every mountain and hill
You are to go to	He came into
The righteous	The remission of sins... straight... be made straight... be made smooth
For whose sake	For the remission of sins
Heaven	Every mountain and hill
Earth	The wilderness... the country about Jordan... the wilderness... Every valley
Came into being	He... came to Nazareth... the word of God came... he came into all the country about Jordan

(13) Jesus said to his disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like."     Simon Peter said to him, "You are like a righteous angel."     Matthew said to him, "You are like a wise philosopher."     Thomas said to him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like."     Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring which I have measured out."     And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"     Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up."	[3:6] And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. [3:7] Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? [3:8] Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. [3:9] And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [3:10] And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? [3:11] He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. [3:12] Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? [3:13] And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. [3:14] And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. [3:15] And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; [3:16] John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: [3:17] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. [3:18] And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. [3:19] But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, [3:20] Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. [3:21] Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, [3:22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. [3:23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, [3:24] Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, [3:25] Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, [3:26] Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, [3:27] Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, [3:28] Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, [3:29] Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, [3:30] Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, [3:31] Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, [3:32] Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, [3:33] Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, [3:34] Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like... You are like a righteous angel... whom you are like	Who hath warned you... whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose... Whose fan is in his hand... Thou art my beloved Son... the  son of (mentioned many times)... Jacob = "heel-catcher or supplanter"

My mouth is wholly incapable of saying	Begin not to say within yourselves... all men mused in their hearts... a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son
Drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring	Baptized... he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire... all the people were baptized... Jesus also being baptized
which I have measured out	Joseph = let him add... Elmodam = "measure"
Told him three things... If I tell you	A voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son Semei = "harkeners: my report"
Thomas returned to his companions	Levi = joined... Melea = "my dear friend,  object of care"
Which I have measured out	Maath = small, Elmodam = "measure"
You will pick up	Heli = ascending
A fire will come out of the stones and burn you up	Zorobabel = "born at Babyl, i.e. Babylon"... Neri = "Jehovah is my lamp"... Nachor = "snorting"

(14) Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you  and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but, that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you."	[3:35] Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, [3:36] Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, [3:37] Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, [3:38] Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. [4:1] And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, [4:2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. [4:3] And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. [4:4] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. [4:5] And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. [4:6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. [4:7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. [4:8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. [4:9] And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: [4:10] For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: [4:11] And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [4:12] And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

You will do harm to your spirits... it is that which will defile you	Lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone
When you go	Forty days... in a moment of time
Into any land and walk about in the districts	Heber = the region beyond... Adam = the red earth... Into the wilderness... into an high mountain... he brought him to Jerusalem
If they receive you	Saruch = intertwined... If thou therefore wilt worship me

(15) Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father."	[4:13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. [4:14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [4:15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. [4:16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [4:17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, [4:18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
When you see	When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season... on the sabbath day... when he had opened the book
See	Read...  he hath anointed me to preach... recovering of sight to the blind
One who was not born of woman	Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit... Nazareth, where he had been brought up...  The Spirit of the Lord

(16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which  I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary."	[4:19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. [4:20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. [4:21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. [4:22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? [4:23] And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. [4:24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. [4:25] But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; [4:26] But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. [4:27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. [4:28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, [4:29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. [4:30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way, [4:31] And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. [4:32] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. [4:33] And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, [4:34] Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
Men think	Is not this Joseph's son... there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil
It is peace which I have... it is dissension	They... were filled with wrath
Upon the world... upon the earth	In the synagogue... do also here in thy country... No prophet is accepted in his own country... many widows were in Israel... great famine was throughout all the land... many lepers were in Israel... all they in the synagogue... thrust him out of the city... their city... a city... in the synagogue
They do not know	No prophet is accepted... this proverb, Physician, heal thyself... the heaven was shut... I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God
They do not	Do also here
I have come... I have come	Unto none of them was Elias sent... He (Jesus)...  came down to Capernaum... art thou come to destroy us?
To cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war	The gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth... ... they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power
There will be five in a house	All them that were in the synagogue... in thy country... in his own country... great famine was throughout all the land... all they in the synagogue... the city... their city
Against... against... the father against the son... the son against the father	No prophet is accepted in his own country... when they heard these things, were filled with wrath... rose up, and thrust him out of the city... they might cast him down headlong... art thou come to destroy us?... what have we to do with thee
They will stand solitary	Let us alone... I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God

(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."	[4:35] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. [4:36] And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. [4:37] And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. [4:38] And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. [4:39] And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. [4:40] Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. [4:41] And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
I shall give you what... what... what... what	What a word is this!
No eye has seen	They were all amazed
No ear has heard	What a word is this!... crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God... he rebuking them suffered them not to speak
No hand has touched	He laid his hands on every one of them
Has never occurred to the human mind	They knew that he was Christ

(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."     Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."	[4:42] And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. [4:43] And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. [4:44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. [5:1] And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, [5:2] And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. [5:3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. [5:4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. [5:5] And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [5:6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. [5:7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. [5:8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. [5:9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
The disciples	The people sought him... the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God... Simon... Simon... Simon... Master... Simon Peter... O Lord
Tell us how our end will be	Went into a desert place... I must preach the kingdom of God... he... taught the people... at thy word
Have you discovered... the beginning	The people sought him
You look for the end	It came to pass... the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God
Where the beginning is, there will the end be	Thrust out a little from the land... Launch out into the deep
Blessed is he who will take his place	They beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship... have taken nothing... they came, and filled both the ships... at the draught of the fishes which they had taken
He will know the end	Depart from me; for I am a sinful man
Not experience death	He was astonished...  (Cf. Thomas 1) with him

(19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall.  Whoever becomes acquainted with them   will not experience death."	[5:10] And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. [5:11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. [5:12] And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. [5:13] And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. [5:14] And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. [5:15] But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. [5:16] And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. [5:17] And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. [5:18] And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. [5:19] And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. [5:20] And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. [5:21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being	When they had brought their ships to land... it came to pass, when he was... immediately the leprosy departed from him... men brought in a bed... bring him in... bring him in... into the midst before Jesus
If you become my disciples	They forsook all, and followed him
Listen to my words	Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men... I will: be thou clean... great multitudes came together to hear... he was teaching... he saw their faith... Man, thy sins are forgiven thee
These stones will minister to you	James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon... Moses commanded, for a testimony... Pharisees and doctors of the law... the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason
There are five trees	James, and John... Simon... Jesus... Moses

(20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like."     He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."	[5:22] But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? [5:23] Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? [5:24] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. [5:25] And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. [5:26] And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. [5:27] And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. [5:28] And he left all, rose up, and followed him. [5:29] And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. [5:30] But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? [5:31] And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. [5:32] I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like	What reason ye in your hearts?
It is like a mustard seed	Jesus... the Son of man
It is the smallest of all seeds	They were all amazed... he left all
It falls	He lay... Levi, sitting... and... others that sat down with them
Tilled soil	Your hearts?
It produces a great plant	The Son of man hath power upon earth... he rose up before them... Levi made him a great feast... there was a great company of publicans
Becomes a shelter	Your hearts?... go into thine house... he... departed to his own house
Birds of the sky	The sick of the palsy... a great company of publicans... scribes and Pharisees... publicans and sinners... they that are sick... sinners
It produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky	Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them

(21) Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?"     He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."	[5:33] And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? [5:34] And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? [5:35] But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. [5:36] And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. [5:37] And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [5:38] But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. [5:39] No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. [6:1] And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. [6:2] And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? [6:3] And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; [6:4] How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? [6:5] And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. [6:6] And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. [6:7] And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. [6:8] But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. [6:9] Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? [6:10] And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. [6:11] And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. [6:12] And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. [6:13] And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; [6:14] Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, [6:15] Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, [6:16] And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. [6:17] And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; [6:18] And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. [6:19] And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. [6:20] And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. [6:21] Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. [6:22] Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. [6:23] Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Whom are your disciples like?	Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?... there was a man whose right hand was withered... he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, (whom he also named Peter,)
They are like children	Likewise the disciples of the Pharisees... Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast... his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat... which it is not lawful to eat... for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets
Who have settled in a field which is not theirs	New wine into old bottles... the new wine will burst the bottles... the bottles shall perish... But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved
The owners... will say... Let us have back our field	No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better
When the owners of the field come, they will say	But the days will come... It came to pass on the second sabbath after the first... certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?... when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him... the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath... it came to pass also on another sabbath... the sabbath day... Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good... then shall they fast in those days... it came to pass in those days... when it was day... Blessed are ye that hunger now... Rejoice ye in that day
Let us have back our field	He went through the corn fields... the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him
They (will) undress in their presence	No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old
In order to let them have back their field	He... did take and eat the shewbread.. which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone
And to give it back to them	And gave also to them
If the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming	He went into the house of God... the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath... But he knew their thoughts
he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods	Rise up, and stand forth in the midst... It came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered
Before he comes	It came to pass
Into his house of his domain	He went into the house of God... into the synagogue
To carry away his goods	There was a man whose right hand was withered... the man which had the withered hand
You, then, be on your guard against the world	The ears of corn...Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth...  the Pharisees
Arm yourselves with great strength	Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other
Lest the robbers find a way to come to you	The Pharisees... certain of the Pharisees... the scribes and Pharisees watched him... that they might find an accusation against him
For the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize	And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus
Let there be among you a man of understanding	For in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets
When the grain ripened	And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands
He came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it	When it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles
He came quickly	In those days, that he went out into a mountain
With his sickle in his hand	They shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake
Reaped it	Plucked the ears of corn
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear	A great multitude of people... came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases... Blessed be ye poor... Blessed are ye that hunger now... Blessed are ye that weep now... Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you

(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."     They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"     Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."	[6:24] But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. [6:25] Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. [6:26] Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. [6:27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, [6:28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. [6:29] And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. [6:30] Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. [6:31] And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. [6:32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [6:33] And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [6:34] And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [6:35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [6:36] Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. [6:37] Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: [6:38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. [6:39] And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? [6:40] The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. [6:41] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [6:42] Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. [6:43] For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [6:44] For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. [6:45] A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. [6:46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? [6:47] Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: [6:48] He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock:
Jesus saw infants being suckled	Ye shall be the children of the Highest:
These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom	Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep
Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?	Ye shall be the children of the Highest... then shalt thou see clearly
When you make the two one	And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other
And when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside	And him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also
And the above like the below (Incarnation)	And ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful
And when you make the male and the female one... so that the male not be male nor the female female	And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master
Make... the same	And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same... For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
When... when... when	Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!
When you fashion eyes in the place of an eye... then will you enter the kingdom	And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye
And a hand in place of a hand	Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom...
And a foot in place of a foot	And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
And a likeness in place of a likeness	And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise... Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house
Then will you enter the kingdom	He... built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock

(23) Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one."	[6:48b] and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. [6:49] But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. [7:1] Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. [7:2] And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. [7:3] And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. [7:4] And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
I shall choose you	And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this
One out of a thousand	He... in the audience of the people
Two out of ten thousand	In the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum
And they shall stand	And...the flood arose... and immediately it fell... was sick, and ready to die
... And...stand	And could not shake it
As a single one	Like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth... and the ruin of that house was great

(24) His disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it."     He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness."	[7:5] For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. [7:6] Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: [7:7] Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. [7:8] For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. [7:9] When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. [7:10] And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. [7:11] And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. [7:12] Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. [7:13] And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. [7:14] And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
Show us the place where you are	He loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself
It is necessary for us to seek it	I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof... neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee
Whoever has ears, let him hear	Say in a word, and my servant shall be healed... I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it... Jesus heard these things
There is light within a man of light	I also am a man set under authority... he marvelled at him
And he lights up the whole world	I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel... and many of his disciples went with him, and much people
If he does not shine	The servant... that had been sick... there was a dead man... when the Lord saw... he had compassion
He is darkness	Stood still... Weep not... Young man, I say unto thee, Arise

(25) Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye."	[7:15] And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. [7:16] And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. [7:17] And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. [7:18] And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
Love your brother	He delivered him to his mother
Like your soul	he that was dead sat up
Guard him	There came a fear on all... a great prophet is risen up among us
Like the pupil	All Judaea, and throughout all the region round about
Of your eye	Of him... shewed him of all these things
The pupil of your eye	The disciples of John

(26) Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye."	[7:19] And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [7:20] When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [7:21] And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. [7:22] Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. [7:23] And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. [7:24] And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? [7:25] But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. [7:26] But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
You see the mote in your brother's eye	Look we for another... look we for another
But you do not see the beam in your own eye	And unto many that were blind he gave sight
The beam	Infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits
When you cast the beam out of your own eye	Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen
The beam	The blind... the lame... the lepers... the deaf... the dead... the poor
Then you will see clearly	Then... the blind see... blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me
To cast the mote from your brother's eye	What went ye out into the wilderness for to see... what went ye out for to see... what went ye out for to see... A prophet... much more than a prophet

(27) <Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom. If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father."	[7:27] This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. [7:28] For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. [7:29] And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. [7:30] But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. [7:31] And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? [7:32] They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
You do not fast	Ye have not wept
Regards the world	Among those that are born of women
You will not	There is not
Find the kingdom	He that is least in the kingdom
If you do not observe	But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him
The Sabbath as a Sabbath	Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like
You will not see the father	Behold, I send my messenger before thy face... They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace

(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."	[7:33] For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. [7:34] The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! [7:35] But wisdom is justified of all her children. [7:36] And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. [7:37] And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, [7:38] And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. [7:39] Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. [7:40] And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. [7:41] There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. [7:42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? [7:43] Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. [7:44] And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. [7:45] Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. [7:46] My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. [7:47] Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. [7:48] And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. [7:49] And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? [7:50] And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
I took my place in the midst of the world	The Son of man is come eating and drinking...And he went into the Pharisee's house... Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house
And I appeared to them in flesh	Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners... and sat down to meat... And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner
I found none of them thirsty	But wisdom is justified of all her children... thou gavest me no water
And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men	And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears... she hath washed my feet with tears
They are blind in their hearts and do not have sight	Behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner...  when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner... Simon, Seest thou this woman?
Empty they came into the world	There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.  And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both
Empty too they seek to leave the world	I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet... Thou gavest me no kiss... My head with oil thou didst not anoint
But for the moment they are intoxicated	And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also
When they shake off their wine	She hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head... this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet... this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment
Then they will repent	Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little... Thy sins are forgiven... he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace

(29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."	[8:1] And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, [8:2] And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, [8:3] And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. [8:4] And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: [8:5] A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. [8:6] And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. [8:7] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. [8:8] And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The flesh came into being	It came to pass
Of spirit	Of evil spirits... the fowls of the air
It is a wonder	Out of whom went seven devils
But if spirit came into being because of the body	And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance
It is a wonder of wonders	When much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable
Indeed	A sower went out to sow his seed
I am amazed at how this great wealth	He sowed (his seed)
Has made its home in this poverty	Some fell by the way side... some fell upon a rock... some fell among thorns
This poverty	Other fell on good ground... and bare fruit an hundredfold

(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him."	[8:9] And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? [8:10] And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. [8:11] Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. [8:12] Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. [8:13] They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Where there are three gods, they are gods	Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God... The seed is the word of God
Where there are two or one	Those by the way side are they... They on the rock are they
I am with him	The devil... taketh away the word out of their hearts ... (They) fall away

(31) Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him."	[8:14] And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. [8:15] But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. [8:16] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. [8:17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
No prophet is accepted in his own village	That which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection
Prophet	On the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart... bring forth fruit with patience
Is accepted	Having heard the word, keep it
No physician heals	No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light
Those who know him	For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad
No prophet... No physician	No fruit... No man... nothing

(32) Jesus said, "A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden."	[8:18] Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. [8:19] Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. [8:20] And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. [8:21] And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
A city being built	Then came to him his mother and his brethren... My mother and my brethren
A high mountain	The press
And fortified cannot fall	Thy mother and thy brethren stand without
Nor can it be hidden	Desiring to see thee... these which hear the word of God, and do it

(33) Jesus said, "Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but rather he sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."	[8:22] Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. [8:23] But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. [8:24] And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. [8:25] And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. [8:26] And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. [8:27] And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. [8:28] When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. [8:29] (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) [8:30] And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
Preach from your housetops	He commandeth even the winds and water... he cried out... with a loud voice
That which you will hear in your ear	He went into a ship with his disciples... they were filled with water
For no one lights a lamp	They launched forth... he arose
And puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place	Master, master, we perish... neither abode in any house, but in the tombs
But rather he sets it on a lampstand	Let us go over unto the other side of the lake... the raging of the water... he went forth to land... thou Son of God most high
Everyone who enters and leaves	There met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time... neither abode in any house, but in the tombs... he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man... driven of the devil into the wilderness... Legion: because many devils were entered into him
See its light	There was a calm... they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this... he saw Jesus

(34) Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit."	[8:31] And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. [8:32] And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. [8:33] Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. [8:34] When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. [8:35] Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
A blind man	They besought him... they besought him... the man... the man
Leads	Went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently
A blind man	The swine...the herd ran violently... they that fed them saw what was done, they fled... they went out to see what was done
They will both fall into a pit	They besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep... and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake

(35) Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house."	and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. [8:36] They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. [8:37] Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. [8:38] Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, [8:39] Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. [8:40] And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
It is not possible for anyone	Shew how great things God hath done unto thee
To enter the house of a strong man and take it by force	The man, out of whom the devils were departed... the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them... the man out of whom the devils were departed
Unless he binds his hands	Sitting at the feet of Jesus... how great things Jesus had done unto him
Then he will (be able to) ransack his house	Now the man out of whom the devils were departed... Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house

(36) Jesus said, "Do not be concerned from morning until evening and from evening until morning about what you will wear."	[8:41] And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: [8:42] For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. [8:43] And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, [8:44] Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. [8:45] And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Do not be concerned... about	Jairus = one who God enlightens, he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age... he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him... a woman... spent all her living upon physicians... Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
From morning until evening and from evening until morning	Twelve years... immediately (Notice that the number "twelve" appears twice in this passage)
What you will wear	The border of his garment    (c.f. The Gaderene demoniac clothed and in his right mind, Luke 8:35 and The Joint body Structure)

(37) His disciples said, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?"     Jesus said, "When you disrobe without  being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid"	[8:46] And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. [8:47] And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately. [8:48] And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. [8:49] While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. [8:50] But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. [8:51] And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. [8:52] And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. [8:53] And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. [8:54] And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. [8:55] And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. [8:56] And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. [9:1] Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. [9:2] And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. [9:3] And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you	I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid... she was healed immediately
When you disrobe without being ashamed	And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead... neither have two coats
Take up your garments	Maid, arise. And her spirit came again
And place them under your feet	And she arose straightway
Little children	Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole... Thy daughter... the father and the mother of the maiden... her parents
And tread on them	And gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases
Then will you see the son of the living one	Were astonished... he sent them to preach the kingdom of God
You will not be afraid	Go in peace... she came trembling... Fear not: believe only... Take nothing for your journey

(38) Jesus said, "Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me."	[9:4] And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. [9:5] And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. [9:6] And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. [9:7] Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; [9:8] And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. [9:9] And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. [9:10] And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. [9:11] And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Many times have you desired to hear	John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him
These words which I am saying to you	A testimony... preaching the gospel... he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God

There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me	He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place... And the people, when they knew it, followed him

(39) Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."	[9:12] And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. [9:13] But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. [9:14] For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. [9:15] And they did so, and made them all sit down. [9:16] Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. [9:17] And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. [9:18] And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? [9:19] They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. [9:20] He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. [9:21] And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; [9:22] Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things,
The pharisees and the scribes	Whom say the people that I am
Have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis)	The Christ of God

(40) Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."	and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. [9:23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [9:24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. [9:25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? [9:26] For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. [9:27] But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
A grapevine has been planted outside of the father	Of the elders and chief priests and scribes
The father	The kingdom of God
But being unsound	Be rejected... be slain... be ashamed of me and of my words
It will be pulled up	Be raised the third day...  If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily
By its roots and destroyed	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it... of him shall the Son of man be ashamed... but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it... For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away... there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death

(41) Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more,  and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has."	[9:28] And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. [9:29] And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. [9:30] And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: [9:31] Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. [9:32] But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. [9:33] And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus,
Whoever has something in his hand will receive more	The fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering... there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias... Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem
Receive	Pray... he prayed
And whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has	But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep... they departed from him

(42) Jesus said, "Become passers-by."	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. [9:34] While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Become passers-by	There came a cloud
Become	Master, it is good for us to be here
Passers-by	They feared as they entered into the cloud
(43) His disciples said to him, "Who are you, that you should say these things to us?"     <Jesus said to them,> "You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit and hate the tree."	[9:35] And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. [9:36] And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. [9:37] And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. [9:38] And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. [9:39] And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. [9:40] And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. [9:41] And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. [9:42] And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. [9:43] And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, [9:44] Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. [9:45] But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
Who are you	This is my beloved Son... the Son of man
That you should say these things to us	Hear him... they kept it close, and told no man... those things... they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did... Let these sayings sink down into your ears
You do not realize who I am	Look upon my son: for he is mine only child... they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not
What I say to you	Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation
But you have become like the Jews	And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down
They (either) love the tree and hate its fruit	The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men
Love the fruit	Look upon my son: for he is mine only child
Hate the tree	They feared to ask him of that saying

(44) Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes against the father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven either on earth or in heaven."	[9:46] Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. [9:47] And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, [9:48] And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. [9:49] And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. [9:50] And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. [9:51] And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, [9:52] And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. [9:53] And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. [9:54] And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [9:55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [9:56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Whoever blasphemes... whoever blasphemes... whoever blasphemes	Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me
Against... against... against	Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us
The father	Took a child, and set him by him... receive this child
The son will be forgiven	When the time was come that he should be received up... And they did not receive him... the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them
Holy spirit	We saw one casting out devils in thy name... Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of
Not be forgiven	Wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them
On earth or in heaven	Jerusalem... a village... Jerusalem.... another village

(45) Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."	[9:57] And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. [9:58] And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. [9:59] And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. [9:60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [9:61] And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. [9:62] And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. [10:1] After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. [10:2] Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. [10:3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. [10:4] Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. [10:5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [10:6] And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. [10:7] And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. [10:8] And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
Grapes... figs... fruit	In the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give... eat such things as are set before you
Harvested... gathered	No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God... The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest
Thorns... thistles	Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest... Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head... Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father... Let the dead bury their dead
A good man brings forth good	The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come
From his storehouse	Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it
An evil man brings forth evil things	I send you forth as lambs among wolves
From his evil storehouse, which is in his heart	Go not from house to house
And says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things	Another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house

(46) Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said, whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the kingdom and will become superior to John."	[10:9] And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [10:10] But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, [10:11] Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [10:12] But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. [10:13] Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. [10:14] But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. [10:15] And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. [10:16] He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. [10:17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. [10:18] And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. [10:19] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [10:20] Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Among those born of women	The sick that are therein... into whatsoever city ye enter... the very dust of your city... Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida
From Adam until John the Baptist	They had a great while ago repented
There is no one so superior to John the Baptist	Thou, Capernaum, which art exalted
His eyes should not be lowered	Shalt be thrust down to hell... I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven
Whichever one of you comes to be a child	He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me

(47) Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result."	[10:21] In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. [10:22] All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. [10:23] And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: [10:24] For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. [10:25] And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [10:26] He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? [10:27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. [10:28] And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. [10:29] But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? [10:30] And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. [10:31] And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. [10:32] And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. [10:33] But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, [10:34] And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [10:35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. [10:36] Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? [10:37] And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
It is impossible for a man	Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes... All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him
A man... No man	A certain lawyer... A certain man... a certain priest... a Levite... a certain Samaritan... thou

It is impossible for a servant to serve two masters	Many prophets and kings
He will honor the one	Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself
Treat the other contemptuously	A certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life

Immediately	When he (the priest) saw him... when he (the levite) was at the place... On the morrow when he (the samaritan) departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him... now... Go, and do thou likewise
And new wine	Pouring in oil and wine... compassion... mercy

(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."	[10:38] Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. [10:39] And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. [10:40] But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. [10:41] And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: [10:42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
If two make	Martha... about much serving... Martha, Martha, thou art... about many things Mary... heard his word... Mary

It will move away	That good part, which shall not be taken away

(49) Jesus said, "Blessed are the solitary and elect, for you will find the kingdom. For you are from it, and to it you will return."	[11:1] And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. [11:2] And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. [11:3] Give us day by day our daily bread. [11:4] And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. [11:5] And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight,
Blessed are	Our Father which art... Hallowed be... forgive us our sins; for we also forgive
The solitary and elect	One of his disciples... John also taught his disciples... every one that is indebted to us
You will find the kingdom	He was praying in a certain place... Thy kingdom come...
For you are from it	In heaven, so in earth.... but deliver us from evil
And to it you will return	Thy will be done... lead us not into temptation... and shall go unto him at midnight

(50) Jesus said, " If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'"	and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; [11:6] For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? [11:7] And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. [11:8] I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. [11:9] And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. [11:10] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [11:11] If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? [11:12] Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? [11:13] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? [11:14] And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. [11:15] But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. [11:16] And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. [11:17] But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. [11:18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. [11:19] And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. [11:20] But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. [11:21] When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: [11:22] But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. [11:23] He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
If they say to you... If they say to you... If they ask you	Shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut... I say unto you... Ask, and it shall be given you... every one that asketh receiveth... If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father... if he ask a fish... if he shall ask an egg... If ye then, being evil... some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub... If Satan also be divided against himself... if I by Beelzebub cast out devils... (your sons) shall they be your judges... if I with the finger of God cast out devils
Where did you come from?... We came from the light	A friend of mine in his journey is come to me... when a stronger than he shall come upon him... he that gathereth not with me scattereth
Say to them... say... say to them	Say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves
The place where the light came into being on its own accord... the living father... your father in you	How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him... it came to pass, when the devil was gone out... no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you
Established itself and became manifest	Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth
Through their image... We are its children, we are the elect	(If a son shall ask)... My children are with me in bed... to give good gifts unto your children... by whom do your sons cast them out
What is the sign	Others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven
It is movement and repose	I cannot rise... Though he will not rise... he will rise... he that seeketh findeth... His goods are in peace... and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils

(51) His disciples said to him, "When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the new world come?"     He said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it."	[11:24] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. [11:25] And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. [11:26] Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. [11:27] And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. [11:28] But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. [11:29] And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. [11:30] For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. [11:31] The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
When will... come... When will... come	When... is gone out... I will return... whence I came out... When he cometh... when the people were gathered thick together... she came
Repose	Rest... rise up... Solomon = peaceful
The dead	Seven other spirits more wicked than himself... The last state of that man... a certain woman... Blessed is the womb that bare thee... an evil generation... this generation... this generation
When will the new world come	I will return unto my house whence I came out... when he cometh, he findeth it
What you look forward to has already come	Seeking...they seek a sign... She came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here
But you do not recognize it	Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it... and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet

(52) His disciples said to him, " Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them spoke in you."     He said to them, "You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the dead."	[11:32] The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. [11:33] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. [11:34] The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. [11:35] Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. [11:36] If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. [11:37] And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. [11:38] And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. [11:39] And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. [11:40] Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? [11:41] But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
Twenty-four prophets spoke	The preaching of Jonas
in Israel	In a secret place
All of them spoke in you	All things are clean unto you
You have omitted	Give alms of such things as ye have
The one living in your presence	Behold, a greater than Jonas is here... The light which is in thee... the whole shall be full of light... he went in... that which is within...
Have spoken (only) of the dead	This (evil) generation... a certain Pharisee... the Pharisee... ye Pharisees... Ye fools... and, behold, all things are clean unto you

(53) His disciples said to him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?"     He said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable."	[11:42] But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. [11:43] Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. [11:44] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. [11:45] Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. [11:46] And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. [11:47] Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. [11:48] Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. [11:49] Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: [11:50] That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; [11:51] From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Is circumcision beneficial or not?	Woe unto you, Pharisees... Woe unto you, Pharisees... Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... Woe unto you also, ye lawyers... Woe unto you
If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised	Your fathers killed them... your fathers: for they indeed killed them
From their mother	With burdens grievous to be borne... Said the wisdom of God, I will send them
The true circumcision in spirit	Prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute... the blood of all the prophets, which was shed... the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias

(54) Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven."	[11:52] Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. [11:53] And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: [11:54] Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. [12:1] In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another,
Blessed are	Woe unto you... urge him vehemently... speak of many things... something out of his mouth... they might accuse him

For yours is the kingdom of heaven	For ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves... there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people

(55) Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate his father and his mother cannot become a disciple to me.  And whoever does not hate his brothers and sisters and take up his cross in my way will not be worthy of me."	he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. [12:2] For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. [12:3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. [12:4] And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. [12:5] But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. [12:6] Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? [12:7] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. [12:8] Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: [12:9] But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Whoever does not hate... And whoever does not hate	Beware ye... the Pharisees... Be not afraid of them... I will forewarn you... Fear not therefore... Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God
His father and his mother... his brothers and sisters	Him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God
Cannot become a disciple to me... will not be worthy of me	He that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Take up his cross in my way	Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him

(56) Jesus said, "Whoever has come to understand the world has found (only) a corpse, and whoever has found a corpse is superior to the world."	[12:10] And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. [12:11] And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: [12:12] For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. [12:13] And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. [12:14] And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? [12:15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. [12:16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Whoever has come to understand	Whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man... the Holy Ghost shall teach you
The world... the world	The synagogues... magistrates, and powers... The ground of a certain rich man
Has found (only) a corpse... a corpse	Divide the inheritance... a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth
Whoever has found... is superior	Master... Who made me a judge or a divider over you

(57) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned."	[12:17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [12:18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [12:19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [12:20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [12:21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. [12:22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [12:23] The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [12:24] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? [12:25] And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? [12:26] If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? [12:27] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [12:28] If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? [12:29] And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [12:30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. [12:31] But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. [12:32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [12:33] Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. [12:34] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [12:35] Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
The kingdom of the father	Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things... seek ye the kingdom of God... it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom
A man who had	Whose shall those things be... thou hast much
Good seed... good seed	There will I bestow all my fruits and my goods...  goods laid up for many years
His enemy came by night	Where no thief approacheth
Sowed weeds	Thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on
The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds	If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds	And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?... Fear not, little flock
Pull up the wheat along with them.	The grass, which is to day in the field
The weeds will be plainly visible	Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things... Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning
For on the day of the harvest... they will be pulled up and burned	And to morrow is cast into the oven

(58) Jesus said, "Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life."	[12:36] And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. [12:37] Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. [12:38] And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Blessed is the man who has suffered and found life	Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching... if he shall come... and find them so, blessed are those servants
The man who has suffered	Men that wait for their lord
Found life	He shall... serve them

(59) Jesus said, " Take heed of the living one while you are alive, lest you die and seek to see him and be unable to do so."	[12:39] And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. [12:40] Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. [12:41] Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? [12:42] And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? [12:43] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [12:44] Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. [12:45] But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Take heed	Be ye therefore ready... But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming
Take heed of the living one	Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
While you are alive	What hour the thief would come... For the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not... to give them their portion of meat in due season... when he cometh
Lest you die and seek	When he cometh shall find so doing
See him and be unable to do so	He would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through... he will make him ruler over all

(60) <They saw> a Samaritan carrying a lamb on his way to Judea. He said to his disciples, "That man is round about the lamb."     They said to him, "So that he may kill it and eat it."     He said to them, "While it is alive, he will not eat it, but only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse."     They said to him, "He cannot do so otherwise."     He said to them, "You too, look for a place for yourself within repose, lest you become a corpse and be eaten."	and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; [12:46] The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. [12:47] And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. [12:48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. [12:49] I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already kindled? [12:50] But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! [12:51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: [12:52] For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. [12:53] The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [12:54] And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. [12:55] And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. [12:56] Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? [12:57] Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? [12:58] When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. [12:59] I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. [13:1] There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. [13:2] And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? [13:3] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. [13:4] Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
They saw a Samaritan (a mixed race) carrying a lamb on his way to Judea (the land of the praised)	And will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers... For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three... The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law... Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things... whose blood Pilate had mingled
His disciples	The menservants and maidens... The lord of that servant... And that servant, which knew his lord's will
That man is round about the lamb	I have a baptism to be baptized with... and the officer cast thee into prison
So that he may kill it and eat it	Eat and drink, and to be drunken
While it is alive, he will not eat it	But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished... When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass
But only when he has killed it and it has become a corpse	I tell you, Nay; but rather division
He cannot do so otherwise	Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time
You too, look for a place for yourself within repose	When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison... I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite
Lest you become a corpse and be eaten	Will cut him in sunder... Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them

(61) Jesus said, "Two will rest on a bed: the one will die, and the other will live."     Salome said, "Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch and eaten from my table?"     Jesus said to her, "I am he who exists from the undivided. I was given some of the things of my father."     <...> "I am your disciple."     <...> "Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light, but if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness."	[13:5] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. [13:6] He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [13:7] Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? [13:8] And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: [13:9] And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. [13:10] And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. [13:11] And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. [13:12] And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. [13:13] And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. [13:14] And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. [13:15] The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? [13:16] And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? [13:17] And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. [13:18] Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? [13:19] It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. [13:20] And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? [13:21] It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [13:22] And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Two will rest on a bed	There was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself
The one will die, and the other will live	Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish... cut it down... he was teaching in one of the synagogues... Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity... doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall
Who are you, man, that you ... have come up on my couch and eaten from my table	He came and sought fruit thereon, and found none... I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none... if it bear fruit, well... lead him away to watering... being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound... be loosed... three measures of meal
I am he who exists from the undivided	Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it... Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God
I was given some of the things of my father	All the glorious things that were done by him
I am your disciple	He laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God... All his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced
Therefore I say, if he is destroyed, he will be filled with light	Thou shalt cut it down... It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in... till the whole was leavened
But if he is divided, he will be filled with darkness	Thou hypocrite = dissembler, the outside is not like the inside... It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden

(62) Jesus said, "It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries that I tell my mysteries. Do not let your left (hand) know what your right (hand) is doing."	[13:23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, [13:24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. [13:25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: [13:26] Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. [13:27] But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. [13:28] There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
It is to those who are worthy of my mysteries	Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets
I tell my mysteries	Lord, are there few that be saved?
Do not let	Will seek to enter in, and shall not be able... Lord, Lord, open unto us
Your left (hand)	Many... all ye workers of iniquity
Know	I know you not whence ye are... I know you not whence ye are
What your right (hand) is doing	Strive to enter in at the strait gate

(63) Jesus said, "There was a rich man who had much money. He said, 'I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce, with the result that I shall lack nothing.' Such were his intentions, but that same night he died. Let him who has ears hear."	[13:29] And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. [13:30] And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. [13:31] The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. [13:32] And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. [13:33] Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. [13:34] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! [13:35] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. [14:1] And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. [14:2] And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. [14:3] And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? [14:4] And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
There was a rich man who had much money	There are first which shall be last... certain of the Pharisees... Herod... that fox
I shall put my money to use so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouse with produce	How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not

(64) Jesus said, "A man had received visitors. And when he had prepared the dinner, he sent his servant to invite the guests.     He went to the first one and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said, 'I have claims against some merchants. They are coming to me this evening. I must go and give them my orders. I ask to be excused from the dinner.'     He went to another and said to him, 'My master has invited you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a house and am required for the day. I shall not have any spare time.'     He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'My friend is going to get married, and I am to prepare the banquet. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused from the dinner.'     He went to another and said to him, 'My master invites you.' He said to him, 'I have just bought a farm, and I am on my way to collect the rent. I shall not be able to come. I ask to be excused.'     The servant returned and said to his master, 'Those whom you invited to the dinner have asked to be excused.' The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and merchants will not enter the places of my father." I must go... Go outside to the streets	[14:5] And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? [14:6] And they could not answer him again to these things. [14:7] And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, [14:8] When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; [14:9] And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. [14:10] But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. [14:11] For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. [14:12] Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. [14:13] But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: [14:14] And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. [14:15] And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. [14:16] Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: [14:17] And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. [14:18] And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. [14:19] And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. [14:20] And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. [14:21] So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. [14:22] And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. [14:23] And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. [14:24] For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. [14:25] And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, [14:26] If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. [14:27] And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. [14:28] For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? [14:29] Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, [14:30] Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. [14:31] Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? [14:32] Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. [14:33] So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. [14:34] Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? [14:35] It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. [15:1] Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. [15:2] And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. [15:3] And he spake this parable unto them, saying, [15:4] What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? [15:5] And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. [15:6] And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. [15:7] I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. [15:8] Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? [15:9] And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. [15:10] Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. [15:11] And he said, A certain man had two sons: [15:12] And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. [15:13] And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. [15:14] And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. [15:15] And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. [15:16] And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. [15:17] And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

(65) He said, "There was a good man who owned a vineyard. He leased it to tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the produce from them. He sent his servant so that the tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master. The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them.' He sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear."	[15:18] I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, [15:19] And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. [15:20] And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. [15:21] And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. [15:22] But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: [15:23] And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: [15:24] For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. [15:25] Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. [15:26] And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. [15:27] And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. [15:28] And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. [15:29] And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: [15:30] But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. [15:31] And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. [15:32] It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. [16:1] And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. [16:2] And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. [16:3] Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. [16:4] I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. [16:5] So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? [16:6] And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. [16:7] Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. [16:8] And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. [16:9] And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. [16:10] He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them	For thou mayest be no longer steward... for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship... when I am put out of the stewardship... the lord commended the unjust steward
Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son	And (I) am no more worthy to be called thy son... (I) am no more worthy to be called thy son... Son, thou art ever with me,,, the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely... the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light
Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir	But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots... all that I have is thine
They seized him and killed him	This my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found... thy father hath killed the fatted calf... thou hast killed for him
Let him who has ears hear	How is it that I hear this of thee... he heard musick and dancing

(66) Jesus said, "Show me the stone which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone."	[16:11] If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? [16:12] And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? [16:13] No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [16:14] And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Show me the stone which	Who will commit to your trust the true riches... who shall give you that which is your own

(67) Jesus said,  "If one who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely deficient."	[16:15] And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. [16:16] The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. [16:17] And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. [16:18] Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. [16:19] There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
If one who knows the all	God knoweth your hearts
Still feels a personal deficiency	Ye are they which justify yourselves before men... The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail... There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day

(68) Jesus said, "Blessed are you when you are hated and persecuted. Wherever you have been persecuted they will find no place."	[16:20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, [16:21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. [16:22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; [16:23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. [16:24] And he cried and 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. [16:25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
Blessed are you when	And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom... and Lazarus in his bosom
You are hated	here was a certain beggar named Lazarus... And desiring to be fed with the crumbs
And persecuted	The crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores... and likewise Lazarus evil things
Wherever you have been persecuted	Which (who) was laid at his gate, full of sores... And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off... And he cried and 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
They will find no place	The rich man also died, and was buried... for I am tormented in this flame

(69) Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have been persecuted within themselves. It is they who have truly come to know the father. Blessed are the hungry, for the belly of him who desires will be filled."	but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [16:26] And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. [16:27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: [16:28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. [16:29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. [16:30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. [16:31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. [17:1] Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! [17:2] It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [17:3] Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;
Blessed are they... Blessed are the hungry	Now he is comforted... but woe unto him, through whom they come... It were better for him
Who have been persecuted within themselves	Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed... Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him
It is they who have truly come to know	That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment... They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them... but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent... If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded
The father	I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren... Nay, father Abraham
For the belly of him who desires will be filled	And he cast into the sea

(70) Jesus said, "That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves. That which you do not have within you will kill you if you do not have it within you."	and if he repent, forgive him. [17:4] And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. [17:5] And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. [17:6] And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. [17:7] But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? [17:8] And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? [17:9] Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. [17:10] So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you,
That which you have	Increase our faith... If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed
Will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves	If he repent, forgive him... I repent; thou shalt forgive him... ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you
That which you do not have within you	But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle
Will kill you	Gird thyself, and serve me... ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you
If you do not have it within you	Till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink

(71) Jesus said, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it [...]."	say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. [17:11] And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. [17:12] And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: [17:13] And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

(72) A man said to him, "Tell my brothers to divide my father's possessions with me."     He said to him, "O man, who has made me a divider?"     He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?"	[17:14] And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. [17:15] And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, [17:16] And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. [17:17] And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? [17:18] There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. [17:19] And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. [17:20] And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [17:21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. [17:22] And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. [17:23] And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. [17:24] For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
A man... O man	One of them... he was a Samaritan... save this stranger
Tell my brothers	Go shew yourselves unto the priests... Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine

(73) Jesus said, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Beseech the Lord, therefore, to send out laborers to the harvest."	[17:25] But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. [17:26] And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [17:27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [17:28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [17:29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [17:30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [17:31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

(74) He said, "O Lord, there are many around the drinking trough, but there is nothing in the cistern."	[17:32] Remember Lot's wife. [17:33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. [17:34] I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. [17:35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [17:36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(75) Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."	[17:37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. [18:1] And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [18:2] Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [18:3] And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. [18:4] And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; [18:5] Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Many	Which feared not God, neither regarded man... I fear not God, nor regard man
Standing at the door	Wheresoever the body is... and not to faint
But it is the solitary	Men ought always to pray... And there was a widow in that city
Who will enter the bridal chamber	Thither will the eagles be gathered together... she came unto him...

(76) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a merchant who had a consignment of merchandise and who discovered a pearl. That merchant was shrewd. He sold the merchandise and bought the pearl alone for himself. You too, seek his unfailing and enduring treasure where no moth comes near to devour and no worm destroys."	[18:6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [18:7] And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? [18:8] I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? [18:9] And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: [18:10] Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. [18:11] The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. [18:12] I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. [18:13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. [18:14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. [18:15] And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. [18:16] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. [18:17] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. [18:18] And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [18:19] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
The kingdom of the father is like a merchant	The Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge... when the Son of man cometh... Good Master

(77) Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the all. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."	[18:20] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. [18:21] And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. [18:22] Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. [18:23] And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. [18:24] And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [18:25] For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [18:26] And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? [18:27] And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. [18:28] Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. [18:29] And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, [18:30] Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
It is I who am the light	Thou knowest the commandments  (C.f. Proverbs 6:23)
Which is above them all... It is I who am the all	Honour thy father and thy mother... All these (commandments) have I kept from my youth up... sell all that thou hast... parents, or brethren, or wife, or children
From me did the all come forth	Come, follow me... Lo, we have left all, and followed thee
And unto me did the all extend	The things which are impossible with men are possible with God
Split a piece of wood, and I am there	For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye (C.f. An ancient wooden needle for making nets. And Jesus the camel)
Lift up the stone, and you will find me there	Enter into the kingdom of God... enter into the kingdom of God... There is no man that hath left house... for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting

(78) Jesus said, "Why have you come out into the desert? To see a reed shaken by the wind? And to see a man clothed in fine garments like your kings and your great men? Upon them are the fine garments, and they are unable to discern the truth."	[18:31] Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. [18:32] For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: [18:33] And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. [18:34] And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. [18:35] And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: [18:36] And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. [18:37] And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. [18:38] And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. [18:39] And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. [18:40] And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, [18:41] Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
Why have you come out into the desert	We go up to Jerusalem... hearing the multitude pass by... he cried... they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace
To see a reed shaken by the wind	Behold... all things that are written... shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again

(79) A woman from the crowd said to him, "Blessed are the womb which bore you and the breasts which nourished you."     He said to her, "Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father and have truly kept it. For there will be days when you will say, 'Blessed are the womb which has not conceived and the breasts which have not given milk.'"	[18:42] And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. [18:43] And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. [19:1] And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. [19:2] And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. [19:3] And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. [19:4] And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. [19:5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. [19:6] And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. [19:7] And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. [19:8] And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. [19:9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. [19:10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. [19:11] And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Blessed are the womb which bore you	Jesus entered and passed through Jericho
And the breasts which nourished you	Behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich
Blessed are those who have heard the word of the father	And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee... And said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house
And have truly kept it	And immediately he received his sight, and followed him... And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully
For there will be days when you will say	And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying
Blessed are the womb which has not conceived	This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham
And the breasts which have not given milk	The half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold

(80) Jesus said, "He who has recognized the world has found the body, but he who has found the body is superior to the world."	[19:12] He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. [19:13] And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. [19:14] But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. [19:15] And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. [19:16] Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

[19:17] And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. [19:18] And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. [19:19] And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. [19:20] And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: [19:21] For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

(82) Jesus said, "He who is near me is near the fire, and he who is far from me is far from the kingdom."	[19:22] And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: [19:23] Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? [19:24] And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. [19:25] (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) [19:26] For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
He who is near me	Unto him... Thou knewest that I was an austere man... And he said unto them that stood by... give it to him that hath ten pounds... unto him... Lord, he hath ten pounds... unto you
Is near the fire	At my coming I might have required mine own with usury
And he who is far from me	Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee
Far from the kingdom	Thou wicked servant... Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank... and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him

(83) Jesus said, "The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light."	[19:27] But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. [19:28] And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. [19:29] And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, [19:30] Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. [19:31] And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. [19:32] And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. [19:33] And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? [19:34] And they said, The Lord hath need of him. [19:35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. [19:36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
The images are manifest to man	But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me
But the light... of the light of the father... by his light	When he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem... he was come nigh... he sent... the Lord... The Lord... Jesus... he went... in the way
In them remains concealed in the image... but his image	Two of his disciples... in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither... Why do ye loose him... hath need of him... they were loosing the colt... Why loose ye the colt... hath need of him... thereon
He will become manifest	And found even as he had said unto them
Will remain concealed	And they cast their garments upon the colt... they spread their clothes

(84) Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images which came into being before you, and which neither die not become manifest, how much you will have to bear!"	[19:37] And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; [19:38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. [19:39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. [19:40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. [19:41] And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, [19:42] Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. [19:43] For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, [19:44] And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
When you see... But when you see	When... they had seen... he beheld the city... If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day
Your likeness	The disciples... thy disciples... thy children within thee
You rejoice	Began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works... if these should hold their peace... would immediately cry out
Your images	The stones... they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another
Which came into being before you	He was come nigh... Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord... he was come near... For the days shall come upon thee
Which neither die	Thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side... And shall lay thee even with the ground... of thy visitation
Not become manifest	Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest... the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes
How much you will have to bear	And wept over it

(85) Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and a great wealth, but he did not become worthy of you. For had he been worthy, he would not have experienced death."	[19:45] And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; [19:46] Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. [19:47] And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, [19:48] And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. [20:1] And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, [20:2] And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? [20:3] And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: [20:4] The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Adam came into being	And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein... And he taught daily in the temple... as he taught the people in the temple
From a great power	My house is the house of prayer... and preached the gospel... by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority
A great wealth	But ye have made it a den of thieves
But he did not become worthy of you	But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him... the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders
For had he been worthy	Was it from heaven, or of men
He would not have experienced death	The baptism of John

(86) Jesus said, "The foxes have their holes and the birds have their nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head and rest."	[20:5] And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? [20:6] But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. [20:7] And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. [20:8] And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. [20:9] Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. [20:10] And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
The foxes have their holes	Let it forth to husbandmen... but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty
The birds have their nests	All the people... A certain man planted a vineyard... went into a far country for a long time... that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard
But the son of man	From heaven... Of men... Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things
No place to lay his head and rest	John was a prophet

(87) Jesus said, "Wretched is the body that is dependant upon a body, and wretched is the soul that is dependent on these two."	[20:11] And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. [20:12] And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. [20:13] Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. [20:14] But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. [20:15] So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Wretched is the body	They beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty... and they wounded him also, and cast him out... let us kill him... So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him
Is dependant upon a body	What shall I do... that the inheritance may be ours
And wretched is the soul	They reasoned among themselves
Is dependent on these two	What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them

(88) Jesus said, "The angels and the prophets will come to you and give to you those things you (already) have. And you too, give them those things which you have, and say to yourselves, 'When will they come and take what is theirs?'"	[20:16] He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. [20:17] And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? [20:18] Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. [20:19] And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. [20:20] And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. [20:21] And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: [20:22] Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
The angels and the prophets will come to you... When will they come	He shall come and destroy these husbandmen... And when they heard it, they said, God forbid
Give to you	And shall give the vineyard to others
Those things you (already) have	What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner... that stone
And you too, give them those things which you have	And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him
Say to yourselves	They perceived that he had spoken this parable against them... that they might take hold of his words... Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly
Take what is theirs	Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no

(89) Jesus said, "Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Do you not realize that he who made the inside is the same one who made the outside?"	[20:23] But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? [20:24] Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. [20:25] And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. [20:26] And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. [20:27] Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, [20:28] Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. [20:29] There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. [20:30] And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. [20:31] And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
Why do you wash	Why tempt ye me?
The outside of the cup	Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it
Do you not realize	He perceived their craftiness
He who made... is the same one who made	Render therefore... unto God the things which be God's
The inside	Die without children... raise up seed... die without children... died without children... died childless... no children, and died
The outside	Having a wife... take his wife... took a wife... took her to wife... took her

(90) Jesus said, "Come unto me, for my yoke is easy and my lordship is mild, and you will find repose for yourselves."	[20:32] Last of all the woman died also. [20:33] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. [20:34] And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: [20:35] But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: [20:36] Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. [20:37] Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Come unto me	They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world... the children of God

(91) They said to him, "Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you."     He said to them, "You read the face of the sky and of the earth, but you have not recognized the one who is before you, and  you do not know how to read this moment."	[20:38] For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. [20:39] Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. [20:40] And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. [20:41] And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? [20:42] And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, [20:43] Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. [20:44] David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? [20:45] Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, [20:46] Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; [20:47] Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. [21:1] And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. [21:2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. [21:3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: [21:4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God:
Tell us who you are	For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him... How say they that Christ is David's son... David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son
So that we may believe in you	Master, thou hast well said
You read	In the book of Psalms... Beware of the scribes
The face of the sky	Sit thou on my right hand... the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts
Of the earth	Till I make thine enemies thy footstool...
But you have not recognized the one who is before you	And for a shew make long prayers... And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury... And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites
You do not know how to read this moment	Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all... For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God

(92) Jesus said, "Seek and you will find. Yet, what you asked me about in former times and which I did not tell you then, now I do desire to tell, but you do not inquire after it."	but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. [21:5] And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, [21:6] As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [21:7] And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? [21:8] And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. [21:9] But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. [21:10] Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

(93) <Jesus said,> "Do not give what is holy to dogs, lest they throw them on the dung-heap. Do not throw the pearls to swine, lest they [...] it [...]."	[21:11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [21:12] But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. [21:13] And it shall turn to you for a testimony. [21:14] Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: [21:15] For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. [21:16] And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. [21:17] And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. [21:18] But there shall not an hair of your head perish. [21:19] In your patience possess ye your souls.

(94) Jesus said, "He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in."	[21:20] And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. [21:21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. [21:22] For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. [21:23] But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

(95) Jesus said, "If you have money, do not lend it at interest, but give it to one from whom you will not get it back."	[21:24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. [21:25] And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [21:26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [21:27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [21:28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

(96) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman. She took a little leaven, concealed it in some dough, and made it into large loaves. Let him who has ears hear."	[21:29] And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; [21:30] When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. [21:31] So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. [21:32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. [21:33] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [21:34] And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. [21:35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. [21:36] Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. [21:37] And in the day time he was teaching in the temple;
The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman	Behold the fig tree, and all the trees

Concealed it in some dough	Ye see and know of your own selves... when ye see these things come to pass, know ye... your hearts... that day come upon you unawares... Watch ye therefore, and pray always
And made it	When they now shoot forth... till all be fulfilled... all these things that shall come to pass
Large loaves	This generation... Heaven and earth... the whole earth
Let him who has ears hear	My words shall not pass away... take heed to yourselves... he was teaching in the temple

(97) Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a certain woman who was carrying a jar full of meal. While she was walking on the road, still some distance from home, the handle of the jar broke and the meal emptied out behind her on the road. She did not realize it; she had noticed no accident. When she reached her house, she set the jar down and found it empty."	and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. [21:38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. [22:1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. [22:2] And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. [22:3] Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. [22:4] And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. [22:5] And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. [22:6] And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. [22:7] Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. [22:8] And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. [22:9] And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? [22:10] And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. [22:11] And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [22:12] And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. [22:13] And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. [22:14] And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. [22:15] And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: [22:16] For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. [22:17] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: [22:18] For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. [22:19] And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

[22:20] Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. [22:21] But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. [22:22] And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! [22:23] And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. [22:24] And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. [22:25] And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. [22:26] But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. [22:27] For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. [22:28] Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. [22:29] And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; [22:30] That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [22:31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
The kingdom of the father is	And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest
Like a certain man who wanted	Likewise also the cup...This cup... truly the Son of man goeth
To kill a powerful man... Then he slew the powerful man	But woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed... And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest... For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth... And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat
In his own house	Judging the twelve tribes of Israel
He drew his sword and stuck it into the wall	The new testament in my blood, which is shed for you... Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations
In order to find out	And they began to inquire among themselves
Whether his hand could carry through	The hand of him that betrayeth me... which of them it was that should do this thing

(99) The disciples said to him, "Your brothers and your mother are standing outside."     He said to them, "Those here who do the will of my father are my brothers and my mother. It is they who will enter the kingdom of my father."	[22:32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. [22:33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. [22:34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. [22:35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. [22:36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. [22:37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. [22:38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. [22:39] And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. [22:40] And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. [22:41] And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, [22:42] Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
The disciples	Strengthen thy brethren
Your brothers and your mother are standing outside	Thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me... he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end... remove this cup from me

(100) They showed Jesus a gold coin and said to him, "Caesar's men demand taxes from us."     He said to them, "Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, give God what belongs to God, and give me what is mine."	[22:43] And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. [22:44] And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. [22:45] And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, [22:46] And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. [22:47] And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. [22:48] But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? [22:49] When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? [22:50] And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. [22:51] And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. [22:52] Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

(101) <Jesus said,> " Whoever does not hate his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me. And whoever does not love his father and his mother as I do cannot become a disciple to me. For my mother [...], but my true mother gave me life."	[22:53] When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. [22:54] Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. [22:55] And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. [22:56] But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. [22:57] And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. [22:58] And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. [22:59] And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. [22:60] And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. [22:61] And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Whoever does not... as I do... as I do	Then took they him, and led him... Peter followed afar off

But my true mother gave me life	The Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord

(102) Jesus said, "Woe to the pharisees, for they are like a dog sleeping in the manger of oxen, for neither does he eat nor does he let the oxen eat."	[22:62] And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. [22:63] And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. [22:64] And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? [22:65] And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. [22:66] And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, [22:67] Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: [22:68] And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. [22:69] Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. [22:70] Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

(103) Jesus said, "Fortunate is the man who knows where the brigands will enter, so that he may get up, muster his domain, and arm himself before they invade."	[22:71] And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. [23:1] And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. [23:2] And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. [23:3] And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. [23:4] Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. [23:5] And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. [23:6] When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. [23:7] And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

(104) They said to Jesus, "Come, let us pray today and let us fast."     Jesus said, "What is the sin that I have committed, or wherein have I been defeated? But when the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber, then let them fast and pray."	[23:8] And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. [23:9] Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. [23:10] And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. [23:11] And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. [23:12] And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. [23:13] And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, [23:14] Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: [23:15] No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. [23:16] I will therefore chastise him, and release him. [23:17] (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) [23:18] And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas
Come, let us pray today	He was desirous to see him of a long season
And let us fast	And he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him
What is the sin that I have committed	Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him... Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people... nothing worthy of death is done unto him
Wherein have I been defeated	Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him... I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him... I will therefore chastise him, and release him
When the bridegroom leaves the bridal chamber	When Herod saw Jesus... the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves... And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people
Then let them fast and pray	(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas

(105) Jesus said, "He who knows the father and the mother will be called the son of a harlot."	[23:19] (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) [23:20] Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. [23:21] But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. [23:22] And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. [23:23] And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

(106) Jesus said, "When you make the two one, you will become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain, move away,' it will move away."	[23:24] And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. [23:25] And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. [23:26] And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. [23:27] And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. [23:28] But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. [23:29] For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. [23:30] Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
When you make the two one	They laid hold upon one Simon... and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus... the days are coming... there followed him a great company of people
You will become the sons of man	Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children... Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck
When you say, 'Mountain	Then shall they begin to say to the mountains
Move away,' it will move away	Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us

(107) Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of them, the largest, went astray. He left the ninety-nine sheep and looked for that one until he found it. When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep, 'I care for you more than the ninety-nine.'"	[23:31] For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? [23:32] And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. [23:33] And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. [23:34] Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. [23:35] And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. [23:36] And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, [23:37] And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. [23:38] And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. [23:39] And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. [23:40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? [23:41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. [23:42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. [23:43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
The kingdom is like a shepherd	If he be Christ, the chosen of God
Who had a hundred sheep	There were also two other, malefactors... the malefactors
One of them, the largest, went astray... and looked for that one until he found it	One on the right hand... And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him
He left the ninety-nine sheep	The other on the left... He saved others... the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation
When he had gone to such trouble, he said to the sheep	For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry

(108) Jesus said, "He who will drink from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become he, and the things that are hidden will be revealed to him."	[23:44] And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. [23:45] And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. [23:46] And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. [23:47] Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. [23:48] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. [23:49] And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
He who will drink from my mouth	Jesus had cried with a loud voice
Will become like me	The veil of the temple was rent in the midst
I myself shall become he	Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost
And the things that are hidden	And there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened... Certainly this was a righteous man.

(109) Jesus said, "The kingdom is like a man who had a hidden treasure in his field without knowing it. And after he died, he left it to his son. The son did not know (about the treasure). He inherited the field and sold it. And the one who bought it went plowing and found the treasure. He began to lend money at interest to whomever he wished."	[23:50] And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just: [23:51] (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. [23:52] This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. [23:53] And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. [23:54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. [23:55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. [23:56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. [24:1] Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. [24:2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. [24:3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. [24:4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: [24:5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? [24:6] He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, [24:7] Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. [24:8] And they remembered his words, [24:9] And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

(110) Jesus said, "Whoever finds the world and becomes rich, let him renounce the world."	[24:10] It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. [24:11] And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. [24:12] Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. [24:13] And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. [24:14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

(111) Jesus said, "The heavens and the earth will be rolled up in your presence. And the one who lives from the living one will not see death." Does not Jesus say, "Whoever finds himself is superior to the world?"	[24:15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. [24:16] But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. [24:17] And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? [24:18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass therein these days? [24:19] And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: [24:20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. [24:21] But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. [24:22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; [24:23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

(112) Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh."	[24:24] And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. [24:25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: [24:26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? [24:27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. [24:28] And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
Woe to the flesh... the flesh	The sepulchre... Ought not Christ to have suffered these things
That depends on... that depends on	Believe all that the prophets have spoken... And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself
The soul; woe to the soul	Found it even so as the women had said... O fools, and slow of heart

(113) His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"     <Jesus said,> "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."	[24:29] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. [24:30] And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. [24:31] And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. [24:32] And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? [24:33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, [24:34] Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. [24:35] And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. [24:36] And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. [24:37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. [24:38] And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? [24:39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. [24:40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
When will the kingdom come?	It came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them
It will not come by waiting for it	Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them
It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is	Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread
Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth	Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you

(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life."     Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For will every woman who will make herself maleenter the kingdom of heaven."	[24:41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? [24:42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. [24:43] And he took it, and did eat before them. [24:44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. [24:45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, [24:46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: [24:47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. [24:48] And ye are witnesses of these things. [24:49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. [24:50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. [24:51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. [24:52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: [24:53] And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
Let Mary leave us	While I was yet with you... he was parted from them
Women are not worthy of life	They yet believed not for joy, and wondered
I myself shall lead her	Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures... he led them out as far as to Bethany
In order to make her male... resembling you males	Ye are witnesses of these things
That she too may become a living spirit	preached in his name among all nations... I send the promise of my Father upon you... until ye be endued with power from on high... while he blessed them
Every woman who will make herself male	All things must be fulfilled, which were written... that repentance and remission of sins should be
That she too may become a living spirit	I send the promise (the spirit) of my Father upon you... be endued with power from on high
Enter the kingdom of heaven	He was... carried up into heaven... they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God
