Peace be with you. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen. Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!  

Peace be with you. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen. Hear O Israel. The Lord our God, the Lord is one!  

Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the Word delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order most excellent Friend of God, that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.  

Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the Word delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order most excellent Friend of God, that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were "in-struct-ted".  

Let us begin.

Let us begin.

For God having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain of transfiguration. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. But grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, God, who is in the bosom of the Father has declared him.

Without "contro-versy" the core mystery of truly godly religion is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. Therefore as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for I delight in these things” says the LORD.

Let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for I delight in these things says the LORD.  

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up in the sight of all, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed that they have been done in God.

He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What he has seen and heard, of that, he testifies; and no one receives his witness. He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Not everyone who calls him “Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of his Father in heaven.  

Not everyone who calls him Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of his Father in heaven.  

God will pay back to everyone according to their works: to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation, oppression, and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. But glory, honor, and peace, go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. For there is no partiality with God.

Jesus said, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent”:  

Jesus said, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent:  

“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?” Belief by itself, if it has no works, is dead. You say you believe in God. Even the demons believe: and they shudder. As a body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so belief without works is dead. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. And he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. But Jesus said to them, “As the Father has sent me: even so I send you. Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me, rejects him who sent me.” He said “My Teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the Teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.” And he said, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him: and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say? Belief by itself, if it has no works, is dead. You say you believe in God. Even the demons believe: and they shudder.

He said My Teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the Teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. And he said, If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him: and we will come to him and make our home with him.  

“Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot endure to hear my word. Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot endure to hear my word. Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.  

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.”

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.  

Amen. Yes. Come Lord Jesus.  

Amen. Yes. Come Lord Jesus.  

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!  

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!  

Now. As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face who will prepare your way before you: the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!’ ” There came a man sent from God whose name was John. The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

And so it was, that in the days of Herod the king of Judea there was a certain priest named "Zacka-rye-us" of the priestly division of "Abbyeja". He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division, according to the custom of the priest’s office his lot was to enter into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense. The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.  

An angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense. "Zacka-rye-us" was troubled when he saw him and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid "Zacka-rye-us", because your request has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

"Zacka-rye-us" said to the angel, How can I be sure of this, for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.  

"Zacka-rye-us" said to the angel, How can I be sure of this, for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.  

The people were waiting for "Zacka-rye-us", and they marveled that he delayed in the Temple. When he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the Temple. He continued making signs to them and remained mute. When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.

After these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months saying, Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary. She was consecrated to the Lord as a perpetual virgin according to the law of the Lord; and possessing an inheritance of her father according to the law of the Lord, a descendant of David according to the flesh, she was pledged to be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father according to the law of the Lord. And Joseph, of David’s house, was a just man who feared the Lord, and according to the law of the Lord he would not make void her consecration to the Lord. Having come in, the angel said to her, I salute you full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!

Having come in, the angel said to her, I salute you full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!  

But when she saw him she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. The angel said to her, Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son and will call his name ‘Jesus.’ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.

Mary said to the angel, How can this be, seeing I am a virgin, I do not know man. For she was consecrated to the Lord.  

Mary said to the angel, How can this be, seeing I am a virgin, I do not know man. For she was consecrated to the Lord.  

:And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they keep away from the holy things of the people of Israel which they dedicate to me, so that they may not profane my holy name in what they consecrate to me: I am the Lord. Say to them, ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations who approaches the holy things which the people of Israel dedicate to the Lord, having an uncleanness, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord.

:Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the descendants of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the descendants of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Neither shall the inheritance be transferred from tribe to tribe, but every one of the tribes of Israel shall keep to himself his own inheritance.

:Every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the descendants of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the descendants of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Neither shall the inheritance be transferred from tribe to tribe, but every one of the tribes of Israel shall keep to himself his own inheritance, this is the law of Moses.  

 

:This is the law of Moses.  

For this reason, possessing an inheritance, even a consecrated virgin vowed to the Lord to know no man, is pledged to be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father according to the law of Moses, and still remain a virgin consecrated to God, bound by vow to the Lord. And Mary, being vowed to the Lord by her parents when she was a child, and consecrated to God by them as holy to the Lord, as a perpetual virgin to not know a man, a vow she had not made, which her husband therefore could not make void; when the angel told her she would conceive in her womb and bear a son, for this reason Mary said to the angel, How can this be, seeing I am a virgin, I do not know man. For she was consecrated to the Lord.

They all marveled. His father "Zacka-rye-us" was filled with the Holy Spirit, his mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God and prophesied saying, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people; and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old) salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. To show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant, the oath which he swore to Abraham our father to grant to us that we; being delivered out of the hand of our enemies; should serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us, to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea. All who heard them laid them up in their heart saying What then will this child be?

The hand of the Lord was with him.  

The hand of the Lord was with him.  

But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She shall give birth to a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.

Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying, Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;” which is being interpreted God with us. Joseph arose from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; and he did not know her sexually at any time before she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus (which means God saves).

Now this is an account of the ancestry of Joseph son of David. Jacob was the father of Joseph the son of "Heeligh", according to what is written in the law of the Lord, If brethren dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.  

Now this is an account of the ancestry of Joseph son of David. Jacob was the father of Joseph the son of "Heeligh", according to what is written in the law of the Lord, If brethren dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger.

It shall be that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.  

And Jacob was the half-brother of "Heeligh", according to "You see be-us", born of one woman, "Esstha" their mother, who was wife to "Matt than" and to "Matt that", first to one and then to the other in succession; for the law of Moses does not forbid a widow to marry again. Thus Jacob the son of "Matt than" of the house of David became the father of Joseph the son of "Heeligh" the son of "Matt that" of the house of David.  

And Jacob was the half-brother of "Heeligh", according to "You see be-us", born of one woman, "Esstha" their mother, who was wife to "Matt than" and to "Matt that", first to one and then to the other in succession; for the law of Moses does not forbid a widow to marry again. Thus Jacob the son of "Matt than" of the house of David became the father of Joseph the son of "Heeligh" the son of "Matt that" of the house of David.  

And this is the genealogy of Joseph son of David. The sons of David who were born to him in Hebron: "Ammnon", Daniel, Absalom, "Ad-doNyja", "Shepha-tiah", "Ithree-amm": six were born to him in Hebron. And these were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar, "Eleeshama", "Elleefellet", Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, "Eleeshama", "El-yada", and "Elleefellet", nine. All these were the sons of David. These are the heads of the clans of the house of David.
