When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, about three or four miles, and seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the "Seegh". About the fourth watch of the night he came to them walking on the sea, and he would have passed "by-them". But they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. When they saw him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a "ghost" and cried "out", for they all saw him and were troubled. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were troubled saying "It-is a-Ghost", And they cried out for fear.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, he immediately spoke with them saying, I "am": Do not be afraid, and he said to them, Cheer "up". I "am": Do not be afraid.  

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, he immediately spoke with them saying, "Aye-yam": Do not be afraid, and he said to them, Cheer "up". "Aye-yam": Do not be afraid.  

Peter answered him and said, Lord if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.  

Peter answered him and said, Lord if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.  

They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. He got into the boat with them; and when they got up into the boat the wind ceased. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going, and they were very amazed among themselves and marveled; for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him saying, You are truly the Son of "God".

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of "Gen-nessaret", they came to land at "Gen-nessaret" and moored to the shore. When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him. When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard "he-was", and brought to him all who were sick; and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

On the next day, that is, the day after the feeding of the five thousand, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea in the synagogue as he Taught in Capernaum, they asked him Rabbi, when did you come here?

However, boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to "Cap Ernay-um" seeking Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, in the synagogue, as he Taught in "Cap Ernay-um" they asked him, Rabbi, when did you come here?  

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled. Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.  

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.  

They said therefore to him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?  

They said therefore to him, What must we "dew" that we may work the works of God?  

Jesus answered them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.  

Jesus answered them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.  

They said therefore to him, What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you do? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.  

They said therefore to him, What then do you do for a sign, that we may see and believe you? What work do you "dew"? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness. As it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.  

Jesus therefore said to them, Most certainly I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.  

Jesus therefore said to them, Most certainly I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.  

They said therefore to him, Lord, always give us this bread.  

They said therefore to him, Lord, always give us this bread.  

Jesus said to them, I AM the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe. All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day. This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.  

Jesus said to them, "Aye-yam" the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you do not believe. All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I AM the bread which came down out of heaven. They said, Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, I have come down out of heaven?

The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said I AM the bread which came down out of heaven. they said, Is this not Jesus the son of Joseph whose father and mother we know"? How then does he say I have come down out of heaven.

Therefore Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets, They will all be taught by God.  

Therefore Jesus answered them, Do not murmur among yourselves. "No-one" can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the prophets, They will all be taught by God.  

Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father. Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. I AM the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. I AM the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.  

Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to "Meegh". Not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. "Aye-yam" the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. "Aye-yam" the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.  

The Jews therefore contended with one another saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

The Jews therefore contended with one another saying, How can this man give us his "flesh" to eat.

Jesus therefore said to them, Most certainly I tell you, unless you actually eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. He who actually eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is indeed food, and my blood is indeed drink. He who actually eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who physically feeds on me, he will also live because of me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who actually eats this bread will live forever.  

Jesus therefore said to them, Most certainly I tell you, unless you actually eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves. He who actually eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is indeed food, and my blood is indeed drink. He who actually eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in "hymn". As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who physically feeds on me, he will also "liv" because of me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as our fathers ate the manna and died. He who actually eats this bread will live forever.  

He said these things in the synagogue as he Taught in Capernaum. Therefore many of his followers, when they heard this, said This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?

He said these things in the synagogue as he Taught in "Cap Ernay-um". Therefore many of his followers, when they heard "this", said, This is a hard saying, "Who" can "listen-to-it".

But Jesus knowing in himself that his followers his disciples murmured at this said to them, Does this cause you to falter"? Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. But there are some of you who do not believe.

He said, For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.  

He said, For this cause I have said to you that "no-one" can come to me unless it is given to him by my Father.  

At this, many of his followers went back, and walked no more with him. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, You do not also want to go away, do you?  

At this, many of his followers went back and walked no more with him. Jesus said therefore to the twelve, You do not also want to go away do you"?  

Simon Peter answered him, Lord to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.  

Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know, that you are the Christ the Son of the living God.  

Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil”?  

Jesus answered them, Did I not choose "yew" the twelve, and one of you is a devil”?  

Now he spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. His brethren therefore said to him, Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the Temple and Taught. The Jews therefore marveled saying, How does this man know the writings, having never studied?  

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the Temple and Taught. The Jews therefore marveled saying, How does this man know the writings, having never studied?  

Jesus answered them, I did one work and you all marvel because of it. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath"? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, Is this not he whom they seek to kill"? Behold, he speaks openly and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ"? However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.

The Christ is the Anointed of God. Jesus therefore cried out in the Temple''',''' Teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where '''I AM''' from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know. I know him, because '''I AM''' from him, and he sent me.”

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. You will seek me, and will not find me. You cannot come where I AM.

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.  

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.  

Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last.

Jesus answered them, Even if I testify about myself my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I AM going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I AM going. You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I AM not alone, but I AM with the Father who sent me. It is also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. I AM one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.  

Jesus answered them, Even if I testify about myself my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I AM going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I AM going.

Most certainly I tell you, one who does not enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber. But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they do not know the voice of strangers.

Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was telling them. Jesus therefore said to them again, Most certainly I tell you, I AM the sheep’s door. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I AM the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and does not care for the sheep. I AM the good shepherd. I know my own, and I AM known by my own; even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.

They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. They were astonished beyond measure saying, He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!

I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth is released in heaven.  

Jesus answered him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. I also tell you that you are Peter (the word means, stone. and, rock), and on this rock I will build my Assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth is released in heaven.  

But then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. He warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be "raised-up".

He commanded them that they should tell no one about him. He began to Teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. He spoke to them openly. Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Far be it from you Lord! This will never be done to you.

But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.

On the next day, as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Do not tell anyone what you saw, before the Son of Man has risen from the dead.  

On the next day, as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Do not tell anyone what you saw, before the Son of Man has risen from the dead.  

He commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, before the Son of Man shall have risen from the dead. They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen. His disciples, they asked him, saying, Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

Jesus answered them, Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man? that he should suffer many things and be despised. But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.

He came to Capernaum.  

He came to "Cap Ernay-um".  

An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest. But they said nothing about this to him. Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side, and said to them, Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.

When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins, the double-drachma coins, for the regular Temple tax came to Peter, and said, Does your Teacher not pay the didrachma”?  

When they had come to "Cap Ernay-um", those who collected the didrachma coins, the double-drachma coins, for the regular Temple tax came to Peter, and said, Does your Teacher not pay the didrachma”?

John said to him, Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.  

John said to him, Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.  

But Jesus said, Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. For whoever is not against us is on our side. For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward. Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

If your hand causes you to falter, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?  

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?  

Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except one: God. You know the commandments: Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.

Jesus said, Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brethren, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last; and the last first.

Then Jesus continued on the way.  

Then Jesus continued on the way.  

It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem, called Hanukkah. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon’s portico. The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.

Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?

Behold, one came to him and said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?  

Behold, one came to him and said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?  

He said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.  

He said to him, Why do you call me good? "No-one" is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.  

He said to him, 'Which ones?  

He said to him, 'Which ones?  

Jesus said to them, Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Everyone who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. So they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, Why do you stand here all day idle? They said to him, Because no one has hired us. He said to them, You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right. When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his manager, Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.

When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius. When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household, saying, These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat! But he answered one of them, Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius"? Take that which is yours, and go your way. It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own"? Or is your eye evil, because I am good? So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. He said to them, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house. If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, God’s Kingdom has come near to you. But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you. I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.

Turning to the disciples, he said, All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.  

Turning to the disciples, he said, All things have been delivered to me by my Father. "No-one" knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.  

Turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see, for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.

When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet. For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation. The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness. If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.

Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table. When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner. The Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give for alms as gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you. But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it.
