Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by John the baptizer the son of Zechariah, for "Hair-roadias" his brother's wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, had added this also to them all, that he had shut up John in prison. Now "Hair-roadias" had a grudge against John the baptizer whom Herod had imprisoned, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. But then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. When the daughter of "Hair-roadias" herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.

He swore to her, Whatever you shall ask of me, I will "give" you. up to half of my kingdom.

The sea was tossed by a great wind "blowing". But the boat was now in the middle of the sea distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.  

The sea was tossed by a great wind "blowing". But the boat was now in the middle of the sea distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.  

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, "Aye-yam": Do not be afraid, and he said to them, Cheer "up". "Aye-yam": 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.  

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 "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.  

For even his brethren did not believe in him.  

For even his brethren did not believe in him.  

Jesus therefore said to them, My time has not yet come, but "Yore-time" is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates "Meegh", because I testify about it that its works are evil. "Yugo" up to the feast; "Aye-am" not going up this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. But when his brethren had gone up to the feast, then he also "went-up", not publicly, but as it were in secret. The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said "Where-izz-he".

Then the Jews answered him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon”?  

Then the Jews answered him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan and have a demon”?  

Jesus answered, I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and "yew-dishonor-Meegh". But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. Most certainly I tell you, if a person keeps my word he will never see death.  

Jesus answered, I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and "yew-dishonor-Mee". But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. Most certainly I tell you, if a person keeps my word he will never see death.  

Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died as did the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never taste of death. Are you greater than our father Abraham who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?  

Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died as did the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never taste of death. Are you greater than our father Abraham who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?  

He said, I do not know.  

He said, I do not know.  

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I "Seegh".  

They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I "See".  

"Some-therefore" of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath.  

"Some-therefore" of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath.  

He said, He is a prophet.  

He said, He is a prophet.  

The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, before they called the parents of him who had received his sight and asked them, Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How then does he now "Seegh"?  

The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, before they called the parents of him who had received his sight and asked them, Is this your son whom you say was born blind? How then does he now "See"?  

His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask "hymn". He will speak for himself.  

His parents answered them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age. Ask "hymn". He will speak for himself.  

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ he would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask "hymn". So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask "hymn". So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.  

He therefore answered, I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I "do-know": that though I was blind, now I "Seegh".  

He therefore answered, I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I "do-know": that though I was blind, now I "See".  

They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?  

They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?  

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, "Aye-am" the sheep’s door. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. "Aye-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. "Aye-came" that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. "Aye-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. "Aye-am" the good shepherd. I know my own and I AM known by my own; even as the Father "knows-Meegh", and "Aye-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.

Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, He has a demon and is "insane"! Why do you listen to him?

The man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.  

The man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.  

Jesus answered, he answered him, Faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring your son here. Bring him to "Meegh".  

Jesus answered, he answered him, Faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring your son here. Bring him to "Mee".  

They brought him to him, and while he was still coming, when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.  

They brought him to him, and while he was still coming, when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.  

He said to them, This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.

They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.

They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to "know-it",

For he was Teaching his disciples, and said to them, The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.  

for he was Teaching his disciples, and said to them, The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will "kill-him"; and when he is killed, on the "third" day, he will rise again.  

But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.  

But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.  

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.  

While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will "kill-him", and the "third" day, he will be raised up.  

They were exceedingly sorry.  

They were exceedingly sorry.  

He came to "Cap Ernay-um".  

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.

John answered, Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.  

John answered, Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.  

Jesus said to him, Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.  

Jesus said to him, Do not forbid him, for he who is not "against" us is "forus".  

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”?  

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

He said, Yes.  

He said "Yes".  

When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?  

When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him saying, What do you "think" Simon. from whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their "children" or from strangers?  

Peter said to him, From strangers.  

Peter said to him, From strangers.  

Jesus said to him, Therefore the children are exempt. But lest we cause them offense, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

Jesus said to him, Therefore the children are exempt. But lest we cause them offense, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth you will find a stater coin. Take "that", and give it to them for me and "you".  

And when he was in the house he asked them, What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?  

And when he was in the house he asked them, What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?  

But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest. He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.  

But "they-were-silent", for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest. He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.  

He took a little child, and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.  

He took a little child, and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, Whoever receives one such little child in "my-name", receives "Mee", and whoever receives "Mee", does not receive "Mee", but him who sent me.  

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.  

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.

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to falter, 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.  

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.  

If your foot causes you to falter, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.  

If your foot causes you to falter, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into "life-lame", rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.  

If your eye causes you to falter, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

In that hour the disciples his followers came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?

In that hour the disciples his followers came to Jesus saying, "Who-then" is "greatest" in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them, and said, Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to falter, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! If your hand or your foot causes you to falter, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. If your eye causes you to falter, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.  

Woe to the world because of occasions of scandal! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! If your hand or your foot causes you to falter, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.

What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray"? If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.  

What do "you-think"? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray"?

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.  

If your brother sins against you, "goh", show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the Assembly. If he refuses to hear the Assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector. Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will be released in heaven. Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.  

If your brother sins against you, go show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to "thimb", tell it to the Assembly. If he refuses to hear the Assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a traitorous "tax" collector. Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will be released in heaven. Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there "Aye-yam" in the middle of them.  

Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times”?  

Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him. Up to "seven-times”?  

Jesus said to him, I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all! The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat saying, Pay me what you owe!  

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat saying, Pay me what "you-owe"!  

So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will repay you! He would not, but went and cast him into prison, up unto the day he should pay back that which was due. So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done. Then his lord called him in, and said to him, You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me. Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you"? His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, up unto the very day he should pay all that was due to him. So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.

When Jesus had finished these words, he arose from there. He departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Great multitudes followed him. Multitudes came together to him again, and he healed them there. As he usually did, he was again Teaching them.
