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.  

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 "Meegh", 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 stubbornly 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.

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.

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.

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, made later when "Kye-rinnius" was governor of Syria. All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city. But Joseph moreover went up from Galilee, out of his own city the city of Nazareth, into Judea instead, to David’s city which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.

While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough because there was no room for them in the inn. As it is written in the law of Moses, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. As it is written, She shall be in her impurity seven days. Whoever touches her shall be unclean before the evening. Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean before the evening. Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean before the evening. If it is on the bed or on anything she sits on, when he touches it he shall be unclean before the evening. And Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. This is the law of Moses.

While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth. She gave birth to her firstborn son. Every child that comes forth first from the womb is called firstborn in Israel, even when no other child is born afterward. Every offspring that is an only child in Israel having no brother or sister from the womb of the same mother that gave birth is her firstborn. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough because there was no room for them in the inn.

Now there were shepherds in the same country, staying in the field and keeping watch by night over their flock. Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. The angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you the Proclamation of great joy which will be to all the people. For there is born to you today in David’s city a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.

Now, as it is written in the Law of the Lord: The LORD spoke to Moses saying, Speak to the children of Israel saying, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, before the days of her purifying are completed, this is the law of Moses.

When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord) 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.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, two years later wisemen from the east came to Jerusalem saying, Where is he who is born King of the Jews, for we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.  

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, two years later wisemen from the east came to Jerusalem saying, Where is he who is born King of the Jews, for we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.  

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ the Anointed One would be born. They said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet, You, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a Governor who shall shepherd my people Israel.  

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ the Anointed One would be born. They said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet, "Yew": Bethlehem land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a Governor who shall shepherd my people Israel.  

Then Herod secretly called the wisemen, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go-and-search" diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word so that I also may come and worship him.

One of the scribes asked him, Which commandment is the greatest of all?  

One of the scribes asked him, Which commandment is the greatest of all?  

Jesus answered, The greatest is: Hear Israel. The Lord our God, the Lord is one: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. The second is like this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

Now at this time, in A.D. 20 Parthian generals conquered the regions of northern India and declared independence to form the Indo-Parthian Kingdom. Roman-Parthian relations had become increasingly centered on Armenia, which was situated geo-politically between the Roman Empire and Parthia, Rome’s implacable foe in the east, the kings of the east. In both Crassus’s and Antony’s campaigns (ending 53 and 31 B.C., near the end of the Roman Republic in 27 B.C.) the Armenians had already played an influential role in the early history of Roman-Parthian relations; the Armenian king had a large role as a guide, and betrayer, as some sources state. Since the reign of Augustus Caesar it had been Roman policy to appoint vassal kings there and so make Armenia a buffer state against Parthia and the kings of the east. An advance on Armenia from one side was often interpreted as a pretext for war by the other. Throughout the remaining history of Roman-Parthian relations Armenia would have the role of a buffer state between the two powers.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and "Lye-say-nias" tetrarch of Abilene, in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of "Zecha-rye-us" in the wilderness. He who sent him to baptize with water said to him, On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! Do not think to yourselves ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.
