Immediately Jesus perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Arise and take up your bed and walk. But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins: he said to the paralytic, I tell you, Arise, take up your mat, "and go to your" house.

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying We never saw anything like this!

On one of those days, he was Teaching, and there were Pharisees and Teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them. Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus. Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot, into the middle before Jesus. Seeing their faith, he said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.  

On one of those days, he was Teaching, and there were Pharisees and Teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them. Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to "bring-him in" to lay before Jesus. Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot, into the middle before Jesus. Seeing their faith, he said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.  

The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaks blasphemies. Who can forgive sins but God alone.  

The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying "Who-is this" that speaks blasphemies. "Who-can-forgive sins" but God alone.  

But Jesus perceiving their thoughts answered them, Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? Which is easier to say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk. But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralyzed man), I tell you, Arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.

Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on and departed to his house, glorifying God. Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear saying, We have seen strange things today.

After these things, He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and he Taught them.

But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose. The report of this went out into all that land.  

But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose. The report of this went out into all that land.  

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, Have "mercy-on-us" "Son-of-David"!  

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying Have "mercy-on-us" "Son-of-David"!  

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this?  

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this?  

He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other. But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus. For he was exposing their lack of compassion.

Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him. He spoke to his followers that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him. For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him, that they might touch him. The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him and cried, You are the Son of God!

A great "multitude" hearing what great things he did "came to him". He spoke to his followers that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him. For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him. The unclean spirits "whenever they saw him" fell down before him and cried, You are the "Son of-God"!  

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.  

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.  

After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porticoes. In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water; for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had. A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, Do you want to be "made-well”?

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have "no-one" to put me into the pool when the water is "stirred-up", but while I am coming, another steps down before me.  

The sick man answered him, Sir, I have "no-one" to put me into the pool "when the water is stirred up", but while I am coming, "another" steps down before me.  

Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your mat, and walk.  

Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your mat and walk.  

Immediately the man was made well, and took up his mat, and walked.  

Immediately the man was made well, and took up his mat, and walked.  

Now it was the Sabbath on that day. So the Jews said to him who was cured, It is the Sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry the mat.  

Now it was the Sabbath on that day. So the Jews said to him who was cured, It is the Sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry the mat.  

(They said this according to their interpretation of what is written in the law of Moses, Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. The Pharisees had added to this word by declaring that healing is work.)

The Pharisees had added to this word by declaring that healing is work, and the merest lifting or carrying of anything "however light the burden" is called work.)  

He answered them, He who made me well said to me, Take up your mat and walk.  

He answered them, "He who made me well" said to me, Take up your mat and walk.  

Then they asked him, "Who-is-the-man" who said to you, Take up your mat and walk.  

Then they asked him, "Who is-the-man" who said to you, Take up your mat and walk.  

But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place. Afterward, Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.  

But he who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had "withdrawn", a crowd being in the place. Afterward, Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him, Behold, you are made well. "Sin no more" so that nothing worse happens to you.  

The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, My Father is still working, so I am working too.  

The man went "away" and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, My Father is still working, so I am working too.  

For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Jesus therefore answered them, Most certainly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires. For the Father judges "no-one", but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will "liv". For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself. He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will "come-out". those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true. You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But the testimony which I receive, is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved. He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. The Father himself who sent me has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.

You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. Yet you will not come to me that you may have life. I do not receive glory from men. But I know you, that you do not have God’s love in yourselves. I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God.  

You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal "life"; and these are they which testify about me. Yet you will not come to me that you may have "life". I do not receive glory from men. But I know you, that you do not have God’s love in yourselves. I have come in my Father’s name and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive "hymn". "How" can you "believe", who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God.  

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?  

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe "Mee"; for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?  

After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A great multitude followed him because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.

Jesus went up into the mountain, He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him, and he sat there with his disciples. And from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles. Simon whom he also named Peter, Rock. Andrew his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot; Judas the son of James; and Judas "Isscariot", who also became a traitor. He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons. Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter, Rock). James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, (whom he called "Bo-ann-ergees", which means Sons of Thunder). Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot; and Judas "Isscariot" who also betrayed him.

He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his followers his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed. All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.  

He lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said, Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you and throw out your name as evil for the Son of Man’s sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. "Whoa", when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.  

But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. "Whoa": when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.  

But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your coat also. Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again. It is more blessed to give than to receive.  

But I tell "Yew" who "hear": love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your coat also. Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them "back" again. It is more blessed to give than to receive.  

As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to "Thimb". If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love "Thimb". If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to receive back as much. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

Therefore be merciful even as your Father is also merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.  

Therefore be merciful even as your Father is also merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.  

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.  

Give, and it will be given to you: "good-measure" pressed down shaken together and running over will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure, it will be measured back to you.  

He spoke a parable to them. Can the blind guide the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his Teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his Teacher. Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the wooden beam that is in your "own-Aye"? Or how can you tell your brother, Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your "own-Aye"? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your "brother’s-Aye". For there is no good tree that "pro-deuces" rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that "pro-deuces" good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.

Soon afterward, he went to a city called "Nay-in". Many of his disciples along with a great multitude went with him. Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were "withher". When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not cry.

He came near and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. He said, Young man, I tell you, arise!  

He came near and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. He said, Young man, I tell you, arise!  

He who was dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother. Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God saying, A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has visited his people! This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.

The followers of John told him about all these things. John, calling to himself two of his followers, sent them to Jesus saying, Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?  

The followers of John told him about all these things. John, calling to himself two of his followers, sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you the one who is "coming", or should we look for another?  

When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptizer has sent us to you saying, Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?  

When the men had come to him, they said John the Baptizer has sent us to you saying, Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?  

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. Jesus answered them, Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the Proclamation preached to them. Blessed is he who finds no occasion for faltering in me.

When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John. What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings' courts. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes I tell you, and much more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. For I tell you, among those who are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than "John-the-Baptizer". Yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom, is greater than he.

Yes I tell you, and much more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your "face" who will prepare your way before you. For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than "John-the-Baptizer". Yet he who is "least" in God’s Kingdom is "greater" than he.  

When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism. But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold a gluttonous man and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners! Yet Wisdom is justified by all her children.

One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table. Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.

Turning to the woman he said to Simon, Do you see this woman"? I entered into your house and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
