little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men were astonished, saying: What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? 28 And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one could pass by that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Son of God? Hast thou come hither before the time, to torment us? 30 And there was, at a distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding. 31 And the demons besought him saying: If thou dost cast us out, send us into the herd of swine. 32 And he said to them: Go. And they came out, and went away into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and died in the waters. 33 But those who fed them fled, and going away into the city told all things, and what had happened to those possessed with the demons. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing him they besought that he would depart from their borders. think you evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say: Thy sins are forgiven; or to say: Arise and walk? 6 But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins, then he says to the palsied man: Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy house. 7 And he arose and went away to his house. 8 And the multitudes saw and were afraid, and glorified God who had given such authority to men. 9 And Jesus passing by thence saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the custom-house, and said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him. 10 And it came to pass that, as he reclined at tables in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined at table with Jesus and his disciples, 11 And the Pharisees seeing it said to his disciples: Why does your teacher eat with the publicans and sinners? 12 But hearing it he said: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what "I desire mercy and not sacrifice" means. For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners. 14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 15 And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unfulled cloth on an old garment; for that which fills it up takes from the garment, and a worse rent is made. 17 Neither do they put new wine into old bottles; otherwise, the bottles break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles perish; but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved together. 18 While he was speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler came | in and worshipped him, saying: My daughter just now died; but come and lay thy hand on her, and she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman, that had had an issue of blood for twelve years, came behind and touched the fringe of his mantle; 21 for she said within herself: If I may only touch his mantle, I shall be saved. 22 But he turned and saw her and said: Daughter, take courage; thy faith has saved thee. And the woman was saved from that hour. 23 And Jesus entered the house of the ruler and saw the pipers and the multitude making a noise, and said: Withdraw, for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And manner, saying: See that no one know it. 31 But they went out and published him abroad in all that land. 32 But as they were going out, behold, they brought to him a man dumb possessed with a demon. 33 And after the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, saying: Never did it appear thus in Israel. 34 But the Pharisees said: By the prince of the demons casts he out the demons. 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every infirmity. 36 But seeing the multitudes he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and scattered as sheep that had no shepherd. 37 Then said he to his disciples: The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers few: 38 pray therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send forth laborers into his harvest. 1 And he called to him his they derided him. 25 But when the 10 twelve disciples, and gave multitude had been put out, he went in and took her hand, and the maid arose. 26 And the fame of this went forth into that whole land. 27 And as Jesus was passing by thence, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying: Have mercy on us, Son of David. 28 And after he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them: Believe you that I am able to do this? They said to him Yes, Lord. 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done to you. 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them in a threatening them authority over unclean spirits. so that they could cast them out, and cure every disease and every infirmity. 2 But the names of the twelve apostles are these: the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbeus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot who also delivered him up. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth after he had charged them, saying: Into the road to the Gentiles go not, and into a city of the Samaritans enter not; 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach saying: The kingdom of the heavens is at hand. 8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out the demons: freely you received, freely give. 9 Provide not gold, neither silver, nor brass in your girdles; 10 1.0 bag for the journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer is worthy of his support. 11 Into whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go forth. 12 And when you enter a house, salute it. 13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Verily, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: become therefore wise as serpents, and guileless as doves. 17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; 18 and before governors also and kings shall you be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what you shall speak; for there shall be given you in that hour what you shall speak; 20 for you are not the speakers, but it is the Spirit of my Father that speaks in you. 21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and children shall rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you shall be hated by all because of my name; but he that endures to the end shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other; for verily I say to you, you shall not have made the circuit of the cities of Israel, till the Son of man shall have come. 24 A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have surnamed the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household. 26 Be not then afraid of them; for nothing is concealed that shall not be revealed, and hid that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And yet not one of them shall fall to the ground without your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in the heavens. 33 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens. 34 Think not that I and the poor have the gospel came to send peace on the earth, I preached to them; 6 and blessed is came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man in opposition to his father, and a daughter to her mother, and a daughter-in-law to her mother-inlaw; 36 and a man's enemies shall be those of his household. 27 He that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me; 38 and he that does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that finds his life shall lose it, and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me. 41 He that receives a prophet because he is a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. | 42 And whoever shall give one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. 1 And it came 11 to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 2 But John, having heard in prison of the works of Christ, sent by his disciples, 3 and said to him: Art thou he that comes, or look we for another? 4 And answering. Jesus said to them: Go and tell John what things you hear and see; 5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, he whoever shall not be offended at me. 7 But as these were going away, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist; but the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. 12 But from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by force, and men of force seize upon it eagerly. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John; 14 and if you will receive it, he is Elijah that was to come. 15 He that has ears, let him hear. 16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, who call to the others, 17 and say: We piped to you, and you did not dance: we wailed, and you did not lament. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon. 19 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a man, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. And yet Wisdom is justified by her works. 20 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty pull the ears of grain and to eat. works had been done, because they 2 And the Pharisees seeing it said repented not. 21 Alas for thee, to him: Behold, thy disciples are Chorazin; Alas for thee, Beth- doing what it is not lawful to do on saida; for if the mighty works the sabbath. 3 But he said to which have been done in you, had them: Have you not read what been done in Tyre and Sidon, they David did, when he was hungry, would have repented long ago in and they that were with him? 4 how sackcloth and ashes. 22 Further- he entered the house of God, and more I say to you, it shall be more ate of the loaves of the presence, tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the which it was not lawful for him to day of judgment than for you. 23 eat, nor for those who were with And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou him, but for the priests only? 5 or be exalted to heaven? Thou shalt have you not read in the law, that be brought down to hades; for if on the sabbath days the priests in the mighty works which have been the temple profane the sabbath, and done in thee had been done in are blameless? 6 But I say to you, Sodom, it would have remained to that something greater than the this day. 24 Furthermore I say to temple is here. 7 And if you had you, it shall be more tolerable for known what "I desire mercy and the land of Sodom in the day of not sacrifice" means, you would not judgment than for thee. have condemned the blameless. 8 For the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath. 25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: 26 yes, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father: neither knows any one the Father but the Son, and he to whomever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is good, and my burden is light. 12 1 At that time Jesus went, on the sabbath, through the fields of grain: and his disciples were hungry, and they began to 9 And he departed thence, and came into their synagogue. 10 And behold, a man had a withered hand; and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him. 11 But he said to them: What man shall there Le of you, who shall have one sheep; and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it up? 12 How much better then, a man is than a sheep: so then it is lawful to do well on the sabbath. 13 Then he says to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored to soundness as the other. 14 But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, that they might destroy him. 15 But Jesus perceived it and withdrew thence.
