Introduction

The Vulgate Bible is a collection of Latin texts compiled and translated in large part by Saint Jerome (ca. 345-420) in the late fourth and early fifth centuries CE. Roughly speaking, Jerome translated the Old Testament— except for the books of Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and 1 and 2 Maccabees—

and he revised existing Latin versions of the Psalms and the Gospels. Jerome’s Bible was used widely in the Western European Christian (and later, specifically Catholic) tradition from the early Middle Ages through the twentieth century.

The adjective “Vulgate” (from the Latin verb vulgare, meaning “to disseminate”) lacks the connotation of coarse-

ness often inherent in its relative “vulgar,” but both words imply commonness. Indeed, the Vulgate Bible was so widespread that its significance can hardly be overstated. It made critical contributions to literature, visual art, music and edu-

cation during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and it informed much of the Western theological, intellectual, artistic and even political history of that period. Students of almost any aspect of European civilization from the seventh century (when the Latin Bible existed more or less in the form we know today) through the sixteenth century (when

translations of scripture into various European vernaculars

INTRODUCTION

became widely available to the public and acceptable to religious authorities) must refer frequently to the Vulgate Bible and have a thorough knowledge of it. In this edition, the Latin is presented opposite the first

English version of the Bible sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church. This English Bible is typically referred to as the Douay-Rheims Version, after the present-day names of its places of publication. The'New Testament was published in 1582 by the English College at Rheims, and the Old Testament (to call it the Hebrew Bible would be inaccurate, since

it includes nine books that have never belonged to the Hebrew canon) was published in 1609 and 1610, in two volumes, by the English College at Douay. The entire DouayRheims Bible was revised several times, notably by Bishop Dr. Richard Challoner (1691—1781) in 1749 and 1750. In this introduction, I use the terms “Catholic” and "Protestant" in their current senses. Adherents to the

Church of England in the sixteenth century at times referred to themselves as Catholics and to those who followed the religious authorities in Rome as Popish or Papists. The

members of the Roman Church called their Anglican rivals various names, such as heretics, Protestants, Lutherans and Calvinists, but they would not have called them Catholics.

Douay and Rheims were major centers of learning for English-speaking Catholics, who faced hostility in Protestant England. The English College, a prominent Catholic institution, was exiled from Douay to Rheims in 1578, near

the beginning of the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands (to which Douay at the time belonged) and Philip II of Spain, who had founded the college.! The exile lasted until 1593. The college undertook these translations of the Bi-

INTRODUCTION

ble primarily in response to the English versions produced under the Church of England that did not treat Jerome’s

text as the ultimate authority. Protestant English translators did use the Vulgate, but they also consulted the German rendering by Martin Luther (1482-1546), the Greek Septuagint and New Testament, testimonia in Hebrew and other sources. In contrast, the Douay-Rheims Version was directly translated from the Latin Bible as it was known to the

professors at the English College in 1582. While the English College was working on its translations at Douay and Rheims, Pope Sixtus V (r. 1585-1590)

called for the preparation of an authoritative Latin text. This Latin Bible was published in 1590, just prior to his death, but it contained errors and was soon suppressed for

fear that Protestants would use them to attack the Catholic Church.? Three corrected printings followed, in 1592, 1593 and 1598, during the papacy of Clement VIII (r. 1592-1605).

These four editions, substantially the same, are referred to collectively

as the

Sixto-Clementine

Version.

While

it

strongly resembles the Latin Bible that evidently served as the basis for the Douay-Rheims translation, the two are not identical. The Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (DOML)

Bible, and

some lead the translation even further from the Latin.

INTRODUCTION

Although the Douay Old Testament was not published until 1609-1610, most of the work on the translation seems

to have been completed much earlier, before any SixtoClementine edition. Despite its publication date, therefore, this section of the English translation still provides a valuable witness to a Latin text that predated the SixtoClementine Version. Most scholars accept the conclusion by Charles Dodd that “the'work may be entirely ascribed to Mr. [Gregory] Martin [who died a decade before publication of the Sixto-Clementine edition] . .. He translated the

whole Bible; tho’ it was not publish'd is good reason to believe that Dodd the “Douay Diaries,” records of the English College, attests that Martin

all at one time.”? There was right: an entry in activities at the young began translating the

Bible in October 1578 and that he translated two chapters a

day, which were revised by two other professors. Since there are 1,353 chapters in the Bible—including the Books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, 1 and 2 Macca-

bees and 3 and 4 Ezra, and counting the Prayer of Manasseh as one chapter—the task would have taken Martin and his

team slightly more than 676 days, far less time than the thirty years that elapsed between the project’s commence-

ment and the complete publication of the Bible. Indeed, this calculation is confirmed in the address “To the right vvelbeloved English reader” in the first volume of the Old Testament (1609), which states that the Bible was translated “about thirtie yeares since” (fifth page of the section). The

translation thus almost certainly preceded the SixtoClementine text, which immediately became the standard edition upon its printing in 1592. The lag between transla-

tion and publication is explained on the first page of the

INTRODUCTION

same section: “As for the impediments, which hitherto haue

hindered this worke, they al proceded (as manie do know) of one general cause, our poore estate in banishment”— that is, the exile of the English College to Rheims. The Douay-Rheims translation used here mostly follows the version printed in 1899, a slight revision of Challoner’s editions, incorporating elements from the 1749, 1750 and 1752 printings. Challoner’s principal contribution was to

make the original Douay-Rheims easier to read by updating obscure phraseology and obsolete words. This volume modifies the 1899 version to bring the punctuation and the transliteration of proper nouns and adjectives into line with modern practice (see Alternate Spellings in the endmatter for this edition’s policies regarding transliterations) and to restore some readings from Challoner’s 1750 and 1752 editions

that had been changed (mostly due to printers’ errors) in the 1899 version. In addition, the whole text has been prepared according to the guidelines of the fifteenth edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. This policy has resulted in significant alterations to Challoner’s edition, which superabounds in colons and commas, lacks quotation marks and begins

each verse on a new line, sometimes making the text difficult to understand. In contrast to most English Bibles, this volume renders all of the text as prose, even the parts that were originally in verse, since neither the Latin nor the English is poetic. The Latin text has been punctuated according to the English translation to allow easy movement between the two languages. In the rare instances when they diverge, the text in each language has been punctuated ac-

cording to its most natural meaning (see, for example, Gen 31:1-4). xin

INTRODUCTION

Readers of the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library who wish to compare either the English or the Latin version presented here with another Bible should bear in mind that the versification in the Vulgate and the numbering of psalms differ from those in Bibles translated from languages other than Latin. Furthermore,

the books in this volume have

been selected and ordered according to Challoner’s revi-

sions, which follow the Sixto-Clementine Bible. This policy has resulted in the inclusion of some chapters and books commonly considered “apocryphal” or “deuterocanonical” (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Daniel 3:24-90, Daniel 13 and 14) and the omission

of others that were relegated to appendices even in early printed versions of the Bible (3 and 4 Ezra and the Prayer of

Manasseh). The names of some books differ from the ones that may be familiar to many readers: for instance, 1 and 2 Kings in this volume are commonly called 1 and 2 Samuel, 3 and 4 Kings are usually 1 and 2 Kings; 1 and 2 Paralipomenon equate to 1 and 2 Chronicles; x Ezra is usually simply

Ezra, while 2 Ezra is typically Nehemiah; the Canticle of Canticles is also known as the Song of Songs; Ecclesiasticus is Sirach and in some Latin Bibles is known as Iesu Filii Sirach; and, last, the Apocalypse of St. John the Apostle may

be known to most readers as the Book of Revelation.

EDITION

The Latin in this edition presents as closely as possible the text from which the Douay-Rheims translators worked. It would have been a version of the Bible known to many Eu-

ropeans from the eighth through the sixteenth century. Be-

INTRODUCTION

fore Jerome, translations of parts of the Bible into Latin existed; we call these disparate texts the Old Latin Bible. After Jerome finished his work, versions of his Vulgate proliferated. According to one count, a third of the biblical manuscripts we have today dating to about one hundred years after Jerome’s death are from the Vulgate, and a century later “manuscripts of the Vulgate start to outnumber those of the Old Latin by about two to one. In the seventh century, the ratio has risen to about six to one.”’ The early ninth century

brought the stabilization of a recension that was overseen by Alcuin, the schoolmaster from York who played a major role in the cultural revival promoted by Charlemagne. The so-called Alcuin Bibles, of which some thirty survive, became the standard text outside Italy during the Carolingian period. They were the products of monastic copy centers known as scriptoria. In the thirteenth century, the Alcuin Bibles gave way to the so-called Paris Bibles, which were written by professional scribes. The text of the Paris Bibles, a direct descendent of the Alcuin Bibles, was in turn closely related to the Sixto- Clementine Bibles of the late sixteenth century. In large part, the DOML text corresponds to Robert Weber's edition (2007). Most adjustments to bring the Latin closer to the English coincide with an edition of the Sixto-Clementine Bible (1959) that preserves the majority of the readings from the second Clementine edition (1593) and occasionally replaces that text with readings from the other two Clementine editions, which were very similar to

each other. For consistency's sake, the spellings and inflections of adjustments based on the Sixto-Clementine Bible have been brought into line with Weber's text. When neither the Weber nor the Sixto-Clementine text

INTRODUCTION

provides the reading that the Douay-Rheims translators appear to have seen, the critical apparatuses in Weber and in Quentin's edition (1926- [1995D have been consulted. Often

the readings attested in early printed editions of the Bible, such as the famous “42-line Bible" printed by Johannes Gutenberg in 1454, come closest to the translation. In rare

instances it has been necessary to print reconstructions of the text theoretically used by the translators, since neither the Sixto- Clementine, Weber and Quentin editions nor the

citations in their apparatus provide a suitable reading. These reconstructions, often closer to the Greek Septuagint than

to any Vulgate edition, follow the Old Latin Bible. In trying to identify the Latin source or sources of the Douay-Rheims translation, some scholars have pointed to

the Louvain Bible, an early printed edition that strongly resembles the Sixto-

Clementine Version. However, the read-

ings in the Douay-Rheims Version do not support the con-

clusion that Martin based his translation on either the Louvain Bible of 1547 or the correction of that edition published at Rome in 1574. Furthermore, the preface of the Douay-Rheims Version addressed “To the right vvelbeloved

English reader" states (and Greenslade accepts) that the editors of the Old Testament “conformed it to the most perfect

Latin Edition" — presumably, given the publication date, the Sixto- Clementine Version." To take just one illustration of

the danger of assuming that the translators used a single identifiable source, consider Ex 16:29, which in the Douay

translation reads in part, "and let none goe forth": of the many sources considered by Quentin (including the Louvain Bible), only two— both early printed editions and neither of them the Sixto-Clementine or the Louvain edition — begin

INTRODUCTION

the relevant Latin clause with a conjunction. Moreover, while the translators claimed their work was “diligently conferred with the Hebrew, Greeke, and other Editions in di-

uers languages," the relative paucity of readings different from well-established Latin sources and the inconsistency in the nature of the divergences suggest that they were working with a now lost Latin text of idiosyncratic nature

rather than a still extant one that they chose to ignore from time to time. Since several people collaborated on that translation, the translators may also have followed different editions of the Bible and therefore produced a translation for which there is no single surviving Latin source.

Unlike the Latin as edited by Weber, the SixtoClementine edition (to whose family the Douay-Rheims translation belongs) often regularizes the language found in

earlier manuscripts. In general, the Sixto-Clementine rarely accepts the /ectio difficilior, while most editors since the eighteenth century, including Weber, tend to choose the “more difficult reading” from among multiple possibilities. For example, at Gen 32:5, the Weber edition reads, “habeo boves et

asinos oves et servos atque ancillas,” while the SixtoClementine editors preferred to avoid the variations of asyndeton

after asinos and

of atque,

so their text reads,

*Habeo boves et asinos et oves et servos et ancillas." In this instance,

the Douay-Rheims

translators evidently saw a

conjunction between asinos and oves and also between servos and ancillas. In this edition, an et has been inserted in the former case, but the atque has remained in the latter, be-

cause we cannot know which of the many options for the English *and" the translators encountered in their Latin. At times, the translation reflects a base text closer to We-

INTRODUCTION

ber’s than to the Sixto-Clementine edition. For example, at Gen 1:14, Weber reads “fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem," while for ut, the Sixto-

Clementine edition reads et. However, the Douay-Rheims translation (as revised by Challoner, but here retaining the grammatical construction of the original) reads, “Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven to divide the day and the night,” clearly translating wt. The Sixto-Clementine choice was probably made by analogy to verses like Gen 1:6, which reads in both editions “Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum, et dividat.”

TEXT

OF Tuis

EDITION

The “Douay-Rheims Version” is an imperfect name for the translation of the Vulgate Bible used in this volume. Indeed, one anonymous scholar in 1836 went so far as to write that calling a translation similar to the one printed here “the Douay or Rhemish version is an abuse of terms.”? The English here follows a text that was published in 1899. Al-

though this text has been understood routinely as being the Douay-Rheims Version without any qualification, it in fact

offers an English translation that derives not directly from the work of the English College of Douay and Rheims, but rather from a nineteenth-century form of a revision by Challoner. Challoner published at least five revisions of the New Testament

and two

of the Old

(the New Testaments

ap-

peared in 1749, 1750, 1752, 1764 and 1772, the Old Testaments in 1750 and 1763-1764); after his death, others produced many more. Since the editions of 1582, 1609 and 1610, many

subsequent revisions have purported to be simple reprints. xviii

INTRODUCTION

Indeed, the frontispiece to the 1899 edition has a message of approbation by James Cardinal Gibbons, then archbishop of Baltimore, who writes that the text “is an accurate re-

print of the Rheims and Douay edition with Dr. Challoner’s notes." But if we are to understand the “Rheims and Douay

edition” to mean the translations originally printed in those cities in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the text we have is by no means

an accurate reprint

of that. Because the versions issued between 1610 and 1899 can

be difficult to come by, and because the only work approaching a systematic collation of various "Douay-Rheims" Bibles is a bitterly anti-Catholic work from 1855,? many scholars

regard the Douay-Rheims translation as a text that has barely changed

(if at all) since its first printing. Some

are

aware of Challoner’s extensive revisions in the mid-eighteenth century, which updated the language of the DouayRheims Version and toned down the polemical annotations, but few know the extent of his alterations, or that they make

it more distant from the Latin Vulgate, or that they took place over several editions or that the editions published after his death often contain the work of other scholars. Many factors complicate analysis of the modifications that the Douay-Rheims Version has undergone over the past four centuries. The most significant is the doctrinal conservatism of the Catholic Church. Owing to both the primacy of Jerome’s Vulgate (another inadequate label, since Jerome hardly produced the Latin text by himself), recognized at the Council of Trent (1545-1563), and the desire of

the Church to exert some control over access to scripture, the translation of the Bible into vernacular tongues was dis-

INTRODUCTION

couraged. Yet after Protestant churches made the text of

the Bible available to speakers of English and German, it became easier for reformist thinkers to disseminate their teachings. Some English-speaking Catholics then sought to produce their own translation, but since the point of this work was to regulate the message rcad by the flock, the translation required authorization to insure that it was appropriate. A letter of 1580 from William Allen, the president

of the English College at Douay, to a colleague, Professor Jean de Vendeville, expresses the need for papal sanctioning

of the translation: “We on our part will undertake, if His Holiness shall think proper, to produce a faithful, pure, and genuine version of the Bible in accordance with the version

approved by the Church.” The printed edition was approved not by the pope but by three professors at Allen's own college (Douay-Rheims 1609, Approbatio).

Conservatism demanded the Church’s approbation and made revision difficult. How could a reviser supplant some-

thing that had already been declared Church? Revisions required approval of could not directly contradict previously For this reason, the only reference to a

acceptable to the their own, yet they approved editions. difference between

Challoner's 1750 edition and the printings of 1582, 1609 and 1610 comes on the title page, which describes the work as

“Newly revised and corrected, according to the Clementine Edition of the Scriptures.” As the phrasing shows, Challoner was careful to note that his version derived from the Latin Bible first authorized by Pope Clement VIII in 1592, ten

years after the Rheims New Testament, but he obscured the extent of his revisions. Despite the popularity of Challoner’s revision and of the Bibles still in print that descend from it,

INTRODUCTION

the English translations and revisions of scripture were not created under a directive from the Vatican. There is no single, indisputably “official” translation of the Latin Bible into English. All the translations lay claim to official status without criticizing other Catholic versions, and none of them has clear primacy.

This confusing (and confused) climate has misled modern readers into believing precisely what the editors and

translators of English Catholic Bibles from the sixteenth through the nineteenth century wanted them to think: a single standard English translation of the Bible existed, and the reader in question was holding a copy of it. One well-

respected medievalist cautioned against using the King James Version for medieval studies (because it lacks a close

relationship to the Vulgate text), implying that the DouayRheims Version is preferable. While correct about the King James Version, he shows himself to be unaware of the Douay-Rheims’s own modern tradition, writing, “The English translation of [the Vulgate} is the one known

as the

‘Douai-Rheims’ translation . . . also available in many modern editions,” and later quoting the translation of Ct 2:4 in the Douay-Rheims as “he set in order charity in me." This quotation comes from Challoner’s revision of the translation from 1750; the 1610 translation reads, “he hath ordered

in me charitie.” The particular case of Ct 2:4 does not perfectly illustrate the danger of using Challoner’s revision of the DouayRheims translation, because his rendering still matches the Vulgate

text

(“ordinavit

in me

caritatem").

But

in many

places (italicized in this edition) Challoner strayed from the Latin, usually to revise some particularly awkward phrasing

INTRODUCTION

in the older Douay-Rheims edition. For example, at Gen 6:13, he changed “the earth is replenished with iniquitie from the face of them” to “the earth is filled with iniquity through them.” Four points are important about this revi-

sion. The first is that Challoner updated the spelling of “iniquitie.” Second, here, as elsewhere, he translated very logi-

cally an ordinary Latin word (repleta) with an equally common English one (“filled”), rather than with a cognate (“replenished”). Thus, he followed a policy that contrasts with the Latinate qualities that pervade the earlier translation. Third, “through” is not found in any Latin edition; while the meaning of “from the face of them” is obscure in English, it is a literal rendition of all the transmitted Vulgate texts of this verse. The fourth point is the trickiest one to address: the preposition “through” instead of “from the face of” is in fact found in the King James Version, which was in

Challoner’s day the more or less official Anglican (and of course Protestant) Bible. Gen 6:13 illustrates how Challoner revised the DouayRheims Bible on literary grounds. One peculiarity of Bible studies is that many areas of interest are plagued with partisanship, and it can be difficult to make any argument without seeming to side with one religious (or secular) establishment against another. In trying to articulate the relationship

between the King James and Douay-Rheims Versions, many otherwise useful sources emphasize the effects of one on the other according to the publisher’s disposition: that is to say, Catholic sources underscore the similarities between the 1582 New Testament and the 1611 King James text, while Protestant reference works point to Challoner’s alleged in-

xxii

INTRODUCTION

debtedness to the King James Version. A notable exception is the anonymous article quoted above, which in its passionate call for a responsible, authorized translation of the Sixto-

Clementine Vulgate rightly commented on a difference between the 1582 New Testament and Challoner’s revision:

“This correction is taken verbatim from the Protestant version.” Without delving into the differences in the theological programs of the editors of the Douay-Rheims and King James Versions or calling one preferable to the other, one could argue convincingly (as many have done) that the King James Bible has far greater—or at the very least, more enduring — literary merit than the original Douay-Rheims Version.

To understand the relative qualities of these English Bibles, compare, for example, the translations of Dt 30:19. The

Douay-Rheims reads: “I cal for witnesses this day heauen and earth, that I haue proposed to you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou mayest liue, and thy seede." The King James

Version has “I call

heauen and earth to record this day against you, that I haue set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may liue." Significantly, the King James Version is more natural and memora-

ble; we should also note that the most awkward phrasing in the Douay-Rheims translation (*proposed to") has, in Chal-

loner, been replaced by "set before," the King James reading.

The literary superiority of the King James Version is worth bearing in mind, because Challoner (whose schoolboy nickname, we are told, was Book)" revised the Douay-

xxili

INTRODUCTION

Rheims text primarily on the basis of literary sensibilities. His version significantly departs from the Douay-Rheims when that text is most stilted, and not infrequently in such instances, Challoner’s revision closely matches the sense or wording (or both) of the King James

Bible.

A word of caution should be issued to those who would accept the implication of the subtitle of Challoner’s Bible: “Newly revised and corrected, according to the Clementine Edition of the Scriptures.” This description suggests that Challoner updated the Douay-Rheims translation in light of the standard text of the Bible that had not been available to the translators at the English College. Through oversight, however, his revision skipped a few phrases that the DouayRheims translators had missed as well (mostly when similar

Latin words appeared on different parts of the page, causing

leaps of the eye). These omissions suggest strongly that Challoner’s primary task was to make the English of the Douay-Rheims version more readable; it was not a revision on textual grounds. Otherwise, a careful collation of the

Douay-Rheims Version with the Sixto-Clementine Bible would have been essential. More often than not, Challoner

appears simply to have read the Douay-Rheims and fixed the poor or awkward style, occasionally turning to the King James, Latin, Greek or possibly Hebrew texts for help. He does not seem to have compared the Douay-Rheims sys-

tematically with the Latin (or any other version). If we are not prepared to credit the magnum opus of the Anglican Church as a major source for Challoner, we can say that many of his revisions came from Hebrew and Greek sources (the same texts that the King James editors read,

xxiv

INTRODUCTION

possibly accounting for the similarities). Why Challoner often turned to sources other than the Latin Vulgate, which had existed in stable and authorized form since 1592, is un-

clear, especially in view of his title-page statement that he had updated the Douay-Rheims according to the SixtoClementine Bible. The period in which Challoner published his first edition of the New Testament (1749) was one of lively productivity for biblical scholars. The monumental

edition of the pre-Vulgate Latin Bible credited to Pierre Sabatier, a Benedictine monk, was in production (Rheims 1739, 1749; Paris 1751). This text was meant to reconstruct

the Bible as it was known to the Church fathers writing in Latin before the general acceptance of Jerome’s text, and it

received the approbation of two vicars general and Sabatier’s own abbot. It relies frequently on Greek and Hebrew sources, indicating that the study of those texts was not as

distasteful to the Church elite in the eighteenth century as it had been in 1609, when the Douay-Rheims translators prefaced their edition with the following words: But here an other question may be proposed: Vhy V we translate the Latin text, rather than the Hebrew, or

Greke, which Protestantes preferre, as the fountaine tongues, wherin holie Scriptures were first written? To this we answer, that if in dede those first pure Editions were now extant, or if such as be extant, were more

pure than the Latin, we would also preferre such fountaines before the riuers, in whatsoeuer they should be

found to disagree. But the ancient best lerned Fathers, & Doctors of the Church, do much complaine, and

whiles they were more pure.! Indeed, by 1750 the Counter-Reformational motives of

the Douay-Rheims Version of 1582, 1609 and 1610 had become largely irrelevant, and the polemical annotations of the first translation were either omitted or stripped of their vehemence. Even the notes in the Old Testament of 16091610 contain less vitriol than those in the 1582 New Testa-

ment. Strict adherence to the Vulgate Bible mattered less to Challoner than to the original translators, although he still evidently favored literalism in his renderings. Consequently, he may have preferred to replace poorly worded translations with a new literal translation of a different source, rather than to print loose constructions of the Latin text. None-

theless, the translation on the whole adheres faithfully to the Vulgate, the official Bible of the Catholic Church; after all, Challoner wrote a pamphlet entitled “The Touchstone of the New Religion: or, Sixty Assertions of Protestants, tryd by their own Rule of Scripture alone, and condemned by clear and express Texts of their own Bible" (London 1735). Interestingly, this tract reveals Challoner's familiarity with,

or at least access to, the King James Version of the Bible. As one scholar put it, “He sought to establish the Roman Church’s credentials out of the mouths of her enemies." It may be fitting that the DOMI Bible is an artificial one. After all, in whatever language or languages the texts collectively called the Bible are read, they are heterogeneous, cobbled together over centuries, having been composed (or re-

INTRODUCTION

vealed) and varied by oral tradition throughout the preceding millennia. With only minor revisions, we use Challoner’s edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible because his text pre-

serves the character of the English translation that brings us closest to the end of the medieval period while still being fairly elegant and readable. This edition differs from the 1899 printing in restoring readings from the 1750 and 1752 editions which had been spuriously altered in the 1899 ver-

sion and in updating the biblical names and the punctuation of the earlier edition. Challoner’s notes have been excised, though his chapter summaries remain.

With its rich and somewhat thorny history, Challoner’s English is important to scholars of many disciplines, and its proximity to the literal translation of the most important book of the medieval period—namely, the Latin Bible— makes it invaluable to English-speakers studying the Middle Ages.

A NOTE

ON THE TRANSLATION

Every discussion of the Douay-Rheims translation— whether praising or condemning it, whether acknowledging or ignoring Challoner’s contribution to the text—affirms its proximity to the Latin. The translation in this volume has, however,

a few characteristics that are either difficult for

contemporary English-speakers to understand or that make the English less literal than it could be. Challoner’s word choice may sometimes puzzle readers. In the service of literalism, the Douay-Rheims translators

and Challoner usually rendered postquam by the now obsolete phrase “after that,” regardless of whether the Latin XXVIL

INTRODUCTION

word was a conjunction or an adverb. For example, at Gen 24:22, the translation reads, “And after that the camels

had drunk, the man took out golden earrings weighing two sicles and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight,” whereas a natural, more modern rendering would eliminate the word “that.” Possibly by analogy to the case of postquam, or possibly because in the seventeenth century there was little distinction between the meanings of “after” and “after that,” the translators occasionally rendered other words as “after that” where the phrase makes little sense in modern usage;

see, for example, the temporal cum at Gen 8:6. On the whole, though, Challoner avoided trying to fit the square peg of English translation into the round hole of the Latin text. He shied away from the Douay-Rheims tendency to translate Latin words with awkward cognates, such as “invocate” for forms of invoco (for example, Gen 4:26); he frequently rendered relative pronouns with a conjunction followed by a demonstrative (Gen 3:1 and elsewhere); and he and his antecedents were free with temporal constructions, rendering,

to take one example, de nocte as “very early” at Ex 34:4. Furthermore, Challoner translated many conjunctions as “now”

that literally mean “and,” “but,” “moreover” or “therefore” (for example, Gen 16:1 and 3 Rg 1:1); the King James translators were also liberal in their use of “now.” Challoner’s breaches of the rule of strict (some have said excessive) literalism also occur in areas other than word choice. The most frequent deviations appear in the translation of participles, the passive voice and especially passive participles. The translation of Nm 20:6 illustrates this program: the verse in Latin begins, “Ingressusque Moses et

Aaron dimissa multitudine Tabernaculum Foederis corruerunt"; the 1609 translation reads, “And Moyses and Aaron, xxvill

INTRODUCTION

the multitude being dismissed, entering into the tabernacle of couenant, fel”; whereas Challoner, preferring not to employ the passive voice or more than one construction with a

participle, rendered the verse (with my punctuation), “And Moses and Aaron leaving the multitude went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant and fell.” The many ablatives absolute and other participial constructions that have been modified by Challoner to fit more neatly into his preferred English style have not been signaled by italics in this volume because they do not illuminate anything about the Latin text and be-

cause the renderings are not so loose as to make their relationship to the Latin difficult to perceive. Another systematic abandonment of literal translations appears in Challoner’s rendering of oath formulas and other

invocations of God, especially those that begin in Latin vzvo or vivit Dominus or that employ constructions similar to

“haec faciat mihi Deus et haec addat.” Usually the first two formulas are rendered by adding “as” in English before the subject of the verb, and if the next clause begins with a conjunction, it is excised in translation. See, for example, 1 Rg 14:39, which begins in Latin, “Vivit Dominus, salvator

Israhel, quia si" and was translated in the 1609 edition as “Our Lord the sauiour of Israel liueth, that if,” which was modified by Challoner to read, “As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if.” The constructions that substantially resemble “haec faciat mihi Deus et haec addat” as at 1 Rg 14:44 were translated predictably in 1609 as “These

thinges doe God to me, and these thinges adde he.” Challoner rendered the prayer as “May God do so and so to me and add still more.” Both of these divergences from the Latin are anticipated in the English of the King James Version, and because such renderings are pervasive, they have KXIX

INTRODUCTION

been noted only here and are not mentioned in the Notes to the Text.

Challoner’s antecedents at Douay and Rheims were also at times a bit lax in their translation. The degrees of adjectives and adverbs are not differentiated: durius (Gen 31:29)

can be rendered as “roughly,” pessima (Gen 37:20) as “naughtie.” Haec (Gen 9:8), especially before verbs of saying, is often translated as “thus.” Similar lapses in literalism occur with the verbs volo and debeo, the future tense, the future

perfect tense and the subjunctive mood, which are all often rendered as simple futures in English; yet in most cases when the Douay-Rheims translators stuck to a literal translation and Challoner changed it, his variation and its source have been noted. When the Douay-Rheims translators use a turn of phrase that does not square with the Latin, the divergence has been commented upon only if the translation seems to be a useful key to the Latin they worked from; if they seem simply to have rendered the text loosely, no note appears. The most striking translation choices that the professors from Douay and Rheims made were to translate u£znam (e.g., Ex 16:3) as “would to God,” absit (e.g., Gen 44:17)

as “God forbid,” salve (e.g., 2 Rg 18:28) as "God save thee” and vivat Rex (e.g., 1 Rg 10:24) as "God save the King,” even

though there is no reference to the Divine. One other consistent policy of the Douay-Rheims translation was to translate Dominus as “our Lord.” This practice stemmed from theological rather than philological reasons, and Challoner (like the King James

translators) rendered this word as “the

Lord.” In these cases, there can be no other Latin reading,

and since the English is not helpful in illuminating a hitherto unknown Latin text, no note has been made.

For example,

Nm 7:18—19 reads in Latin, "Secundo die, obtulit Nathanahel, filius Suar, dux de tribu Isachar: / acetabulum argenteum," whereas at verses 24-25 of the same chapter we find

“Tertio die, princeps filiorum Zabulon, Heliab, filius Helon, / obtulit acetabulum argenteum." Syntactically, the verses are identical (the colon is placed in the Latin only on the basis of the translation), but because in the first example obtulit appears in a separate verse from its direct object, the translation reads, "The second day, Nethanel, the son of Zuar, prince of the tribe of Issachar, made his offering: / a

silver dish,” while at verses 24-25 we have "The third day, che prince of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon, / offered a silver dish." Apart from these few deviations and the occasional itali-

cized words and phrases, the Challoner revision is an exceptionally literal and readable translation of the Vulgate Bible, and it has proved helpful over the past quarter millennium to those who find che meaning of the Latin obscure.

I am grateful to the many people who have helped me with

this project, including readers George Carlisle, Bob Edgar, Sally Edgar, Jim Halporn, Scott Johnson and Christopher

Osborne; Alexandra Helprin, for her support and encouragement; Terra Dunham, Ian Stevenson and Sharmila Sen at Harvard University Press; Jesse Rainbow, for answering all

my questions about Hebrew with clarity, depth, and precision; Christopher Husch, Philip Kim, and Julian Yolles for their excellent proofreading; Maria Ascher, for her thought-

Swift Edgar

I would like to join in thanking those mentioned above and name additional collaborators without whose assistance this project could not have proceeded. Swift Edgar, of course, provided a treasury of advice and guidance. Two out-

standing interns became indispensable to me: Christopher Husch helped with sundry scholarly and organizational aspects, including many useful philological remarks. Rebecca Frankel’s admirable dedication and tireless enthusiasm was a great encouragement, yet her philological assistance was

somehow even more impressive. Christopher Husch’s meticulous proofreading was a great help in the final pass. I am grateful to my husband, Robert, for his advice on matters

of biblical Greek, his rich library, and his patience. The staff of Dumbarton Oaks and the graduate community and faculty at the University of Illinois continually encouraged me. Special thanks goes to my adviser, Danuta Shanzer, whose brilliance, patience and energy never fail to inspire.

Finally, I have the sincerest gratitude for Jan Ziolkowski, not only for his guidance and consultation on this project,

Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all

the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away to Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the carrying away to

Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations. 18 Now the birth of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Whereupon Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold: the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, say-

ing, “Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary, thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy

Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.” 22 Now all this was done that the word might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying, 23 “Behold: a virgin shall be with child and bring forth a son, and they shall cali his name Emmanuel,” which being interpreted is “God with us.” 24 And Joseph rising up from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took unto him his wife,

25 and he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn

son, and he called his name Jesus.

days of King Herod, behold: there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and are come

to adore him.” 3 And King Herod hearing this was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people he enquired of them where Christ should be born. 5 But they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judah.” For so it is written by the prophet:

6 "And thou, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah, for out of thee shall come forth the ruler that shall rule my people Israel.” 7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, enquired of them diligently the time of the star’s appearing to them 8and sending them into Bethlehem said, “Go, and search

diligently after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him,” 9 and when they had heard the king, they went their way. And behold: the star which they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the child was. 10And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 1! And going into the house they found the child

child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee, for it will come to pass that Herod will seek

the child to destroy him.” 14 And he arose and took the child and his mother by night and retired into Egypt.

wise men, was exceeding angry and sending killed all the men-children that were in Bethlehem and in all the bor-

John to be baptized by him. 14 But John stayed him, saying, “I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?" 15 And Jesus answering said to him, “Suffer zt to be so now,

for so it becometh us to fulfil all justice." Then he suffered him.

hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.” 7 Jesus said to him, "It is written again: "Thou shalt not

and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them ? and said to him, "All these will I give thee, if thou

shalt thou serve.” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold: angels came and ministered to him. 12 And when Jesus had heard that John

was delivered up, he retired into Galilee. 13 And leaving the city Nazareth he came and dwelt in Capernaum on the sea coast in the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali, 14 that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah, the prophet: 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren— Simon who is called Peter and Andrew, his brother— casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers. 19 And he saith to them,

"Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men." 20 And they immediately leaving their nets followed him.

?1 And going on from thence he saw other two brethren, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a ship with Zebedee, their father, mending their nets, and he called

them. 22 And they forthwith left their nets and their father and followed him. 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing

all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers

diseases and torments and such as were possessed by devils and lunatics and those that had the palsy, and he healed them. 25 And great multitudes followed him from Galilee and from Decapolis and from Jerusalem and from Judea and from beyond the Jordan.

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and shall be cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. 21 “Not every one that saith to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall en-

ter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doth the will of my Father, who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom

of heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name and cast out devils in thy name and done many wonderful works in thy name?’ 23 And then will I profess unto them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you that work iniquity.’

the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not shall be like a

foolish man that built his house upon the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they

beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.” 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. 29 For he was teaching them as one having power and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

Chapter 8 Christ cleanses the leper, heals the centurion’s servant,

Peter’s mother-in-law and many others. He stills the storm at sea, drives the devils out of two men possessed and suffers them to go into the swine.

Ana when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 2 And behold: a leper came and worshipped him, saying, “Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.”

mented.” 7 And Jesus saith to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 And the centurion making answer said, “Lord, I am not

worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this man, ‘Go,’ and he goeth, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doth it.” 10 And when Jesus heard this he marvelled and said to

the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.” 18 And Jesus, seeing great multitudes about him, gave or-

ders to pass over the water. 19 And a certain scribe came and said to him, “Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou

shalt go.” 20 And Jesus saith to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests, but the Son of man hath not where to

lay his head.” 21 And another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.” 23 And when he entered into the ship, his disciples followed him, 24 and behold: a great tempest arose in the sea

so that the ship was covered with waves, but he was asleep. 25 And his disczples came to him and awaked him, saying, "Lord, save us; we perish!" 26 And Jesus saith to them, “Why are you fearful, O ye of

little faith?" Then rising up he commanded the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm. 27 But the men wondered, saying, “What manner of man

is this? For the winds and the sea obey him.” 28 And when he was come on the other side of the water into the country of the Gerasenes, there met him two that

were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, ex-

steep place into the sea, and they perished in the waters. 33 And they that kept them fled and coming into the city told every thing and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils. 34 And behold: the whole city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts.

And entering into a ship, he passed over the water and came into his own city. 2 And behold: they brought to him a man sick of the palsy lying on a bed.

iustos, sed peccatores." 14 Tunc accesserunt ad eum discipuli Iohannis, dicentes, "Quare nos et Pharisaei ieiunamus frequenter, discipuli au-

up thy bed, and go into thy house.” 7 And he arose and went into his house. 8 And the multitude seeing it feared and glorified God, who had given such power to men. 9 And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom-house named Matthew, and he saith to him, “Follow me.” And he rose up and followed him. 10 And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold: many publicans and sinners came and sat down with

not a physician, but they that are ill. 13 Go then, and learn

what thzs meaneth: ‘I will have mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.” 14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus

said to them, “Can the children of the bride-

groom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast. 16 And no man putteth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment, for it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. 17 Neither do they put new wine into old bottles; otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,

touch his garment, I shall be healed.” 22 But Jesus turning about and seeing her said, “Be of good

heart, daughter; thy faith hath made thee whole.” And the woman was made whole from that hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the house of the ruler and

saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout, 24 he said, “Give place, for the girl is not dead but sleepeth,” and they laughed him to scorn. 25 And when the multitude was

death. 22 And you shall be hated by al! men for my name's sake, but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be

Amen I say to you: you shall not finish all che cities of Israel till the Son of man come. 24 "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called che goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? 26 Therefore fear them not, for nothing is covered that shall not be revealed nor hid that shall not be known. 27 That which I tell you in the dark speak ye in the light, and that which you hear in the ear preach ye upon the housetops.

28 "And fear not them that kill the body and are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him that can destroy both

soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all num-

bered. 31 Fear not therefore; better are you than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father, who is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father, who is in heaven.

rise again; the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me." 7 And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the

multitude concerning John, “What went you out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold: they that are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings. 9 But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I tell you,

and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold: I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.’ 11 Amen I say to you: there hath

not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist, yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John, 14 and if you will receive it, he is Elijah that is to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his mighty works, because they had not done penance: 21 “Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida;

for if in Tyre and Sidon the mighty works had been done that have been done in you, they would long ago have done penance in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you: it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment

than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? Thou shalt go down even unto hell, for if the mighty works had been donc in Sodom that have been done in thee, perhaps it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of

Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.” 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I give thanks to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou

hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. 26 Yea, Father, for so hath it

seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father, neither doth any one know the Father but the Son and he to

whom the Son shall reveal him. 28 Come to me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. 29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek and

humble of heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. 30 For my yoke is sweet, and my burden light.”

day, and his disciples being hungry began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 Ànd the Pharisees, seeing them, said to

him, “Behold: thy disciples do that which is not lawful zo do on the sabbath days." 3 But he said to them, ^Have you not read what David did when he was hungry and they that were with him?

he entered into the house of God and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for

them that were with him but for the priests only? 5 Or have ye not read in the law how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath and are without

blame? 6 But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple. 7 And if you knew what thés meaneth: ‘I will have mercy and not sacrifice,' you would never have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” 9 And when he was departed from thence, he came into their synagogue. 10 And behold: there was a man who had his hand withered, and they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to

heal on the sabbath days?" that they might accuse him.

of earth. 6 And when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had not root, they withered away. 7 And others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8 And others fell upon good ground, and they brought forth fruit: some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold and some thirtyfold. 9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

10 And his disciples came and said to him, “Why speakest thou to them in parables?” 11 He answered and said to them, “Because to you it is

ceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. 23 But he that received the seed into good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth and beareth fruit and yieldeth one a hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.” 24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, “The

agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizania? 28 “Et ait illis, ' Inimicus homo hoc fecit." “Servi autem dixerunt ei, ‘Vis imus et colligimus ea?’

29 “Et ait, ‘Non, ne forte colligentes zizania eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum. 30 Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus, “Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad conburendum,

33 Aliam parabolam locutus est cis: "Simile est regnum caelorum fermento quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinae satis tribus donec fermentatum est totum." 34 Haec omnia locutus est Iesus in parabolis ad turbas, et sine parabolis non loquebatur eis, 35 ut impleretur quod dic-

in his field. 25 But while men were asleep, his enemy came

and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. 26 And when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. 27 Then the servants of the goodman of the house came and said to him, ‘Sir, didst

thou not sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it cockle?’ 28 “And he said to them, ‘An enemy hath done this.’ “And the servants said to him, ‘Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?

29 “And he said, ‘No, est while ye gather up the cockle you root up the wheat also together with it. 30 Let both grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "Gather up first the cockle, and bind it inco bundles

to burn, but gather the wheat into my barn.”” 31 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, “The

kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least

of all seeds, but when it is grown up, it is greater than any herbs and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and dwell in the branches thereof.”

33 Another parable he spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.” 34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes, and without parables he did not speak to them, 35 that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.” 36 Then having sent away the multitudes he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the cockle of the field.” 71

37 He made answer and said to them, “He that soweth

good seed is the Son of man, 38 and the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom, and the cockle are the children of the wicked one, 39 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up and burnt with fire, so shall it be at the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send his angels,

and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals and them that work iniquity 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the just shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

44 "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field, which when a man hath found he hideth and for

joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls, 46 who when he had found one pearl of

great price went his way and sold all that he had and bought it. 4? Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a nct cast into the sea and gathering together of all kind of fishes, 18 which when it was filled they drew out, and sitting by the shore they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. 49 So shall it be at the end ofthe world: the angels shall go out and shall separate the wicked from among the just 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be

weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51 Have ye understood all these things?" They say to him, "Yea."

bles, he departed from thence. 54 And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said, "How came this man by this wisdom and

these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James and Joseph and Simon and Jude? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath he all these things?" 57 And they were scandalized in his regard, but Jesus said to them, ^A prophet is not without honour save in his own country and in his own house." 58 And he wrought not many miracles there because of their unbelief..

3 For Herod 524 apprehended John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother's wife. 4 For John said to him, "It is not lawful for thee to have her."

5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the people, because they esteemed him as a prophet. 6But on Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod, 7 whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask of him. 8 But she being instructed before by her mother said,

"Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.” 9 And the king was struck sad, yet because of his oath and for them that sat with him at table he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent and beheaded John in the prison. 1! And his head was brought in a dish, and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came and took the body and buried it and came and told Jesus; 13 which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by ship into a desert place apart, and the people having heard of it followed him on foot out of

the cities. 14 And he coming forth saw a great multitude and had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 And when

it was evening his disciples came to him, saying, “Thzs is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send away the multitudes, that going into the towns they may buy themselves victuals." 16 But Jesus said to them, *They have no need to go; give you them to eat." 17 They answered him, “We have here but five loaves and

two fishes.” 18 He said to them, “Bring them hither to me.” 19 And when they had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon 77

loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 And they did all eat and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments. 21 And the number of them that had eaten was five thousand men, besides

women and children. 22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to get up into the ship and to go before him over the water while he sent the multitude away. 23 And when he had dismissed the multitude, he went up into a mountain alone to pray. And when

the evening was come he was there alone. 24 But the ship in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves, for the

wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them walking upon the sea. 26 And when they saw him walking on the sea they were troubled, saying, “It is an apparition,” and they cried out for fear. 27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of

good heart: it is I; be not afraid.” 28 And Peter making answer said, “Lord, if it be thou, bid

me come to thee upon the waters.” 29 And he said, “Come.”

And Peter going down out of the ship walked upon the water to come to Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind strong he was afraid, and when he began to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

31 And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him and said to him, “O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?”

ducees?’” 12 Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13 And Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi,

and he asked his disciples, saying, “Whom do men say that the Son of man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist, and othersome Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 Jesus saith to them, “But whom do you say that I am?”

16 Respondens Simon Petrus dixit, “Tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi.” 17 Respondens autem Jesus dixit ei, “Beatus es, Simon Bar Iona, quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus,

qui in caelis est. 18 Et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus, et super

hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam, et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam. 19 Et tibi dabo claves regni

caelorum. Et quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in caelis, et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit

solutum et in caelis." 20 Tunc praecepit discipulis suis ut nemini dicerent quia ipse esset lesus, Christus. 21 Exinde coepit lesus ostendere discipulis suis quia oporteret eum ire Hierosolymam et

multa pati a senioribus et scribis et principibus sacerdotum et occidi et tertia die resurgere. 22 Et adsumens eum Petrus coepit increpare illum, dicens, "Absit a te, Domine; non erit tibi hoc." 23 Qui conversus dixit Petro, "Vade post me, Satana! Scan-

dalum es mihi, quia non sapis ea quae Dei sunt sed ea quae

hominum." 24 Tunc Iesus dixit discipulis suis, “Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semet ipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me. 25 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam, qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me inveniet eam. 26 Quid enim prodest homini si mundum universum lucretur, animae vero suae detrimentum patiatur?

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art Christ, the

Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answering said to him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood hath not revealed

it to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven. 18 And I say to thee that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.”

20 Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus, the Christ. 2! From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and

suffer many things from the ancients and the scribes and the chief priests and be put to death and the third day rise again.

22 And Peter taking him began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, be it far from thee; this shall not be unto thee.” 23 But he turning said to Peter, “Get thee behind me, Satan! Thou art a scandal unto me, because thou savourest not

the things that are of God but the things that are of men.” 24 Then Jesus

said to his disciples, “If any man will come

after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and

he that shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his

Elijah talking with him. 4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three taberna-

lifted up their eyes they saw no man, but only Jesus. 9 And as they came down from the mountain Jesus charged them, saying, “Tell the vision to no man till the Son of man be risen from the dead.” 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 But he answering said to them, “Elijah indeed shall come and restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah is already come, and they knew him not but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind; so also the Son of man shall suffer from them.” 13Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist. 14 And when he was come to the multitude, there came to

him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying, “Lord, have pity on my son, for he is lunatic and suffereth

much. For he falleth often into the fire and often into the water. 15 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.” 16 Then Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me.” !7 And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was

cured from that hour. 18Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly and said, “Why could not we cast him out?”

men, 22 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again." And they were troubled exceedingly 23 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the didrachmas came to Peter and said to him, “Doth

not your master pay the didrachma?" 24 He said, " Yes."

And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented

him, saying, “What is thy opinion, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute or custom? Of their own children, or of strangers?"

?5 And he said, "Of strangers." Jesus said to him, "Then the children are free. ?6 But that we may not scandalize them, go thou to the sea, and cast in a

Chapter 18 Christ teaches humility, to beware of scandal and to flee the occasions of sin, to denounce to the church incorrigible sinners and to look upon such as refuse to hear the church as heathens. He promises to his disciples the power of binding and loosing and that he will be in the midst of their assemblies. No forgiveness for them that will not forgive.

A:

that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who,

thinkest thou, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child set him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Amen I say to you: unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the

kingdom of heaven. 5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and

that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 “Woe to the world because of scandals! For it must needs be that scandals come, but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. 8 And if thy hand or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better

for thee to go into life maimed or lame than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is 99

If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them should go astray, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? 18 And if it so be that he find it, amen I say to you: he rejoiceth more for that than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these

of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him that owed him ten thousand talents. 25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord

commanded that he should be sold and his wife and children and all that he had and payment to be made. 26 But that servant falling down besought him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.’ 27 And the lord of that servant,

being moved with compassion, let him go and forgave him the debt. 28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him a hundred pence, and laying hold of him he throttled him, saying, ‘Pay what thou owest.’ 29 And his fellow servant falling down besought him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.’

30 And he he should what was told their

and said to him, ‘Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the

debt because thou besoughtest me. 33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?’ 34 And his lord being angry delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all the debt. 35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.”

Chapter 20 The parable of the labourers in the vineyard. The ambition of the two sons of Zebedee. Christ gives sight to two blind men.

The kingdom of heaven is like to a householder who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a

penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. 4 And he said to them, ‘Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just.’ 5 And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour and did in like manner. 6 But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them, “Why stand you here all the day idle” 7 “They say to him, ‘Because no man hath hired us.’ “He saith to them, ‘Go you also into my vineyard.’ 8 “And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, ‘Call the labourers, and pay them their

hire, beginning from the last even to the first.’ 9 When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour,

they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first also

tuam et unus ad sinistram, in regno tuo." 22 Respondens autem lesus dixit, “Nescitis quid petatis.

master of the house, 12 saying, “These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us that have borne the burden of the day and the heats.’ 13 “But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I do

thee no wrong. Didst thou not agree with me for a penny? 14’Take what is thine, and go thy way. I will also give to this last even as to thee. 15 Or is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Is thy eye evil because I am good?’ 16 So shall the last be

first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” 17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart and said to them, 18 “Behold: we go up to Jerusa-

lem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death 19 and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and to be scourged and to be crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.”

20 Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping and desiring something of him. 21 And he said to her, “What wilt thou?”

She saith to him, “Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.” 22 But Jesus answered and said, “You know not what you

ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I shall drink?” They say to him, “We can.”

At illi magis clamabant, dicentes, “Domine, miserere nostri, Fili David!" 32 Et stetit lesus et vocavit eos et ait, "Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?" 33 Dicunt illi, “Domine, ut aperiantur oculi nostri.” 34 Misertus autem eorum lesus tetigit oculos eorum, et confestim 1»

23 He saith to them, “Of my chalice indeed you shall drink, but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.” 24 And when the ten heard it they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the princes of the Gentiles

lord it over them and they that are the greater exercise power upon them. 26 It shall not be so among you, but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minis-

ter. 27 And he that will be first among you shall be your servant, 28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many.” 29 And when they went out from Jericho, a great multi-

tude followed him. 30 And behold: two blind men sitting by the wayside heard that Jesus passed by, and they cried out, saying, “O Lord, thou Son of David, have mercy on us!”

31 And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying, “O Lord, thou Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 And Jesus stood still and called them and said, “What

will ye that I should do to you?” 33 They say to him, “Lord, that our eyes be opened." 34 And Jesus having compassion on them touched their eyes, and immediately they received sight and followed him.

Chapter 21 Christ rides into Jerusalem upon an ass. He casts the buyers and sellers out of the temple, curses the fig tree and puts to silence the priests and scribes.

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage unto Mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disci-

ples, 2 saying to them, “Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them, and bring them to me. 3 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them, and forthwith he will let them go.”

4 Now all this was done that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5“Tell ye the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold: thy king cometh to thee meek

and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke.”

6 And the disciples going did as Jesus commanded them. ? And they brought the ass and the colt and laid their garments upon them and made him sit thereon. 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way, and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed

is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the chairs of them that

sold doves. 13 And he saith to them, “It is written: ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer, but you have made it a

den of thieves." 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were moved with indignation 16 and said to him, “Hearest thou what these say?” And Jesus said to them, “Yea; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected

hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it, “May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever.” And immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying, “How is it presently withered away?” 21 And Jesus answering said to them, “Amen I

33 “Hear ye another parable. There was a certain householder who planted a vineyard and made a hedge round about it and dug in it a winepress and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went into a strange country. 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants

to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen laid hands on his servants and beat one and killed another and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the former, and they did to them in like manner. 37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying, “They will reverence my son.’

38“But when the husbandmen saw the son they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come; let us kill him,

and we shall have his inheritance.’ 39 And taking him they cast him forth out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?” 41 They say to him, “He will bring those evil men to an evil end and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that

shall render him the fruit in due season.” 42 Jesus saith to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same is

become the head of the corner’? ‘By the Lord this has been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’ # Therefore I say to

you: the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on

whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.” 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard

Aes answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like to a king who made a marriage for his son. 3 And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage, and they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, "Iell them that were invited, “Behold: I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the wedding." 5 But they neglected and went their own ways, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise. 6 And the

rest laid hands on his servants and having treated them contumeliously put them to death. 7 But when the king heard of it he was angry, and sending his armies he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. 8 "Then he saith to his servants, “The wedding indeed is ready, but they that were invited were not worthy. 9 Go ye 125

wedding garment?’ But he was silent. 13 Then the king said to the waiters, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into

the exterior darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” 15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted among themselves how to ensnare him in his speech. 16 And they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth; neither carest thou for any man, for thou dost

not regard the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore what dost thou think: is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?” 18 But Jesus knowing their wickedness said, “Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the coin of the tribute.” And they offered him a penny. 20 And Jesus saith to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” 21 They say to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he saith to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the

things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And when they heard this they wondered and leaving him went their way. 23The same day the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 saying, “Master, Moses said, ‘If a man die having no son, his brother shall

marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother.’25 Now there 127

For they all had her.”

29 And Jesus answering said to them, “You err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be given in marriage but

shall be as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was

spoken by God, saying to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the

God of the dead but of the living." 33 And when the multitudes heard this they were in admiration at his doctrine. 34 And when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they came together. 35 And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him,

36 *Master, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, ““Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God,

witb thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And the second is like to this: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.’ 40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets." 41 And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying, “What think you of Christ? Whose son is he?” They say to him, "David's. 43 He saith to them, “How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit on my »

Chapter 23 Christ admonishes the people to follow the good doctrine, not the bad example of the scribes and Pharisees. He warns his disciples not to imitate their ambition and denounces divers woes against them for their hypocrisy and blindness.

Thea Jesus spoke to the multitude and to his disciples, 2 saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. 3 All therefore whatsoever they shall say to

you observe and do, but according to their works do ye not, for they say and do not. 4 For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but with a finger of their own they will not move them. 5 And all their

works they do for to be seen of men, for they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes. 6 And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues 7 and salutations in the marketplace and to be called by men Rabbi. 8 But be not you called Rabbi, for one is your master, and all you are brethren. 9 And call none your 131

And Jesus being come out of the temple went away, and his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.

our lamps are gone out.’ 9“The wise answered, saying, ‘Lest there be not enough for us and for you, go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.’

Potuit enim istud venundari multo et dari pau-

was called Caiaphas, 4 and they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death. 5 But they said, “Not on the festival day, /est there should be a tumult among the people." 6 And when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, ? there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he

was at table. 8 And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying, “To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this might have

been sold for much and given to the poor." 10 And Jesus knowing it said to them, “Why do you trouble this woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon

me. 11 For the poor you have always with you, but me you have not always. 12 For she in pouring this ointment upon my body hath done it for my burial. 13 Amen I say to you: wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a mem-

ory of her." 14 Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, 15 and he said to them, “What

will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver, 16 and from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him. 17 And on the first day of the Azymes the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee

to eat the Pasch?” 18 But Jesus said, “Go ye into the city to a certain man,

and say to him, ‘The master saith, “My time is near at hand. I will keep the Pasch at thy house with my disciples.””” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed to them, and they prepared the Pasch. 153

20 Now when it was evening he sat down with his twelve disciples, 21 and whilst they were eating he said, “Amen I say

to you that one of you is about to betray me.” 22 And they being very much troubled began every one to say, “Is it I, Lord?” 23 But he answering said, “He that dippeth his hand with

me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed! It were better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 And Judas, that betrayed him, answering said, “Is it I,

Rabbi?” He saith to him, “Thou hast said it.”

26 And whilst they were at supper Jesus took bread and blessed and broke and gave to his disciples and said, “Take ye, and eat. This is my body.” 27 And taking the chalice he gave thanks and gave to them, saying, “Drink ye all of this, 28 for this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be

shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 And I say to you: I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new with you in the kingdom of my Father.” 30 And when they had sung a hymn they went out to Mount Olivet. 31 Then Jesus saith to them, “All you shall be scandalized in me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be dispersed.’ 32 But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.” 33 And Peter answering said to him, “Though all men shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.”

34 Jesus said to him, “Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow thou wilt deny me thrice.” 35 Peter saith to him, “Though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee.” And in like manner said all the disciples.

36 Then Jesus came with them to a country place which is called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit you here till I go yonder and pray.” 37 And taking with him Peter and

the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad. 38 Then he saith to them, “My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here, and watch with me.” 39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face praying and saying, “O my Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou w/t.”

40 And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter, “What? Could you not watch one hour with me? 41 Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.” 42 Again he went the second time and prayed, saying, “O my Father, if this chalice may not pass away but I must drink it, thy will be done.” 43 And he cometh again and findeth them asleep, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And leaving them he went again, and he prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he cometh to his disciples and saith to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold: the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise; let us go. Behold: he is at hand that will betray me.” 47 As he yet spoke, behold: Judas, one of the twelve, came,

and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent 157

Then they came up and laid hands onJesus and held him. 51 And behold: one of them that were with Jesus stretching forth his hand drew out his sword and striking the servant of the high priest cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus saith to him, “Put up again thy sword into its place, for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more

than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled that so it must be done?” 55 In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “You are come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I

sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me. 56 Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all leaving him fled away. 57 But they holding Jesus led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled. 58 But Peter followed him afar off to the high priest’s palace, and going in he sat with the servants to see the end. 59 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death, 60 and they found not, though many false witnesses had come in. And last of all there came two false witnesses, 6! and they said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and in three days to rebuild it.

62 And the high priest rising up said to him, “Answerest

thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee?” 63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure thee by the living God that thou tell us if thou be the Christ, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus saith to him, “Thou hast said it. Nevertheless I say to you: hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on

the right hand of the power of God and coming in the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, “He

hath blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold: now you have heard the blasphemy. 66 What think you?”

But they answering said, “He is guilty of death." 67 Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him, and others struck his face with the palms of their hands, 68 saying, “Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?” 69 But Peter sat without in the palace, and there came to him a servant maid, saying, “Thou also wast with Jesus the

Galilean.” 70 But he denied before them all, saying, “I know not what thou sayest.” 71 And as he went out of the gate another maid saw him, and she saith to them that were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

72 And again he denied with an oath, “I know not the man.”

And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. 2 And they brought him bound and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the governor. 3 Then Judas, who be-

trayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the ancients, 4 saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? Look thou to it.” 5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple he departed and went and hanged himself with a halter. 6 But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver said, “It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.” 7And after they had consulted together they bought with them the potter’s field to be a burying place 163

Dicit ei Iesus, “Tu dicis."

12 Et cum accusaretur a principibus sacerdotum et senioribus, nihil respondit. 13 Tunc dicit illi Pilatus, “Non audis quanta adversum te dicant testimonia?" 14 Et non respondit

quod per invidiam tradidissent eum. 19 Sedente autem illo pro tribunali, misit ad illum uxor eius, dicens, ^Nihil tibi sit et iusto illi, multa enim passa sum hodie per somnum propter eum." 20 Principes autem sacerdotum et seniores persuaserunt

fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah, the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they prized of the children of

Israel, 10 and they gave them unto the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed to me.” 11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying, “Art thou the king of the Jews?” Jesus saith to him, “Thou sayest it.” 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing. 13 Then Pilate saith to him,

“Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee?” 14 And he answered him to never a word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly. 15 Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner whom they would. 16 And he had then a notorious prisoner, that was called Barabbas. 17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said, “Whom will you that I release to you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18 For he knew that for envy

they had delivered him. 19 And as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have thou nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.” 20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people

that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away. 21 And the governor answering said to them, “Whether will you have of the two to be released unto you?” But they said, “Barabbas.” 165

before the people, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.” 25 And all the people answering said, “His blood be upon us and upon our children.” 26 Then he released to them Ba-

rabbas, and having scourged Jesus delivered him to them to be crucified. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor, taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band, 28 and

stripping him, they put a scarlet cloak about him. 29 And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a

reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him they mocked him, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 30 And spitting upon him they took the reed and struck his head. 31 And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him and put on him his own garments and led him away to crucify him. 32 And going out they found a man of Cyrene named Simon; him they forced to take up his cross. 33 And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is, “the place of Calvary.” 34 And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall, and when he had tasted, he would not drink. 35 And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, 167

among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots.” 36 And they sat down and watched him. 37 And they put over his head his cause, written: “This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.” 38 Then were there crucified with him two thieves, the

one on the right hand and the other on the left. 39 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, “Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again, save thy own self! If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

41 In like manner also the chief priests with the scribes and ancients mocking said, 42 "He saved others; himself he

cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him, for he

said, ‘I am the Son of God.” 44 And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with him reproached him with. 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lamma

sa-

bacthani?” (That is, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”) 47 And some that stood there and heard said, “This man

calleth for Elijah.” 48 And immediately one of them running took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink. 49 And the others said, “Let be; let us see whether Elijah will come to deliver him.” 50 And Jesus again crying with a loud voice yielded up the ghost. 51 And behold: the veil of the temple was rent in two from 169

54 Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were greatly afraid, saying, “Indeed this was the Son of God.” 55 And there were there many women afar off who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him, 56among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of

Zebedee. 57 And when it was evening, there came a certain rich man of Arimathea named Joseph, who also himself was a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered, 59 and Joseph taking the body wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth 60 and laid it in his own new monument, which he had

hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. 61 And there was there Mary Magdalene and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre. 62 And the next day, which followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, 63 saying, "Sir, we have remembered that that seducer

said while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.’ 64 Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day, /est his disciples come and steal him away and say to the people, ‘He is risen from the dead,’ so the last error

shall be worse than the first.” 171

And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And behold: there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and coming rolled back the stone and sat upon it. 3 And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as

snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answering said to the women, “Fear not you, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place

where the Lord was laid. 7 And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen, and behold: he wzZ/ go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo: I have foretold it to you." 8 And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. 9 And behold: Jesus met them, saying, “All hail.” But they came up and took hold of his feet and worshipped him. 173

10 Then Jesus said to them, “Be not afraid. Go; tell my brethren that they go into Galilee; there they shall see me.” 11 Now when they were departed, behold: some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all the

things that had been done. 12 And they, being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, "Say you, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away when we were asleep.’

14 And if the governor shall hear of this, we will persuade him and secure you.” 15 So they taking the money did as they were taught, and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day..

16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them, 17 and seeing

him they adored, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus coming spoke to them, saying, “All power is given to me in heaven

and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold: I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world."

Chapter 1 The preaching of John the Baptist. Christ is baptized by

him. He calls his disciples and works many miracles.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in Isaiah, the prophet: “Behold: I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the desert: ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.” 4 John was in the desert baptizing and preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out to him all the country of Judea and all they of Jerusalem and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair and a

leathern girdle about his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey, 7 and he preached, saying, "There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not

worthy to stoop down and loose. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost." 9 And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And forthwith coming up out of the water he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending and 179

16 Et praeteriens secus Mare Galilaeae, vidit Simonem et Andream, fratrem eius, mittentes retia in mare (erant enim

piscatores). 17 Et dixit eis Iesus, "Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum." 18 Et protinus relictis retibus secuti sunt eum. 19 Et progressus inde pusillum, vidit Iaco-

immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert. 13 And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights and was tempted by Satan, and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him. 14 And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God 15 and saying, “The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the gospel.” 16 And as he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen). 17 And Jesus

said to them, “Come after me,

and I will make you to become fishers of men.” 18 And immediately leaving their nets they followed him. 19 And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets, 20 and forthwith he called them. And

they left their father, Zebedee, in the ship with his hired men, and followed him.

21 And they enter into Capernaum, and forthwith on the sabbath day, going into the synagogue, he taught them. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught

them as one that had authority and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man wrth an unclean spirit, and he cried out, 24 saying, “What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who

thou art: the Holy One of God.” 25 And Jesus threatened him, saying, “Speak no more, and go out of the man.” 26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him. 27 And 181

doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And the fame of him was

spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee. 29 And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. 30 And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever, and forthwith they tell him of her. 31 And he came and lifted her up, taking her by the hand, and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32 And when it was evening, after sunset they brought to him all that were diseased and that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. 35 And rising very early in the morning, going out he went into a desert place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said to him, “All men seek for

thee.” 38 And he saith to them, “Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also, for to this purpose am I come.” 39 And he preached in their synagogues and in all Galilee and cast out devils. 40 And there came a leper to him beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him, “If thou wilt,

thou canst make me clean.” 41 And Jesus having compassion on him stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him, “T will; be thou

6 And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts, 7“Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins but God only?” 8 And Jesus, presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them, “Why think you these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier: to say to the sick of the palsy, “Thy sins are forgiven thee,’ or to say, Arise,

take up thy bed, and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,” (he saith to the sick of the palsy) 11 “I say to thee: arise, take up

thy bed, and go thy way into thy house.” 12 And immediately he arose and taking up his bed went his way in the sight of all, so that all wondered and glorified God, saying, “We never saw the like.” 13 And he went forth again to the sea side, and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them. 14 And when he was passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and he saith to him, “Follow me.” And ris-

ing up he followed him. 15 And it came to pass that as he sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who also followed him. 16 And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he did eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, “Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?” 17 Jesus hearing this saith to them, “They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.”

18 Now the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to

fast, and they come and say to him, “Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus saith to them, “Can the children of the mar-

riage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days. 21 No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment; otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; otherwise the wine will burst the bot-

tles, and both the wine will be spilled and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.”

23 And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward and to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said to him, “Behold: why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and they that were with him? 26 How he went into the house of God under Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

Ass he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith to the man who had the withered hand, "Stand up in the midst." 4 And he saith to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or

Jerusalem and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan, and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. 9 And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. 10 For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils. 11 And the unclean spirits, when they saw I9I

art the Son of God.” And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. 13 And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself, and they came to him. 4 And he made that twelve should be with him and that he might send them to preach. 15 And he gave them power to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils. 16 And to Simon he gave the name of Peter; 17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, and he named them Boanerges, which

is “The Sons of Thunder”; 18and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James of Alphaeus and Thaddeus and Simon Cananaeus 19 and Judas Is-

cariot, who also betrayed him. 20 And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

21 And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him, for they said, “He is become mad.” 22 And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem said, “He hath Beelzebub,” and “By the prince of devils he

casteth out devils.” 23 And after he had called them together he said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand,

25 and if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided and cannot stand, but hath an end. 27 No man can en-

ter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. 28 “Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto 193

asked him the parable. 11 And he said to them, “To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to them that are without all things are done in parables, 12 that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may

hear and not understand, lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them.” 13 And he saith to them, “Know you not this parable? How then shall you know all parables? 14 He that soweth, soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immedi-

ately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground, who when they have heard the word

immediately receive it with joy, 17 and they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time, and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, they are presently scandalized. 18 And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word, 19 and the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is 197

24 And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; in what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.” 26 And he said, “So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth 27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up whilst he knoweth not. 28 For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit: first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in

the ear. 29 And when the fruit js brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.” 30 And he said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or to what parable shall we compare it? 31 It is as a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, ts less than all the seeds that are in the earth, 32 and when it is

sown, it groweth up and becometh greater than all herbs and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.” 33 And with many such parables he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear. 34And without parable he did not speak unto them, but apart he ex plained all things to his disciples. 35 And he saith to them 199

into the ship, so that the ship was filled. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow, and they awake him and say to him, “Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?”

39 And rising up he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace; be still.” And the wind ceased, and there was made a

great calm. 40 And he said to them, “Why are you fearful? Have you not faith yet?” And they feared exceedingly, and they said one to another, “Who is this, thinkest thou, that both wind and sea

having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him. 5 And he was always day and night in the tombs and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones. 6And seeing Jesus afar off he ran and worshipped him, 7 and crying with a loud voice he said, “What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not.” 8 For he said to him, “Go out of the man, thou unclean

spirit.” 9 And he asked him, “What is thy name?” And he saith to him, “My name is Legion, for we are

many.” 10And he besought him much that he would not drive him away out of the country. 11 And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And the spirits besought him, saying, “Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.” 13 And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd with great violence

was carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, and were stifled in the sea. 14 And they that fed them fled and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done, 16 and they come to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil sitting, clothed and well in his wits, and they were afraid. 16 And they that had seen it told them in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil and concerning the swine. 17 And they began to pray him to depart from their coasts.

“Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee and hath had mercy on

down at his feet. 23 And he besought him much, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Come; lay thy band upon her, that she may be safe and may live.” 24 And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

25 And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing the better, but rather worse, 27 when she had heard of Jesus, came in the

crowd behind him and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I shall but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” 29 And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil. 30 And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude said, “Who hath touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, ‘Who hath touched

me?"

35 While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, "Thy daughter is dead. Why dost thou trouble the master any farther?” 36 But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, saith

house of the ruler of the synagogue, and he seeth a tumult and people weeping and wailing much. 39 And going in he saith to them, “Why make you this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead but sleepeth.” 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel and them that were with him and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41 And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her, “Talitha cumi,” which is,

being interpreted, “Damsel, (I say to thee) arise.” 42 And immediately the damsel rose up and walked; now she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 43 And he charged them strictly that no man should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.” 24 And when

she was gone out, she said to her mother,

“What shall I ask?” But she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25 And she came in immediately with haste to the kingand asked, saying, “I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish the head of John the Baptist.” 26 And the king was struck sad; yet because of his oath and because of them that were with him

at table he would not displease her, 27 but sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison 28 and brought his head in a dish and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29 Which his disciples hearing came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. 30 And the apostles coming together unto Jesus related to

him all things that they had done and taught. 31 And he said to them, “Come ye apart into a desert place, and rest a little.” For there were many coming and going, and they had not so much as time to eat. 32 And going up into a ship, they

went into a desert place apart. 33 And they saw them going away, and many knew, and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities and were there before them. 34 And Jesus

going out saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying, “This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; 36 send them away, that going into the next villages and towns they may buy themselves meat to eat.” 213

39 And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed and broke the loaves and gave to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. 2 And they all did eat and had their fill. 43 And they took up the leavings: twelve full baskets of fragments and of the fishes. 44 And they that did eat were five thousand men. 45 And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida whilst he dismissed the people. 46 And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray. 47 And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea,

villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his gar-

Chapter 7 Christ rebukes the Pharisees. He heals the daughter of the woman of Canaan and the man that was deaf and dumb.

And there assemble together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem. 2 And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients, 4and

but they eat bread with common hands?” 6 But he answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.’ 8 For leaving the commandment of God,

you hold the tradition of men: the washing of pots and of cups, and many other things you do like to these.” 9 And he said to them, “Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honour thy father and thy mother,’ and ‘He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man shall say to his father or mother, “Corban” (that is, “a gift”), ““whatsoever is from me, shall

profit thee.”’ 12 And further you suffer him not to do anything for his father or mother, 13 making void the word of God by your own tradition which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.” 14 And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them, “Hear ye me all, and understand. 15 There is nothing from without a man entering into him that can defile him,

but the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” 17 And when he was come into the house from the multi-

heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lascivi-

ousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man. 24 And he arose from thence and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house he would have no man know it, Put he could not be hid. 25 For a certain woman

heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, and presently came in and fell down at his feet. 26 For the woman

was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician born. And she besought him to cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not good

to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered and said to him, “Yea, Lord, for the whelps also eat under the table of the children’s crumbs.”

the more a great deal did they publish it, 37 and so much the more did they wonder, saying, “He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.”

I. those days again when there was a great multitude and had nothing to eat, calling his disciples together, he saith to them, 2“I have compassion on the multitude, for behold:

they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint in the way, for some of them came from afar off.” 4 And his disciples answered him, “From whence can any one satisfy them here with bread in the wilderness?” 5 And he asked them, “How many loaves have ye?” And they said, “Seven.” 223

And he sent them away. 10 And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharisees

4 And Peter answering said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles: one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 5 For he knew not

what he said, for they were struck with fear. 6 And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my most beloved Son; hear ye him.” 7 And immediately looking about they saw no man any more but Jesus only with them. 8 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen till the Son of man shall be

risen again from the dead. 9 And they kept the word to themselves, questioning together what that should mean, “When he shall be risen from the dead.” 10 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 And he answered and said to them, “Elijah, when he shall come first, shall restore all things, and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised. 12 But I say to you that Elijah also is come, and they have done to him whatsoever they would, as it is written of him.” 13 And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes questioning with them. 14 And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and running to him they saluted him. 15 And he asked them, “What do you question about among you?”

16 And one of the multitude answering said, “Master, I

have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit, 17 and wheresoever he taketh him, he dasheth him, and he foameth

and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.” 18 And Jesus answering them said, "O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.” 19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him,

and being thrown down upon the ground he rolled about foaming. 20 And he asked his father, “How long time is it since this hath happened unto him?” But he said, “From his infancy, 21 and oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 22 And Jesus

saith to him, “If thou canst believe, all things

are possible to him that believeth.” 23 And immediately the father of the boy crying out with tears said, “I do believe, Lord; help thou my unbelief.”

24 And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Thou deaf and dumb spirit,

I command thee, go out of him, and enter no

more into him.” 25 And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 26 But Jesus taking him by the hand lifted him up, and he arose. 27 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could not we cast him out?” 28 And he said to them, “This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”

32 And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, “What did you treat of in the

this in my name receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him that sent me.” 37 John answered him, saying, “Master, we saw one casting

out devils in thy name who followeth not us, and we forbade him.” 38 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name that can soon speak ill of me. 39 For he that is not against you is for you. 40 For whosoever

shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ, amen I say to you: he shall not lose his reward.

Therefore now they are not two but one flesh. 9 What there-

fore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." 10 And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing. 11 And he saith to them, “Whosoever

shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her. 12 And if the wife shall put away her husband and be married to another, she committeth adultery.” 13 And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. 14 And when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased and said to them, "Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Amen

I say to you: whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.” 16 And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them. 17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him asked him, “Good master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?"

that saying went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples,

“How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering saith to them, “Children,

Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?” 39 But they said to him, “We can.”

And Jesus saith to them, “You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of, and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized. 40 But to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared.”

Chapter 12 The parable of the vineyard and husbandmen. Caesar’s right to tribute. The Sadducees are confuted. The first commandment. The widow’s mite.

Ana he began to speak to them in parables: “A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge round it and dug a place for the wine-fat and built a tower and let it to husbandmen and went into a far country. 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they having laid hands on him beat him and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent to them another servant, and him they wounded in the head and used him reproachfully. 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed, and many others, of whom some they beat and others they killed. “6 Having therefore yet one son most dear to him, he sent him also to them last of all, saying, “They will reverence my son.’ 7 But the husbandmen said one to another, “This is the heir. Come; let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’

8 And laying hold on him they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. 9“What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. 10 And have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become

that they should catch him in his words. 4 And coming they say to him, "Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any man, for thou regardest not the person of men but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or shall we not give it?" 15 But he knowing their wiliness saith to them, “Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it." 16 And they brought it him. And he saith to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?" They say to him, "Caesar's." 1?

shall neither marry nor be given in marriage, but are as the

angels in heaven. 26 And as concerning the dead, that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses how in

the bush God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is

not the God of the dead but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.” 28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. 29 And Jesus answered him, “The first commandment of all is, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord, thy God, is one God, 30 and

thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like to it: “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “Well, Master; thou hast

said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him, 33 and that he should be loved with the whole

heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength, and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.”

gladly. 38 And he said to them in his doctrine, “Beware of the

scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace 39 and to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the highest places at suppers, 40 who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer, these shall receive greater judgment.” 41 And Jesus sitting over against the treasury beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And call-

ing his disciples together he saith to them, “Amen I say to you: this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance, but she of her want cast in all she had, even her

saith to them, “You will all be scandalized in

my regard this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed.’ 28 But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.” 29 But Peter saith to him, “Although all shall be scandalized zn thee, yet not I." 30 And Jesus saith to him, “Amen I say to thee: today, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me

thrice.” 31 But he spoke the more vehemently, “Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee.” And in like

manner also said they all. 32 And they came to a farm called Gethsemane. And he

saith to his disciples, “Sit you here while I pray.” 33 And he taketh Peter and James and John with him, and he began to

fear and to be heavy. 34 And he saith to them, “My soul is sorrowful even unto death; stay you here, and watch.” 35 And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground,

and he prayed that if it might be, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; take away this chalice from me—but not what I will,

but what thou wilt.” 37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter, “Simon,

sleepest thou? Couldst

thou not

watch one hour? 38 Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same 271

43 Et adhuc eo loquente venit Iudas Iscariotes, unus ex duodecim, et cum illo turba multa cum gladiis et lignis, a summis sacerdotibus et scribis et senioribus. 44 Dederat autem traditor eius signum eis, dicens, "Quemcumque osculatus fuero, ipse est; tenete eum, et ducite caute." 45 Et cum

hour is come. Behold: the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise up; let us go. Behold: he that will betray me is at hand." 43 And while he was yet speaking cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and

the ancients. 44 And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.” 45 And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith, “Hazl, Rabbi,” and he kissed him. 46 But they laid hands on him and held

him. 47 And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest and cut off his ear.

48 And Jesus answering said to them, “Are you come out as to a robber with swords and staves to apprehend me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.” 50 Then his disciples leaving him all fled away. 51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body, and they laid hold on him. 52 But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.

53 And they brought Jesus to the high priest, and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients were assembled together. 54 And Peter followed him from afar off even into the court of the high priest, and he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. 55 And the chief priests and

all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they 273 4

erant. 57 Et quidam surgentes falsum testimonium ferebant adversus eum, dicentes 58 quoniam “Nos audivimus eum dicentem, ‘Ego dissolvam templum hoc manufactum, et per triduum aliud non manufactum aedificabo.’” 59 Et non erat conveniens testimonium illorum. 60 Et exsurgens summus sacerdos in medium interrogavit

Iesum, dicens, “Non respondes quicquam ad ea quae tibi obiciuntur ab his?” 61 Ille autem tacebat et nihil respondit. Rursum summus sacerdos interrogabat eum et dixit ei, “Tu

es Christus, Filius Dei benedicti?"

62 Iesus autem dixit illi, "Ego sum. Et videbitis Filium hominis a dextris sedentem virtutis et venientem cum nubibus

caeli." 63 Summus

“Quid adhuc desideramus testes? 64 Audistis blasphemiam. Quid vobis videtur?" Qui omnes condemnaverunt eum esse

reum mortis. 65 Et coeperunt quidam conspuere eum et velare faciem eius et colaphis eum caedere et dicere ei, “Pro-

saying, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.” 59 And their witness did not agree. 60 And the high priest rising up in the midst asked Jesus, saying, "Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?" 61 But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, "Art thou the Christ, the Son of the blessed God?"

62 And Jesus said to him, “I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds of heaven." 63 Then the high priest rending his garments saith, “What need we any farther witnesses? 64 You have heard the blasphemy. What think you?" And they all condemned him to

be guilty of death. 65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet him and to say to him, “Proph-

esy!” and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands. 66 Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh

one of the maidservants of the high priest. 67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith, *Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth." 68 But he denied, saying, ^I neither know nor understand

what thou sayest." And he went forth before the court, and the cock crew. 69 And again a maidservant seeing him began to say to the standers by, “This is one of them." 70 But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter, 275

Chapter 15 The continuation of the history of the passion.

And

straightway in the morning the chief priests, hold-

him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, “Art thou the king of the Jews?”

But he answering saith to him, “Thou sayest it.” 3 And the chief priests accused him in many things. 4 And

Pilate again asked him, saying, “Answerest thou nothing? Behold in how many things they accuse thee.” 5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate wondered. 6 Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto

them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some seditious men who in the sedition had committed murder.

rabbas to them. 12 And Pilate again answering saith to them, “What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?” 13 But they again cried out, “Crucify him!”

14 And Pilate sath to them, “Why, what evil hath he done?” But they cried out the more, “Crucify him!” 15 And so Pilate, being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to

be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace, and they called together the whole band. 17 And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns they put it upon him. 18 And they began to salute him: “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 And they struck his head with a reed, and they did spit on him, and bowing their knees they worshipped him. 20 And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him. 21 And they forced one Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the coun-

try, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his Cross. 22 And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being interpreted is “The Place of Calvary.” 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, dut he

it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of his cause was written over: "The King of the Jews." 27 And with him they crucify two thieves, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, "And with the wicked he was re-

puted." 29 And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying, "Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again, 30 save thyself, coming down from the cross!" 31 In like manner also the chief priests with the scribes mocking said one to another, “He saved others; himself he cannot save. 32 Let Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross,

that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with him reviled him. 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness

over the whole earth until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?" which is, being interpreted, “My God,

my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" 35 And some of the standers by hearing said, “Behold: he calleth Elijah." 36 And one, running and filling a sponge with vinegar and putting it upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying, “Stay; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down." 37 And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom. 39 And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said, “Indeed this man was the Son of

God." 281

Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. 44 But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion he asked him if he were already dead. 45 And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 46 And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock, and he rolled a stone to the

door of the sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid.

For it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe, and they were astonished. 6 And he saith to them, “Be not affrighted. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold: the place where they laid him. 7 But

prayer is heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John; 14 and thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great before the Lord and shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God. 17 And he shall

go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the in-

credulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.” 18 And Zachary said to the angel, “Whereby shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in

years.” 19 And the angel answering said to him, “I am Gabriel,

who stand before God, and am sent to speak to thee and to bring thee these good tidings. 20 And behold: thou shalt be dumb and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.”

from God into a city of Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of

David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And the angel being come in said to her, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women.” 29 And when she had heard, she was troubled at his saying and thought with her self what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. 31 Behold: thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David, his father; 33 and he shall reign in the house of Jacob

for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be done?

Because I know not man.” 35 And the angel answering said to her, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36 And behold: thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her

Christ, 16 John answered, saying unto all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but there shall come one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire, 17 whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor and will gather the wheat

into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with un-

quenchable fire.” 18 And many other things exhorting did he preach to the people. 19 But Herod, the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which

Herod had done, 20 he added this also above all and shut up John in prison. 21 Now it came to pass when all the people were baptized that, Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape as a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven: “Thou

art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” 23 And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years, being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of Matthat, 24 who was of Levi, who was of Melchi, who was of Jannai, who was of Joseph, 25 who was of Mattathias, who was of Amos, who was of Nahum, who was of Esli, who was of Naggai, 26 who was of Maath, who was of Mattathias, who was of Semein, who was of Joseph, who was of Joda, 27 who was of Joanan, who was of Rhesa, who was of Zerubbabel, who was of Salathiel, who was of Neri, 28 who was of Melchi, who was of Addi, who was of Cosam, who was of Elmadam, who was of Er, 29 who was of Joshua, who was of Eliezer, who was of Jorim, who was of Matthat,

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him, “If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence. 10 For it is written that ‘he hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee,’ 11 and that ‘in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” 12 And Jesus answering said to him, “It is said, ‘Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” 13 And when all the temptation was ended, the devil departed from him for a time. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Gali-

lee, and the fame of him went out through the whole country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues and was extolled by all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up, and he went into the synagogue according to his custom on the sabbath day. And he rose up to read, 17 and the book of Isaiah, the prophet, was delivered unto him. And as he un-

me to heal the contrite of heart, 19 to preach deliverance to the captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of reward.” 20 And when he had folded the book,

he restored it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears.” 22 And all gave testimony to him, and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said, “Is not this the son of Joseph?” 23 And he said to them, “Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: ‘Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy own country.” 24 And he said, “Amen I say to you that no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when heaven

was shut up three years and six months, a great famine throughout all the earth; them was Elijah sent, but to Zarephath of woman. 27 And there were many lepers in

when 26 and Sidon Israel

there was to none of to a widow in the time

of Elisha, the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but

Naaman, the Syrian.” 28 And all they in the synagogue hearing these things were filled with anger. 29 And they rose up and thrust him out of the city, and they brought him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way. 319

31 And he went down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and there he taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art

thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art: the Holy One of God.” 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold thy peace, and go

out of him.” And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him and hurt him not at all. 36 And there came fear upon all, and they talked among

themselves, saying, “What word is this? For with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out.” 37 And the fame of him was published into every place of the country. 38 And Jesus rising up out of the synagogue went into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her. 39 And standing over her he commanded the fever, and it left her. And im-

mediately rising she ministered to them. 40 And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them healed them. 41 And devils went out from many, crying out and saying, “Thou art the Son of God.” And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ. 42 And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place, and the multitudes sought him and came unto him,

ting he taught the multitudes out of the ship. 4 Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon, “Launch out into

the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” 5And Simon answering said to him, “Master, we have

labored all the night and have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes, and their net broke. 7 And they beckoned to their partners that were in

O Lord.” 9 For he was wholly astonished and all that were with him at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. 10 And so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee,

who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon, “Fear not; from henceforth

thou shalt catch men.” 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, leaving all things they followed him. 12 And it came to pass when he was in a certain city, behold: a man full of leprosy, who seeing Jesus and falling on his face besought him, saying, “Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst

make me clean.” 13 And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, “I will; be thou cleansed.” And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 14 And he charged him that he should tell no man, but, “Go; shew thyself to the priest, and offer for

thy cleansing according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them.” 15 But the fame of him went abroad the more, and great

multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 16 And he retired into the desert and prayed. 17 And it came to pass on a certain day that he sat teach-

ing, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was to heal them. 18 And behold: men brought in a bed a man who had the palsy, and they sought means to bring him in and to lay him before him. 19 And when they could not find by what way

And they were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen wonderful things today.” 27 And after these things he went forth and saw a publican named Levi sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said to

bridegroom fast whilst the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.” 36 And he spoke also a similitude to them: “That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment; otherwise

he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old. 37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; otherwise the new wine will burst the bot-

forth. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you if it be lawful on the sabbath days to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?” 10 And looking round about on them all he said to the man, “Stretch forth thy hand.” And he stretched it forth,

and his hand was restored. 11 And they were filled with madness, and they talked one with another what they might do to Jesus.

12 And it came to pass in those days that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God. 13 And when day was come, he called to bm his disciples, and he chose twelve of them, whom also he named apostles: 14Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James, the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes 16 and Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

17 And coming down with them he stood in a plain place and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast

both of Tyre and Sidon 18 who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him and healed all. 20 And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said, “Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are

ye that hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Be glad in that day, and rejoice, for behold: your reward is great in heaven. For according to these things

did their fathers to the prophets. 24 “But woe to you that are rich, for you have your consolation. 25 Woe to you that are filled, for you shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when men shall bless you, for according to these things did their fathers to the false prophets. 27 “But I say to you that hear: love your enemies; do good

to them that hate you. 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them that calumniate you. 29 And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek offer also the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak forbid not £o take thy coat also. 30 Give to every one that asketh thee, and of him that

taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them in like manner. 333

For sinners also do this. 34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? For sinners also lend to sinners, for to receive as much. 35 But love ye your enemies; do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby, and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest, for he is kind to the unthank ful and to the evil. 36 “Be ye therefore merciful, as your father also is merciful. 37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. 38 Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

39 And he spoke also to them a similitude: “Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master, but every one shall be per-

And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? 42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, *Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye," when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye. 43 “For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes. 45 A 335

And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 2 And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, was sick

hath built us a synagogue.” 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centu-

rion sent his friends to him, saying, "Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof. 7 Wherefore neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee, but say the word, and my servant shall be healed. 8 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, ‘Go, and he goeth, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he cometh, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he

doth it.” 9 Which when Jesus heard he marvelled, and turning about to the multitude that followed.him he said, “Amen

I say to you: I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.” 10 And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.

11 And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Nain, and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude. 12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold: a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had

compassion on her and said to her, “Weep not.” 4 And he came near and touched the bier, and they that carried it

stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to thee: arise.” 15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16 And there came a fear on them all,

out all the country round about. 18 And John’s disciples told him of all these things. 19 And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying, “Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?” 20 And when the men were come to him, they said,

“John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?” 21 (And in that

same hour he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits, and to many that were blind he gave sight.) 22 And answering he said to them, “Go, and relate to John

what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again,

to the poor the gospel is preached; 23 and blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.” 24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: “What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 25 But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold: they that are in costly apparel and Zve delicately are in the houses of kings. 26 But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 27'This is he of whom it is written: 'Behold: I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.’ 28 For I say to you: amongst those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he

that is the lesser in che kingdom of God is greater than he." ?9 And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God

generation, and to what are they like? 32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace and speaking one to another and saying, “We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned, and you have not wept.’ 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He hath a devil.’ 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold: a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.’ 35 And wisdom is justified by all her children.” 36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee and sat down to meat. 37 And behold: a woman that was in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s

house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 and standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet with tears

she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee.” But he said, “Master, say it.” 41 “A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed five

fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And other some fell upon a rock, and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, be-

cause it had no moisture. 7And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it choked it. 8 And other some fell upon good ground and being sprung up yielded fruit a hundredfold.” Saying these things he cried out, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be, 10 to whom he said, “To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand. 11 Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God, 12 and they by the wayside are they that hear; then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. 13 Now they upon the rock are they who when they hear receive the word with joy, and these have no roots, for they believe for a while and in time of temptation they fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard and going their way are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and yield no fruit. 15 But that on the good ground are they who in a good and

“Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.” 21 And he answered and said to them, “My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God and do it.” 22 And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched forth. 22 And when they were sailing he slept.

And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, “Who is this, think you, that he commandeth both the winds and the sea, and they obey him?” 26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee. 27 And when he was come forth to 349

he fell down before him, and crying out with a loud voice he said, “What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most

high God?” I beseech thee, do not torment me!” 29 For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For

many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters, and he broke the bonds and was driven by the devil into the deserts. 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, “What is thy name?” But he said, “Legion,” because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the deep. 32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 33 The devils therefore went out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd ran vio-

lently down a steep place into the lake and were stifled. 34 Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away and told it in the city and in the villages. 35 And they went out to see what was done, and they came to Jesus and found

the man out of whom the devils were departed sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 36 And they also that had seen told them how he had been healed from the legion. 37 And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasenes besought him to depart from them, for they were taken with great fear. And he went up into the ship and returned ack again.

38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to thy house, and tell how great things God hath done to thee.” And he went through the whole city publishing how great things Jesus had done to him. 40 And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned the

multitude received him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 And behold: there came a man whose name was Jairus,

and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went that he was thronged by the

multitudes. 43 And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians and could not be healed by any; 44 she came behind him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately the issue of her blood stopped. 45 And Jesus

said, “Who is it that touched me?”

And when all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng thee and press thee,

and dost thou say, ‘Who touched me?” 46 And Jesus

said, "Somebody

hath

touched

me,

for I

know that virtue is gone out from me.” 47 And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling and fell down before his feet and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was immediately healed. 48 But he said to her, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go thy way in peace.”

ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, “Thy daughter is dead; trouble him not.” 50 But Jesus hearing this word answered the father of the maid, “Fear not; believe only, and she shall be safe.” 51 And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man

to go in with him but Peter and James and John and the father and mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept and mourned for her. But he said, “Weep not; the maid is not dead but sleepeth.” 53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he taking her by the hand cried out, saying, “Maid, arise.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she rose

7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all that was done by him, and he was in a doubt because it was said 8 by some that John was risen from the dead, but by other some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets was risen again. 9 And Herod said, “John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.

10 And the apostles when they were returned told him all they had done. And he took them and went aside into a desert place apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida, 11 which when

the people knew, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing. 12 Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him, “Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about they may lodge and get victuals, for we are here in a desert place.” 13 But he said to them, “Give you them to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two

fishes — unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude." i4 Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down by fifties in a company" 15 And they did so and made them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes he looked up to heaven and blessed them; and he broke and 357

do the people say that I am?” 19 But they answered and said, “John the Baptist; but some say Elijah, and others say that one of the former proph-

ets is risen again.” 20 And he said to them, "But whom do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”

21 But he strictly charging them commanded they should tell this to no man, 22 saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes and be killed and the rise again the third day.” 23 And he said to all, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, for he that

shall lose his life for my sake shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world, and lose himself and cast away himself? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when he shall come in his glory and that of his Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there are some standing here that shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.” 28 And it came to pass about eight days after these words that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a

they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep, and waking they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus, “Master, it is good for

us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles: one for thee and one for Moses and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said. 34 And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they were afraid when they entered into the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son; hear him.” 36 And whilst the

voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen. 37 And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude. 33 And behold: a man among the crowd cried out, saying,

“Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one. 39 And lo: a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him so that

he foameth; and bruising him he hardly departeth from him. 40 And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.” 41 And Jesus answering said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? 361

44 And all were astonished at the mighty power of God, but while they all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples, “Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But they understood not this word, and it was hid from them so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word. 46 And there entered a thought into them which of them should be greater. 47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him 48 and said to them, “Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me, and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent

51 And it came to pass, when the days that he should be received up were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers before his face, and going they entered into a city ofthe Samaritans to prepare for him. 53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said, “Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come

23 Et conversus ad discipulos suos dixit, “Beati oculi qui vident quae videtis. 24 Dico enim vobis quod multi prophetae et reges voluerunt videre quae vos videtis et non viderunt et audire quae auditis et non audierunt." 25 Et ecce: quidam legis peritus surrexit, temptans illum

18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven. 19 Behold: I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the power of the

enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.”

21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said, “I give thanks to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and

earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so

it hath seemed good in thy sight. 22 All things are delivered to me by my Father, and.no one knoweth who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son and to whom

the Son will reveal him.” 23 And turning to his disciples he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. 24 For I say to you that

many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see and have not seen them and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.”

25 And behold: a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him and saying, “Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?” 26 But he said to him, “What is written in the law? How

readest thou?” 27 He answering said, “Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God,

with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself.” 28 And he said to him, “Thou hast answered right; this do,

and thou shalt live.” 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And

30 And Jesus answering said, “A certain man went down from Jerusalem

to Jericho and fell among robbers, who also

stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead. 31 And it chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him he passed by. 32 In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. 33 But a certain Samaritan being on his journey came near him, and seeing him was moved with compassion. 34 And going up to him bound up his wounds, pour-

ing in oil and wine, and setting him upon his own beast brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said, "Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above I at my return will repay thee.’ 36 Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?” 37 But he said, “He that shewed mercy to him.” And Jesus

said to him, “Go, and do thou in like manner.”

38 Now it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain town, and a certain woman named Martha received

him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet heard his word. 40 But Martha was busy about much serving, and she stood and said, “Lord,

hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore that she help me.” 41 And the Lord answering said to her, “Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

And it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him,

“Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 3 Give us this day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” 5 And he said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend

journey to me and I have not what to set before him,’ 7 and he from within should answer and say, "Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I can-

And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke, and the multitudes were in admiration at it. 15 But some of them said, “He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.” 16 And others, tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, seeing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall. 18 And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils: 19 now if I

cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 20 But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 “When a strong man, armed, keepeth his court, those things which he possesseth are in peace. 22 But if a stron-

Amen I say to you that he will gitd himself and make them sit down to meat and passing will minister to them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch or if he shall come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come,

he would surely watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. 40 Be you then also ready, for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.”

planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the dresser of the vineyard, ‘Behold: for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down therefore; why cumbereth it the ground?’ 8 But he answering saéd to him, “Lord, let it

alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it, 9 and if happily it bear fruit; but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.” 10 And he was teaching in their synagogue on the sabbath. 11 And behold: there was a woman who had a spirit of infir-

In them therefore come, and be healed, and not on the sabbath day."

15 And the Lord answering him said, “Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you on the sabbath day loose his ox or his

ass from the manger and lead them to water? 16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom

Satan hath bound,

lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" 17 And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed, and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him. 18 He said therefore, “To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed which a man took and cast into his garden,

and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.” 20 And again he said, “Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?

21 It is like to leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

22 And he went through the cities and towns teaching and making his journey to Jerusalem. ?3 And a certain man said to him, “Lord, are they few that are saved?”

But he taking him healed him and sent him away. 5 And answering them he said, “Which of you shall have an ass or an ox

fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out on the sabbath day?” 6 And they could not answer him to these things.

7 And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them, 8 “When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the highest place, lest perhaps one more honourable than

Chapter 19 Zacchaeus entertains Christ. The parable of the pounds. Christ rides upon an ass and weeps over Jerusalem.

And entering in he walked through Jericho. 2 And behold: there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus, who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before and climbed up into a syca-

more tree that he might see him, for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus was come to the place, he looked up and saw him and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come

down, for this day I must abide in thy house.” 6 And he made haste and came down and received him with joy. 7 And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying that he was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 But Zac-

chaeus standing said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.”

into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 And calling his ten servants he delivered them ten pounds and said to them, “Trade till I come.’ 14 But his citizens hated him, and they sent an embassage after him, saying, “We will not have this man to reign over us.’ 15 And it came to pass that he returned, having received the kingdom, and he commanded his servants to be called to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 And the first came, saying, “Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, thou good servant; because thou hast been faith-

ful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.’ 19 And he said to him, ‘Be thou also over five cities.’ 20 And another came, saying, “Lord, behold: here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin; 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man. Thou takest up what

thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow’ 22 He saith to him, ‘Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was

35 And they brought him to Jesus, and casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went

3 And Jesus answering said to them, “I will also ask you one thing. Answer me: 4the baptism of John, was it from

heaven or of men?” 5 But they thought within themselves, saying, “If we shall say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 6 But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” 7 And they answered that they knew not whence it was. 8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.” 9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: “A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and he was abroad for a long time. 10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But they beat him and sent him away empty. 11 And again he sent another servant, and they beat him also and treating him reproachfully sent 433

wounded him also and cast him out. 13 Then the lord of the vineyard said, "What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be when they see him, they will reverence him.’ 14 But

when the husbandmen saw him, they thought within themselves, saying, "I'his is the heir; let us kill him, that the in-

heritance may be ours.' 15 So casting him out of the vineyard they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others." And when they heard this, they said to him, “God for-

bid." 17 But he looking on them said, “What is this then that is written: "The stone which the builders rejected, the same

is become the head of the corner?' 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be bruised, and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." 19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour, but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them. 20 And being upon the watch they sent spies who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor. 21 And they asked him, saying, "Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and thou hast no respect

of person but teachest the way of God in truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?"

things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God's." 26 And they could not reprehend his word before the

people, and wondering at his answer they held their peace. 27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who

deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him, 28 saying, “Master, Moses wrote unto us, if any man’s brother die having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed to his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brethren, and the first took a wife and died without children. 30 And the next took her to

wife, and he also died childless. 31 And the third took her; and in like manner all the seven, and they left no children and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 In the resur-

rection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? For a// the seven had her to wife.” 34 And Jesus said to them, “The children of this world

marry and are given in marriage, 35 but they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead sha/l neither be married nor take wives, 36 neither

can they die any more, for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead rise again Moses also shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord “The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.' 38 For he is not

the God of che dead but of the living, for all live to him." 39 And some of the scribes answering said to him, “Master, thou hast said well." 40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions. 41 But he said to them, *How say they that Christ 1s the Son of David, 42and David himself saith in the book of 437

Chapter 22 The treason of Judas. The last supper. The first part of the history of the passion.

N ow the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Pasch, was at hand. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put Jesus to death, but they feared the people. 3And Satan entered into Judas who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve. 4 And he went and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he

might betray him to them. 5 And they were glad and covenanted to give him money. 6 And he promised, and he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude. 7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the Pasch should be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go, and prepare us the Pasch, that we may eat.” 9 But they said, “Where wilt thou that we prepare?”

10 And he said to them, “Behold: as you go into the city there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And you

33 And he said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death.” 34 And he said, “I say to thee, Peter: the cock shall not crow this day till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me.” 35 And he said to them, “When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want anything?” But they said, “Nothing.” 36 Then said he to them, “But now he that hath a purse,

disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. 46 And he said to them, “Why sleep you? Arise; pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

47 As he was yet speaking, behold: a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 And Jesus said to him,

“Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?” 49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answering said, “Suffer ye thus far.” And when he had touched his ear, he healed him. 52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him, “Are ye come out as it were

against a thief, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me, but this is your hour and the power of darkness.” 54 Then they laid hold on him and led him to the high priest’s house, but Peter followed afar off.

27 And there followed him a great multitude of people and of women who bewailed and lamented him. 28 But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not

‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck.’ 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall upon us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ 31 For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?” 32 And there were also two other malefactors led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place

which is called Calvary, they crucified him there and the robbers, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not

what they do.” But they divided his garments and cast lots. 35 And the people stood bebolding, and the rulers with them derided him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he be Christ, the elect of God.” 36 And the soldiers also mocked

D. on the first day of the week, very early in the morning they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, ? and they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre. 3 And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold: two men stood by them in shining apparel. 5 And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said to them, “Why seek you the living among the dead? 6 He is not here but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you when he was in Galilee, 7 saying, "The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.’” 8 And they remembered his words. 9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them that told these things to the

Emmaus. 14 Et ipsi loquebantur ad invicem de his omnibus quae acciderant. 15 Et factum est dum fabularentur et secum quaererent, et ipse lesus adpropinquans ibat cum illis. 16 Oculi autem illorum tenebantur, ne eum agnoscerent.

17 Et ait ad illos, "Qui sunt hii sermones quos confertis ad invicem ambulantes et estis tristes?" 18 Et respondens unus cui nomen Cleopas dixit ei, “Tu solus peregrinus es in Hierusalem et non cognovisti quae facta

sunt in illa his diebus?" 19 Quibus ille dixit, “Quae?” Et dixerunt, “De Iesu Nazareno, qui fuit vir, propheta, potens in opere et sermone coram Deo et omni populo, 20 et

apostles. 11 And these words seemed to them as id/e tales, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rising up ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And behold: two of them went the same day to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with one another, Jesus himself also drew near

and went with them. 16 But their eyes were held, that they should not know him. 17 And he said to them, “What are

these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad?” 18 And the one of them whose name was Cleopas answering said to him, “Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?” 19 And he said to them, “What things?” And they said, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him. 2! But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel; and now besides all this today is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light were at the sepulchre, 23 and not finding his body came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. 24 And some of our people went to the sepulchre and found it so as the women dad said, but him they found not.” 465

25 Then he said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart

to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so to

enter into his glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him. 28 And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going, and he made as though he would go farther. 29 But they constrained him, saying, “Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent.” And he went in with them. 30 And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to the other, “Was not our heart burning within us whilst he was speaking in the way and opened to us the scriptures?” 33 And they rose up the same hour and went back to Jerusalem, and they found the eleven

gathered together and those that were with them, 34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.” 35 And they told what things were done in the way and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread. 36 Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them, “Peace be to

you. It is I; fear not.” 37 But they being troubled and affrighted supposed that they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.” 40 And when he had said this, he shewed

them his hands and feet. 4! But while they yet believed not 467

spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms concerning me.” 45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. 46 And he said to them, “Thus it is written,

and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day 4? and that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 And I send the promise of my Father upon you,

but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.” 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, that he departed from them and was carried up to heaven. 52 And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.

Chapter 1 The divinity and incarnation of Christ. John bears witness of him. He begins to call his disciples.

I. the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the begin-

ning with God. 3 All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but was to bear witness of the light. 9 Tbat was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. 10 He was in the world, and the

world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name, 13 who are

born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God.

JOHN

14 Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis (et vidimus gloriam eius, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre), plenum gratiae et veritatis. 15 Iohannes testimonium perhibet de ipso et clamat, dicens, ^Hic erat quem dixi, 'Qui post me venturus est ante me factus est, quia prior me erat." 16 Et

de plenitudine eius nos omnes accepimus, et gratiam pro gratia. 17 Quia lex per Mosen data est; gratia et veritas per lesum Christum facta est. 18 Deum nemo vidit umquam; unigenitus Filius, qui est in sinu Patris, ipse enarravit. 19 Et hoc est testimonium Iohannis quando miserunt Iu-

daei ab Hierosolymis sacerdotes et Levitas ad eum ut interrogarent eum, “Iu quis es?"

20 Et confessus est et non negavit; et confessus est quia "Non sum ego Christus."

21 Et interrogaverunt eum, "Quid ergo? Helias es tu?" Et dixit, “Non sum." "Propheta es tu?"

Et respondit, “Non.” ?2 Dixerunt ergo ei, "Quis es, ut responsum demus his qui miserunt nos? Quid dicis de te ipso?"

14 And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying, “This was he of whom I spoke, ‘He that shall come after me is preferred before me, because he was before me.’” 16 And of his fulness we all have received,

and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent from Jerusalem

priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who

art thou?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny; and he confessed,

“T am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Art thou Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.”

“Art thou the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

22 Then they said an answer to them self?” 23 He said, “I am ness, ‘Make straight Isaiah.” 24 And they that they asked him and

to him, “Who art thou, that we may give that sent us? What sayest thou of thythe voice of one crying out in the wilderthe way of the Lord,’ as said the prophet were sent were of the Pharisees, 25 and said to him, “Why then dost thou bap-

“Ecce: agnus Dei. Ecce: qui tollit peccatum mundi. 30 Hic est de quo dixi, ‘Post me venit vir qui ante me factus est, quia prior me erat.’ 31 Et ego nesciebam eum, sed ut manifestetur

ille mihi dixit, 'Super quem videris Spiritum descendentem et manentem super eum, hic est qui baptizat in Spiritu

Sancto.' 34 Et ego vidi, et testimonium perhibui quia hic est Filius Dei." 35 Altera die iterum stabat Iohannes et ex discipulis eius duo. 36 Et respiciens Iesum ambulantem, dicit, ^Ecce: agnus Dei.” 37 Et audierunt eum duo discipuli loquentem, et secuti sunt lesum.

ferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.” 28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the

Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith, “Behold: the Lamb of God. Behold: he who taketh

away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me cometh a man who is preferred before me, because he was before me.’ 31 And I knew him not, but that he may be made

manifest in Israel; therefore am I come baptizing with water." 33 And John gave testimony, saying, *I saw the Spirit coming down as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him. 33 And I knew him not, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.' 34 And I saw, and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God." 35 Again the following day John stood and two of his disciples. 36 And looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, “Behold: the lamb of God." 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus, turning and seeing them following him, saith

to them, ^What seek you?" They said to him, “Rabbi,” (which is to say, being interpreted, “Master”) “where dwellest thou?" 39 He saith to them, “Come, and see.” They came and saw

where he abode, and they stayed with him that day; now it was about the tenth hour. 40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of

43 In crastinum voluit exire in Galilaeam, et invenit Phi-

46 Et dixit ei Nathanahel, “A Nazareth potest aliquid boni esse?” Dicit ei Philippus, “Veni, et vide.” 47 Vidit Iesus Nathanahel venientem ad se, et dicit de eo,

“Ecce: vere Israhelita in quo dolus non est.” 48 Dicit ei Nathanahel, “Unde me nosti?”

Respondit Iesus et dixit ei, "Priusquam te Philippus vocaret, cum esses sub ficu, vidi te.” 49 Respondit ei Nathanahel et ait, *Rabbi, tu es Filius Dei;

tu es rex Israhel." 50 Respondit Iesus et dixit ei, Quia dixi tibi, "Vidi te sub ficu,’ credis; maius his videbis." 51 Et dicit ei, “Amen, amen

(which is inter-

preted, “Peter”).

43 On the following day he would go and he findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to 44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city ter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael and saith

forth into Galilee, him, “Follow me.” of Andrew and Peto him, “We have

found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did

write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth.” 46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can any thing of good come from Nazareth?” Philip saith to him, “Come, and see.”

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and he saith of him,

“Behold:

an Israelite indeed

in whom

there is no

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” 49 Nathanael answered him and said, “Rabbi, thou art the

Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said unto

thee, ‘I saw thee under the fig tree,’ thou believest; greater things than these shalt thou see.” 51 And he saith to him, “Amen, amen I say to you: you shall see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.” 479

the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Gali-

invited and his disciples to the marriage. 3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus saith to her, “Woman, what is to me and to

thee? My hour is not yet come.” 5 His mother saith to the waiters, “Whatsoever he shall

say to you do ye.” 6 Now there were set there six water pots

of stone according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.

7 Jesus saith to them, "Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And Jesus saith to them, “Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast.” And they carried it. 9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine and knew not whence it was (but the waiters knew who had drawn the water), the chief steward calleth the bride-

groom ! and saith to him, “Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which

is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.” 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples, and they remained there not many days. 13 And the Pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went

up to Jerusalem. 14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 15 And when he had made as it were a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. 16 And he said to them that sold doves, “Take these things hence, and make not the house of

my Father a house of traffic.” 17 And his disciples remembered that it was written: “The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.” 18 Then the Jews answered and said to him, “What sign dost thou shew us, seeing thou dost these things?” 19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple,

and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “Six and forty years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?” 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus bad said. 23 Now when he was at Jerusalem at the Pasch upon the

festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. 24 But Jesus did not trust himself to them, be-

cause he knew all men 25 and because he needed not that any should give testimony of man, for he knew what was in man.

Ass

there was aman ofthe Pharisees named Nicodemus,

a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for no man can do these miracles which thou

thee: unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus saith to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's

womb and be born again?” 5 Jesus answered, "Amen, amen I say to thee: except a man be born again of water and the Ho/y Ghost, he cannot enter

into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Wonder not that I said to thee, “You must be born again.’ 8 The Spirit breatheth where he will, and thou hearest his voice, but thou

knowest not whence he cometh nor whither he goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can these

things be done?"

JOHN 10 Respondit Jesus et dixit ei, “Tu es magister in Israhel et haec ignoras? 11Amen, amen dico tibi quia quod scimus

loquimur, et quod vidimus testamur, et testimonium nostrum non accipitis. 12 Si terrena dixi vobis et non creditis, quomodo

si dixero vobis

caelestia credetis?

13 Et nemo

ascendit in caelum nisi qui descendit de caelo, Filius hominis, qui est in caelo. 14 Et sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in

deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis, 1? ut omnis qui credit in ipsum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam. 16 "Sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret, ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam. 17 Non enim misit Deus Filium suum

in mundum ut iudicet mundum sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum. 18 Qui credit in eum non iudicatur, qui autem non credit iam iudicatus est, quia non credidit in nomine unige-

niti Filii Dei. 19 Hoc est autem iudicium, quia lux venit in mundum et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem, erant enim eorum mala opera. 20 Omnis enim qui male

agit odit lucem et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera eius. 21 Qui autem facit veritatem venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur eius opera, quia in Deo sunt facta."

22 Post haec venit lesus et discipuli eius in Iudaeam terram, et illic demorabatur cum eis et baptizabat. 23 Erat autem et Iohannes baptizans in Aenon iuxta Salim, quia aquae multae erant illic, et adveniebant et baptizabantur. 24 Non-

10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Art thou a master in

Israel and knowest not these things? 11 Amen, amen I say to thee: we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony. 12 If I have spoken to you earthly things and you believe not, how will you believe if I shall speak to you heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man

be lifted up, 15 that whosoever believeth in him may not perish but may have life everlasting. 16 “For God so loved the world as to give his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him may not perish but may have life everlasting. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world but that the world may be saved

by him. 18 He that believeth in him is not judged, but he that doth not believe is already judged, because he Pe/zevetb not in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. 1? And this is the judgment, because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil. 20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light and

cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. 21 But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God."

25 And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification, 26 and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he that was with thee be-

yond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold: he baptizeth, and all men come to him.” 27 John answered and said, “A man cannot receive any thing except it be given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves do bear me witness that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but that

I am sent before him. 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. 30 He must increase,

but I must decrease.” 31 He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh.

He that cometh from heaven is above all. 32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiv-

eth his testimony. 33 He that hath set to his seal that God hath sent speaketh the words the Spirit by measure. 35 The hath given all things into his

the Son hath life everlasting, but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jesus therefore being wearied

with his journey sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour. ? There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, “Give me

to drink." 8(For his disciples

were gone into the city to buy food.) 9Then that Samaritan woman saith to him, “How dost

thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman?” (For the Jews do not communicate with the Sa-

maritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If thou didst know the gift of God and who it is that saith to thee, ‘Give me to

drink,’ thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” 11The

hast thou living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself and his children and his cattle?” 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whosoever drinketh

of this water shall thirst again, but he that shall drink of the water that I shall give him shall not thirst for ever. 14 But the

water that I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” 15 The woman saith to him, “Sir, give me this water, that I

may not thirst nor come hither to draw.”

16 Jesus saith to her, “Go; call thy husband, and come hither.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Thou hast said well, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now

hast is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.” 19 The woman saith to him, “Sir, I perceive that thou art a

prophet. 20 Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.” 21 Jesus saith to her, “Woman, believe me that the hour cometh when you shall neither on this mountain nor in Jeru-

salem adore the Father. 22 You adore that which you know not; we adore that which we know, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh and now is when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him. 24 God is a spirit, and

they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth.” 25 The woman

saith to him, “I know that the Messiah

he will tell us all things.” 493

“What seekest thou?” or “Why talkest thou with her?” 28 The woman therefore left her water pot and went her way into the city and saith to the men there, 29 "Come, and see a man who hath told me all things that ever I did. Is not

32 But he said to them, “I have meat to eat which you know not of.” 33 The disciples therefore said one to another, “Hath any man brought him to eat?” 34 Jesus saith to them, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh’? Behold: I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries, for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life ever-

lasting, that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 For in this is that saying true, that it is one man that soweth and it is another that reapeth. 38 I have

sent you to reap that in which you did not labour; others

have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.”

39 Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him for the word of the woman giving testimony: “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there, and he abode there two days. 41 And many more believed in him because of 495

his own word. 42 And they said to the woman, “We now believe not for thy saying, for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the saviour of the world.”

43 Now after two days he departed thence and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 4 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day, for they also went to the festival day. 46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where

he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of

death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.” 49 The ruler saith to him, “Lord, come down before that my son die.”

50 Jesus saith to him, “Go thy way; thy son liveth.” The man believed the word which Jesus said to him and went his

way. 51 And as he was going down, his servants met him, and

they brought word, saying that his son lived. 52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, “Thy son liveth,” and himself believed and his whole house. 5 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

Chapter 5 Christ heals the impotent man. His discourse upon this occasion.

A ter these things was a festival day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem a pond called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, hav-

ing five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 And an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pond, and the water was moved. And he that went

down made there years

first into the pond after the motion of the water was whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. 5 And was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty under his infirmity. 6 Him when Jesus had seen lying

and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him,

“Wilt thou be made whole?” 7 The infirm man answered him, “Sir, I have no man when

the water is troubled to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me.” 8 Jesus saith to him, “Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.”

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. 10 The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, “It is the sabbath; it is not lawful

for thee to take up thy bed.”

vit a turba constituta in loco. 14 Postea invenit eum lesus in templo et dixit illi, “Ecce: sanus factus es; iam noli peccare, ne deterius tibi aliquid contingat." 15 Abiit ille homo et nuntiavit Iudaeis quia lesus esset qui fecit eum

ror." 18 Propterea ergo magis quaerebant eum Iudaei interficere, quia non solum solvebat sabbatum sed et Patrem suum dicebat Deum, aequalem se faciens Deo. Respondit itaque Iesus et dixit eis, 19 "Amen, amen dico vobis: non potest Filius a se facere quicquam nisi quod viderit Patrem facientem, quaecumque enim ille fecerit, haec et

Filius similiter facit. 20 Pater enim diligit Filium et omnia demonstrat ei quae ipse facit, et maiora his demonstrabit ei opera, ut vos miremini. 21 Sicut enim Pater suscitat mortuos

et vivificat, sic et Filius quos vult vivificat. 22 Neque enim Pater iudicat quemquam sed iudicium omne dedit Filio, 23 ut omnes honorificent Filium sicut honorificant Patrem. Qui non honorificat Filium non honorificat Patrem qui misit il-

11 He answered them, “He that made me whole, he said

to me, “Jake up thy bed, and walk.”

12/They asked him therefore, “Who is that man that said

to thee, “Take up thy bed, and walk?” 13 But he that was healed knew not who it was, for Jesus went aside from the

multitude that was standing in the place. 14 Afterwards Jesus findeth him in the temple and saith to him, “Behold: thou art made whole; sin no more, lest some

worse thing happen to thee.” 15 The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus that bad made him whole. 16 Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did

these things on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them: “My Father worketh until now, and I work.” 18 Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. Then Jesus answered and said to them, 19 “Amen, amen I

say unto you: the Son cannot do any thing of himself but what he seeth the Father do, for what things soever he doth,

these the Son also doth in like manner. 20 For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which himself doth, and greater works than these will he shew him, that

you may wonder. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. 22 For neither doth the Father judge any man but hath committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all men may honour the Son as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son honoureth

There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also. For he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Chapter 6 Christ feeds five thousand with five loaves. He walks upon the sea and discourses of the bread of life.

A seer these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 Now the Pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. 5 When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip, “Whence shall

we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 And this he said to try him, for he himself knew what he would do.

Discubuerunt ergo viri, numero quasi quinque milia. 11 Accepit ergo panes lesus, et cum gratias egisset, distribuit discumbentibus; similiter et

ex piscibus, quantum volebant. 12 Ut autem impleti sunt, dixit discipulis suis, “Colligite quae superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant." 13 Collegerunt ergo et impleverunt duodecim cofinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus hordiaciis quae superfuerunt his qui manducaverant. 14 Illi ergo homines, cum vidissent quod lesus fecerat signum, dicebant quia ^Hic est vere propheta qui venturus est in mundum." 15 Iesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi es-

sent ut raperent eum et facerent eum regem, fugit iterum in montem ipse solus. 16 Ut autern sero factum est, descenderunt discipuli eius ad mare. 17 Et cum ascendissent navem, venerunt trans mare in Capharnaum. Et tenebrae iam factae erant, et non venerat ad eos lesus. 18 Mare autem vento magno flante exsurgebat. 19 Cum remigassent ergo quasi stadia viginti quinque aut triginta, vident lesum ambulantem super mare et proximum navi fieri, et timuerunt. 20 Ille autem dicit eis, “Ego sum; nolite timere." 21 Voluerunt ergo accipere eum in na-

bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a bitte" * One of bis disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Petex, saith to him, ^ "There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these among so many?" 4€ Then Jesus said, “Make the men sit down.” Now there

was much grass in the place. The men thercfore sat down, in nussber about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves,

and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; in like manner also of the fishes, as much as

they would. iz And when they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost." 15 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten. i4 Then those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said, “This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world” 5 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come to take him by force and make him king, he fled again into the mountain himself alone. % And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 And when they had entered into a ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them. 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 9 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid. ^ But he saith to them, “It is I; be not afraid." 2: They were willing therefore to take him into the ship, and

the ship was at the land to which they were going. presently 507

dixerunt ei, ^Rabbi, quando huc venisti?" 26 Respondit eis Iesus et dixit, "Amen, amen dico vobis:

quaeritis me non quia vidistis signa sed quia manducastis ex panibus et saturati estis. 27 Operamini non cibum qui perit sed qui permanet in vitam aeternam, quem Filius hominis vobis dabit. Hunc enim Pater signavit, Deus." 28 Dixerunt ergo ad eum, “Quid faciemus ut operemur opera Dei?" 29 Respondit lesus et dixit eis, “Hoc est opus Dei, ut cre-

datis in eum quem misit ille."

30 Dixerunt ergo ei, "Quod ergo tu facis signum, ut videamus et credamus tibi? Quid operaris? 31 Patres nostri manna manducaverunt in deserto, sicut scriptum est: ‘Panem de caelo dedit eis manducare." 32 Dixit ergo eis lesus, "Amen, amen dico vobis: non Mo-

22 The next day the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other ship there but

one and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples but that his disciples were gone away alone. 23 But other ships came in from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there nor his

disciples, they took shipping and came to Capernaum seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when camest thou

hither?” 26 Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen I say to

you: you seek me not because you have seen miracles but because you did eat of the loaves and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth but for that which endureth

unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.”

28 They said therefore unto him, “What shall we do that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of

God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.” 30 They said therefore to him, “What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it

is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Then Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen I say to you: Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world.”

JOHN

34 Dixerunt ergo ad eum, “Domine, semper da nobis panem hunc.” 35 Dixit autem eis Iesus, “Ego sum panis vitae; qui venit ad me non esuriet, et qui credit in me non sitiet umquam.

36 Sed dixi vobis quia et vidistis me et non creditis. 37 Omne quod dat mihi Pater ad me veniet, et eum qui venit ad me non eiciam foras, 38 quia descendi de caelo non ut faciam voluntatem meam sed voluntatem eius qui misit me. 39 Haec est autem voluntas eius qui misit me Patris, ut omne quod

dedit mihi non perdam ex eo sed resuscitem illud in novissimo die. 40 Haec est autem voluntas Patris mei qui misit me, ut omnis qui videt Filium et credit in eum habeat vitam aeternam, et resuscitabo ego eum in novissimo die.”

41 Murmurabant ergo Iudaei de illo, quia dixisset, “Ego sum panis qui de caelo descendi.” 42 Et dicebant, “Nonne hic est lesus, filius Ioseph, cuius nos novimus patrem et ma-

trem? Quomodo ergo dicit hic quia ‘De caelo descendi?" 43 Respondit ergo lesus et dixit eis, "Nolite murmurare in invicem. 44 Nemo potest venire ad me, nisi Pater, qui misit me, traxerit eum, et ego resuscitabo eum in novissimo die.

45 Est scriptum in prophetis: ‘Et erunt omnes docibiles Dei.’ Omnis qui audivit a Patre et didicit venit ad me. 46 Non quia Patrem vidit quisquam, nisi is qui est a Deo, hic vidit Pa-

shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you that you also have seen me and do not believe. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will not cast out, 38 because I came down from heaven not to do my own

will but the will of him that sent me. 39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he hath given me

I should lose nothing but should raise it up again in the last day. 40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.” 41 The Jews then murmured at him, because

he had said,

“I am the “ving bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose

father and mother we know? How then saith he, ‘I came

down from heaven?” 48 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except

the Father, who hath sent me, draw him, and I will raise him

up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught of God.' Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, but he who is of God, he hath seen the

Father. 47 Amen, amen I say unto you: he that believeth in me hath everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that if any man eat of it, he may not die. 51 I am the living bread which came 511

53 Litigabant ergo ludaei ad invicem, dicentes, “Quomodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducandum?” 54 Dixit ergo eis lesus, “Amen, amen dico vobis: nisi manducaveritis carnem Filii hominis et biberitis eius sanguinem, non habebitis vitam in vobis. 55 Qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem habet vitam aeternam, et ego

resuscitabo eum in novissimo die. 56 Caro enim mea vere est cibus, et sanguis meus vere est potus. 57 Qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem in me manet, et ego in illo. 58 Sicut misit me vivens Pater et ego vivo propter Patrem, et qui manducat me; et ipse vivet propter me. 59 Hic est panis

qui de caelo descendit. Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna et mortui sunt, qui manducat hunc panem vivet in aeternum." 60 Haec dixit in synagoga docens in Capharnaum.

Verba quae ego locutus sum vobis spiritus et vita sunt.

except you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life, and I will raise him up in the last day. 56 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 57 He that eateth my flesh and

drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. 58 As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father, so he that eateth me; the same also shall live by me. 59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead, he that eateth this bread shall live for

ever.” 60 These things he said teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 61 Many therefore of his disciples hearing it said, “This saying is hard, and who can hear it?” 62 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples mur-

mured at this, said to them, “Doth this scandalize you? 63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 64 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 65 But there are some of you that believe not.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. 66 And he said, “Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me unless it be given him by my Father.” 67 After this many of his

Jesus said to the twelve, “Will you also go away?”

69 And Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. 70 And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.” 71 Jesus answered them, “Have not I chosen you twelve,

and one of you is a devil?” 72 Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.

Chapter 7 Christ goes up to the feast of the tabernacles. He teaches in the temple.

A

fect these things Jesus walked zn Galilee, for he would

not walk zn Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 And his brethren said to him, “Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. 4 For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, mani-

fest thyself to the world.” 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

said to them, “My time is not yet come; but

your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it that the works thereof are evil. 8Go you up to this festival day, ut I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not fully

come.” 9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. 10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly but as it were in secret. 11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said, “He is a good man,” and others said, “No, but he seduceth the people.” 13 Yet no

man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. 14 Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews wondered, saying,

“How doth this man know letters, having never learned?” 16 Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not mine but his that sent me. !7 If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether

I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory, but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him. 19 Did not

Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? 20 Why seek you to kill me?” The multitude answered and said, “Thou hast a devil!

Who seeketh to kill thee?” 21 Jesus answered and said to them, “One work I have

done, and you all wonder; 22 therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses but of the fathers),

25 Dicebant ergo quidam ex Hierosolymis, “Nonne hic est quem quaerunt interficere? 26 Et ecce: palam loquitur, et

nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus? 27 Sed hunc scimus, unde sit; Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.”

quia ab ipso sum et ipse me misit.” 30 Quaerebant ergo eum adprehendere, et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venerat hora eius. 31 De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum et dicebant, “Christus cum

venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quae hic facit?” 32 Audierunt Pharisaei turbam murmurantem de illo haec, et miserunt principes et Pharisaei ministros ut adprehenderent eum. 33 Dixit ergo eis lesus, "Adhuc modicum tempus

vobiscum sum, et vado ad eum qui misit me. 34 Quaeretis me et non invenietis, et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire." 35 Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad semet ipsos, "Quo hic iturus est quia non inveniemus eum?

and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man. 23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.” ?5'Then some of them of Jerusalem said, “Is not this he

whom they seek to kill? 26 And behold: he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? 27 But we know this man, whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth

whence he is.” 25 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and you know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom you know not. 29 I know him, because I am from him and he

hath sent me.” 30 They sought therefore to apprehend him, éut no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31 But of the people many believed in him and said, “When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than these which

this man doth?” 32 The

Pharisees

heard

the

people

murmuring

these

things concerning him, and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him. 33 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me. 34 You shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I am, thither you cannot come.”

35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Whither will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles? 36 What is this saying that he hath said: ‘You shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I am you cannot come?” 519

37 In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Iesus et clamabat, dicens, “Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat.

Quidam autem dicebant, "Numquid a Galilaea Christus venit? 42 Nonne scriptura dicit quia ex semine David et de Bethleem, castello ubi erat David, venit Christus?" 43 Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum. 44 Qui-

37 And on the last and great day of the festivity Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If any man thirst, let him come to me and

drink. 38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: ‘Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him, for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was

not yet glorified. 40 Of that multitude, therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said, “This is the prophet indeed.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Doth

the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Doth not the scripture say that Christ cometh of the seed of David and out of Bethlehem, the town where David was?” 43 So there arose a dis-

sension among the people because of him. 44 And some of them would have apprehended him, but no man laid hands on him. 45 The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and

the Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?" 46 The ministers answered, “Never did man speak like this man."

47 Then the Pharisees answered them: “Are you also seduced? 48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude that knoweth not the

law are accursed.” 50 Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night,

who was one of them), 51 “Doth our law judge any man, un-

less it first hear him and know what he doth?”

Chapter 8 The woman taken in adultery. Christ justifies his doctrine.

Bess went to Mount Olivet. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees bring to biz a woman taken in adultery, and they set her in the midst 4 and said to him, “Master, this

woman was even now taken in adultery. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?" 6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus stooping down wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." 8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground. 9 But they hearing this went out one by one, beginning at the e/dest; and Jesus alone remained,

plius iam noli peccare." 12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus, dicens, “Ego sum lux mundi; qui sequitur me non ambulat in tenebris sed habebit lucem vitae."

13 Dixerunt ergo ei Pharisaei, “Tu de te ipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum." 14 Respondit Iesus et dixit eis, "Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de me ipso, verum est testimonium meum, quia scio unde veni et quo vado; vos autem nescitis unde venio aut

quo vado. 15 Vos secundum carnem iudicatis; ego non iudico quemquam. 16 Et si iudico ego, quia solus non sum sed ego et lege vestra scriptum est quia nium verum est. 18 Ego sum

iudicium meum verum est, qui me misit Pater. 17 Et in duorum hominum testimoqui testimonium perhibeo

man condemned thee?” 11 And she said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.” 12 And again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he that followeth me walketh not in darkness

but shall have the light of life.” 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “Thou givest tes-

timony of thyself; thy testimony is not true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I came and whither I go; but you know not whence I come or

whither I go. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge not any man. 16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone but I and the Father that sent me. 17 And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

18] am one that give testimony of myself, and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.” 19 They said therefore to him, “Where is thy Father?”

Jesus answered, “Neither me do you know nor my Father; if you did know me, you would know my Father also.” 20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was

not yet come. 21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go you cannot come.” 22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because

he said, ‘Whither I go you cannot come?” 525

32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos." 33 Responderunt ei, "Semen Abrahae sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam. Quomodo tu dicis, 'Liberi eritis?" 34 Respondit eis Iesus, “Amen, amen dico vobis quia omnis qui facit peccatum servus est peccati. 35 Servus autem non manet in domo in aeternum; filius manet in aeternum.

36 Si ergo filius vos liberaverit, vere liberi eritis. 37 Scio quia filii Abrahae estis, sed quaeritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis. 38 Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum loquor, et vos quae vidistis apud patrem vestrum facitis."

23 And he said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 There-

fore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.” 25 They said therefore to him, “Who art thou?” Jesus said to them, “The beginning, who also speak to you. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me is true; and the things I have heard of him, the same I speak in the world.” 27 Now they did not know that he sad God was his Father. 28 Jesus therefore said to

them, “When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself; but as the Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me, and he hath not left me

alone, for I do always the things that please him.” 30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews that believed him, “If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed, 32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man. How sayest thou, "You

shall be free?" 34 Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever, Put the son abi-

deth for ever. 36 If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. 37 I know that you are the children of Abraham, but you seek to kill me, because my word hath

no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and you do the things that you have seen with your father." 527

39 Responderunt et dixerunt ei, “Pater noster Abraham est.” Dicit eis Iesus, “Si filii Abrahae estis, opera Abrahae facite. 40 Nunc autem quaeritis me interficere, hominem qui

veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo. Hoc Abraham non fecit. 41 Vos facitis opera patris vestri.”

Dixerunt itaque ei, “Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati; unum patrem habemus, Deum." 42 Dixit ergo eis Iesus, “Si Deus pater vester esset, diligeretis utique me, ego enim ex Deo processi et veni. Neque

enim a me ipso veni, sed ille me misit. 43 Quare loquellam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum. 44 Vos ex patre, diabolo, estis, et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. Ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit, quia non est veritas in eo. Cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est et pater eius.

45 Ego autem quia veritatem dico, non creditis mihi. 46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico, quare vos non creditis mihi? 47 Qui est ex Deo verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis."

39 They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus saith to them, “If you be the children of Abraham,

do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not. 41 You do the deeds of your father.” They said then to him, “We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.”

42 But Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, verily you would love me, for I proceeded forth and came from God. For I came not of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. 44 You are of your father, the devil, and the desires of

your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he abode not in the truth, because truth is not in

him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father thereof. 45 But zf I say the truth, you believe me not. 46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear

them not, because you are not of God.” 48 The Jews therefore answered and said to him, “Do not

we say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil?” 49 Jesus answered, “I have not a devil, but I honour my Fa-

ther, and you have dishonoured me. 50 But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 5! Amen, amen I say to you: if any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.” 52 The Jews therefore said, “Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, 529

JOHN ‘Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem

in aeternum.’ 53 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? Et prophetae mortui sunt. Quem te ipsum facis?” 54 Respondit Iesus, “Si ego glorifico me ipsum, gloria mea nihil est. Est Pater meus qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est. 55 Et non cognovistis eum, ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum et sermonem eius servo. 56 Abraham,

pater vester, exultavit ut videret diem meum, et vidit et gavisus est.” 57 Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad eum, "Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?" 58 Dixit eis lesus, “Amen, amen dico vobis: antequam

‘If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.’ 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?

And the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. 55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I should say that I know him not, I should be like to you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word. 66 Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; be saw it and was glad.”

57 The Jews therefore said to him, “Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?”

68 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen I say to you: before Abraham was made, I am.” 59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the

temple.

Chapter 9 He restores to sight the man born blind.

And Jesus passing by saw a man who was blind from his birth. 2And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?” 531

sus." Abiit ergo et lavit, et venit videns. 8 [taque vicini et qui erat, dicebant, "Nonne Alii dicebant quia “Hic similis est eius." Ille vero dicebat quia

10 Dicebant ergo ei, "Quomodo aperti sunt oculi tibi?" 11 Respondit, "Ille homo qui dicitur Iesus lutum fecit et unxit oculos meos et dixit mihi, ‘Vade ad natatoriam Siloae, et lava.' Et abii, et lavi, et vidi." 12 Et dixerunt ei, “Ubi est ille?" Ait, "Nescio."

13 Adducunt eum ad Pharisaeos qui caecus fuerat. 14 Erat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Iesus et aperuit oculos eius. 15 Iterum ergo interrogabant eum Pharisaei quomodo

vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis, “Lutum posuit mihi super oculos, et lavi, et video."

3 Jesus answered, “Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest

in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me whilst it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay on his eyes 7 and said to him, “Go; wash in the pool of Siloam,” which is interpreted, “Sent.” He went his way therefore and washed, and he came seeing.

8 The neighbours therefore and they who had seen him before, that he was a beggar, said, “Is not this he that sat and begged?” Some said, “This is he,” 9 but others sazd, “No, but

he is like him.” But he said, “I am he.”

10 They

said therefore to him, “How were

thy eyes

opened?” 11 He answered, “That man that is called Jesus made clay

and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.’ And I went, I washed and I see.”

12 And they said to him, “Where is he?” He saith, “I know not.”

13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. 14 Now it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them, “He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some

therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is

not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?”

Et scisma erat inter eos. 17 Dicunt ergo caeco iterum, “Tu quid dicis de eo qui aperuit oculos tuos?” Ille autem dixit quia “Propheta est.” 18 Non crediderunt ergo Iudaei de illo quia caecus fuisset et vidisset donec vocaverunt parentes eius qui viderat 19 et interrogaverunt eos, dicentes, “Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia caecus natus est? Quomodo ergo nunc vi-

teretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret. 23 Propterea parentes eius dixerunt quia “Aetatem habet; ipsum interrogate." 24 Vocaverunt ergo rursum hominem qui fuerat caecus et

And there was a division among them. 17 They say therefore to the blind man again, “What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” 18 The Jews then did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight 19 and asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?” 20 His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind, 21 but how he now

seeth we know not, or who hath opened his eyes we know not. Ask himself: he is of age; let him speak for himself.” 22 These things his parents said because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore did his parents say, “He is of age; ask him.” 24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 He said then to them, “If he be a sinner I know not; one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.”

26 They said then to him, “What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?” 27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?”

28 They reviled him therefore and said, "Be thou his

34 Responderunt et dixerunt ei, “In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos?” Et eiecerunt eum foras.

35 Audivit Iesus quia eiecerunt eum foras, et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei, “Tu credis in Filium Dei?”

36 Respondit ille et dixit, “Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum?” 37 Et dixit ei Jesus, “Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum ipse est.” 38 At ille ait, "Credo, Domine.”

Et procidens adoravit

eum. 39 Et dixit ei lesus, "In iudicium ego in hunc mundum veni, ut qui non vident videant et qui vident caeci fiant." 40 Et audierunt quidam ex Pharisaeis qui cum ipso erant, et dixerunt ei, "Numquid et nos caeci sumus?" 41 Dixit eis lesus, "Si caeci essetis, non haberetis peccatum; nunc vero dicitis quia "Videmus.

his will, him he heareth. 32 From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. 33 Unless this man were of God, he could

not do any thing.” 34 They answered and said to him, “Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?” And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they bad cast him out, and when he had found him, he said to him, “Dost thou believe in the Son of

God?” 36 He answered and said, “Who is he, Lord, that I may be-

lieve in him?” 37 And Jesus said to him, “Thou hast both seen him, and it

is he that talketh with thee.” 38 And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And falling down he adored him. 39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they that see not may see and they that see may become blind.” 40 And some of the Pharisees that were with him heard,

and they said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you should not have sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Your sin remaineth."

Ammen. amen I say to you: he that entereth not by the

openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. 4And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5 But a stranger they follow not but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.” 6 This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them. 7 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Amen, amen I say to you: I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before are thieves and robbers, and the sheep heard them not. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and he shall go in and go out and shall find pastures. 10 The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy.

Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?" 22 And it was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem,

and it was winter. 22 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 The Jews therefore came round about him and said to him, “How long dost thou hold our souls in suspense? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I speak to you, and you believe not; the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give

testimony of me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 And I give them eternal life,

hand of my Father. 30 I and the Father are one.” 31 The Jews then took up stones to stone him. 32 Jesus an-

swered them: “Many good works I have shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him: “For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy and because that thou, being a man, maketh thyself God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I

said, “You are gods”’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken and the scripture cannot be bro-

ken, 36 do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, “Thou blasphemest,’ because I said,

' am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that

the Father is in me and I in the Father." 39 They sought therefore to take him, and he escaped out

of their hands. 40 And he went away again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first, and there

he abode. 41 And many resorted to him, and they said, “John indeed did no sign. 42 But all things whatsoever John said of

this man were true.” And many believed in him,

Chapter 11 Christ raises Lazarus to life. The rulers resolve his death.

N, ow there was

a certain man

sick, zamed Lazarus,

of

Bethany, of the town of Mary and Martha, her sister. 2 (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 His sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, be-

hold: he whom thou lovest is sick.” 4 And Jesus hearing it said to them, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her

sister Mary and Lazarus. 6 When he Aad heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. 7 Then after that he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.” 8The

disciples say to him, “Rabbi, the Jews but now

sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him." 11 These things he said; and after that he 52:72 to them, “Lazarus, our friend,

sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep." 12 His disciples therefore said, ^Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well." 13 But Jesus spoke of his death, and they thought

that he spoke of the repose of sleep. 545

14Tunc ergo dixit eis Iesus manifeste, "Lazarus mortuus est. 15 Et gaudeo propter vos, ut credatis, quoniam non eram

ibi. Sed eamus ad eum." 16 Dixit ergo Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, ad condiscipulos, ^Eamus et nos, ut moriamur cum eo." 17 Venit itaque Iesus et invenit eum quattuor dies iam in monumento habentem.

18 (Erat autem Bethania iuxta Hie-

rosolymam, quasi stadiis quindecim.) 19 Multi autem ex Iudaeis venerant ad Martham et Mariam ut consolarentur eas de fratre suo. 20 Martha ergo, ut audivit quia Iesus venerat, occurrit illi; Maria autem domi sedebat. 21 Dixit ergo Martha ad Iesum, “Domine, si fuisses hic, frater meus non fuis-

set mortuus. 22 Sed et nunc scio quia quaecumque poposceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus." 23 Dicit illi Iesus, "Resurget frater tuus." 24 Dicit ei Martha, "Scio quia resurget in resurrectione in

novissima die." 25 Dixit ei Iesus, "Ego sum resurrectio et vita. Qui credit in me, et si mortuus fuerit, vivet; 26 et omnis qui vivit et cre-

dit in me non morietur in aeternum. Credis hoc?" 27 Ait illi, "Utique, Domine, ego credidi quia tu es Christus, Filius Dei, qui in hunc mundum venisti." 28 Et cum haec dixisset, abiit et vocavit Mariam, sororem suam, silentio, dicens, "Magister adest et vocat te." 29 Illa ut audivit surgit cito et venit ad eum. 39 Nondum enim venerat lesus in castellum, sed erat adhuc in illo loco ubi occurrerat ei Martha.

14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fel-

low disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” 17 So Jesus came and found that he had been four days already in the grave. 18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off) 1? And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that

Jesus had come, went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. 21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, “Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ?2 But now also I know that

whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee." 23 Jesus saith to her, "Thy brother shall rise again." 24 Martha saith to him, “I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He

that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live; 26 and every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?” 27 She saith to him, “Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the ving God, who art come into this

world.” 28 And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, “The master is come and calleth for thee.” 29 She as soon as she heard this riseth quickly and cometh to him. 30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but he was still in that place where Martha

had met him.

33 Jesus ergo ut vidit eam plorantem et ludaeos qui venerant cum ea plorantes, fremuit spiritu et turbavit se ipsum 34 et dixit, "Ubi posuistis eum?" Dicunt ei, “Domine, veni, et vide." 35 Et lacrimatus est Ie-

40 Dicit ei lesus, "Nonne dixi tibi quoniam si credideris, videbis gloriam Dei?" 41 Tulerunt ergo lapidem. lesus autem elevatis sursum oculis dixit, "Pater, gratias ago tibi quoniam audisti me. 42 Ego autem sciebam quia semper me audis,

31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and

comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying, “She goeth to the grave to weep there.” 32 When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him she fell down at his feet and saith to him, “Lord, if

thou 33 that and

hadst been here, my brother had not died.” When Jesus therefore saw her weeping and the Jews were come with her weeping, he groaned in the spirit troubled himself 34 and said, “Where have you laid

him?”

They say to him, “Lord, come, and see.” 35 And Jesus wept. 36 The Jews therefore said, “Behold how he loved him.”

37 But some of them said, “Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind have caused that this man should

not die?” 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave, and a stone was laid over it. 39 Jesus saith, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him,

“Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.” 40 Jesus saith to her, “Did not I say to thee that if thou wilt believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?” 41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said, “Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always, but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he

ently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them, “Loose

him, and let

him go.” 45 Many therefore of the Jews who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus bad done. 47The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What do we? For this man doth many miracles. 48 If we let him alone so, all will believe in him, and the Romans will

come and take away our place and nation.” 49 But one of them, named Caiaphas being the high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish

not.” 51 And this he spoke not of himself, but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation 52 —and not only for the nation, but to gather together iz one the children of God that were dispersed. 53 From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. 54 Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the

Jews, but he went into a country near the desert unto a city that is called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples. 55 And the Pasch of the Jews was at hand, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Pasch to purify themselves. 56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and they discoursed one with another standing in the temple, “What think you that he is not come to the festival day?” And the

N ow Jesus six days before the Pasch came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. 2 And they made him a supper there, and Martha served, but

Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. 3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard of great price and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that

was about to betray him, said, 5 “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?” 6 Now he said this not because he cared for the poor but because

he was a thief and having the purse carried what was put therein. 7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone, that she may keep it

against the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you have always with you, but me you have not always.” 9A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he 553

they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also, 11 because many of the Jews by reason of him went away and believed in Jesus. 12 And on the next day a great multitude that was come to

the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, “Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh

in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, as it is written: 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold: thy king cometh sitting on an

ass’s colt.” 16 These things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him. 17The

multitude

therefore gave testimony which was

with him when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead. 18 For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. i9 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “Do you see that we prevail nothing? Behold: the whole world is gone after him.” 20 Now

there were certain Gentiles among them who

came up to adore on the festival day. 2! These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him,

saying, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour is come

that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Amen, amen I say to you: unless the grain of wheat fall into the ground and die,

25 itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. 26 If any man minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am,

there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour. 27 Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name.”

A voice therefore came from heaven: “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” 29 The multitude therefore, that stood and heard, said that

it thundered. Others said, “An angel spoke to him.” 30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice came not because

of me but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of the world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to my-

self.” 33 Now this he said signifying what death he should die. 34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of

the law that Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of man?” 35 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light

from them. 37 And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him, 38 that the saying of Isaiah,

the prophet, might be fulfilled which he said: *Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, 40 "He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them." 41 These things said Isaiah when he saw his glory and spoke of him. 42 However, many of the chief men also believed in him,

but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue. 43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. 44 But Jesus cried and said, "He that believeth in me doth

not believe in me but in him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain

in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He that despiseth me and receiveth

Ds. the festival day of the Pasch, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come that he should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he

loved them to the end. 2 And when supper was done (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him), 3 knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God, 4 he riseth from supper and layeth

aside his garments and having taken a towel girded himself. 5 After that he poureth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6 He cometh therefore to Simon Peter, and Peter saith to him, “Lord, dost thou wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.”

Amodo dico vobis priusquam fiat, ut credatis cum factum fuerit quia ego sum. 20 Amen, amen dico vobis: qui accipit si quem misero me accipit, qui autem me accipit accipit eum qui me misit."

21 Cum haec dixisset Iesus, turbatus est spiritu, et protestatus est et dixit, “Amen, amen dico vobis quia unus ex vobis tradet me." 22 Aspiciebant ergo ad invicem discipuli, haesitantes de quo diceret.

8 Peter saith to him, “Thou shalt never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me.” 9 Simon Peter saith to him, “Lord, not only my feet but

also my hands and my head.” 10 Jesus saith to him, to wash his feet, but is not all.” 11 For he knew therefore he said, “You 12 Then after he had ments, being set down

what I have done to you? 13 You call me Master and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. i4 If then I, being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example that as I have done to you, so you do also. 16 Amen, amen I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord, neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. 17 If you know these things, you shall be blessed if you do them. 18 I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the scripture may be fulfilled: ‘He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me.’ 19 At present I tell you before it come to pass, that when it shall come to pass you may believe that I am he. 20 Amen, amen I say to you: he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiv-

eth him that sent me.” 21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit, and he testified and said, “Amen, amen I say to you: one of you shall betray me.” 22 The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.

CHAPTER 23 Now

there was leaning on Jesus’s bosom one of his

disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him, “Who is it of whom he speaketh?” 25 He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped.” And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after the morsel Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, “That which

thou dost do quickly.” 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he said this. to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy

those things which we have need of for the festival day,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 He then having received the morsel went out immediately. And it was night. 31 When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said, “Now is

the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself, and immediately will he glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me, and as I said to

the Jews, ‘Whither I go you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one

another as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.” 36 Simon Peter saith to him, “Lord, whither goest thou?”

Jesus answered, “Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards.”

37 Peter saith to him, “Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.” 565

L. not your heart be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you that I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I

am, you also may be. 4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas saith to him, “Lord, we know not whither thou

goest, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus saith to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by me. 7 If you had known me, you would surely have known my Father also; and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.” 8 Philip saith to him, “Lord, shew us the Father, and it is

ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not nor knoweth him; but you sha// know him, because he shall abide

with you and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me, because I live, and you shall

Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. 28 You have heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and I come again to you.’ If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it shall come to pass you may believe. 30 I will not now speak many things with you, for the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not any thing. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you the branches; he that abideth in me and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. 6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither, and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. 7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 In this is my Father glo-

rified, that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. ? As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, as I also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you and your joy may be filled. i2 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. 15 I wf not now call you servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends, because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. 16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit and your fruit should remain, that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another. 18 “If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. 19 If you had been of the world, the world would 573

me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father, 25 but that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: "They hated me without cause.’ 26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me; 27 and you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”

he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself, but what things soever he shall hear he shall speak, and the things that are to come he shall shew you. 14 He shall glorify me, because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you. 15 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine; therefore I said that he shall receive of mine and shew it to you. 16A little while and now you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me, because I go to the Father." 17 Then some of the disciples said one to another, “What

is this that he saith to us, ‘A little while and you shall not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' and ‘Because I go to the Father?" 18 They said therefore, “What is this that he saith, ‘A little while”? We know not what he

hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs but will shew you plainly of the Father. 26 In that day you shall ask in my name. And I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, 27 for the Father himself loveth you because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God. 38 I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again I leave the world, and I go to the Father."

29 His disciples say to him, “Behold: now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb. 30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.” 31 Jesus answered them: “Do you now believe? 32 Behold: the hour cometh and is now come that you shall be scattered 579

Chapter 17 Christ’s prayer for his disciples.

These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven he said, “Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee, 2 as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3 Now this is eternal life, that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast

sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the

work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.

6“I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them, and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are from thee, 8 because the words which thou gavest me I have given to them, and they have received them and have 581

V ( hen Jesus had said these things he went forth with his

disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples. 2 And Judas also,

who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples. 3 Judas therefore having received a band of men and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees cometh thither with lanterns

and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said to them, “Whom seek ye?"

5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus saith to them,

“I am he.” And Judas also, who

quia: ^Quos dedisti mihi, non perdidi ex ipsis quemquam." 10 Simon ergo Petrus, habens gladium, eduxit eum et percussit pontificis servum et abscidit eius auriculam dextram. Erat autem nomen servo Malchus. 1! Dixit ergo Iesus Petro,

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am he. If there-

fore you seek me, let these go their way,” 9 that the word might be fulfilled which he said: “Of them whom thou hast given me I have not lost any one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus. 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put up thy sword

into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?”

12 Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took Jesus and bound him, 13 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest of that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one

man should die for the people. 15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and

went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. 16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then the other disciple,

who the that this

was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to portress and brought in Peter. 17The maid therefore was portress saith to Peter, “Art not thou also one of man’s disciples?”

21 Quid me interrogas? Interroga eos qui audierunt quid locutus sum ipsis. Ecce: hii sciunt quae dixerim ego." 22 Haec autem cum dixisset, unus adsistens ministrorum dedit alapam Iesu, dicens, "Sic respondes pontifici?"

23 Respondit ei Iesus, "Si male locutus sum, testimonium perhibe de malo; si autem bene, quid me caedis?" 24 Et misit

because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them

was Peter also, standing and warming himself. 19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. 20 Jesus answered him: “I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret I

have spoken nothing. 21 Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken to them. Behold: they know what things I have said.” 22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants

standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying, “Answerest thou the high priest so?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?” 24 And

Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. 25 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “Art not thou also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”

26 One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, saith to him, “Did I not see thee

in the garden with him?” 27 Then again Peter denied, and immediately the cock crew. 28 Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning, and they went not into the hall,

that they might not be defiled but that they might eat the Pasch. 29 Pilate therefore went out to them and said, “What accusation bring you against this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If he were not a male-

factor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.”

37 Dixit itaque ei Pilatus, "Ergo rex es tu?" Respondit Iesus, “Tu dicis quia rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum: ut testimonium perhibeam veritati. Omnis qui est ex veritate audit meam vocem." 38 Dicit ei Pilatus, "Quid est veritas?" Et cum hoc dixisset

put any man to death," 32 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying what death he should die. 33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again and called Je-

sus and said to him, "Art thou the king of the Jews?" 34 Jesus answered, “Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?" 35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done?" 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly

strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence." 37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Art thou a king then?" Jesus answered, “Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world: that I should

give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." 38 Pilate saith to him, “What is truth?" And when he had

said this he went out again to the Jews and saith to them, “I find no cause in him. 39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the Pasch. Will you therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews?" 40 Then cried they all again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.

thorns and the purple garment. And he saith to them, “Behold the man.” 6 When the chief priests therefore and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify him! crucify him!” Pilate saith to them, “Take him you, and crucify him; for I

find no cause in him.” 7 The Jews answered him: “We have a law, and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more. 9 And he entered into the hall again, and he said to Jesus, “Whence art thou?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore saith to him, “Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I

speaketh against Caesar." 13 Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought

Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the Parasceve of the Pasch, about the sixth hour, and

he saith to the 15 But they Crucify him!” Pilate saith The chief

midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was, “Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews.” 20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read,

because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek and in Latin. 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Write not, ‘The king of the Jews,’ but that ‘He said, “I am the king

of the Jews.”’” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 The soldiers therefore when they had crucified him took his garments (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also his coat. Now

the coat was without

scam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said then one to another, "Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose

it shall be,” that the scripture might be fulfilled which saith "They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots." And the soldiers indeed did these things. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and

his mother's sister, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother, “Woman, behold thy son." 27 After that he saith to the disciple, ^Behold thy mother." And from that hour the disciple took her to his own. 28 Afterwards Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished that the scripture might be fulfilled, sazd, “I thirst." 22 Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar,

and they put a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop and put it to his mouth. 30 When

Jesus therefore had taken the vinegar

he said, “It is consummated,” and bowing his head he gave up the ghost. 31 Then

the Jews, because it was the Parasceve, that the

bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 The soldiers therefore came, and they broke the legs of the first and of the other that was crucified with him. 33 But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers opened his side with a spear, and immediately 597

38 And after these things Joseph of Arimathea, because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. 39 And Nicodemus also came, he who at the first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. 40 They took therefore the body of Jesus and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. 42 There therefore, because of the Parasceve of the Jews,

they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

and cometh to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and saith to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.” 3 Peter therefore went out and that other disciple, and they came to the sepulchre. 4 And they both ran to-

gether, and that other disciple did overrun Peter and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And when he stooped down he saw the linen cloths lying, but yet he went not in. 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen cloths lying ? and the napkin that had been about his head not lying with the linen cloths but apart, wrapped up into one place. 8 Then that other disciple also went in who came first to the sepulchre, and he saw and be-

lieved. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture that he must rise again from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again to their home. 11 But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping.

Now as she was weeping she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre, 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been laid. 13 They say to her, “Woman, why weepest thou?” She saith to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.” 14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing, and she knew not that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus saith to her, “Woman, why weepest thou? Whom

seekest thou?” She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him, “Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus saith to her, “Mary.” 601

18 Venit Maria Magdalene adnuntians discipulis quia “Vidi Dominum, et haec dixit mihi."

19 Cum esset ergo sero die illo, una sabbatorum, et fores essent clausae ubi erant discipuli congregati propter metum Iudaeorum, venit Iesus et stetit in medio et dicit eis, "Pax vobis." 20 Et hoc cum dixisset, ostendit eis manus et latus. Gavisi sunt ergo discipuli viso Domino. 21 Dixit ergo eis ite-

rum, "Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos." 22 Hoc cum dixisset insuflavit, et dicit eis, "Accipite Spiritum Sanctum. 23 Quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis, et

quorum retinueritis, retenta sunt."

24'Thomas autem, unus ex duodecim, qui dicitur Didymus, non erat cum eis quando venit lesus. 25 Dixerunt ergo

clavorum et mittam digitum meum in locum clavorum et mittam manum meam in latus eius, non credam."

26 Et post dies octo iterum erant discipuli eius intus et Thomas cum eis. Venit lesus, ianuis clausis, et stetit in medio et dixit, “Pax vobis." 27 Deinde dicit Thomae, “Infer digitum tuum huc, et vide manus meas, et adfer manum tuam,

She turning saith to him, “Rabbouni” (which is to say, “Master”). 17 Jesus saith to her, “Do not touch me, for I am not yet

ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them, ‘I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.” 18 Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples, “I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.” 19 Now when it was late that same day, being the first of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood

in the midst and said to them, “Peace be to you.” 20 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his

side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 He said therefore to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.” 22 When he had said this he breathed on them, and he said to them, “Re-

ceive ye the Holy Ghost. 23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” 24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other dis-

ciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, “Peace be to you.” 2? Then he

saith to Thomas, “Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless but believing.” 603

JOHN

tis." Miserunt ergo, et iam non valebant illud trahere prae multitudine piscium.

7 Dicit ergo discipulus ille quem diligebat lesus Petro, *Dominus est." Simon Petrus, cum audisset quia Dominus est, tunicam

succinxit se, erat enim nudus, et misit se in

mare. 8Alii autem discipuli navigio venerunt (non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cubitis ducentis), trahentes rete piscium.

9 Ut ergo descenderunt in terram, viderunt prunas positas et piscem superpositum et panem. 10 Dicit eis Iesus, “Adferte de piscibus quos prendidistis nunc." 11 Ascendit Simon Petrus et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis piscibus, centum quinquaginta tribus. Et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete. 12 Dicit eis Iesus, "Venite; pran-

dete.” Et nemo audebat discumbentium interrogare eum, "Tu quis es?" scientes quia Dominus est. 13 Et venit lesus et accipit panem et dat eis, et piscem similiter. 14 Hoc iam ter-

shore; yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus

therefore said to them, “Children, have you any meat?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He saith to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the

ship, and you shall find.” They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved sazd to Peter, “It is the Lord.” Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, for he was naked, and cast

himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits), dragging the net wth fishes. 9 As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying and a fish laid thereon and bread. 10 Jesus saith to them, “Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught.” 11 Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus saith to them, “Come, and dine.” And none of them who were at meat durst ask him, “Who art thou?” knowing that it was

the Lord. 13 And Jesus cometh and taketh bread and giveth them, and fish in like manner. 14 This is now the third time

that Jesus was manifested to his disciples after he was risen from the dead. 15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these?” He saith to him, “Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love

thee.” He saith to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He saith to him again, “Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?”

Quid ad te? Tu me sequere."

23 Exivit ergo sermo iste inter fratres, quia discipulus ille non moritur. Et non dixit ei Iesus, “Non moritur," sed “Sic eum volo manere donec veniam. Quid ad te?" 24 Hic est discipulus ille qui testimonium perhibet de his et scripsit haec, et scimus quia verum est testimonium eius. 25 Sunt autem et alia multa quae fecit lesus, quae si scribantur per singula, nec ipsum arbitror mundum capere posse eos qui scribendi

He saith to him, “Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.” He saith to him, “Feed my lambs.” 17 He saith to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, lovest thou me?”

Peter was grieved, because he said to him the third time, “Lovest thou me?” And he said to him, “Lord, thou knowest

all things; thou knowest that I love thee.” He said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Amen, amen I say to thee: when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old,

thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.” 19 And this he

said signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him, “Follow me.” 20 Peter turning about saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, whu also leaned on his breast at supper and said, “Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?” 21 Him therefore, when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus, “Lord, and what shall this man do?” 22 Jesus saith to him, “So I will have him to remain till I come. What is it to thee? Follow thou me.”

23 This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him, “He should not die,” but, “So I will have him to remain till I come. What is it to thee?” 24 This is that disciple who

giveth testimony of these things and hath written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. 25 But there

are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written every one, the world itself, T think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.

This Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven,

shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven.” 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day’s journey. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude, the brother of James. 14 All these were persevering with one mind in prayer

with the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15 In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren said (now the number of persons together was about a hundred and twenty), 16 "Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus, 17 who was numbered with us and had obtained part of this ministry.” 18 (And he indeed

out of every nation under heaven. 6 And when this was notsed abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. 7 And they were all amazed and wondered, saying, “Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? 8 And how have we heard every man our own tongue wherein we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene and strangers of Rome, 11 Jews also and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 And they were all astonished and wondered, saying one to another, “What

fore the great and manifest day of the Lord come. 21 And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” 22 "Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth —a man approved of God among you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, as you also know— 23 this same, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain; 24 whom

God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. 25 For David saith concerning him, ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, because he is at my right hand that I may not be moved. 26 For this my heart hath been glad and my tongue hath rejoiced; moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope, 27 because

thou wilt not leave my soul in hell nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways

of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.’ 29 “Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he died and was buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. 30 Whereas therefore he was a

prophet and knew that ‘God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne,’ 31 foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, for neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.

satd, “The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit thou on my right hand, 35 until I make thy enemies thy footstool.” 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know most assuredly that God hath made this same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord

and Christ.” 37 Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and they said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “What shall we do, men and brethren?”

38 But Peter said to them, “Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord, our God, shall

call.” 40 And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this perverse

generation.” 41 They therefore that received his word were baptized, and there were added to them in that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all. 44 And all they that believed were together and had all things common. 45 They sold their possessions and goods and divided them to all, according as every man had need. 46 And continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from 623

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up, and walk.” 7And taking him by the right hand he lifted him up, and forthwith his feet and soles received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood and walked and went in with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him 625

Or why look you upon us as if by our strength or power we had made this man

to walk? 13The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son, Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied be-

fore the face of Pilate when he judged he should be released. 14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. 15 But the author of life you killed, whom: God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16 And his name, through the faith of his

name, hath made this man strong whom you have seen and know, and the faith which is by him hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all. 17 “And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets that his Christ should suffer he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out; 20 that when the times of refreshment shall come

from the presence of the Lord and he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ, 21 whom heaven indeed must receive until the times of the restitution of all

5 And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and ancients and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, 6and Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, 7 and setting them in the midst they asked, “By what

power or by what name have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them,

“Ye rulers of the people and ancients, bear: 9 if we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole, 10be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel that by the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him doth

this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is ‘the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, which is become the head of the corner.’ 12 Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved.” 13 Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered, and they knew them, that they had been with Jesus. 14 Seeing also the man that had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But they commanded them to go aside out of the council, and they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For indeed a known miracle hath been done by them to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; it is manifest,

and we cannot deny it. 17 But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak no more in this name to any man.” 18 And calling them they charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 631

make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them, 25 who by the Holy Ghost by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said, ‘Why have the Gentiles raged and the people devised vain things, 26 the kings of the earth stood up and the princes assembled together against the

Lord and against his Christ?’ 27 For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gen-

threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word 30 by stretching forth thy hand to cures and signs and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son, Jesus.” 31And

all that heard it. 6 And the young men rising up removed him and carrying him out buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. 8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for

so much.” And she said, “Yea, for so much.”

9 And Peter said to her, “Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold: the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.” 10 Immediately she fell down before his feet and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in found her dead and carried her out and buried her by her husband. 11 And there came great fear upon the whole church and upon all that heard these things. 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.

were all healed. 17 Then the high priest rose up and all they that were with him (which is the heresy of the Sadducees) and were filled

with indignation. 18 And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But an angel of the Lord

by night opening the doors of the prison and leading them out said, 20“Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.” 21 And they having heard this early in the morning entered into the temple and taught. And the high priest came and they that were with him and called together the council and all the ancients of the children of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But when the ministers came and opening the prison found them not there, they returned and told, 23 saying, “The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence and the keepers standing before the doors, but opening it we found no man within.” 24 Now when the magistrate of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass. 25 But one came and told them, “Behold: the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.” 26 Then went the

magistrate with the officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, “Commanding we commanded you that you should not 639
