The Gospel of Thomas Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin _________________	The Gospel of Luke King James Version (KJV) ____________________________________
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.	[1:1] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, [1:2] Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; [1:3] It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

(1) And he said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death."	[1:4] That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. [1:5] There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. [1:6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. [1:7] And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. [1:8] And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings	Thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed... Zacharias... Aaron = "light bringer"... Elisabeth... Elisabeth
These sayings	The commandments and ordinances
Not experience death	Zacharias = "remembered of Jehovah"... stricken... executed

(2) Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All."	[1:9] According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. [1:10] And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. [1:11] And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. [1:12] And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. [1:13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. [1:14] And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. [1:15] For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. [1:16] And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

(3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."	[1:17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. [1:18] And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. [1:19] And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. [1:20] And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. [1:21] And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. [1:22] And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. [1:23] And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. [1:24] And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, [1:25] Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. [1:26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [1:27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [1:28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [1:29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [1:30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [1:31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [1:32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [1:33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

It is in the sea	A people... the house of David
Inside of you	In the spirit... in the temple... in the spirit... in thy womb
It is outside of you	He shall reign over the house of Jacob
You will become known	Take away my reproach among men... Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women... his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself
You will realize that it is you... But if you will not know yourselves... it is you who are	Thou that art highly favoured... blessed art thou
Who are the sons of the living father	Gabriel... Gabriel = "man of God" Bring forth a son... He... shall be called the Son of the Highest
The living father	His father David
You dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty	He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end

(4) Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same."	[34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. [36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing shall be impossible. [38] And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. [39] And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; [40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. [41] And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
The man	A man
Old in days	Old age
Will not hesitate	Went... with haste
Ask	How shall this be
A small child	A son... the babe
Seven days old	The sixth month
The place of life	In her womb
He will live	That holy thing which shall be born
Many who are first	Her, who was called barren
They will become one and the same	Thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived... the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost

(5) Jesus said, "Recognize what is in your sight, and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest."	[1:42] And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [1:43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [1:44] For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. [1:45] And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. [1:46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [1:47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [1:48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [1:49] For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. [1:50] And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. [1:51] He hath shewed strength with his arm;
Recognize what is in your sight	He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden... behold... all generations
That which is hidden from you will become plain to you	The fruit of thy womb... the babe leaped in my womb
For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest	My soul... my spirit... mercy is on them that fear him... He hath shewed strength

(6) His disciples questioned him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?"     Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered."	[1:51b] he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [1:52] He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. [1:53] He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. [1:54] He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; [1:55] As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. [1:56] And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. [1:57] Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. [1:58] And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. [1:59] And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. [1:60] And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. [1:61] And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. [1:62] And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. [1:63] And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. [1:64] And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. [1:65] And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. [1:66] And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. [1:67] And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, [1:68] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, [1:69] And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; [1:70] As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
His disciples questioned him	His disciples questioned him... He hath put down the mighty from their seats
Do you want us to fast... What diet shall we observe	He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away
How shall we pray	He asked
Shall we give alms	The rich he hath sent empty away
Do not tell lies	They called him Zacharias... his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John
Do not do what you hate	They came to circumcise the child
All	All
Things are plain in the sight	The Lord had shewed great mercy upon her... they made signs
In... heaven	In their hearts... his people... in the house
Nothing hidden	In the imagination of their hearts... Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost
Become manifest	She brought forth a son... his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God... prophesied... he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets
Nothing covered will remain without being uncovered	Raised up an horn... in the house

(7) Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man."	[1:71] That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; [1:72] To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; [1:73] The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, [1:74] That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, [1:75] In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. [1:76] And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; [1:77] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, [1:78] Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, [1:79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [1:80] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Blessed	Be saved... being delivered
The lion... the lion... the lion	Our enemies... the hand of all that hate us... the hand of our enemies... our feet... Israel
Man... man... the man...man	Our fathers... our father... child... the child
When	All the days of our life... till the day of his shewing

(8) And he said, "The man is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of small fish. Among them the wise fisherman found a fine large fish. He threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large fish without difficulty. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."	[2:1] And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. [2:2] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) [2:3] And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. [2:4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) [2:5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. [2:6] And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [2:7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. [2:8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. [2:9] And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. [2:10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [2:11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. [2:12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. [2:13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [2:14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The man	Child... firstborn son... all people... good will toward men
A wise Fisherman... the wise fisherman	Her firstborn son... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
Who cast his net	The angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy
Into the sea	To all people
Drew it up from the sea full	Wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn... wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger
Small fish... all the small fish	All the world... all people
Among them	Unto the city of David... he was of the house and lineage of David... in the city of David
Found	This shall be a sign unto you... find
Found a fine large fish... chose the large fish	Great with child... brought forth her firstborn son... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord... find the babe
Without difficulty	For unto you is born this day
Back into the sea	Born... in the city of David
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear	The angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy

(9) Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure."	[2:15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. [2:16] And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [2:17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [2:18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. [2:19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. [2:20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. [2:21] And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. [2:22] And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; [2:23] (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) [2:24] And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. [2:25] And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. [2:26] And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. [2:27] And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, [2:28] Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, [2:29] Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
Now	It came to pass... now... when

(10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes."	[2:30] For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, [2:31] Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; [2:32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. [2:33] And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. [2:34] And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel;
I have cast... upon	This child is set for the fall
Fire... blazes	A light to lighten... the glory
The world	The Gentiles... thy people Israel... many in Israel
See	His mother marvelled at those things... mine eyes have seen thy salvation... before the face... Behold, this child

(11) Jesus said, "This heaven will pass away, and the one above it will pass away. The dead are not alive, and the living will not die. In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive. When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do ? On the day when you were one you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?"	and for a sign which shall be spoken against; [2:35] (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. [2:36] And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; [2:37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. [2:38] And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. [2:39] And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. [2:40] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. [2:41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. [2:42] And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. [2:43] And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. [2:44] But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. [2:45] And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. [2:46] And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. [2:47] And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. [2:48] And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
This heaven will pass away	A sign which shall be spoken against... a sword shall pierce through thy own soul
This heaven...and the one above it	Jerusalem... Jerusalem... Jerusalem... Jerusalem (The New Jerusalem is the heaven from above, Rev. 22)
And the one	And there was one
Will pass away	A sword shall pierce through thy own soul
Heaven	The temple
The dead	A widow
Dead...alive... and the living will not die	Lived... after three days
Will... will	Shall... shall
In the days when you consumed what is dead, you made it what is alive	Anna, a prophetess... she was of a great age... about fourscore and four years... served God with fastings and prayers night and day... Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast
Consumed	Fastings
When you come to dwell in the light, what will you do	When they had fulfilled the days... they returned... when they found him not, they turned back again
Come to dwell	Departed not... returned into Galilee... went to Jerusalem... went up to Jerusalem... they returned... Jesus tarried behind... went... turned back again
Light	His understanding and answers
The day when	When they had fulfilled the days... it came to pass, that after three days
You were one	There was one
You became two... you become two	Seven... fourscore and four... he was twelve... three
But	And ( in Greek: kai =  and, but )
Two, what will you do?	Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?

(12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?"     Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being."	behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. [2:49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? [2:50] And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. [2:51] And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. [2:52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. [3:1] Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, [3:2] Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. [3:3] And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; [3:4] As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. [3:5] Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
We know that you	I have sought thee
Depart from us	Ye sought me
Who is to be our leader	He... was subject unto them... Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man
Wherever you are	Judaea... Galilee... Ituraea... Trachonitis... Abilene... in the wilderness... the country about Jordan... in the wilderness...  Every valley... every mountain and hill
You are to go to	He came into
The righteous	The remission of sins... straight... be made straight... be made smooth
For whose sake	For the remission of sins
Heaven	Every mountain and hill
Earth	The wilderness... the country about Jordan... the wilderness... Every valley
Came into being	He... came to Nazareth... the word of God came... he came into all the country about Jordan

(13) Jesus said to his disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like."     Simon Peter said to him, "You are like a righteous angel."     Matthew said to him, "You are like a wise philosopher."     Thomas said to him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like."     Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring which I have measured out."     And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"     Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up."	[3:6] And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. [3:7] Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? [3:8] Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. [3:9] And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [3:10] And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? [3:11] He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. [3:12] Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? [3:13] And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. [3:14] And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. [3:15] And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; [3:16] John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: [3:17] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. [3:18] And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. [3:19] But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, [3:20] Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. [3:21] Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, [3:22] And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. [3:23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, [3:24] Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, [3:25] Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, [3:26] Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, [3:27] Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, [3:28] Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, [3:29] Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, [3:30] Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, [3:31] Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, [3:32] Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, [3:33] Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, [3:34] Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like... You are like a righteous angel... whom you are like	Who hath warned you... whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose... Whose fan is in his hand... Thou art my beloved Son... the  son of (mentioned many times)... Jacob = "heel-catcher or supplanter"

My mouth is wholly incapable of saying	Begin not to say within yourselves... all men mused in their hearts... a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son
Drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring	Baptized... he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire... all the people were baptized... Jesus also being baptized
which I have measured out	Joseph = let him add... Elmodam = "measure"
Told him three things... If I tell you	A voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son Semei = "harkeners: my report"
Thomas returned to his companions	Levi = joined... Melea = "my dear friend,  object of care"
Which I have measured out	Maath = small, Elmodam = "measure"
You will pick up	Heli = ascending
A fire will come out of the stones and burn you up	Zorobabel = "born at Babyl, i.e. Babylon"... Neri = "Jehovah is my lamp"... Nachor = "snorting"

(14) Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you  and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but, that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you."	[3:35] Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, [3:36] Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, [3:37] Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, [3:38] Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. [4:1] And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, [4:2] Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. [4:3] And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. [4:4] And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. [4:5] And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. [4:6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. [4:7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. [4:8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. [4:9] And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: [4:10] For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: [4:11] And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [4:12] And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

You will do harm to your spirits... it is that which will defile you	Lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone
When you go	Forty days... in a moment of time
Into any land and walk about in the districts	Heber = the region beyond... Adam = the red earth... Into the wilderness... into an high mountain... he brought him to Jerusalem
If they receive you	Saruch = intertwined... If thou therefore wilt worship me

(15) Jesus said, "When you see one who was not born of woman, prostrate yourselves on your faces and worship him. That one is your father."	[4:13] And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. [4:14] And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. [4:15] And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. [4:16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [4:17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, [4:18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
When you see	When the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season... on the sabbath day... when he had opened the book
See	Read...  he hath anointed me to preach... recovering of sight to the blind
One who was not born of woman	Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit... Nazareth, where he had been brought up...  The Spirit of the Lord

(16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which  I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary."	[4:19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. [4:20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. [4:21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. [4:22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? [4:23] And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. [4:24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. [4:25] But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; [4:26] But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. [4:27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. [4:28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, [4:29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. [4:30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way, [4:31] And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. [4:32] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. [4:33] And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, [4:34] Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
Men think	Is not this Joseph's son... there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil
It is peace which I have... it is dissension	They... were filled with wrath
Upon the world... upon the earth	In the synagogue... do also here in thy country... No prophet is accepted in his own country... many widows were in Israel... great famine was throughout all the land... many lepers were in Israel... all they in the synagogue... thrust him out of the city... their city... a city... in the synagogue
They do not know	No prophet is accepted... this proverb, Physician, heal thyself... the heaven was shut... I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God
They do not	Do also here
I have come... I have come	Unto none of them was Elias sent... He (Jesus)...  came down to Capernaum... art thou come to destroy us?
To cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war	The gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth... ... they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power
There will be five in a house	All them that were in the synagogue... in thy country... in his own country... great famine was throughout all the land... all they in the synagogue... the city... their city
Against... against... the father against the son... the son against the father	No prophet is accepted in his own country... when they heard these things, were filled with wrath... rose up, and thrust him out of the city... they might cast him down headlong... art thou come to destroy us?... what have we to do with thee
They will stand solitary	Let us alone... I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God

(17) Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen and what no ear has heard and what no hand has touched and what has never occurred to the human mind."	[4:35] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. [4:36] And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. [4:37] And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. [4:38] And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. [4:39] And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. [4:40] Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. [4:41] And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
I shall give you what... what... what... what	What a word is this!
No eye has seen	They were all amazed
No ear has heard	What a word is this!... crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God... he rebuking them suffered them not to speak
No hand has touched	He laid his hands on every one of them
Has never occurred to the human mind	They knew that he was Christ

(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be."     Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."	[4:42] And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. [4:43] And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. [4:44] And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. [5:1] And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, [5:2] And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. [5:3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. [5:4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. [5:5] And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [5:6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. [5:7] And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. [5:8] When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. [5:9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
The disciples	The people sought him... the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God... Simon... Simon... Simon... Master... Simon Peter... O Lord
Tell us how our end will be	Went into a desert place... I must preach the kingdom of God... he... taught the people... at thy word
Have you discovered... the beginning	The people sought him
You look for the end	It came to pass... the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God
Where the beginning is, there will the end be	Thrust out a little from the land... Launch out into the deep
Blessed is he who will take his place	They beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship... have taken nothing... they came, and filled both the ships... at the draught of the fishes which they had taken
He will know the end	Depart from me; for I am a sinful man
Not experience death	He was astonished...  (Cf. Thomas 1) with him

(19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall.  Whoever becomes acquainted with them   will not experience death."	[5:10] And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. [5:11] And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. [5:12] And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. [5:13] And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. [5:14] And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. [5:15] But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. [5:16] And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. [5:17] And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. [5:18] And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. [5:19] And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. [5:20] And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. [5:21] And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being	When they had brought their ships to land... it came to pass, when he was... immediately the leprosy departed from him... men brought in a bed... bring him in... bring him in... into the midst before Jesus
If you become my disciples	They forsook all, and followed him
Listen to my words	Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men... I will: be thou clean... great multitudes came together to hear... he was teaching... he saw their faith... Man, thy sins are forgiven thee
These stones will minister to you	James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon... Moses commanded, for a testimony... Pharisees and doctors of the law... the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason
There are five trees	James, and John... Simon... Jesus... Moses

(20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like."     He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds. But when it falls on tilled soil, it produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky."	[5:22] But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? [5:23] Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? [5:24] But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. [5:25] And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. [5:26] And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. [5:27] And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. [5:28] And he left all, rose up, and followed him. [5:29] And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. [5:30] But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? [5:31] And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. [5:32] I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like	What reason ye in your hearts?
It is like a mustard seed	Jesus... the Son of man
It is the smallest of all seeds	They were all amazed... he left all
It falls	He lay... Levi, sitting... and... others that sat down with them
Tilled soil	Your hearts?
It produces a great plant	The Son of man hath power upon earth... he rose up before them... Levi made him a great feast... there was a great company of publicans
Becomes a shelter	Your hearts?... go into thine house... he... departed to his own house
Birds of the sky	The sick of the palsy... a great company of publicans... scribes and Pharisees... publicans and sinners... they that are sick... sinners
It produces a great plant and becomes a shelter for birds of the sky	Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them

(21) Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?"     He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."	[5:33] And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? [5:34] And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? [5:35] But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. [5:36] And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. [5:37] And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [5:38] But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. [5:39] No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. [6:1] And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. [6:2] And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? [6:3] And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; [6:4] How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? [6:5] And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. [6:6] And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. [6:7] And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. [6:8] But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. [6:9] Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? [6:10] And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. [6:11] And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. [6:12] And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. [6:13] And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; [6:14] Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, [6:15] Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, [6:16] And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. [6:17] And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; [6:18] And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. [6:19] And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. [6:20] And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. [6:21] Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. [6:22] Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. [6:23] Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Whom are your disciples like?	Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?... there was a man whose right hand was withered... he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; Simon, (whom he also named Peter,)
They are like children	Likewise the disciples of the Pharisees... Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast... his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat... which it is not lawful to eat... for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets
Who have settled in a field which is not theirs	New wine into old bottles... the new wine will burst the bottles... the bottles shall perish... But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved
The owners... will say... Let us have back our field	No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better
When the owners of the field come, they will say	But the days will come... It came to pass on the second sabbath after the first... certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?... when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him... the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath... it came to pass also on another sabbath... the sabbath day... Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good... then shall they fast in those days... it came to pass in those days... when it was day... Blessed are ye that hunger now... Rejoice ye in that day
Let us have back our field	He went through the corn fields... the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him
They (will) undress in their presence	No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old
In order to let them have back their field	He... did take and eat the shewbread.. which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone
And to give it back to them	And gave also to them
If the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming	He went into the house of God... the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath... But he knew their thoughts
he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods	Rise up, and stand forth in the midst... It came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered
Before he comes	It came to pass
Into his house of his domain	He went into the house of God... into the synagogue
To carry away his goods	There was a man whose right hand was withered... the man which had the withered hand
You, then, be on your guard against the world	The ears of corn...Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth...  the Pharisees
Arm yourselves with great strength	Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other
Lest the robbers find a way to come to you	The Pharisees... certain of the Pharisees... the scribes and Pharisees watched him... that they might find an accusation against him
For the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize	And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus
Let there be among you a man of understanding	For in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets
When the grain ripened	And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands
He came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it	When it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles
He came quickly	In those days, that he went out into a mountain
With his sickle in his hand	They shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake
Reaped it	Plucked the ears of corn
Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear	A great multitude of people... came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases... Blessed be ye poor... Blessed are ye that hunger now... Blessed are ye that weep now... Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you

(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."     They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"     Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."	[6:24] But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. [6:25] Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. [6:26] Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. [6:27] But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, [6:28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. [6:29] And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. [6:30] Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. [6:31] And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. [6:32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [6:33] And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [6:34] And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [6:35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [6:36] Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. [6:37] Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: [6:38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. [6:39] And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? [6:40] The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. [6:41] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? [6:42] Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. [6:43] For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [6:44] For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. [6:45] A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. [6:46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? [6:47] Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: [6:48] He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock:
Jesus saw infants being suckled	Ye shall be the children of the Highest:
These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom	Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep
Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?	Ye shall be the children of the Highest... then shalt thou see clearly
When you make the two one	And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other
And when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside	And him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also
And the above like the below (Incarnation)	And ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful
And when you make the male and the female one... so that the male not be male nor the female female	And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master
Make... the same	And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same... For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
When... when... when	Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!
When you fashion eyes in the place of an eye... then will you enter the kingdom	And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye
And a hand in place of a hand	Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom...
And a foot in place of a foot	And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
And a likeness in place of a likeness	And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise... Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house
Then will you enter the kingdom	He... built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock

(23) Jesus said, "I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one."	[6:48b] and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. [6:49] But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. [7:1] Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. [7:2] And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. [7:3] And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. [7:4] And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
I shall choose you	And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this
One out of a thousand	He... in the audience of the people
Two out of ten thousand	In the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum
And they shall stand	And...the flood arose... and immediately it fell... was sick, and ready to die
... And...stand	And could not shake it
As a single one	Like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth... and the ruin of that house was great

(24) His disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it."     He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness."	[7:5] For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. [7:6] Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: [7:7] Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. [7:8] For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. [7:9] When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. [7:10] And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. [7:11] And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. [7:12] Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. [7:13] And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. [7:14] And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
Show us the place where you are	He loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself
It is necessary for us to seek it	I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof... neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee
Whoever has ears, let him hear	Say in a word, and my servant shall be healed... I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it... Jesus heard these things
There is light within a man of light	I also am a man set under authority... he marvelled at him
And he lights up the whole world	I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel... and many of his disciples went with him, and much people
If he does not shine	The servant... that had been sick... there was a dead man... when the Lord saw... he had compassion
He is darkness	Stood still... Weep not... Young man, I say unto thee, Arise

(25) Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye."	[7:15] And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. [7:16] And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. [7:17] And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. [7:18] And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
Love your brother	He delivered him to his mother
Like your soul	he that was dead sat up
Guard him	There came a fear on all... a great prophet is risen up among us
Like the pupil	All Judaea, and throughout all the region round about
Of your eye	Of him... shewed him of all these things
The pupil of your eye	The disciples of John

(26) Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye."	[7:19] And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [7:20] When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? [7:21] And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. [7:22] Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. [7:23] And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. [7:24] And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? [7:25] But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. [7:26] But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
You see the mote in your brother's eye	Look we for another... look we for another
But you do not see the beam in your own eye	And unto many that were blind he gave sight
The beam	Infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits
When you cast the beam out of your own eye	Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen
The beam	The blind... the lame... the lepers... the deaf... the dead... the poor
Then you will see clearly	Then... the blind see... blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me
To cast the mote from your brother's eye	What went ye out into the wilderness for to see... what went ye out for to see... what went ye out for to see... A prophet... much more than a prophet

(27) <Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom. If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father."	[7:27] This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. [7:28] For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. [7:29] And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. [7:30] But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. [7:31] And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? [7:32] They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
You do not fast	Ye have not wept
Regards the world	Among those that are born of women
You will not	There is not
Find the kingdom	He that is least in the kingdom
If you do not observe	But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him
The Sabbath as a Sabbath	Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like
You will not see the father	Behold, I send my messenger before thy face... They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace

(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent."	[7:33] For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. [7:34] The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! [7:35] But wisdom is justified of all her children. [7:36] And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. [7:37] And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, [7:38] And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. [7:39] Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner. [7:40] And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. [7:41] There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. [7:42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? [7:43] Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. [7:44] And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. [7:45] Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. [7:46] My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. [7:47] Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. [7:48] And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. [7:49] And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? [7:50] And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
I took my place in the midst of the world	The Son of man is come eating and drinking...And he went into the Pharisee's house... Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house
And I appeared to them in flesh	Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners... and sat down to meat... And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner
I found none of them thirsty	But wisdom is justified of all her children... thou gavest me no water
And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men	And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears... she hath washed my feet with tears
They are blind in their hearts and do not have sight	Behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner...  when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner... Simon, Seest thou this woman?
Empty they came into the world	There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.  And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both
Empty too they seek to leave the world	I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet... Thou gavest me no kiss... My head with oil thou didst not anoint
But for the moment they are intoxicated	And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also
When they shake off their wine	She hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head... this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet... this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment
Then they will repent	Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little... Thy sins are forgiven... he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace

(29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."	[8:1] And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, [8:2] And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, [8:3] And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. [8:4] And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: [8:5] A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. [8:6] And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. [8:7] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. [8:8] And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
The flesh came into being	It came to pass
Of spirit	Of evil spirits... the fowls of the air
It is a wonder	Out of whom went seven devils
But if spirit came into being because of the body	And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance
It is a wonder of wonders	When much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable
Indeed	A sower went out to sow his seed
I am amazed at how this great wealth	He sowed (his seed)
Has made its home in this poverty	Some fell by the way side... some fell upon a rock... some fell among thorns
This poverty	Other fell on good ground... and bare fruit an hundredfold

(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him."	[8:9] And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? [8:10] And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. [8:11] Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. [8:12] Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. [8:13] They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Where there are three gods, they are gods	Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God... The seed is the word of God
Where there are two or one	Those by the way side are they... They on the rock are they
I am with him	The devil... taketh away the word out of their hearts ... (They) fall away

(31) Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him."	[8:14] And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. [8:15] But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. [8:16] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. [8:17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
No prophet is accepted in his own village	That which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection
Prophet	On the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart... bring forth fruit with patience
Is accepted	Having heard the word, keep it
No physician heals	No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light
Those who know him	For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad
No prophet... No physician	No fruit... No man... nothing

(32) Jesus said, "A city being built on a high mountain and fortified cannot fall, nor can it be hidden."	[8:18] Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. [8:19] Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. [8:20] And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. [8:21] And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
A city being built	Then came to him his mother and his brethren... My mother and my brethren
A high mountain	The press
And fortified cannot fall	Thy mother and thy brethren stand without
Nor can it be hidden	Desiring to see thee... these which hear the word of God, and do it

(33) Jesus said, "Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but rather he sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."	[8:22] Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. [8:23] But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. [8:24] And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. [8:25] And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. [8:26] And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. [8:27] And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. [8:28] When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. [8:29] (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) [8:30] And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
Preach from your housetops	He commandeth even the winds and water... he cried out... with a loud voice
That which you will hear in your ear	He went into a ship with his disciples... they were filled with water
For no one lights a lamp	They launched forth... he arose
And puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place	Master, master, we perish... neither abode in any house, but in the tombs
But rather he sets it on a lampstand	Let us go over unto the other side of the lake... the raging of the water... he went forth to land... thou Son of God most high
Everyone who enters and leaves	There met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time... neither abode in any house, but in the tombs... he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man... driven of the devil into the wilderness... Legion: because many devils were entered into him
See its light	There was a calm... they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this... he saw Jesus

(34) Jesus said, "If a blind man leads a blind man, they will both fall into a pit."	[8:31] And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. [8:32] And there was there an 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. [8:33] Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. [8:34] When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. [8:35] Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
A blind man	They besought him... they besought him... the man... the man
Leads	Went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently
A blind man	The swine...the herd ran violently... they that fed them saw what was done, they fled... they went out to see what was done
They will both fall into a pit	They besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep... and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake

(35) Jesus said, "It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man and take it by force unless he binds his hands; then he will (be able to) ransack his house."	and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. [8:36] They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. [8:37] Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again. [8:38] Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, [8:39] Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. [8:40] And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
It is not possible for anyone	Shew how great things God hath done unto thee
To enter the house of a strong man and take it by force	The man, out of whom the devils were departed... the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them... the man out of whom the devils were departed
Unless he binds his hands	Sitting at the feet of Jesus... how great things Jesus had done unto him
Then he will (be able to) ransack his house	Now the man out of whom the devils were departed... Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house

(36) Jesus said, "Do not be concerned from morning until evening and from evening until morning about what you will wear."	[8:41] And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: [8:42] For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. [8:43] And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, [8:44] Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. [8:45] And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Do not be concerned... about	Jairus = one who God enlightens, he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age... he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him... a woman... spent all her living upon physicians... Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
From morning until evening and from evening until morning	Twelve years... immediately (Notice that the number "twelve" appears twice in this passage)
What you will wear	The border of his garment    (c.f. The Gaderene demoniac clothed and in his right mind, Luke 8:35 and The Joint body Structure)

(37) His disciples said, "When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you?"     Jesus said, "When you disrobe without  being ashamed and take up your garments and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then will you see the son of the living one, and you will not be afraid"	[8:46] And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. [8:47] And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately. [8:48] And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. [8:49] While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. [8:50] But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. [8:51] And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. [8:52] And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. [8:53] And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. [8:54] And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. [8:55] And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. [8:56] And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. [9:1] Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. [9:2] And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. [9:3] And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
When will you become revealed to us and when shall we see you	I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid... she was healed immediately
When you disrobe without being ashamed	And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead... neither have two coats
Take up your garments	Maid, arise. And her spirit came again
And place them under your feet	And she arose straightway
Little children	Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole... Thy daughter... the father and the mother of the maiden... her parents
And tread on them	And gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases
Then will you see the son of the living one	Were astonished... he sent them to preach the kingdom of God
You will not be afraid	Go in peace... she came trembling... Fear not: believe only... Take nothing for your journey

(38) Jesus said, "Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me."	[9:4] And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. [9:5] And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. [9:6] And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. [9:7] Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; [9:8] And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. [9:9] And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. [9:10] And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. [9:11] And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Many times have you desired to hear	John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him
These words which I am saying to you	A testimony... preaching the gospel... he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God

There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me	He took them, and went aside privately into a desert place... And the people, when they knew it, followed him

(39) Jesus said, "The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."	[9:12] And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. [9:13] But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. [9:14] For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. [9:15] And they did so, and made them all sit down. [9:16] Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. [9:17] And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. [9:18] And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? [9:19] They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. [9:20] He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. [9:21] And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; [9:22] Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things,
The pharisees and the scribes	Whom say the people that I am
Have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis)	The Christ of God

(40) Jesus said, "A grapevine has been planted outside of the father, but being unsound, it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed."	and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. [9:23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [9:24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. [9:25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? [9:26] 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 own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. [9:27] But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
A grapevine has been planted outside of the father	Of the elders and chief priests and scribes
The father	The kingdom of God
But being unsound	Be rejected... be slain... be ashamed of me and of my words
It will be pulled up	Be raised the third day...  If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily
By its roots and destroyed	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it... of him shall the Son of man be ashamed... but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it... For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away... there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death

(41) Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more,  and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has."	[9:28] And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. [9:29] And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. [9:30] And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: [9:31] Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. [9:32] But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. [9:33] And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus,
Whoever has something in his hand will receive more	The fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering... there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias... Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem
Receive	Pray... he prayed
And whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has	But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep... they departed from him

(42) Jesus said, "Become passers-by."	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 Elias: not knowing what he said. [9:34] While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Become passers-by	There came a cloud
Become	Master, it is good for us to be here
Passers-by	They feared as they entered into the cloud
(43) His disciples said to him, "Who are you, that you should say these things to us?"     <Jesus said to them,> "You do not realize who I am from what I say to you, but you have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree and hate its fruit (or) love the fruit and hate the tree."	[9:35] And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. [9:36] And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen. [9:37] And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. [9:38] And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. [9:39] And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. [9:40] And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. [9:41] And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. [9:42] And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father. [9:43] And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, [9:44] Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. [9:45] But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
Who are you	This is my beloved Son... the Son of man
That you should say these things to us	Hear him... they kept it close, and told no man... those things... they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did... Let these sayings sink down into your ears
You do not realize who I am	Look upon my son: for he is mine only child... they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not
What I say to you	Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation
But you have become like the Jews	And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down
They (either) love the tree and hate its fruit	The Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men
Love the fruit	Look upon my son: for he is mine only child
Hate the tree	They feared to ask him of that saying

(44) Jesus said, "Whoever blasphemes against the father will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will not be forgiven either on earth or in heaven."	[9:46] Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. [9:47] And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, [9:48] And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. [9:49] And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. [9:50] And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. [9:51] And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, [9:52] And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. [9:53] And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. [9:54] And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [9:55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [9:56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Whoever blasphemes... whoever blasphemes... whoever blasphemes	Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me
Against... against... against	Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us
The father	Took a child, and set him by him... receive this child
The son will be forgiven	When the time was come that he should be received up... And they did not receive him... the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them
Holy spirit	We saw one casting out devils in thy name... Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of
Not be forgiven	Wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them
On earth or in heaven	Jerusalem... a village... Jerusalem.... another village

(45) Jesus said, "Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse; an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things."	[9:57] And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. [9:58] And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. [9:59] And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. [9:60] Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [9:61] And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. [9:62] And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. [10:1] After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. [10:2] Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. [10:3] Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. [10:4] Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. [10:5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [10:6] And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. [10:7] And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. [10:8] And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
Grapes... figs... fruit	In the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give... eat such things as are set before you
Harvested... gathered	No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God... The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest
Thorns... thistles	Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest... Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head... Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father... Let the dead bury their dead
A good man brings forth good	The Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come
From his storehouse	Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it
An evil man brings forth evil things	I send you forth as lambs among wolves
From his evil storehouse, which is in his heart	Go not from house to house
And says evil things. For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things	Another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house

(46) Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said, whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the kingdom and will become superior to John."	[10:9] And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [10:10] But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, [10:11] Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [10:12] But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. [10:13] Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. [10:14] But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. [10:15] And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. [10:16] He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. [10:17] And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. [10:18] And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. [10:19] Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [10:20] Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Among those born of women	The sick that are therein... into whatsoever city ye enter... the very dust of your city... Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida
From Adam until John the Baptist	They had a great while ago repented
There is no one so superior to John the Baptist	Thou, Capernaum, which art exalted
His eyes should not be lowered	Shalt be thrust down to hell... I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven
Whichever one of you comes to be a child	He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me

(47) Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result."	[10:21] In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. [10:22] All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. [10:23] And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: [10:24] For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. [10:25] And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [10:26] He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? [10:27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. [10:28] And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. [10:29] But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? [10:30] And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. [10:31] And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. [10:32] And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. [10:33] But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, [10:34] And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [10:35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. [10:36] Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? [10:37] And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
It is impossible for a man	Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes... All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him
A man... No man	A certain lawyer... A certain man... a certain priest... a Levite... a certain Samaritan... thou
To mount two horses	Set him on his own beast
Or to stretch two bows	Desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them
It is impossible for a servant to serve two masters	Many prophets and kings
He will honor the one	Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself
Treat the other contemptuously	A certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life
No man drinks old wine and... desires to drink new wine	Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live... But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?... he passed by on the other side... came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side
Immediately	When he (the priest) saw him... when he (the levite) was at the place... On the morrow when he (the samaritan) departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him... now... Go, and do thou likewise
And new wine	Pouring in oil and wine... compassion... mercy
Is not put into old wineskins lest they burst	A certain priest... a Levite
Nor is old wine	What is written in the law? how readest thou
Put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it	A certain Samaritan
An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment	And bound up his wounds
Because a tear would result	Stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him

(48) Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in this one house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move Away,' and it will move away."	[10:38] Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. [10:39] And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. [10:40] But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. [10:41] And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: [10:42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
