Matthew

1 The Genealogy of Jesus Christ ¹ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. ² Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, ³ and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, ⁴ and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, ⁵ and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, ⁶ and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, ⁷ and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, ⁸ and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, ⁹ and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, ¹⁰ and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, ¹¹ and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. ¹² And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, ¹³ and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, ¹⁴ and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, ¹⁵ and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, ¹⁶ and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. ¹⁷ So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. The Birth of Jesus Christ ¹⁸ Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. ²⁰ But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. ²¹ She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” ²² All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: ²³ “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). ²⁴ When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, ²⁵ but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

2 The Visit of the Magi ¹ Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, ² saying, “Where is the Magnificent One Who The King of kings newborn? For we saw the Lo^ꝛdestar when it rose and have come to praise him.” ³ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; ⁴ and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. ⁵ They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: ⁶ “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people and Israel.’” ⁷ Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. ⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” ⁹ After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. ¹⁰ When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. ¹¹ And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. ¹² And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way. The Flight to Egypt ¹³ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” ¹⁴ And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt ¹⁵ and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Herod Kills the Children ¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. ¹⁷ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: ¹⁸ “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.” The Return to Nazareth ¹⁹ But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, ²⁰ saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” ²¹ And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. ²² But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. ²³ And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

3 John the Baptist Prepares the Way ¹ In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, ² “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ³ For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’” ⁴ Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, ⁶ and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. ⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. ⁹ And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. ¹⁰ Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ¹¹ “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹² His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” The Immersion Baptism ¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” ¹⁵ But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill the righteousness.” Then he consented to baptize Him by total immersion. ¹⁶ And at once He got out of it, the God's Almighty 𝕾pirit Who Descended from Above rested on the Messiah, and illuminated all around; ¹⁷ And behold, the voice from the Heaven Above said, “This is My Very 6eloved Son Ƭherefore listen to him.”

4 Temptations of The Devil ^{1 🗦 ◬ 🗧} Then 6y God's Spirit Messiah was led through the stony path into the wilderness to meet with the Devil. ² For forty days he was on his lonesome, fasting during those days, till he got starving. ³ And then appeared the filthy Tempter and said to him, “If you are the God's Son, command these stepping stones to become the loaves of bread.” ⁴ And Messiah said, “It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone nor by words of the evil ghost, just by loaf and words of the Most High Host ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 5} So the Tempter in the distance stepped Messiah up to majestic heights, and being on top of the world, he said to him, ⁶ “If you are the God's Son, throw yourself down from there, for it is written, “God's Duties 6y Seraphim are given to Archangels concerning you, to guard you’ and more over, ‘With Almighty force They shall mighty in their hands support you, and you shall be not dashed on the stepping stones.” ⁷ So Messiah on top of it, said to him, “It is written, ‘The Very ArchGod The Supreme Lord do not put to your all endeavours.’” ⁸ Then anew, the Devilish Tempter to reach the greatest heights, sat Messiah on T́op level GǑ̇D'S T̀hrone, and presented to him the world powers' authorities and dominions with their magnificent influence and riches, saying, “And now, I give You these; ⁹ Making You The ArchSupreme Great Ruling Lord of the world and each living soul; to Reign Supreme over All. And now, the holy one thing only for Me must be done, to show me your gratefulness in return; drive yourself just to the ground to praise me purely Allalone.” ¹⁰ Then Messiah made himself Comfortable ⟑ Staring Kingly at these splendors and supremacy, he said to the filthy♦Devil that was below ‘ᵰ’Lurked around his corner; “‘Be ended up poorly Alland done for in the hellhole from that thou came from!’ For it is written, ‘The V̬̇̽ery ArchGod The 𝕾upreme Lord 6e given the world with its magnificent virtues.’” ¹¹ Then 𝕾atan left Him there And the Very Messiah‘s wishes and needs were served by the Celestial Hierarchy of the Heaven A6ove ^{🗦 `◬´ 🗧} In The Foreign Ministry ¹² Then Jesus returned to his hometown, and when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into foreign regions of Galilee to begin his ministry. ¹³ And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, ¹⁴ so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: ¹⁵ “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— ¹⁶ the people dwelling in darkness have seen the Light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them the Light has dawned.” ¹⁷ From that time Jesus preached, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus Calls the First Disciples ¹⁸ While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” ²⁰ Immediately they left their nets and followed him. ²¹ And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. ²² Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds ²³ And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. ²⁴ So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. ²⁵ And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

5 The Sermon on the Mount ¹ Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. The Beatitudes ² And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: ³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. ⁵ “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. ⁷ “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. ⁸ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. ⁹ “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light ¹³ “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. ¹⁴ “You are the light of the world, just like the city on the hill, that cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to God. The Law ¹⁷ “Do not think I have come to throw down the Law and the Prophets; I have not come to throw them down, but to fill them up with truth and spirit. ¹⁸ And I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even one piece of God's laws will disappear until its purpose is achieved; ¹⁹ So if you ignore the least of God's laws and teach others to avoid them, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; And those who obey God's laws and teach others in the same way will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. ²⁰ For I tell you, unless your justice meets what God requires, to exceed that of the Teachers of the Law and All the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but you will be lost with them in Hell. Anger ²¹ “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ ²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. ²³ So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. ²⁶ Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. Lust ²⁷ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ²⁸ But I say to you that every married man who looks at another woman with sinful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart; And every married woman which looks at another man with sinful intent has already committed adultery with him in her heart. ²⁹ If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. ³⁰ And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. Divorce ³¹ “It was also said, ‘Who divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ ³² But I say to you; Who divorces his wife on an evil basis and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries a divorced man on an evil basis, commits adultery. Oaths ³³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not break your oath, but give the Heavenly God what you promised in an oath to give the Sacred One.’ ³⁴ Nonetheless, I say to you; Do not take an oath neither by Heaven, for it is the Crowning Jewel of God The Lord; ³⁵ nor by the Earth, for it is the footrest of the Sacred One; nor by the holy cities, for they are the bright lights of their Very Supreme Ruler; ³⁶ And do not oath by your soul or by your life, for you allalone the shape of heart shall not change, nor you shall bring yourselves back to life; Just 6y Heavenly God All Might 6e^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 37} Therefore, let the brilliant things you say about be clear and right like; ‘yes’ and ‘no’. For all the rest; the worthless words come from the Evil One. Retaliation ³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ ³⁹ And Truly, I tell you; Resist allabhorrent devils. When one of them slaps you on the right cheek, in return knock him down with the left. ⁴⁰ And when he would sue you to get back his coat, let him also to get back his cloak. ⁴¹ And when they would blandish you to go a mile with them, to put you in deep water; Then go with them three miles to find themselves between Satan and deep blue sea, and bury all of them alive there. ⁴² Just do much more than is required from You, and do not hesitate to give that what they want from You. The 🔥ne Diamond Rule ⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ ⁴⁴ Truly, I say to you; Love the good people and care for them if they need it; And Hate all devils to get rid of allaccursed evil; For the less evil the better. ⁴⁵ Then you might be the sons and daughters of the Almighty God Who makes the sun shine on the good and the same on the devils, and sends rain on the just and the same on the unjust.’ ⁴⁶ Love the good people who love you and do good to those who do good to you, then the treasured good you have will be saved, and a lot more you will get on account of your good heart; to build the Promised Land on the Earth. ⁴⁷ For If you do good to the devils such as the publicans who do evil in return what reward shall you have for that? The r♦tten nature of the snake you cannot change. ⁴⁸ Therefore, it is wise of you to greet only the good people. For they demand the regards too for all the evil they do. Thus guard your heart to not allow them to take your good out of you, at the same time to make one of their devil of you. ⁴⁹ For the Measure of Love is the Justice of God. Keep the good light in your hearts to be one of the beloved and just of 7he Almighty GOD Who 𝕾uper6 ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧}

6 Giving to the Needy ¹ “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Heavenly Father. ² “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in their prayer places and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they already have received their reward. ³ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ so that your giving may be in secret. And Heavenly Father who sees in secret may then reward you. The Godhead's Prayer - Speaking the King's in the language of the Crown Prince ⁵ And Whilé after the silence ruled, the Messiah said, “And when you are going to pray, do not follow all the hypocrites; For they pray only as their all laws demand; But their moaning prayers are heard and seen by no other; But them only. Truly, I say to you, they and their like got allalready the self-illusive rewards. ⁶ So when you are going to pray, go into a room and shut the door; So You might be seen Alone 6y GOD 7he Lord. And One-On-One in Secret You supplicate the world's brilliant lead of All Seeing G^{🗦`◬´🗧}D Who in Secret might it heed. Then Almighty GOD Who Dwells in Secret very heartily supplies each of your need. ⁷ Therefore when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as all the hypocrites do, for they wishfully think that their hollow prayers are answered for their book-learned words and bows. ⁸ The Holy One God knows what is the best for You; Thus His children make daily prayers in this way; ^{9 🗦 ◬ 🗧‘}The V̬̇̽ery ArchGod Ƭhe 𝕾upreme Host ¹⁰ Thy wish comes true, like thy rewarding due; The Very Kingdom Come, to bring for ÚS The Ėternal H̀ome ¹¹ Right here below; Give Me Your brilliant Spirit and daily bread, to live the best off life in Your Love on Earth. ^{12 🗦 ◬ 🗧} And Guard Me with Almighty Left arm from All The Evil ♦ne'S harm ¹³ In Thou God Sanctified I trust, to reach the Heavenly Hearth like the Just; Your's the Supreme Kingdom—the light ‘̨♡‘ life—the Everlasting One ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 14} “So when you remit too all the others their wickedness done; God The Same to hell and gone remits your allas one. ¹⁵ Thus You, being firmly ingrained in the Holy One's belief, out of your God The Secret Gift receive. Fasting ¹⁶ “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ¹⁷ So when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, ¹⁸ that your fasting might be seen 6y Alone God Who Dwells in Secret; So He The One Who in Secret sees might then reward you.” Lay Up Treasures in Heaven ¹⁹ “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, ²⁰ but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where evildoers and thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ Where is the secret crown of thy life ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} there is the precious jewel of thy very heart. ^🗦22🗧 The Eye is the Lamp of the body; When the Eye is Good—burning Absolute^{🗦 ◬ 🗧}Divine Light—Then Good is the body. Just like the WéllKept Secret of The Hidden One God; Who One's Divine sparkles spreads in the Living's Treasured Hearts. ²³ And When Your Eye grow to the Evil One 7he Same 6ody is then the Devil One Who Scatters death in the people Allaround. So when Got Darkness in the 6ody ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Very Leading Light; in the great powers' world; What a sight to behold is 7hat Supreme One's Might ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 24} Therefore cannot serve All Lords; as to the one you full of submission will be to serve badly the others; on the other side; You will be steadfast in The ¤ne's Right principle to overthrow all the others; Thus spy out that the false g♦ds cannot be served. The V̬̇̽ery ArchGod The 𝕾upreme Lord You Ever firmly serve ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Hóly One God arrays ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the heavens: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and the Heavenly One God feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷ And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? ²⁸ And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, ²⁹ and I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not robed like one of these. ³⁰ So If God arrays that grass of the earth, that in sunlight whispers at the seaside wind, but in twilight it burns allalready into the ember ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} So what 𝕾upreme Magnificence ArchGod Might Very WéIl The Man ŒNDOW ⍵ith?! ³¹ O You the poor devils in spirit, O You of little faith; Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things. And the Heavenly One God knows what you really wish for. ³³ In order to love and justice be carried out like in the Kingdom of God so on the Earth You Will yet Have these things. ³⁴ Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

7 Judging Others ¹ “You The Good people Just do not judge, and you won't be judged. ² For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. ³ Why do you see some chips in your brothers' eyes, but do not notice the plank that is in your own eye? ⁴ And how can you say to even one of them, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? ⁵ You hypocrites; First cast out the beam that is in your own eye, and then you may deal with His one ^{6🗦 ◬ 🗧} WhatEver Sanctified by the good men, will be not bestowed on the evil one's people; And Even one pearl will not be thrown away to swines tread it underfoot. For The Very God The Wrath Shal7 bring down on them all after that; to end up their all existence six feet below ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} Just Got What Wéll Wished for ⁷ “‘When You request for something good you want, it will be given to you; WhatEver you are looking for, you will get; The sacred sign give and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For WhoEver pureheartedly asks receives, and the same one who searches finds, and to the one that knocks the gates will be opened at once. ⁹ And which one of you, if your son requests for the loaf, will give him the stone? ¹⁰ Or if he requests for the sea eel, will give him the serpent? ¹¹ If you then who are devil's workers can give great things to your children; Then know how more profitable ones than yours, The Holy One Lord Might give to those Which Love.’ A Diamond Rule ¹² ‘So whatever you need that others would do good to you, do so to those who do that, to build the Heaven on the Earth; for this is the keystone of the Laws and the Prophets.’” ¹³ “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. ¹⁴ For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to the Immortal life, and those who find it are few.” A Tree and Its Fruit ¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. ¹⁸ A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. I Never Knew You ²¹ “Not everyone who says to me, ‘6eloved God's Son,’ will enter Paradise, but only those who do the wish of The Hóly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 22} For Someday many living souls will say to me, ‘7he Holy One Lord 6y Your Right name we prophesied, and on the other hand, we did the Almighty works Sentencing all devils with their allaccursed evil to eternal doom.’ ²³ And I'Il say to them allat that time; ‘I do not want to know you, and your like; the Evil One's servants; be dead alland gone in the depths of Abaddon.’ House on the Rock ²⁴ “WhóEver hears my words and does them is like the sharpwitted man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ When the rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it left standing firmly, for it was İmbedded in the Rocky Mountain. ²⁶ And those who hear my words and do not do them are like dimwits who built their houses on the shifting sands. ²⁷ When the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds beat and blew into their houses; they fell allapart forthwith falling down to the ground, and all ended up ruined down below.” ²⁸ And when He finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, ²⁹ for he was teaching them like the one who is in authority, and not like their all high priests.

8 Jesus Cleanses a Leper ¹ When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. ² And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” ³ And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ And Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” The Faith of a Centurion ⁵ When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, ⁶ “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” ⁷ And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” ⁸ But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” ¹⁰ When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. ¹¹ I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, ¹² while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” ¹³ And to the centurion Jesus said, “Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment. Jesus Heals Many ¹⁴ And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵ He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him. ¹⁶ That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. ¹⁷ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” The Cost of Following Jesus ¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. ¹⁹ And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” ²⁰ And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” ²¹ Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” ²² And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.” Jesus Calms a Storm ²³ And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. ²⁴ And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. ²⁵ And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” ²⁶ And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷ And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” Jesus Heals Two Men with Demons ²⁸ And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. ²⁹ And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, the Very God's Son, You came here to lead us all to our downfall.” ³⁰ Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. ³¹ And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us allas one into the herd of pigs.” ³² And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the herd of pigs rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and all demons suddenly disappeared in the depths of deep water. ³³ The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told what took place there, especially what had happened to the demons. ³⁴ And behold, the people of the city came out to meet him, and when they saw Him, they were terrified and begged him to leave them alone.

9 Jesus Heals a Paralytic ¹ And accomplished a miracle on them too, he crossed over and came to his own city. ² And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.” ³ And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” ⁴ But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? ⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? ⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” ⁷ And he rose and went home. ⁸ When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men. Jesus Calls Matthew ⁹ As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. ¹⁰ And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. ¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” ¹² But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. ' ¹³ Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” A Question About Fasting ¹⁴ Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” ¹⁵ And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. ¹⁶ No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. ¹⁷ Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.” A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed ¹⁸ While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” ¹⁹ And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. ²⁰ And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, ²¹ for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” ²² Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well. ²³ And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, ²⁴ he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. ²⁵ But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. ²⁶ And the report of this went through all that district. Jesus Heals Two Blind Men ²⁷ And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” ²⁸ When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” ²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.” ³¹ But they went away and spread his fame through all that district. Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak ³² As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him. ³³ And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” ³⁴ And the Pharisees said, “With The King of Devils he sends to hell all devils.” The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few ³⁵ And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; ³⁸ therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

10 The Twelve Apostles ¹ And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. ² The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles ⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. ⁹ Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, ¹⁰ no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. ¹¹ And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. ¹² As you enter the house, greet it. ¹³ And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. ¹⁵ Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. Persecution Will Come ¹⁶ “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. ¹⁷ Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, ¹⁸ and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. ¹⁹ When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. ²⁰ For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ²¹ Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, ²² and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ²³ When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. ²⁴ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the Lord of the Home Baalzəbul, how much more will they call the rest of the Heavenly One God. Have No Fear ²⁶ “Thus have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. ²⁷ What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. ²⁸ And do not fear those that despoil the soul to kill the body. All deeds of their life make a key to their next one; You should be terrified of 7hat FearSome One Who wields the keys of Abaddon; For I tell you, from that place all those bodies and souls never rise again. Truly, fear 7hat One Pandemonium. ²⁹ Is not in this world selling life for a penny? Truly, I tell you; None of them is forgotten 6y The Hóly One God ³⁰ Whom is known each thought of your heart. ³¹ Nonetheless; Do not be frightened by that, just raise your heart instead; Your worth is greater than many of them. ³² Thus WhóEver 6rings to light that is after my own heart, I Then 6y The Hóly One God Whisper it ♡ut to be heard Ẃhich ⟐ne Ẁholly is after my own heart. ³³ And all the men that disown the Just; Then 6y The Hóly One God 7he 𝕾ame will be all disowned.” No Peace Just Sword ³⁴ “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon y'all; I have not come like the Dove that brings peace; Just like the Little Boy that brings the Sword of God upon y'all's World. ³⁵ There will be all fathers against sons, and all mothers against daughters. ³⁶ And the people's deadly enemies will be all those of their own households. ³⁷ Who loves father or mother more than The Holy One God is not worthy of me, and who loves son or daughter more than The Holy One God is not worthy of me. ³⁸ Everyone who does not bear the Holy One's light of life and go with me is not worthy of me. ³⁹ Whoever finds only one's own life loses it, and whoever loses one's own life for The Holy One God Might find it and save it.

11 Messengers from John the Baptist ¹ When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. ² Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples ³ and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” ⁴ And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: ⁵ the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. ⁶ And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” ⁷ As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. ⁹ What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, Verily And Something greater than a prophet. ¹⁰ This is he of whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ ¹¹ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³ For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. ¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶ “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, ¹⁷ “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ ¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ ¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” Woe to Unrepentant Cities ²⁰ Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. ²¹ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²² But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. ²³ And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴ But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.” Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest ²⁵ At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; ²⁶ Yes, Father, for that was your gracious wish. ²⁷ All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. ²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my Yoke upon You and Live 6y the Word of the Heavenly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} I Am 6y thy Hearts the True and the Light, to lighten up your souls. ³⁰ For My Yoke is the Absolute Good and my burden is the Everlasting Light.’”

12 Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath ¹ At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. ² But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” ³ He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: ⁴ how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? ⁵ Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? ⁶ I tell you, Something greater than the temple is here. ⁷ Truly I tell you, if you had known what means the Word of 7he One Heavenly God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} Who Love Demands far more than y'all's burnt-offerings here; then in the world you would also respectfully A6andon Damning the 7ust The Same ⁸ The Son of Man is the Lord of the Holy Days.” A Man with a Withered Hand ⁹ He went on from there and entered their synagogue. ¹⁰ And a leper man was there with a withered hand. And they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” ¹¹ He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? ¹² Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” ¹³ Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. ¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him. God's Chosen Servant ¹⁵ Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all ¹⁶ and ordered them not to make him known. ¹⁷ This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: ¹⁸ “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; ²⁰ a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory; ²¹ and in his name the Gentiles will hope.” Holy One Ghost & All Blasphemers Against It ²² Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. ²³ And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can that one be the Son of David?” ²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man casts out devils by Baalzebub the prince of devils.” ²⁵ And knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Country divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. ²⁶ And If Satan Casts away his satans; Then His Kingdom is divided, &allas one come to a bad end and their whole kingd♦m falls into pieces. ²⁷ And if I cast out devils by Baalzebub as you claim, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore 7ust The Same 6y them shall be you all sentenced to death. ²⁸ And if 6y The Almighty God Whose So Might I send All♦Demons to their doom in the depths of Abaddon, then Verily God's Kingdom is at hand. ²⁹ And No One enters the Mighty Man's Home to take the Man's goods out of it; First That Someone Chains the Mighty One Down to take Àllaffluence out of the Home! ³⁰ For WhoEver dispel does not collect with Me And with Me does not do justice to the needs is against me that man. ³¹ Truly I tell you, the blasphemy and wickedness will be forgiven Everyone, but the blasphemy and wickedness against the Hóly One Ghost Might not be forgiven. ³² Thus Who speaks or does against The One God's Man; shall be redeemed by justice, and few only be forgiven. Nonetheless Allaccursed people that disgrace the Almighty🗦 One 🗧Who forEver And Ever is given; shall not be forgiven, neither in this age nor in any age to come. A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit ³³ “Either the tree is good and its fruit is wholesome, or the tree is bad and its fruit is rotten; for the tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴ You brood of vipers; How can you speak good and right, when you are All♦Devil's snakes? For y'all's mouths speak what the goblet of thy hearts is full of. ³⁵ The good person out of the good treasure brings forth good, so the evil person out of his evil one brings forth evil. ³⁶ I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for each word they speak; ³⁷ for by your good words you will be justified and by your evil words you will be condemned.” The Sign of Jonah ³⁸ Then one of the Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” ³⁹ But he answered them, “The evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. ⁴⁰ For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ⁴¹ The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. ⁴² The Crescent Moon's Queen with the Just shall rise up at the judgment day against that Allaccursed generation, to sentence all of them to etrnal fire. For She came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and 6ehold Something Greater than Solomon is here ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} Return of the Evil One Spirit ⁴³ “When the evil spirit went out of a man, it passed through waterless places seeking rest, but found none. ⁴⁴ Then it said, ‘I will return to my Home from which I came.’ And when it came, it found put in order the Home. ⁴⁵ Then it brought seven other demons more evil than itself; Satan, Baalzabaal, Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Belphegor. And the Hidden Spirits Secretly entered the Man Who Got Devil 6y Them. And their allattained last state turned into the fatal one, and then came their All Magnificent Days 6y Him ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Messiah's Brothers ⁴⁶ And While He was speaking to the people, his mother and his brothers stood outside asking to speak to him. ⁴⁸ But he said to the man who told him that, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” ⁴⁹ And raising one hand toward the Heaven Above and the other one toward the people, he said, “Here are my brothers and mother. ⁵⁰ For Who does the wishes of the Almighty GOD Who holds Sway over all things is my brother and sister, and mother and father.”

13 The Parable of the Sower ¹ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. ² And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. ³ And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. ⁵ Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, ⁶ but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. ⁷ Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. ⁸ Other seeds fell on the good soil and produced great fruits; a hundredfold, a seventyfold, and some sixtyfold. ⁹ He who has ears, let him hear.” The Purpose of the Parables ¹⁰ Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” ¹¹ And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. ¹² For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. ¹³ This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. ¹⁴ Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive. ¹⁵ For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ ¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷ For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. The Parable of the Sower ¹⁸ “Hear then the parable of the sower: ¹⁹ When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. ²⁰ As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, ²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. ²² As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. ²³ As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another seventy, and in another sixty.” The Parable of the Wheat ²⁴ He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, ²⁵ but while his men were 'sleeping', his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. ²⁶ So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. ²⁷ And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ ²⁸ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ ²⁹ But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. ³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, to gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, and the wheat gather into my barn.’” The Holy Grain ³¹ Then Messiah told them the parable About the Kingdom. “The Promised Land is like the holy grain of lovegrass; That Man's Got and raised in the sunlight. ³² And the holy grain was the smallest of all grains, but when it grew; The Holy One was greater than Allaround it; And in the entire garden ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Arch𝕾upreme Great Being with Magnificence surrounded ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} So Every one of the Heavens' feathered 6irds' bunches; was flocked together and nested tight on the Great One's Branches ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Barm ³³ Then he told them another of his prime parables, “The God's Kingdom is like the barm; And one hid it in the flour, till from the dough had risen the high-grade merchandise 6y Evenly baking ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Divine parables ³⁴ And these things were unveiled to them; And he said nothing to them without the Hidden parables. ³⁵ And Comes True what was said by the prophet: “I'Il say in parables and reveal what's been from the beginning Hidden.” The Parable of the Weeds ³⁶ When the night was drawing near, he left the crowds and went to his disciples sitting nearby at the fireplace. And then one of them said to him, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” ³⁷ So Messiah Cleared it up, saying, “The one who sows the good seeds is the Son of Man, ³⁸ and the good seeds are the sons of the Heavenly One God. The Kingdom is the field, that is the World. And the weeds are the sons of evil, ³⁹ and the Adversary who sowed them is the Evil One. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. ⁴⁰ As the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age; ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send his Angels into the Kingdom, and they will root out All Devils and Evildoers from the World, ⁴² to be Allat the end thrown into the blazing furnace. In that hellish place, the Evil Ones will die in agony and purgatory () ⁴³ And then like the evening stars A6ove illuminating Heaven in the Crescent Moon's Light ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Hóly 🔥ne's 7ust The Same like the Morning Sun Will light up the World.

The Parable of the Net ⁴⁷ “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the Net in the Sea collecting fish of Every Kind ⁴⁸ Once the Net was filled with fish, the men drew it out on the shore; And then from it they chose the big fishes, the good and the Ƃad ones; Who took out all the worthless to place them into the rubbish bags. ⁴⁹ And at the end of the age, and for a New ♡ne of the Light ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Very ArchGod‘s 𝕾eraphim shall enter into the world to set apart The Holy One's Good and The Just ⁵⁰ from The Evil One-linked people to Putı̀n Devouring Fire AllDevils.

Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶ And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” ⁵⁷ And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” ⁵⁸ And he did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

14 The Death of John the Baptist ¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, ² and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” ³ For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, ⁴ because John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” ⁵ And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a great prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, ⁷ so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. ⁸ Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” ⁹ And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. ¹⁰ He sent and had John beheaded in the prison, ¹¹ and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus. Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand ¹³ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. ¹⁴ When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. ¹⁵ Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” ¹⁶ But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” ¹⁷ They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” ¹⁸ And he said, “Bring them here to me.” ¹⁹ Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. ²⁰ And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. ²¹ And those who ate were about five thousand men. Jesus Walks on the Water ²² Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. ²³ And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, ²⁴ but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. ²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. ²⁶ But when the disciples saw him walking on water, they were terrified, and said, “It is The Holy Ghost!” and they cried out in fear. ²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” ²⁸ And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” ²⁹ He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” ³¹ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” ³² And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. ³³ And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret ³⁴ And when they had crossed over, they came to new land. ³⁵ And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were not a well men. ³⁶ and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.

15 Traditions and Commandments ¹ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, ² “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” ³ He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ ⁵ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” ⁶ he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. ⁷ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: ⁸ “‘These people worship me with their empty words, and their hearts are far from me; ⁹ in vain do they worship, teaching the commandments of men instead of The Heavenly One God.’” What Defiles a Person ¹⁰ And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand: ¹¹ The good thing that goes into you cannot defile you, but all that what comes out of you can defile you and the others.” ¹² Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” ¹³ And He answered, “Every plant that Heavenly God has not planted will be rooted up. ¹⁴ Let them alone, they are blind guides; For when the blind leads the blinds, then will fall all into the pit.” ¹⁵ But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” ¹⁶ And he said, “Are you also without understanding? ¹⁷ Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and it is expelled? ¹⁸ But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from your heart, and this is what defiles the men. ¹⁹ For out of the evil-filled soul, comes out all evil. ²⁰ Thus, to eat with hands to be washed not ritually, cannot defile anyone.” The Faith of the Canaanite Woman ²¹ Then Jesus Christ set out from there and with his followers he went into the district of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And then a Canaanite woman from that region came, and cried out, saying, “O Divine Son of Ibrahim, have mercy on me like on those before, for my daughter is oppressed by demons.” ²³ But he did not answer her a word, but then his followers begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” ²⁴ Then Jesus said to her, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” ²⁵ And knowing Him, before him she knelt and said, “O Divine Sire Rahim The Same hand some mercy into the hands of Mine.” ²⁶ So Christ said to her, “It is not right to take bread from the children and throw it to the dogs.” ²⁷ And at 🔥nce She raised herself Above all to answer him, “Listen! 𝐴lso the dog under the Holy One's Table feeds on the heap of scraps from his children's pots.” ²⁸ And He said to her, “WéIl said; Your Demand is Granted.” And at once her daughter was set free from suffering, and the demons were gone. Jesus Casts out Demons and Heals Many ²⁹ Then Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there. ³⁰ And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, ³¹ so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel. Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand ³² Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” ³³ And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” ³⁴ And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” ³⁵ And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, ³⁶ he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. ³⁷ And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. ³⁸ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. ³⁹ And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

16 The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs ¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. ² He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ ³ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the present time. ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees ⁵ When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. ⁶ Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” ⁷ And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” ⁸ But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? ⁹ Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? ¹⁰ Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? ¹¹ How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” ¹² Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The Confesses of Peter ¹³ Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” ¹⁴ And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah; one of the prophets.” ¹⁵ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” ¹⁶ Then Simon Peter said, “You are the Son of the Heavenly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 17} And He said to him, “Blessed are you! For the flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, Just the Holy One God. ¹⁸ And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. ^{19 🗦 ◬ 🗧}‘Verily I Am 🔥ne 7he Holy Who gives you the keys of Life and Death; to the World, the Kingdom of Heaven and Abaddon. Thus what you bind on earth shall be bound in the Kingdom of Heaven and Abaddon, and what you lose on earth shall be loosed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Abaddon.” ²⁰ And He charged the disciples to tell no one Who He is ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Christ's Death& Promise of The Resurrection ²¹ From that time the Messiah was showing his disciples that the Christ must go to Jerusalem, to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, to be at the end killed and raised on the third day into new life. ²² Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Over my dead body it might take place the Lord. ²³ And then Messiah said, “You poor devil, batten down__7he Hatches; For you prey on men's weaknesses instead of to pray the Heavenly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} Take Up Your Cross ²⁴ Then Messiah told his disciples, “WhoEver wants to come with Me, let one deny oneself and obey the Word of the Heavenly One God. ²⁵ For Everyone that wants save one's life loses it; And Who loses his life 6y true of Me and the Word of God Might save it. ²⁶ For what will it profit the man; who's Bı̀dden down his soul for the Evil ♦ne that Barracked him up before anybody Blinked twice; to gain authority in the whole world. And after that is there any hope at the Gates of Hell for that sort of men, to get out of the depths of Abaddon. ²⁷ Truly, I say to you, that is the Coming of the Son of Man with the Holy One's Host Who Älmighty 𝕾hal7 repay Allaccording to their deeds; to such Ìllhanded guides irretrievably end up in Hellholes. ²⁸ Truly, I tell you; There are people in the world who shall not taste death till that day of the Very God's Son.

17 The Metamorphosis ¹ About six or seven days after he had said these things, He led Peter, John, and James to the garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives; For His heart was set on prayer in secret on top of it. ² And Messiah immersed himself in praying that was changing him mysteriously, and some predominant mystique began to surround him so brightly that stars and the moon were outshone, and allaround darkness got overshadowed by him ^{🗦`◬´🗧 3</sup> And behold, great luminaries brought themselves to light, and revealed Elijah talking with Messiah. <sup>4</sup> Then one of the followers not knowing what to do, said from a distance to him, “Lord, is it good that we are here yet?” But when he was saying that <sup>5</sup> At Once the Mysterious Darkness covered them and horrifying silence fell. And from the inside the Hidden voice said, “Hear My Son the V̬̇̽ery 6lessed Who I AM 𝕾atisfied 6y<sup>🗦`◬´🗧 6} On hearing that; the voice-bound disciples fell to the ground, and were terrified to move and look, being watched throughout. ⁷ And then from the great beyond in the heat lightning he returned, and said to them, “Rise, there is No One to fear.” ⁸ And they timidly lifted up their eyes, and noticed Just the Very Messiah lightSome. ⁹ Then they went out from this place, but being still frightened they kept silent. All Seeing that, He said to them, “No one might know that vision until the Very God's Son over the stars is exalted for Ever^{🗦`◬´🗧 10} And then disciples asked him, “Why do then scribes say that first Elijah must come?” ¹¹ And He said, “Elijah does come, to restore all things. ¹² Nonetheless, I tell you that Came Already Elijah, but they did not recognize him; And what they wanted, they did to him; So that Christ's All blood and death might be their share.” ¹³ Then disciples understood what About was speaking to them. The boy And The Demon ¹⁴ And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him, ¹⁵ said, “Lord, have mercy on my boy, for he suffers terribly; For he is either afire or in deep waters. ¹⁶ And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.” ¹⁷ He answered them, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” ¹⁸ And He rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly and endowed with blessings. ¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Him privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” ²⁰ And He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of seed, you will say to this mount, ²¹ ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” The Prophecy of Death and Resurrection ²² As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “Christ is about to be delivered into the hands of men, ²³ and they will kill him, and he will rise the third day.” And they were greatly distressed to listen to it. The Temple Tax ²⁴ Then they came to Capernaum, and the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” ²⁵ He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” ²⁶ And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. ²⁷ However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”

18 Who Is the Greatest? ¹ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” ² And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them ³ and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like this child, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whoever humbles himself to be like the one of children is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ “And Whoever receives one of these little ones in God's behalf; receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me Just The Holy One Who 𝕾ent me ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 6} When a man causes evil to the little ones who are beloved o'The Holy One God. Let then someone fasten a great millstone around his neck to drown him in deep waters. Temptations to Sin ⁷ “Woe to the world for temptations to the mortal sin! For temptations to the mortal sin come, but death to those who are the cause of that! ⁸ When your hand or your foot causes you to the evil, cut it off and throw it away; for it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into hell. ⁹ When your eye causes you to the evil, tear it out and throw it away; for it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell. ¹⁰ Therefore you shall not leave the hell, to despise the little ones; for the Holy One's Host is looking into their hearts to raise in the purity of the Heavenly loving Heart ^{🗦`◬´🗧} The Parable of the Lost Sheep ¹¹ The Very God's Son is here to save The ♡ne lost. ¹² “If a man has a horde of sheep and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the sixty-six on the mountain to go in search of the one that got hidden in the bush? ¹³ And when he finds it, honestly, he takes it and holds it in his loving embrace to rejoice about the one more than over the sixty-six. ¹⁴ Thus, it is the wish of the Heavenly One God to save each one of these little ones from the Evil One.” If People Do Evil To You ¹⁵ “If people are doing wrong to You, At Once, You tell them all their fault. If they listen to you and make compensation to you for their past wrongs, then you will have them free from guilt. ¹⁶ But if they do not listen to you, then take two or three of your men with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. ¹⁷ If they refuse to listen to them, tell it to the Temple; And if they refuse The Holy One; Then let them go their way down below, they are allas manure heap worth their place in the pit-hole. ¹⁸ Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and Abaddon, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven and Abaddon. ¹⁹ I say to you, if two or three agree here below About Something Good, it might be done for them 6y God. ²⁰ For I AM, where two or three Wise Men talk About 7ustice and Love of the Heavenly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant ²¹ Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” ²² Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, as it depends on that what he has done. ²³ “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴ When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵ And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ ²⁷ And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ ²⁹ So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ ³⁰ He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. ³¹ When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. ³² Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. ³³ And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ ³⁴ And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. ³⁵ So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

19 Teaching About Divorce ¹ Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. ² And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. ³ And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?” ⁴ And Massiah said, “The Almighty Gǒ̇D Who 𝕾acred soulmates created; The Holy One's 𝕾upreme Great Ṁatch made in Paradise; So on the Earth; WéIl endowed Man and Woman; ⁵ They leave their fathers and their mothers to tie the knot. ⁶ So they are no longer two, 7ust One 6ody ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} What in Heaven Above was united together, neither the living nor death on the earth undo it not.” ⁷ And they said to him, “Then why did Moses command us to give a divorce certificates and send the women away?” ⁸ And He said to them, “Because of the unrighteousness of your souls and hardness of your hearts, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives; but it would not be so, if you were living by heart of the Almighty GOD Who So handed your fathers down in the Law. ⁹ Therefore, I say to you; Who divorces his wife and takes or marries another woman—on the evil basis—commits adultery, and whoever takes or marries a divorced man—on the evil basis—commits adultery. With The WholeSome Exception of ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Very One Who paradisal love and the light 6rings into dimming hearths.” [He declared that other exceptions are forbidden; such as gays, sodomists, pederasts, pedophiles, etc.; all that pervert the human image of God; Must be cured or killed mercifully, but the last ones without exception must be killed first off] ¹⁰ And then his disciples began to argue the matter with Pharisees and allamassed people, and then they said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry; because we alland our holy orders are already condemned!” ¹¹ Then he said to his disciples, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. ¹² For there are unmated who have been made unmated by people, and there are unwedded who have been made themselves unwedded. And lastly there are Some Célibates Who chose the life in célibacy for the sake of the Realm of Heaven. The Very One Who is able to receive it, let the one receive it ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} The KingD♡m of Heaven and the children ¹³ Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and bless them, but the disciples began to rebuke all these people. ¹⁴ And then Messiah said, “Leave them alone, and bring their children to me and do not hinder them, for to these little ones belong the Heavenly Kingdom The Same.” ¹⁵ And So He 6lessed them and went then away. The Rich Man ¹⁶ And behold, the rich man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have the eternal life?” ¹⁷ And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? No One is so good like The Heavenly One God. If you would enter life, keep the commandments written in the Law.” ¹⁸ He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “The good ones written in the Law of Musa; ¹⁹ ‘Love The Heavenly GOD 7he Sanctified Lord; to not kill, to not betray, to not steal, and to not bear false witness; towards the goodhearted people of GOD^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 20} The young man said to him, “Absolute Every One of the Laws I have kept. Which one is missing yet?” ²¹ The Messiah said to him, “If You would like to 6e the Great Man; Then go to the markets; And whatever sto̰ck go͇ods you bought at once sell so that derived profits take you back to the point where it make you able to share with the poor. And You Will Have in Paradise the greatest treasures of all here below. If you are able to receive it, then you may go with Me ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 22} When the man heard this, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions, and he was unwilling to share his goods with others. ²³ And the Messiah said to his disciples, “Truly, I tell you; That kind of rich shall definitely not see the Paradise; ²⁴ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for people like that rich to enter the Promised Land to live the Immortal life of Abundance.” ²⁵ When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” ²⁶ Then the Messiah looked at them and said, “With that sort of people it is impossible at all. Just with The Heavenly One God^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 27} Then Peter said in reply, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” ²⁸ Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. ³⁰ And many who are first will be last, and the last first.

20 Laborers in the Vineyard ¹ “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. ² After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. ³ And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, ⁴ and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ ⁵ So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. ⁶ And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ ⁷ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ ⁸ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ ⁹ And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. ¹⁰ Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. ¹¹ And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, ¹² saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ ¹³ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? ¹⁴ Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. ¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with mine own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’ ¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last.” Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time ¹⁷ And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, ¹⁸ “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death ¹⁹ and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.” A Mother's Request ²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. ²¹ And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” ²² Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” ²³ He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” ²⁴ And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. ²⁵ But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ²⁶ It shall not be so with you. All those who want to be great, shall be your slaves. ²⁷ And all those who want to be first, shall be your servants. ²⁸ For Christ came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for all people.” Jesus Heals Two Blind Men ²⁹ And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. ³⁰ And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” ³¹ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” ³² And stopping, Jesus called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” ³³ They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” ³⁴ And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.

21 The Triumphal Entry ¹ Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ² saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. ³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” ⁴ This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, ⁵ “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” ⁶ The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. ⁷ They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. ⁸ Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. ⁹ And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were crying out, “Hosanna, 6lessed is the Very King Who Comes in God's name! Blessed the Son of David. ¹⁰ And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” ¹¹ And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus Christ, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Jesus Cleanses the Temple ¹² And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. ¹³ He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be the H́ome of Love and The Word of The Heavenly One God ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧}6ut you make it a den of Allaccursed Evil.” ¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Blessed the Son of David!” they were indignant, ¹⁶ and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise” ¹⁷ And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there. Jesus Curses the Fig Tree ¹⁸ In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. ¹⁹ And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once. ²⁰ When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” ²¹ And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. ²² And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” The Authority of Jesus Challenged ²³ And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” ²⁴ Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, from where did it come? From heaven or from man?” And they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we say, ‘From man,’ we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet.” ²⁷ So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. The Parable of the Two Sons ²⁸ “What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. ³⁰ And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him. The Parable of the Tenants ³³ “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. ³⁴ When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. ³⁵ And the tenants took his servants and beat one to death and stoned another. ³⁶ So he sent other servants, more than the first; And they did as they pleased killing them also. ³⁷ Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ ³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ ³⁹ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard to kill him. ⁴⁰ And when the owner of the vineyard suddenly comes to their doorstep, what will he do to those tenants? ⁴¹ Truly I tell you, He shall put all the evildoers to death, and shall give the vineyard to other tenants; Who might make it the most profitable one, to give him just share of their labor.” ⁴² And Whilé after He looked upon them in silence, and said; “Did you never read in the scriptures about it ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} ‘The stone that all the builders rejected, revealed to be the jewel in the Crown 🔥‘The Arch𝕾upreme Great Being Lord of L̻ords.’” ⁴³ Therefore y'all's riches and kingdom will be taken away from you, and given to His Very 6eloved And 7ust People who turn the World into Hea♡en on Earth. ⁴⁴ All Who fall on that stone will be dead; And when it falls on the Adversaries, it will destroy all of them. ⁴⁵ When All the Supreme Leaders and Chiefs with all their people heard this parable, they perceived that He was speaking about them. ⁴⁶ But Although cantingly they began talks to overthrow Him, all had gone down the drain since they got scared to death of The Fiery Observers Who held Him Allat ıt to 6e the Greatest of Prophets ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧}

22 The Parable of the Wedding Feast ¹ And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, ² “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, ³ and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’ ⁵ But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, ⁶ while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. ⁷ The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. ⁸ Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. ⁹ Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. ¹¹ “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. ¹² And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. ¹³ Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ ¹⁴ For many are called, but few are chosen.” Paying Taxes to Caesar ¹⁵ Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. ¹⁶ And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. ¹⁷ Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” ¹⁸ But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? ¹⁹ Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. ²⁰ And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” ²¹ They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Give what is Caesar's to Caesar; What God's give the Holy One God.” ²² When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away. About the Resurrection ²³ The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, ²⁴ saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.’ ²⁵ Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ So too the second and third, down to the seventh. ²⁷ After them all, the woman died. ²⁸ In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.” ²⁹ And He answered them, “You know neither the scriptures nor the God's Might. ³⁰ For those who are in this world considered worthy of the resurrection from the dead into Paradise, they shall neither marry nor be given in marriage. They are now the Chosen Ones of the Resurrection; Just like Divine 6eings ⟑ 7he Supreme Great Beings Endless-Lasting. ³¹ About the dead being raised, you might read in the book of Moses; when God says to him; ^{32 🗦`◬´🗧} “‘Verily I Am 🔥ne 7he Holy God o'Abraham, o'Isaac, and o'Jacob.’ God is not God of the dead only, but of the living too. The Very One Lord of Life and Death. So Every Man Lives 6y The One. ³³ And they were all amazed and marveled at his words. The Great Commandment ³⁴ But when the Pharisees heard it, they silenced all the people thronging around him, and they gathered together to confer. ³⁵ And then one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. ³⁶ “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ And he said to him, “Love The Heavenly One God; with your might and mind, with your heart and soul, and with your flesh and blood.” ³⁸ This is the great and first commandment; ³⁹ And the second one is like The Holy One Above; ‘Treat all your neighbors just like 7he Holy God The Lord.’ ⁴⁰ On these two commandments depend the Laws and the Prophets.” Whose Son Is the Christ? ⁴¹ Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, ⁴² saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” ⁴³ He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, ^{44 🗦 ◬ 🗧} The Hóly One Lord said to Him, Sit at My Right hand And I My Left hand put down all your enemies dead under your feet’ ⁴⁵ If then David calls him the Lord, how is he his son?” ⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

23 Seven Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees ¹ Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ² “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, ³ so practice and observe whatever they tell you—but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice. ⁴ They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. ⁵ They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, ⁶ and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues ⁷ and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. ⁸ But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. ⁹ And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. ¹¹ The greatest among you shall be your servant. ¹² Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. ¹³ “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. ¹⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. ¹⁶ “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ ¹⁷ You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? ¹⁸ And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ ¹⁹ You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? ²⁰ So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. ²¹ And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. ²² And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it. ²³ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. ²⁴ You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! ²⁵ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. ²⁷ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. ²⁸ So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. ²⁹ “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, ³⁰ saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ ³¹ Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. ³² Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. ³³ You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? ³⁴ Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of them they will kill and crucify, and some of them they will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, ³⁵ so that on you all may come the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of innocent Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. ³⁶ Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Lament over Jerusalem ³⁷ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! ³⁸ See, your house is left to you desolate. ³⁹ For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Hosanna, 6lessed is The Holy One Who comes in the name of the Heavenly One God ^🗦◬🗧

24 Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple ¹ Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. ² But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” Signs of the Close of the Age ³ As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” ⁴ And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. ⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. ⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. ⁹ “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. ¹⁰ And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. ¹¹ And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. ¹² And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. ¹³ But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. The Abomination of Desolation ¹⁵ “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), ¹⁶ then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁷ Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, ¹⁸ and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. ¹⁹ And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! ²⁰ Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. ²¹ For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. ²² And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. ²³ Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe them, and do not go from the pillar to the post. ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ So I have told you that beforehand. ²⁶ If they say to you, ‘Look, he is here; in the Home of God,’ do not go into the Mass. If they say, ‘Look, there he is; in the outside world,’ do not look around for him there either; ²⁷ 6ehold Above Ƭhe Pole Star that Illuminates the Heavens from the east to the west; For, I tell you; 7ust The Same God‘s Very leading light for the world shall 6e ^🗦◬🗧 7he 𝕾upreme ArchGod‘s V̬̇̽ery 'Son' ²⁸ Where is the Great Eagle Above, there is the Very Lion‘s Cut of All♦Dead Body.’ ²⁹ “Right after those days of suffering and oppression, the forces of heaven and earth will be shaken, and the sun and the moon will not give their light. ³⁰ Then darkness will tear apart and its stars will fall down from their grace into their hated states, so allamassed evil's servants of the world will be taken aback and frightened to death seeing then ^🗦◬🗧 7he 𝕾on in the Älmighty Majesty ⟑ Devouring fire wiping out the Evil ♦ne of the world. ³¹ And by The Celestial Hierarchy; He shall make things right to collect his chosen from the end of Hell through the Earth till the beginning of Heaven^🗦◬🗧 The FIG Tree ³² “From the fig tree learn its lesson; When you see that it puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³ So when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. ³⁴ Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all that takes place. ³⁵ Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. No One Knows That Day ³⁶ “And concerning that day no one knows, neither the Angels of Heaven nor the Men of the World nor the Son, just Almighty GOD Who holds Sway over Alland Everything. ³⁷ For as were the days of Noah, so will be the Coming of the Very God's Son. ³⁸ For as in those days before the flood they were marrying and giving in marriage, buying and selling, eating and drinking, having all fun and laugh, until the day when Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away; So it will be at the Coming of the Very God's Son. ⁴⁰ I tell you, in that day there will be two in one place grinding together at the mill. One will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ And there will be two troubled at the mill. One will be taken and the other left. ⁴² Thus Care For All God's Day; And the Very One Shall be not overlooked. ⁴³ And know this, If the Lord of great estates had known in what watch were Creeping around the Evildoers; He would not leave his properties; to later on find them Allat Once broken. ⁴⁴ Therefore My GoodFollowers like the Pure Gold be 𝕾uper6; For The Lord's Coming is at that Scorching time, that will be astonished y'all's faces that day.” ⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. ⁴⁷ Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁸ But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ ⁴⁹ and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, ⁵⁰ the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know ⁵¹ and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

25 The Parable of the Ten Virgins ¹ “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. ² Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. ³ For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, ⁴ but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. ⁵ As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. ⁶ But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ ⁷ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ ¹⁰ And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. ¹¹ Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ ¹² Then he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you. Depart from Me.’ ¹³ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. The Parable of the Talents ¹⁴ “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. ¹⁵ To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. ¹⁶ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. ¹⁷ So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. ¹⁸ But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. ¹⁹ Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. ²⁰ And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ ²¹ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ ²² And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ ²³ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ ²⁴ He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, ²⁵ so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ ²⁶ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? ²⁷ Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. ²⁸ So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. ²⁹ For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. ³⁰ And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ The Final Judgment ³¹ “When Comes the Very God's Son with his Angels, then he will sit on his throne. ³² And before him will be gathered the nations of the world, and he will separate the good from the bad, like 7he Reaper who sifts the wheat from the chaff. ³³ And he will place on his right hand the righteous and on the left one the devils. ³⁴ Then He will say to those on his right, ‘Come, who have been blessed by God, inhabit the Kingdom of Heaven prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ³⁶ I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ ³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? ³⁸ And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? ³⁹ And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ ⁴⁰ And He will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, what you did for one of the least of mine, you did it for me.’ ⁴¹ “And King The Same will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me Allaccursed into the eternal suffering prepared for My Adversaries. ⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was naked and you did not clothe me. ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, I was in prison and you did not come to me.’ ⁴⁴ And then they will say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or naked and did not minister to your needs or a stranger and did not welcome you; And when did we see you sick or in prison and did not visit you?’ ⁴⁵ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, what you did not do for the least of mine, you did not do it for me.’ ⁴⁶ And these will go into eternal suffering, and the righteous into the Immortal life.”

26 The Plot to Kill Jesus Christ ¹ When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, ² “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” ³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, ⁴ and plotted together in order to arrest Christ by stealth and kill him. ⁵ But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.” Jesus Anointed at Bethany ⁶ Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. ⁸ And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? ⁹ For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” ¹⁰ But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a great thing to me. ¹¹ For you always have the poor with you, but nobody like me. ¹² In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burial. ¹³ Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Judas Betrays Jesus Christ ¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests ¹⁵ and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him. The Passover with the Disciples ¹⁷ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” ¹⁸ He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover. ²⁰ When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. ²¹ And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” ²² And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” ²³ He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” ²⁵ Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.” Institution of the Lord's Supper ²⁶ Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” ²⁷ And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, ²⁸ for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹ I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial ³⁰ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. ³¹ Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ ³² But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” ³³ Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” ³⁴ Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” ³⁵ Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same. Prayer in Gethsemane ³⁶ Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Light a fire, and wait here for Me.” ³⁷ And Peter with James and John began to be insanely distressed and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, “My Soul is Heavy Hearted to Death; Sit here and watch lest the Evil One benights you.” ³⁹ And he went to find some place, and prayed away from them, saying, “Take from me that Chalice O God; Nonetheless, let be done my wish not; just Your wishes done Thou shall Have Got ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧 40} And he came to disciples and found them sleeping. So he said to Peter, “Why are you sleeping, could you not watch one hour? ⁴¹ Rise and pray that you not be overmastered by the Evil One's insanity. Indeed the spirit is keen, yet the flesh is weak.” ⁴² And he went away and prayed for the second time, saying the very prayer. ⁴³ And he came and found them asleep, so he began to wake them up, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ So, leaving them once more, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. ⁴⁵ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Christ is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus Christ ⁴⁷ While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” ⁴⁹ And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. ⁵³ Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. ⁵⁶ But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled. Jesus Before Caiaphas and the Council ⁵⁷ Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. ⁵⁸ And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. ⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward ⁶¹ and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’” ⁶² And the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” ⁶³ But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are Christ the elect.” ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” ⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” ⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, ⁶⁸ saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?” Peter Denies Christ ⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” ⁷⁰ But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.” ⁷¹ And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁷² And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.” ⁷³ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.” ⁷⁴ Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

27 Jesus Delivered to Pilate ¹ When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. ² And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor. Judas Hangs His Head ³ Then when Judas saw that Christ already was condemned, he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, ⁴ saying, “I wanted to take this money for myself only. I have sinned by betraying the innocent one.” But they said to him, “What is that to us? You see to it.” ⁵ So he threw the moneybag into the temple to clear himself from the guilt, and then he departed hanging his head in shame. ⁶ Then the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since the money are for Christ's blood.” ⁷ And they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. ⁸ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, ¹⁰ and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.” Christ Before Pilate ¹¹ Now Christ stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Christ said, “You have said so.” ¹² But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. ¹³ Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” ¹⁴ But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed. The Mob Chooses Barabbas ¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. ¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or the man who is called Christ?” ¹⁸ For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.” ²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy the Christ. ²¹ The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” ²² Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with the man who is called Christ?” And they said, “Crucify Him!” ²³ And he said, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted, “Let him be crucified!” Pilate Delivers the Christ to Be Crucified ²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves.” ²⁵ And all the people answered, “The Christ blood be on us and on our children!” ²⁶ And Pilate having scourged the Christ, delivered him to be crucified; And released 7he BaꭆAbba𝕾 ^{🗦 ◬ 🗧} Christ Is Mocked ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Christ into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. ²⁸ And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, ²⁹ and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, the King!” ³⁰ And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him. The Crucifixion ³² As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry his cross. ³³ And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), ³⁴ they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. ³⁶ Then they sat down and kept watch over him there. ³⁷ And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Christ, the King of the Jews.” ³⁸ Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹ And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹ So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, ⁴² “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. ⁴³ He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴ And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. The Death of Christ ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Christ cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Elah Elahin, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My Lord, why have you forsaken me?” ⁴⁷ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.” ⁴⁸ And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.” ⁵⁰ And Christ cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his ghost. ⁵¹ And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. ⁵² The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, ⁵³ and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴ When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Christ, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this one is innocent!” ⁵⁵ There were also many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, ⁵⁶ among whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Christ Is Buried ⁵⁷ When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Christ. ⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and asked for the dead body of Christ. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. The Guard at the Tomb ⁶² The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate ⁶³ and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” ⁶⁶ So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

28 The Resurrection ¹ Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. ³ His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. ⁵ But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” ⁸ So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. ⁹ And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” The Report of the Guard ¹¹ While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. ¹² And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers ¹³ and said, “Tell people, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ ¹⁴ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” ¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day. The Great Commission ¹⁶ Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. ¹⁷ And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. ¹⁸ And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
