¹ AND entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.

² And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

³ And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.

⁴ And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?

⁵ Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

⁷ And he arose, and went into his house.

⁸ And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.

⁹ And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

¹² But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.

¹³ Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

¹⁴ Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

¹⁵ And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

¹⁶ And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.

¹⁷ Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.

¹⁸ As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

¹⁹ And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

²⁰ And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

²¹ For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

²² But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

²³ And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,

²⁴ He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

²⁵ And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

²⁶ And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

²⁷ And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.

²⁸ And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.

³¹ But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.

³² And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.

³³ And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.

³⁶ And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

³⁷ Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

³⁸ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

¹ Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

² So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

³ Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

⁴ Then Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

⁵ "Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"

⁶ Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

⁷ But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you don't always have me."

⁹ A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹⁰ But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

¹¹ because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

¹² On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹³ they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

¹⁴ Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

¹⁵ "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."

¹⁶ His disciples didn't understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

¹⁷ The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.

¹⁸ For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

²⁰ Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

²¹ These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."

²² Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

²³ Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²⁴ Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

²⁶ If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

²⁷ "Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this time?' But for this cause I came to this time.

²⁸ Father, glorify your name!" Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

²⁹ The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

³⁰ Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

³³ But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

³⁴ The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"

³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

³⁷ But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn't believe in him,

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

³⁹ For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again,

⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them."

⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

⁴² Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn't confess it, so that they wouldn't be put out of the synagogue,

⁴³ for they loved men's praise more than God's praise.

⁴⁴ Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

⁴⁵ He who sees me sees him who sent me.

⁴⁶ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

⁴⁷ If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

⁴⁸ He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

⁴⁹ For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

⁵⁰ I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."
