Biblia Sacra: NOVUM TESTAMENTUM

5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias of the course of Abijah, and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 Erant autem iusti ambo ante Deum, incedentes in omnibus mandatis et iustificationibus Domini sine querella.

6 They were both just before God, walking in all the mandates and justifications of the Lord without reproach.

7 Et non erat illis filius eo quod esset Elisabeth sterilis et ambo processissent in diebus suis.

7 And they did not have a son, because Elizabeth was barren, and both had advanced in their days.

8 Factum est autem cum sacerdotio fungeretur in ordine vicis suae ante Deum,

8 And it came to pass, when he was discharging the sacerdotal office in the order of his course before God,

9 secundum consuetudinem sacerdotii sorte exiit, ut incensum poneret ingressus in templum Domini;

9 according to the consuetude of the priesthood he came forth by lot, that he might place incense, having entered into the temple of the Lord;

10 et omnis multitudo erat populi orans foris hora incensi.

10 and the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

11 Apparuit autem illi angelus Domini stans a dextris altaris incensi;

11 But an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense;

12 et Zaccharias turbatus est videns, et timor inruit super eum.

12 and Zacharias was troubled when he saw, and fear rushed upon him.

13 Ait autem ad illum angelus: "Ne timeas, Zaccharia, quoniam exaudita est deprecatio tua, et uxor tua Elisabeth pariet tibi filium, et vocabis nomen eius Iohannem.

13 But the angel said to him: "Do not fear, Zechariah, because your supplication has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John."

14 Et erit gaudium tibi et exultatio, et multi in nativitate eius gaudebunt:

14 And there will be joy for you and exultation, and many will rejoice at his nativity:

15 erit enim magnus coram Domino et vinum et sicera non bibet et Spiritu Sancto replebitur adhuc ex utero matris suae

15 for he will be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he will not drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb

16 et multos filiorum Israhel convertet ad Dominum Deum ipsorum.

16 and he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.

17 Et ipse praecedet ante illum in spiritu et virtute Eliae, ut convertat corda patrum in filios et incredibiles ad prudentiam iustorum, parare Domino plebem perfectam".

17 And he himself will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, that he may turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, to prepare for the Lord a perfected people".

18 Et dixit Zaccharias ad angelum: "Unde hoc sciam? Ego enim sum senex et uxor mea processit in diebus suis".

18 And Zaccharias said to the angel: "How shall I know this? For I am an old man and my wife has advanced in her days".

19 Et respondens angelus dixit ei: "Eo sum Gabrihel, qui adsto ante Deum, et missus sum loqui ad te et haec tibi evangelizare.

19 And answering, the angel said to him: "I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I was sent to speak to you and to evangelize these things to you.

20 Et ecce: eris tacens et non poteris loqui usque in diem, quo haec fiant, pro eo quod non credidisti verbis meis, quae implebuntur in tempore suo".

20 And behold: you will be silent and not be able to speak until the day when these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their own time".

21 Et erat plebs expectans Zacchariam, et mirabantur quod tardaret ipse in templo.

21 And the people were expecting Zechariah, and they were marveling that he himself was delaying in the temple.

22 Egressus autem non poterat loqui ad illos, et cognoverunt quod visionem vidisset in templo; et ipse erat innuens illis et permansit mutus.

22 But when he came out he was not able to speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he himself was signaling to them and remained mute.

23 Et factum est ut impleti sunt dies officii eius, abiit in domum suam.

23 And it came to pass that, when the days of his office were fulfilled, he went into his house.

24 Post hos autem dies concepit Elisabeth uxor eius et occultabat se mensibus quinque dicens

24 And after these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she was hiding herself for five months, saying

25 quia: "Sic mihi fecit Dominus in diebus, quibus respexit auferre obprobrium meum inter homines".

25 because: "Thus the Lord has done to me in the days in which he looked upon me to remove my opprobrium among men".

26 In mense autem sexto missus est angelus Gabrihel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae, cui nomen Nazareth,

26 But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God into a city of Galilee, whose name is Nazareth,

27 ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Ioseph de domo David, et nomen virginis Maria.

27 to a virgin espoused to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin was Mary.

28 Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: "Have, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus."

28 And the angel, entering to her, said: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women."

29 Quae cum vidisset, turbata est in sermone eius et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio.

29 And when she had seen him, she was troubled at his speech and was pondering what sort of salutation this might be.

30 Et ait angelus ei: "Ne timeas, Maria; invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum.

30 And the angel said to her: "Do not fear, Mary; for you have found grace with God.

31 Ecce concipies in utero et paries filium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum.

31 Behold, you will conceive in the womb and bear a son, and you will call his name Jesus.

32 Hic erit magnus et Filius Altissimi vocabitur et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father

33 et regnabit in domo Iacob in aeternum et regni eius non erit finis."

33 and he will reign in the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."

34 Dixit autem Maria ad angelum: "Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam virum non cognosco?"

34 But Mary said to the angel: "How will this be, since I do not know a man?"

35 Et respondens angelus dixit ei: "Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi: ideoque et quod nascetur sanctum, vocabitur Filius Dei.

35 And the angel answering said to her: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you: and therefore the holy one who will be born shall be called the Son of God.

36 Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua et ipsa concepit filium in senecta sua, et hic mensis est sextus illi, quae vocatur sterilis,

36 And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who is called barren,

37 quia non erit inpossibile apud Deum omne verbum.

37 for no word will be impossible with God.

38 Dixit autem Maria: "Ecce ancilla Domini; fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum". Et discessit ab illa angelus.

38 But Mary said: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

39 Exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis abiit in montana cum festinatione in civitatem Iuda

39 But Mary, arising in those days, went into the hill-country with haste into a city of Judah

40 et intravit in domum Zacchariae et salutavit Elisabeth.

40 and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.

41 Et factum est ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exultavit infans in utero eius et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth

41 And it came to pass that, when Elizabeth heard Mary’s salutation, the infant exulted in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

42 et exclamavit voce magna et dixit: "Benedicta tu inter mulieres et benedictus fructus ventris tui.

42 and she cried out with a great voice and said: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

43 Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me?

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo.

44 For behold, when the voice of your salutation came into my ears, the infant in my womb exulted in joy.

45 Et beata quae credidit, quoniam perficientur ea quae dicta sunt ei a Domino".

45 And blessed is she who believed, because the things that were spoken to her by the Lord will be fulfilled".

46 Et ait Maria:
Magnificat anima mea Dominum,

46 And Mary said:
My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo,

47 and my spirit exulted in God my Savior,

48 quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae.
Ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes,

48 because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid.
For behold, from henceforth all generations will call me blessed,

49 quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,

49 because he who is potent has done great things for me,
and holy is his name,

50 et misericordia eius in progenies et progenies
timentibus eum.

50 and his mercy is from generation to generation
for those who fear him.

51 Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui;

51 He has shown potency with his arm,
he has dispersed the proud in the mind of their heart;

52 deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles;

52 he has deposed potentates from the seat
and has exalted the humble;

53 esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.

53 he filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.

54 Suscepit Israhel puerum suum,
memorari misericordiae,

54 He has taken up Israel his servant,
for mercy to be remembered,

55 sicut locutus est ad patres nostros,
Abraham et semini eius in saecula".

55 just as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and his seed unto the ages".

56 Mansit autem Maria cum illa quasi mensibus tribus et reversa est in domum suam.

56 But Mary remained with her for about three months and returned to her home.

57 Elisabeth autem impletum est tempus pariendi, et peperit filium.

57 Now for Elizabeth the time of giving birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.

58 Et audierunt vicini et cognati eius quia magnificavit Dominus misericordiam suam cum illa, et congratulabantur ei.

58 And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were congratulating her.

59 Et factum est in die octavo venerunt circumcidere puerum et vocabant eum nomine patris eius Zacchariam.

59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zechariah.

60 Et respondens mater eius dixit: "Nequaquam, sed vocabitur Iohannes".

60 And his mother answering said: "By no means, but he shall be called John".

61 Et dixerunt ad illam quia: "Nemo est in cognatione tua, qui vocetur hoc nomine".

61 And they said to her: "No one is in your kindred who is called by this name".

62 Innuebant autem patri eius quem vellet vocari eum.

62 But they were making signs to his father as to what he would wish him to be called.

63 Et postulans pugillarem scripsit dicens: "Iohannes est nomen eius." Et mirati sunt universi.

63 And asking for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: "John is his name." And all were amazed.

64 Apertum est autem ilico os eius et lingua eius et loquebatur benedicens Deum.

64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue, and he was speaking, blessing God.

65 Et factus est timor super omnes vicinos eorum, et super omnia montana Iudaeae divulgabantur omnia verba haec.

65 And fear came upon all their neighbors, and throughout all the hill-country of Judea all these words were being divulged.

66 Et posuerunt omnes qui audierant in corde suo dicentes: "Quid putas puer iste erit?" Etenim manus Domini erat cum illo.

66 And all who had heard laid it up in their heart, saying: "What, do you think, will this boy be?" For indeed the hand of the Lord was with him.

67 Et Zaccharias pater eius impletus est Spiritu Sancto et prophetavit dicens:

67 And Zechariah, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying:

68 "Benedictus Deus Israhel
quia visitavit et fecit redemptionem plebi suae

68 "Blessed be the God of Israel
because he has visited and effected redemption for his people

69 et erexit cornu salutis nobis
in domo David pueri sui,

69 and he raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of David his servant,

70 sicut locutus est per os sanctorum,
qui a saeculo sunt, prophetarum eius,

70 as he spoke through the mouth of the saints,
who are from of old, his prophets,

71 salutem ex inimicis nostris
et de manu omnium, qui oderunt nos;

71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;

72 ad faciendam misericordiam cum patribus nostris
et memorari testamenti sui sancti,

72 to perform mercy with our fathers
and to remember his holy testament,

73 iusiurandum, quod iuravit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,

73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,

74 daturum se nobis, ut sine timore de manu inimicorum liberati,
serviamus illi

74 to grant to us that, without fear, delivered from the hand of enemies,
serviamus illi

75 in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso
omnibus diebus nostris.

75 in sanctity and justice before him
all our days.

76Et tu, puer, propheta Altissimi vocaberis:
praeibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius

76And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways

77 ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius
in remissionem peccatorum eorum,

77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the remission of their sins,

78 per viscera misericordiae Dei nostri,
in quibus visitavit nos oriens ex alto,

78 through the bowels of the mercy of our God,
in which the Orient from on high has visited us,

79 inluminare his qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent,
ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis".

79 to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to direct our feet into the way of peace."

80 Puer autem crescebat et confortabatur spiritu et erat in deserto usque in diem ostensionis suae ad Israhel.

80 But the boy grew and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

[2]

1 Factum est autem in diebus illis exiit edictum a Caesare Augusto ut describeretur universus orbis.

1 And it came to pass in those days that an edict went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world be enrolled.

2 Haec descriptio prima facta est praeside Syriae Cyrino.

2 This first registration was made when Cyrinus was presiding over Syria.

3 Et ibant omnes ut profiterentur, singuli in suam civitatem.

3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.

4 Ascendit autem et Ioseph a Galilaea de civitate Nazareth in Iudaeam civitatem David, quae vocatur Bethleem, eo quod esset de domo et familia David,

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

5 ut profiteretur cum Maria desponsata sibi, uxore praegnate

5 to register with Mary, his betrothed wife, pregnant

6 Factum est autem cum essent ibi, impleti sunt dies ut pareret,

6 And it came to pass that, while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth,

7 et peperit filium suum primogenitum et pannis eum involvit et reclinavit eum in praesepio, quia non erat eis locus in diversorio.

7 and she bore her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was for them no place in the inn.

8 Et pastores erant in regione eadem vigilantes et custodientes vigilias noctis supra gregem suum.

8 And shepherds were in the same region, watching and keeping the night watches over their flock.

9 Et ecce angelus Domini stetit iuxta illos, et claritas Dei circumfulsit illos, et timuerunt timore magno.

9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood beside them, and the glory of God shone around them, and they feared with great fear.

10 Et dixit illis angelus: "Nolite timere; ecce enim evangelizo vobis gaudium magnum, quod erit omni populo,

10 And the angel said to them: "Do not fear; behold, for I evangelize to you a great joy, which will be for all the people,"

11 quia natus est vobis hodie Salvator, qui est Christus Dominus in civitate David.

11 for today a Savior has been born for you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.

12 Et hoc vobis signum: invenietis infantem pannis involutum et positum in praesepio".

12 And this for you is the sign: you will find an infant wrapped in cloths and placed in a manger".

13 Et subito facta est cum angelo multitudo militiae caelestis laudantium Deum et dicentium:

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying:

14 "Gloria in altissimis Deo, et in terra pax in hominibus bonae voluntatis".

14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will".

15 Et factum est ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in caelum, pastores loquebantur ad invicem: "Transeamus usque Bethleem et videamus hoc verbum quod factum est, quod fecit Dominus et ostendit nobis".

15 And it came to pass, when the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds were speaking to one another: "Let us go across as far as Bethlehem and see this word that has come to pass, which the Lord has made and has shown to us".

16 Et venerunt festinantes et invenerunt Mariam et Ioseph et infantem positum in praesepio.

16 And they came in haste and found Mary and Joseph and the infant placed in the manger.

17 Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc.

17 But upon seeing, they made known the word which had been said to them about this child.

18 Et omnes qui audierunt mirati sunt et de his, quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos.

18 And all who heard marveled at the things that had been said to them by the shepherds.

19 Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec conferens in corde suo.

19 But Mary was keeping all these words, comparing them in her heart.

20 Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus, quae audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as it had been said to them.

21 Et postquam consummati sunt dies octo, ut circumcideretur, vocatum est nomen eius Iesus, quod vocatum est ab angelo priusquam in utero conciperetur.

21 And after eight days were consummated, for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which had been called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 Et postquam impleti sunt dies purgationis eius secundum legem Mosi, tulerunt illum in Hierusalem ut sisterent eum Domino,

22 And after the days of her purification were fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they brought him into Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

23 sicut scriptum est in lege Domini quia "Omne masculinum adaperiens vulvam sanctum Domino vocabitur,"

23 as it is written in the law of the Lord, that "Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,"

24 et ut darent hostiam secundum quod dictum est in lege Domini: par turturum aut duos pullos columbarum.

24 and to give an offering according to what is said in the law of the Lord: a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.

25 Et ecce homo erat in Hierusalem, cui nomen Symeon, et homo iste iustus et timoratus, expectans consolationem Israhel, et Spiritus Sanctus erat in eo,

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was in him,

26 et responsum acceperat ab Spiritu Sancto non visurum se mortem nisi prius videret Christum Domini.

26 and he had received a response from the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.

27 Et venit in Spiritu in templum et cum inducerent puerum Iesum parentes eius, ut facerent secundum consuetudinem legis pro eo,

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when his parents were bringing in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

28 et ipse accepit eum in ulnas suas et benedixit Deum et dixit:

28 and he himself took him into his arms and blessed God and said:

29 "Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine
secundum verbum tuum in pace.

29 "Now you dismiss your servant, Lord
according to your word, in peace.

30 quia viderunt oculi mei
salutare tuum,

30 because my eyes have seen
your salvation,

31 quod parasti
ante faciem omnium populorum,

31 which you have prepared
before the face of all peoples,

32 lumen ad revelationem gentium
et gloriam plebis tuae Israhel".

32 a light for revelation to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel".

33 Et erat pater eius et mater mirantes super his, quae dicebantur de illo.

33 And his father and mother were marveling at the things that were being said about him.

34 Et benedixit illis Symeon et dixit ad Mariam matrem eius: "Ecce positus est hic in ruinam et resurrectionem multorum in Israhel et in signum cui contradicetur

34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: "Behold, this one is set for the ruin and resurrection of many in Israel and for a sign that will be contradicted

35 - et tuam ipsius animam pertransiet gladius - ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationes ".

35 - and a sword will pierce even your own soul - so that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed ".

36 Et erat Anna prophetissa, filia Phanuhel, de tribu Aser. Haec processerat in diebus multis et vixerat cum viro suo annis septem a virginitate sua.

36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She had advanced in many days and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.

37 Et haec vidua usque ad annos octoginta quattuor, quae non discedebat de templo, ieiuniis et obsecrationibus serviens nocte ac die.

37 And she a widow up to eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, serving with fasts and supplications night and day.

38 Et haec ipsa hora superveniens confitebatur Domino et loquebatur de illo omnibus, qui expectabant redemptionem Hierusalem.

38 And at that very hour, coming up, she was giving thanks to the Lord and was speaking about him to all who were expecting the redemption of Jerusalem.

39 Et ut perfecerunt omnia secundum legem Domini, reversi sunt in Galilaeam in civitatem suam Nazareth.

39 And when they had fulfilled everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

40 Puer autem crescebat et confortabatur plenus sapientia; et gratia Dei erat in illo.

40 But the boy grew and was strengthened, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.

41 Et ibant parentes eius per omnes annos in Hierusalem in die sollemni Paschae.

41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem on the solemn day of Passover.

42 Et cum factus esset annorum duodecim, ascendentibus illis in Hierosolymam secundum consuetudinem diei festi,

42 And when he had become twelve years old, as they were going up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast day,

43 consummatisque diebus, cum redirent, remansit puer Iesus in Hierusalem, et non cognoverunt parentes eius.

43 and when the days were completed, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, and his parents did not know it.

44 Existimantes autem illum esse in comitatu, venerunt iter diei et requirebant eum inter cognatos et notos

44 But supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey and were seeking him among their kinsmen and acquaintances

45 et non invenientes regressi sunt in Hierusalem requirentes eum.

45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 Et factum est post triduum invenerunt illum in templo sedentem in medio doctorum audientem illos et interrogantem;

46 And it came to pass after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors listening to them and interrogating them;

47 stupebant autem omnes qui eum audiebant, super prudentia et responsis eius.

47 all who were hearing him, however, were astonished at his prudence and his responses.

48 Et videntes admirati sunt et dixit mater eius ad illum: "Fili, quid fecisti nobis sic? Ecce pater tuus et ego dolentes quaerebamus te".

48 And seeing him, they were amazed, and his mother said to him: "Son, why have you done thus to us? Behold, your father and I, grieving, were seeking you".

49 Et ait ad illos: "Quid est quod me quaerebatis? Nesciebatis quia in his, quae Patris mei sunt, oportet me esse?"

49 And he said to them: "Why is it that you were seeking me? Did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in the things which are of my Father?"

50 Et ipsi non intellexerunt verbum quod locutus est ad illos.

50 And they themselves did not understand the word which he spoke to them.

51 Et descendit cum eis et venit Nazareth et erat subditus illis. Et mater eius conservabat omnia verba haec in corde suo.

51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

52 Et Iesus proficiebat sapientia aetate et gratia apud Deum et homines.

1 Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galilaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Itureae et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the imperial rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod, tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias, tetrarch of Abilene,

2 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna et Caiapha, factum est verbum Dei super Iohannem Zacchariae filium in deserto.

2 under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John, son of Zechariah, in the desert.

3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,

3 And he came into all the region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of penitence for the remission of sins,

4 sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Esaiae prophetae:

4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:

"Vox clamantis in deserto
parate viam Domini
rectas facite semitas eius.

"The voice of one crying in the desert
prepare the way of the Lord
make straight his paths.

5 Omnis vallis implebitur,
et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur;
et erunt prava in directa,
et aspera in vias planas:

5 Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low;
and the crooked shall be made straight,
and the rough into level ways:

6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei."

6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exiebant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: "Genimina viperarum, quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?

7 He was therefore saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him: "Brood of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?

8 Facite ergo fructus dignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere "Patrem habemus Abraham"; dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae.

8 Therefore make fruits worthy of penitence, and do not begin to say "We have Abraham as father"; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up sons for Abraham.

9 Iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur". Et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes: "Quid ergo faciemus?"

9 For already the axe has been set at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not bearing fruit is cut down and cast into the fire." And the crowds were questioning him, saying: "What then shall we do?"

11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: "Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti; et qui habet escas, similiter faciat".

11 But answering he was saying to them: "Whoever has two tunics, let him give to the one not having; and whoever has food, let him do likewise".

12 Venerunt autem et publicani, ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: ʻMagister, quid faciemus?"

12 And publicans also came, to be baptized, and they said to him: ʻTeacher, what shall we do?"

13 At ille dixit ad eos: "Nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis".

13 But he said to them: "Do nothing more than what has been constituted for you."

14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes: "Quid faciemus et nos?" Et ait illis: "Neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contenti estote stipendiis vestris".

14 And soldiers also were questioning him, saying: "What shall we do, even we?" And he said to them: "Shake down no one nor commit calumny, and be content with your stipends".

15 Existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus,

15 But while the people were in expectation and all were cogitating in their hearts about John, whether perhaps he himself might be the Christ,

16 respondit Iohannes dicens omnibus: "Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos. Venit autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calciamentorum eius; ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni,

16 John answered, saying to all: "I indeed baptize you with water. But one mightier than I is coming, whose sandal-strap I am not worthy to loosen; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,"

17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius et purgabit aream suam et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem conburet igni inextinguibili".

17 whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will purge his threshing-floor and will gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with inextinguishable fire".

18 Multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum.

18 Indeed, exhorting with many other things, he was evangelizing the people.

19 Herodes autem tetrarcha, cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis, quae fecit Herodes,

19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him about Herodias, the wife of his brother, and about all the evils which Herod had done,

20 adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere.

20 he added also this above all and enclosed John in prison.

21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante, apertum est caelum,

21 And it came to pass, when all the people were being baptized, and Jesus having been baptized and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum, et vox de caelo facta est: "Tu es Filius meus dilectus; in te conplacuit mihi".

22 and the Holy Spirit descended in bodily species like a dove upon him, and a voice was made from heaven: "You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased".

23 Et ipse Iesus erat incipiens quasi annorum triginta, ut putabatur, filius Ioseph qui fuit Heli,

23 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was of Heli,

1 Iesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est ab Iordane et agebatur in Spiritu in desertum

1 But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was being led in the Spirit into the desert.

2 diebus quadraginta et temptabatur a diabolo. Et nihil manducavit in diebus illis et, consummatis illis, esuriit.

2 for forty days and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days, and, when those were completed, he was hungry.

3 Dixit autem illi diabolus: "Si Filius Dei es, dic lapidi huic ut panis fiat".

3 But the devil said to him: "If you are the Son of God, say to this stone that it may become bread."

4 Et respondit ad illum Iesus: "Scriptum est quia 'Non in pane solo vivet homo, sed in omni verbo Dei'."

4 And Jesus responded to him: "It is written that 'Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word of God'."

5 Et duxit illum diabolus et ostendit illi omnia regna orbis terrae in momento temporis

5 And the Devil led him and showed him all the kingdoms of the orb of the earth in a moment of time

6 et ait ei: "Tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam et gloriam illorum, quia mihi tradita sunt et cui volo do illa.

6 and he said to him: "To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for to me they have been handed over, and to whom I will I give them.

7 Tu ergo, si adoraveris coram me, erunt tua omnia".

7 You, therefore, if you will worship before me, all shall be yours".

8 Et respondens Iesus dixit illi: "Scriptum est: 'Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies'."

8 And Jesus, answering, said to him: "It is written: 'You shall adore the Lord your God, and him alone you shall serve'."

9 Et duxit illum in Hierusalem et statuit eum supra pinnam templi et dixit illi: "Si Filius Dei es, mitte te hinc deorsum.

9 And he led him into Jerusalem and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple and said to him: "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here."

10 Scriptum est enim quod 'angelis suis mandabit de te, ut conservent te'

10 For it is written that 'he will command his angels concerning you, that they may preserve you'

11 et quia 'in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum'."

11 and that 'in their hands they will take you up, lest perhaps you strike your foot against a stone.'"

12 Et respondens Iesus ait illi: "Dictum est: 'Non temptabis Dominum Deum tuum'."

12 And Jesus, answering, said to him: "It has been said: 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God'."

13 Et consummata omni temptatione, diabolus recessit ab illo usque ad tempus.

13 And when every temptation had been consummated, the devil withdrew from him until a time.

14 Et regressus est Iesus in virtute Spiritus in Galilaeam et fama exiit per universam regionem de illo.

14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report went out through the whole region about him.

15 Et ipse docebat in synagogis eorum et magnificabatur ab omnibus.

15 And he himself was teaching in their synagogues and was magnified by all.

16 Et venit Nazareth ubi erat nutritus, et intravit secundum consuetudinem suam die sabbati in synagogam et surrexit legere.

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been nurtured, and he entered, according to his custom, on the Sabbath day into the synagogue, and stood up to read.

17 Et traditus est illi liber prophetae Esaiae. Et, ut revolvit librum, invenit locum ubi scriptum erat:

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed over to him. And, as he unrolled the book, he found the place where it was written:

18 "Spiritus Domini super me; propter quod unxit me, evangelizare pauperibus misit me,

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; for which reason he anointed me, he sent me to evangelize the poor,

19 praedicare captivis remissionem et caecis visum, dimittere confractos in remissionem, praedicare annum Domini acceptum et diem retributionis".

19 to proclaim to captives remission and to the blind vision, to dismiss the shattered into remission, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of retribution".

20 Et cum plicuisset librum, reddidit ministro et sedit. Et omnium in synagoga oculi erant intendentes in eum.

20 And when he had folded the book, he returned it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were intent upon him.

21 Coepit autem dicere ad illos quia: "Hodie impleta est haec scriptura in auribus vestris".

21 But he began to say to them: "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears".

22 Et omnes testimonium illi dabant et mirabantur in verbis gratiae, quae procedebant de ore ipsius et dicebant: "Nonne hic filius est Ioseph?"

22 And all were giving testimony to him and were marveling at the words of grace that were proceeding from his mouth, and they were saying: "Is not this the son of Joseph?"

23 Et ait illis: "Utique dicetis mihi hanc similitudinem: medice cura te ipsum: quanta audivimus facta in Capharnaum fac et hic in patria tua".

23 And he said to them: "Surely you will say to me this proverb: physician, cure yourself; the things we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your native country."

24 Ait autem: "Amen dico vobis quia nemo propheta acceptus est in patria sua.

24 But he said: "Amen I say to you that no prophet is accepted in his own fatherland."

25 In veritate, dico vobis, multae viduae erant in diebus Heliae in Israhel, quando clausum est caelum annis tribus et mensibus sex, cum facta est fames magna in omni terra;

25 In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when a great famine came to be in all the land;

26 et ad nullam illarum missus est Helias, nisi in Sareptha Sidoniae ad mulierem viduam.

26 and to none of them was Elijah sent, except to a widow woman in Sarepta of Sidon.

27 Et multi leprosi erant in Israhel sub Heliseo propheta; et nemo eorum mundatus est, nisi Neman Syrus".

27 And many lepers were in Israel under Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian".

28 Et repleti sunt omnes in synagoga ira haec audientes.

28 And all in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with ire.

29 Et surrexerunt et eiecerunt illum extra civitatem et duxerunt illum usque ad supercilium montis, supra quem civitas illorum erat aedificata, ut praecipitarent eum.

29 And they rose up and cast him out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain, upon which their city had been built, so that they might precipitate him.

30 Ipse autem transiens per medium illorum ibat.

30 But he himself, passing through the midst of them, went on.

31 Et descendit in Capharnaum civitatem Galilaeae, ibique docebat illos sabbatis.

31 And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and there he was teaching them on the sabbaths.

32 Et stupebant in doctrina eius, quia in potestate erat sermo ipsius.

32 And they were astonished at his doctrine, because his word was with authority.

33 Et in synagoga erat homo habens daemonium inmundum et exclamavit voce magna

33 And in the synagogue there was a man having an unclean demon, and he exclaimed with a great voice

34 dicens: "Sine, quid nobis et tibi, Iesu Nazarene? Venisti perdere nos? Scio te qui sis, Sanctus Dei.

34 saying: "Leave us be, what [is] to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

35 Et increpavit illi Iesus dicens: "Obmutesce et exi ab illo". Et cum proiecisset illum daemonium in medium, exiit ab illo nihilque illum nocuit.

35 And Jesus rebuked it, saying: "Be silent, and come out of him." And when the demon had thrown him into the midst, it came out of him and did him no harm.

36 Et factus est pavor in omnibus, et conloquebantur ad invicem dicentes: "Quod est hoc verbum, quia in potestate et virtute imperat inmundis spiritibus, et exeunt?"

36 And fear came upon all, and they conversed with one another, saying: "What is this word, that with authority and power he commands unclean spirits, and they go out?"

37 Et divulgabatur fama de illo in omnem locum regionis.

37 And his fame was being divulged into every place of the region.

38 Surgens autem de synagoga introivit in domum Simonis; socrus autem Simonis tenebatur magnis febribus, et rogaverunt illum pro ea.

38 But rising from the synagogue he entered into Simon’s house; and Simon’s mother-in-law was being held by great fevers, and they asked him on her behalf.

39 Et stans super illam imperavit febri, et dimisit illam; et continuo surgens ministrabat illis.

39 And standing over her, he commanded the fever, and it left her; and immediately, rising, she ministered to them.

40 Cum sol autem occidisset, omnes qui habebant infirmos variis languoribus, ducebant illos ad eum. At ille singulis manus inponens curabat eos.

40 But when the sun had set, all who had the infirm with various languors were leading them to him. And he, laying hands upon each, was curing them.

41 Exiebant autem etiam daemonia a multis clamantia et dicentia quia: "Tu es Filius Dei," et increpans non sinebat ea loqui, quia sciebant ipsum esse Christum.

41 But demons also were going out from many, crying out and saying that: "You are the Son of God," and, rebuking, he was not allowing them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

42 Facta autem die, egressus ibat in desertum locum, et turbae requirebant eum et venerunt usque ad ipsum et detinebant illum, ne discederet ab eis.

42 But when it was day, going out he went to a desert place, and the crowds were seeking him and came up to him and were detaining him, so that he might not depart from them.

43 Quibus ille ait quia: "Et aliis civitatibus oportet me evangelizare regnum Dei; quia ideo missus sum."

43 To them he said: "And to other cities it is necessary for me to evangelize the kingdom of God; for this reason I was sent."

44 Et erat praedicans in synagogis Galilaeae.

44 And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

[5]

1 Factum est autem, cum turbae inruerent in eum ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Gennesareth.

1 Now it came to pass, when the crowds were rushing in upon him to hear the word of God, that he himself was standing beside the lake of Gennesareth.

2 Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum; piscatores autem descenderant et lavabant retia.

2 And he saw two boats standing beside the lake; but the fishermen had disembarked and were washing the nets.

3 Ascendens autem in unam navem, quae erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.

3 And getting into one boat, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down, he was teaching the crowds from the little boat.

4 Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: "Duc in altum et laxate retia vestra in capturam".

4 But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon: "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

5 Et respondens Simon dixit illi: "Praeceptor, per totam noctem laborantes nihil cepimus; in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete."

5 And Simon, answering, said to him: "Instructor, laboring through the whole night, we have caught nothing; yet at your word I will let down the net."

6 Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam; rumpebatur autem rete eorum.

6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a copious multitude of fishes; however, their net was being torn.

7 Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi, ut venirent et adiuvarent eos. Et venerunt et impleverunt ambas naviculas ita ut mergerentur.

7 And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other ship, to come and assist them. And they came and filled both little boats so that they began to sink.

8 Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Iesu dicens: "Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine".

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying: "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord".

9 Stupor enim circumdederat eum et omnes qui cum illo erant in captura piscium, quam ceperant;

9 For astonishment had encompassed him and all who were with him at the capture of the fishes, which they had taken;

10 similiter autem Iacobum et Iohannem filios Zebedaei, qui erant socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Iesus: "Noli timere, ex hoc iam homines eris capiens".

10 and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: "Do not fear; from now on you will be catching men".

11 Et, subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus, secuti sunt illum.

11 And, having brought the boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

12 Et factum est cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra; et videns Iesum et procidens in faciem rogavit eum dicens: "Domine, si vis, potes me mundare".

12 And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus and falling upon his face, he begged him, saying: "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean".

13 Et extendens manum tetigit illum dicens: "Volo, mundare". Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.

13 And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying: "I will; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

14 Et ipse praecepit illi, ut nemini diceret, sed: "Vade, ostende te sacerdoti et offer pro emundatione tua, sicut praecepit Moses, in testimonium illis".

14 And he commanded him to tell no one, but: "Go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification, as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them".

15 Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo, et conveniebant turbae multae, ut audirent et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis;

15 But the report about him was spreading all the more, and many crowds were gathering, to hear and to be cured of their infirmities;

16 ipse autem secedebat in deserto et orabat.

16 But he himself withdrew into the desert and prayed.

17 Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens, et erant Pharisaei sedentes et legis doctores, qui venerant ex omni castello Galilaeae et Iudaeae et Hierusalem; et virtus erat Domini ad sanandum eos.

17 And it came to pass on one of the days, and he himself was sitting teaching, and there were Pharisees sitting and doctors of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

18 Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus, et quaerebant eum inferre et ponere ante eum.

18 And behold, men carrying on a couch a man who was a paralytic, and they were seeking to bring him in and to set him before him.

19 Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent prae turba, ascenderunt supra tectum per tegulas submiserunt illum cum lecto in medium ante Iesum.

19 And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the crowd, they went up onto the roof, and through the tiles they let him down with the bed into the midst before Jesus.

20 Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: "Homo remittuntur tibi peccata tua".

20 When he saw their faith, he said: "Man, your sins are forgiven you".

21 Et coeperunt cogitare scribae et Pharisaei dicentes: "Quis est hic, qui loquitur blasphemias? Quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus?"

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to ponder, saying: "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can remit sins except God alone?"

22 Ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum, respondens dixit ad illos: "Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?

22 But when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering he said to them: "What are you cogitating in your hearts?"

23 Quid est facilius dicere: 'Dimittuntur tibi peccata' an dicere: 'Surge et ambula'?"

23 What is easier to say: 'Your sins are forgiven you' or to say: 'Rise and walk'?

24 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis potestatem habet in terra dimittere peccata – ait paralytico: "Tibi dico, surge, tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam."

24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to remit sins — he says to the paralytic: "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

25 Et confestim surgens coram illis tulit, in quo iacebat, et abiit in domum suam magnificans Deum.

25 And immediately, rising up before them, he took up that on which he had been lying, and went away to his own house, magnifying God.

26 Et stupor adprehendit omnes et magnificabant Deum et repleti sunt timore, dicentes quia "Vidimus mirabilia hodie".

26 And stupefaction seized all, and they were magnifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen marvels today".

27 Et post haec exiit et vidit publicanum nomine Levi sedentem ad teloneum et ait illi: "Sequere me'.

27 And after these things he went out and saw a publican named Levi sitting at the toll-office, and he said to him: "Follow me'.

28 Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.

28 And, with everything left behind, rising he followed him.

29 Et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua; et erat turba multa publicanorum et aliorum, qui cum illis erant discumbentes.

29 And Levi made for him a great banquet in his own house; and there was a great crowd of publicans and others, who were reclining with them.

30 Et murmurabant Pharisaei et scribae eorum dicentes ad discipulos eius: "Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducatis et bibitis?"

30 And the Pharisees and their scribes were murmuring, saying to his disciples: "Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?"

31 Et respondens Iesus dixit ad illos: "Non egent, qui sani sunt. medico sed qui male habent.

31 And Jesus, answering, said to them: "Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, but those who are sick."

32 Non veni vocare iustos sed peccatores in paenitentiam".

32 I did not come to call the just but sinners to repentance".

33 At illi dixerunt ad eum: "Quare discipuli Iohannis ieiunant frequenter et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et Pharisaeorum; tui autem edunt et bibunt".

33 But they said to him: "Why do the disciples of John fast frequently and make supplications, likewise also those of the Pharisees; but yours eat and drink."

34 Quibus ipse ait: "Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere ieiunare?

34 And he himself said to them: "Can you make the sons of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

35 Venient autem dies, et cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus, tunc ieiunabunt in illis diebus".

35 "But days will come, and when the bridegroom has been taken away from them, then they will fast in those days."

36 Dicebat autem et similitudinem ad illos quia: "Nemo commissuram a vestimento novo inmittit in vestimentum vetus; alioquin et novum rumpit et veteri non convenit commissura a novo.

36 But he was also speaking a similitude to them, saying: "No one puts a patch from a new garment into an old garment; otherwise he also tears the new, and the patch from the new does not agree with the old."

37 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres, alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres et ipsum effundetur et utres peribunt;

37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine will rupture the wineskins and it itself will be poured out and the wineskins will perish;

38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est et utraque conservantur.

38 but new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

39 Et nemo bibens vetus statim vult novum; dicit enim: 'Vetus melius est'."

39 And no one drinking the old at once wants the new; for he says: 'The old is better'."

[6]

1 Factum est autem in sabbato secundo primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli eius spicas et manducabant confricantes manibus.

1 And it came to pass on the second-first sabbath, as he was passing through the sown fields, his disciples were plucking ears of grain and were eating, rubbing them with their hands.

2 Quidam autem Pharisaeorum dicebant illis: "Quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis?"

2 But certain of the Pharisees were saying to them: "What are you doing which is not lawful on the sabbaths?"

3 Et respondens Iesus ad eos dixit: "Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse et qui cum eo erant,

3 And Jesus, answering, said to them: "Have you not read this either, what David did, when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,"

4 quomodo intravit in domum Dei et panes propositionis sumpsit et manducavit et dedit his qui cum ipso erant, quos non licet manducare nisi tantum sacerdotibus?"

4 how he entered into the house of God and took the loaves of the proposition, and ate, and gave to those who were with him, which it is not lawful to eat except only for the priests?"

5 Et dicebat illis quia dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati.

5 And he was saying to them that the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.

6 Factum est autem et in alio sabbato ut intraret in synagogam et doceret. Et erat ibi homo et manus eius dextra erat arida.

6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and was teaching. And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

7 Observabant autem scribae et Pharisaei, si in sabbato curaret, ut invenirent accusare illum.

7 But the scribes and the Pharisees were observing, whether he would cure on the Sabbath, so that they might find something to accuse him with.

8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum, et ait homini qui habebat manum aridam: "Surge et sta in medium." Et surgens stetit.

8 But he himself knew their cogitations, and he said to the man who had the withered hand: "Rise and stand in the midst." And rising, he stood.

9 Ait autem ad illos Iesus: "Interrogo vos, si licet sabbato bene facere an male; animam salvam facere an perdere."

9 But Jesus said to them: "I ask you, whether it is lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil; to save a soul or to destroy it."

10 Et, circumspectis omnibus, dixit homini: "Extende manum tuam". Et extendit, et restituta est manus eius.

10 And, having looked around at them all, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia et conloquebantur ad invicem quidnam facerent Iesu.

11 But they themselves were filled with insipience and were conferring with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

12 Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei.

12 And it came to pass in those days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he was spending the night in prayer to God.

13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos et elegit duodecim ex ipsis, quos et apostolos nominavit:

13 And when day had come, he called his disciples and chose twelve from among them, whom he also named apostles:

14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem eius Iacobum et Iohannem Philippum et Bartholomeum

14 Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew

15 Mattheum et Thomam et Iacobum Alphei et Simonem, qui vocatur Zelotes,

15 Matthew and Thomas and James of Alphaeus and Simon, who is called the Zealot,

16 et Iudam Iacobi et Iudam Scarioth qui fuit proditor.

16 and Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the betrayer.

17 Et descendens cum illis stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum eius, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudaea et Hierusalem et maritimae Tyri et Sidonis,

17 And descending with them he stood in a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a copious multitude of the common people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the maritime parts of Tyre and Sidon,

18 qui venerunt ut audirent eum et sanarentur a languoribus suis; et qui vexabantur ab spiritibus inmundis, curabantur.

18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities; and those who were vexed by unclean spirits were cured.

19 Et omnis turba quaerebant eum tangere, quia virtus de illo exiebat et sanabat omnes.

19 And the whole crowd were seeking to touch him, because power was going out from him and was healing all.

20 Et ipse, elevatis oculis in discipulos suos, dicebat:

20 And he himself, lifting up his eyes upon his disciples, was saying:

"Beati pauperes quia vestrum est regnum Dei.

"Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God."

21 Beati, qui nunc esuritis, quia saturabimini.
Beati, qui nunc fletis, quia ridebitis.

21 Blessed are you who now hunger, for you will be satiated.
Blessed are you who now weep, for you will laugh.

22 Beati eritis, cum vos oderint homines et cum separaverint vos et exprobraverint et eiecerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis.

22 Blessed will you be, when men shall hate you and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and shall cast out your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.

23 Gaudete in illa die et exultate ecce enim merces vestra multa in caelo secundum haec enim faciebant prophetis patres eorum.

23 Rejoice in that day and exult; for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for according to these things their fathers were doing to the prophets.

24 Verumtamen vae vobis divitibus, quia habetis consolationem vestram.

24 But woe to you rich, because you have your consolation.

25 Vae vobis, qui saturati estis, quia esurietis. Vae vobis, qui ridetis nunc, quia lugebitis et flebitis.

25 Woe to you, who are satiated, for you will hunger. Woe to you, who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26 Vae, cum bene vobis dixerint omnes homines. Secundum haec faciebant prophetis patres eorum.

26 Woe, when all men speak well of you. According to these things their fathers were doing to the prophets.

27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui vos oderunt;

27 But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you;

28 benedicite maledicentibus vobis, orate pro calumniantibus vos.

28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who calumniate you.

29 Ei qui te percutit in maxillam, praebe et alteram; et ab eo, qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.

29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your garment, do not withhold even the tunic.

30 Omni autem petenti te tribue; et qui aufert, quae tua sunt, ne repetas.

30 But to everyone asking you, give; and from the one who takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.

31 And just as you wish men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

32 Et si diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quae vobis est gratia? Nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt.

32 And if you love those who love you, what grace is there for you? For even sinners love those who love them.

33 Et si benefeceritis his, qui vobis benefaciunt, quae vobis est gratia? Siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.

33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what grace is there for you? For indeed even sinners do this.

34 Et si mutuum dederitis his, a quibus speratis recipere, quae gratia est vobis? Nam et peccatores peccatoribus fenerantur, ut recipiant aequalia.

34 And if you give on loan to those from whom you hope to receive, what grace is there for you? For even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may receive equal amounts.

35 Verumtamen diligite inimicos vestros et benefacite et mutuum date nihil desperantes; et erit merces vestra multa, et eritis filii Altissimi, quia ipse benignus est super ingratos et malos.

35 Nevertheless, love your enemies and do good and lend, expecting nothing; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind toward the ungrateful and the wicked.

36 Estote ergo misericordes, sicut et Pater vester misericors est.

36 Be therefore merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37 Et nolite iudicare et non iudicabimini; et nolite condemnare et non condemnabimini. Dimittite et dimittemini;

37 And do not judge and you will not be judged; and do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven;

38 date et dabitur vobis; mensuram bonam, confertam et coagitatam et supereffluentem dabunt in sinum vestrum; eadem quippe mensura, qua mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis."

38 give and it will be given to you; a good measure, pressed down and shaken together and overflowing, they will give into your bosom; for with the same measure with which you will have measured, it will be measured back to you."

39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: "Numquid potest caecus caecum ducere? Nonne ambo in foveam cadent?

39 But he was also telling them a parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will not both fall into a pit?

40 Non est discipulus super magistrum; perfectus autem omnis erit sicut magister eius.

40 A disciple is not above the master; but everyone, when perfected, will be like his master.

41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quae in oculo tuo est, non consideras?

41 But why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, yet the beam that is in your own eye you do not consider?

42 et quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo: ʻFrater, sine eiciam festucam de oculo tuo,ʻ ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns. Hypocrita, eice primum trabem de oculo tuo et tunc perspicies ut educas festucam de oculo fratris tui.

42 and how can you say to your brother: ʻBrother, allow me to cast out the speck from your eye,ʻ you yourself not seeing the beam in your own eye. Hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to draw out the speck from your brother’s eye.

43 Non est enim arbor bona quae facit fructus malos neque arbor mala faciens fructum bonum.

43 For there is no good tree that produces bad fruits, nor a bad tree producing good fruit.

44 Unaquaeque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur; neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus, neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.

44 For each tree is recognized by its own fruit; for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble.

45 Bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum, et malus homo de malo profert malum ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.

45 A good man from the good treasury of his heart proffers good, and an evil man from the evil proffers evil, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

46 Quid autem vocatis me: ʻDomine, Domineʻ et non facitis quae dico?

46 But why do you call me: ʻLord, Lordʻ and not do what I say?

47 Omnis, qui venit ad me et audit sermones meos et facit eos, ostendam vobis cui similis est:

47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you whom he is like:

48 similis est homini aedificanti domum, qui fodit in altum et posuit fundamenta supra petram; inundatione autem facta, inlisum est flumen domui illi, et non potuit eam movere, fundata enim erat supra petram.

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and set the foundations upon rock; but when an inundation happened, the river was dashed against that house, and it could not move it, for it had been founded upon rock.

49 Qui autem audivit et non fecit, similis est homini aedificanti domum suam supra terram sine fundamento, in quam inlisus est fluvius et continuo concidit, et facta est ruina domus illius magna."

49 But he who has heard and did not do is like a man building his own house upon the earth without a foundation, against which the river was dashed, and it collapsed at once, and the ruin of that house was great."

[7]

1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.

1 But when he had fulfilled all his words into the ears of the people, he entered Capernaum.

2 Centurionis autem cuiusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus, qui illi erat pretiosus.

2 But the servant of a certain centurion, being ill, was about to die, who was precious to him.

3 Et cum audisset de Iesu, misit ad eum seniores Iudaeorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum eius.

3 And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.

4 At illi cum venissent ad Iesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: "Quia dignus est ut hoc illi praestes;

4 But they, when they had come to Jesus, were beseeching him solicitously, saying to him: "For he is worthy that you grant this to him;"

5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse aedificavit nobis."

5 for he loves our nation, and he himself built the synagogue for us."

6 Iesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens: "Domine, noli vexari: non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres,

6 But Jesus was going with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: "Lord, do not be vexed: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,"

7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te; sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.

7 for which reason I also did not deem myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites: et dico huic, ʻVadeʻ, et vadit: et alii, ʻVeni,ʻ et venit: et servo meo, ʻFac hoc,ʻ et facit."

8 For I too am a man constituted under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, ʻGo,ʻ and he goes: and to another, ʻCome,ʻ and he comes: and to my servant, ʻDo this,ʻ and he does it."

9 Quo audito, Iesus miratus est et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: "Amen dico vobis, nec in Israel tantam fidem inveni."

9 On hearing this, Jesus marveled and, turning to the crowds following him, said: "Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."

10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.

10 And those who had been sent, having returned home, found the servant who had been languishing, sound.

11 Et factum est deinceps, ibat in civitatem quae vocatur Naim, et ibant cum eo discipuli eius et turba copiosa.

11 And it came to pass thereafter, he was going to a city which is called Naim, and his disciples and a copious crowd were going with him.

12 Cum autem appropinquaret portae civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suae, et haec vidua erat, et turba civitatis multa cum illa.

12 And as he was approaching the gate of the city, behold, the deceased was being borne out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a great crowd of the city was with her.

13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: "Noli flere".

13 When the Lord saw her, moved with mercy over her, he said to her: "Do not weep."

14 Et accessit et tetigit loculum; hi autem, qui portabant, steterunt. Et ait: "Adolescens, tibi dico, surge".

14 And he approached and touched the bier; and those who were carrying stood still. And he said: "Young man, I say to you, arise".

15 Et resedit, qui erat mortuus, et coepit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suae.

15 And he who had been dead sat up, and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

16 Accepit autem omnes timor; et magnificabant Deum, dicentes quia "Propheta magnus surrexit in nobis" et quia "Deus visitavit plebem suam".

16 But fear took hold of all; and they were magnifying God, saying that "A great Prophet has arisen among us" and that "God has visited his people".

17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Iudaeam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.

17 And this report went out into all Judea concerning him, and into all the surrounding region.

18 Et nuntiaverunt Ioanni discipuli eius de omnibus his.

18 And his disciples reported to John about all these things.

19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Ioannes, et misit ad Iesum, dicens: "Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?"

19 And John convoked two of his disciples, and sent to Jesus, saying: "Are you the one who is to come, or are we expecting another?"

20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: "Ioannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: ʻTu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?ʻ

20 But when the men had come to him, they said: "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying: ʻAre you the one who is to come, or are we to expect another?ʻ

21 In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et caecis multis donavit visum.

21 And in that very hour he healed many of infirmities, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

22 Et respondens, dixit illis: "Euntes renuntiate Ioanni, quae audistis et vidistis: quia caeci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur;

22 And answering, he said to them: "Going, report back to John what you have heard and seen: that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized;"

23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me".

23 and blessed is whoever shall not be scandalized in me".

24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Ioannis, coepit de Ioanne dicere ad turbas: "Quid existis in desertum videre? Arundinem vento agitatam?

24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed agitated by the wind?

25 Sed quid existis videre? Hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce, qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.

25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who are in precious clothing and in delights are in the houses of kings.

26 Sed quid existis videre? Prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:

26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Indeed, I tell you, and more than a prophet:

27 Hic est, de quo scriptum est: ʻEcce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui praeparabit viam tuam ante teʻ.

27 This is he, of whom it is written: ʻBehold, I send my angel before your face, who will prepare your way before youʻ.

28 Dico enim vobis: maior inter natos mulierum propheta Ioanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, maior est illo".

28 For I say to you: among those born of women, no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; but the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he".

29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, iustificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Ioannis.

29 And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

30 Pharisaei autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.

30 But the Pharisees and the law-experts spurned the counsel of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

31 Ait autem Dominus: "Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis huius? Et cui similes sunt?

31 And the Lord said: "Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: ʻCantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastisʻ.

32 They are like children sitting in the forum, and speaking to one another, and saying: ʻWe played the pipes for you, and you did not dance; we lamented, and you did not weepʻ.

33 Venit enim Ioannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: ʻDaemonium habetʻ.

33 For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say: ʻHe has a demonʻ.

34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: ʻEcce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorumʻ.

34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say: ʻBehold a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of publicans and sinnersʻ.

35 Et iustificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis".

35 And wisdom has been justified by all her children".

36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisaeis, ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisaei discubuit.

36 Now a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him to eat with him. And, having entered the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.

37 Et ecce mulier, quae erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisaei, attulit alabastrum unguenti

37 And behold, a woman, who was in the city a sinner, when she learned that he had reclined at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of unguent

38 et stans retro secus pedes eius, lacrimis coepit rigare pedes eius et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes eius et unguento ungebat.

38 and standing behind at his feet, she began to wet his feet with tears and was wiping them with the hairs of her head, and she was kissing his feet and anointing them with unguent.

39 Videns autem pharisaeus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: "Hic, si esset propheta, sciret utique quae et qualis est mulier, quae tangit eum, quia peccatrix est".

39 But the Pharisee, seeing it, who had invited him, said within himself, saying: "This man, if he were a prophet, would surely know who and what sort of woman this is who touches him, because she is a sinner".

40 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illum: "Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere". At ille ait: "Magister, dic".

40 And Jesus, answering, said to him: "Simon, I have something to say to you". But he said: "Teacher, say it".

41 "Duo debitores erant cuidam foeneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.

41 "There were two debtors to a certain moneylender: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42 Non habentibus illis, unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?"

42 As they had nothing with which to repay, he forgave both. Which therefore loves him more?"

43 Respondens Simon dixit: "Aestimo quia is, cui plus donavit". At ille dixit: "Recte iudicasti".

43 Responding, Simon said: "I suppose that the one to whom he forgave more." And he said: "You have judged rightly."

44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: "Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti; haec autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.

44 And, having turned to the woman, he said to Simon: "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, you did not give water for my feet; but she has irrigated my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.

45 Osculum mihi non dedisti; haec autem, ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.

45 You did not give me a kiss; but she, from the time she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti; haec autem unguento unxit pedes meos.

46 With oil you did not anoint my head; but she has anointed my feet with unguent.

47 Propter quod dico tibi: Remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum; cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit."

47 Therefore I say to you: Many sins are remitted to her, because she loved much; but the one to whom less is remitted, loves less."

48 Dixit autem ad illam: "Remittuntur tibi peccata".

48 But he said to her: "Your sins are forgiven."

49 Et coeperunt, qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: "Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?"

49 And those who were reclining together began to say within themselves: "Who is this who even forgives sins?"

50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: "Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace".

50 But he said to the woman: "Your faith has saved you; go in peace".

[8]

1 Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates et castella praedicans et evangelizans regnum Dei; et duodecim cum illo,

1 And it came to pass thereafter, that he himself was journeying through cities and villages, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,

2 et mulieres aliquae, quae erant curatae a spiritibus malignis et infirmatibus, Maria, quae vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem daemonia exierant,

2 and certain women, who had been cured of malignant spirits and infirmities, Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven daemons had gone out,

3 et Ioanna uxor Chusae procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliae multae, quae ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.

3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s procurator, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their own resources.

4 Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:

4 And when a very great crowd was coming together, and from the cities they were hastening to him, he said by a parable:

5 "Exiit, qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres caeli comederunt illud.

5 "The one who sows went out to sow his seed. And while he was sowing, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled, and the birds of heaven ate it.

6 Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.

6 And another fell upon the rock: and, having sprung up, it withered, because it did not have moisture.

7 Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortae spinae suffocaverunt illud.

7 And another fell among thorns, and the thorns that sprang up together suffocated it.

8 Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam et ortum fecit fructum centuplum". Haec dicens clamabat: "Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat".

8 And another fell into good soil and, having sprung up, produced fruit a hundredfold". Saying these things, he was crying out: "He who has ears for hearing, let him hear".

9 Interrogabant autem eum discipuli eius, quae esset haec parabola.

9 And his disciples were asking him what this parable might be.

10 Quibus ipse dixit: "Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis, ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.

10 To whom he himself said: "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

11 "Est autem haec parabola: Semen est verbum Domini.

11 "Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of the Lord.

12 Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt; deinde venit Diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.

12 But those by the wayside are those who hear; then the Devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should be saved.

13 Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum; et hi radices non habent, qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.

13 For those upon the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no roots, who believe for a time, and in the time of temptation fall away.

14 Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt, qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitae euntes, suffocantur et non referunt fructum.

14 But what fell among thorns: these are those who have heard, and, as they go, by the solicitudes and riches and pleasures of life, they are suffocated and do not bring forth fruit.

15 Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.

15 But what fell into good soil: these are those who, in a good and excellent heart, hearing the word, retain it, and bear fruit in patience.

16 "Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit, sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.

16 "But no one lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed, but sets it upon a candelabrum, so that those entering may see the light.

17 Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur, nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.

17 For there is nothing occult that will not be made manifest, nor hidden that will not be known and come into the open.

18 Videte ergo quomodo audiatis: qui enim habet, dabitur illi; et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo".

18 See therefore how you hear: for whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him".

19 Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres eius, et non poterant adire eum prae turba.

19 But his mother and his brothers came to him, and they could not approach him because of the crowd.

20 Et nuntiatum est illi: "Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre".

20 And it was announced to him: "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see you".

21 Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: "Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt".

21 But he, answering, said to them: "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it".

22 Factum est autem in una dierum, et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli eius, et ait ad illos: "Transfretemus trans stagnum". Et ascenderunt.

22 And it came to pass on one of the days, that he himself went up into a little boat, and his disciples, and he said to them: "Let us cross over the lake." And they embarked.

23 Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.

23 And while they were sailing, he fell asleep, and a squall of wind descended upon the lake, and they were being filled, and were in peril.

24 Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: "Praeceptor, perimus". At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquae, et cessavit, et facta est tranquillitas.

24 But approaching, they roused him, saying: "Preceptor, we are perishing." And he, rising, rebuked the wind and the tempest of the water, and it ceased, and tranquility came to be.

25 Dixit autem illis: "Ubi est fides vestra?" Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: "Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?"

25 But he said to them: "Where is your faith?" And they, fearing, marveled among themselves, saying: "Who, do you suppose, is this, that even the winds and the sea he commands, and they obey him?"

26 Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quae est contra Galilaeam.

26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

27 Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat daemonium iam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.

27 And when he had gone out onto the land, there met him a certain man who had a demon for a long time, and he did not wear a garment, nor did he remain in a house, but among the tombs.

28 Is, ut vidit Iesum, procidit ante illum, et exclamans voce magna, dixit: "Quid mihi et tibi est, Iesu Fili Dei Altissimi? Obsecro te, ne me torqueas".

28 He, when he saw Jesus, fell down before him, and, exclaiming with a great voice, said: "What is there to me and to you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me."

29 Praecipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a daemonio in deserta.

29 For he was commanding the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For many times it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and kept under guard with fetters. And, the bonds having been broken, he was driven by the demon into desert places.

30 Interrogavit autem illum Iesus, dicens: "Quod tibi nomen est?" At ille dixit: "Legio," quia intraverant daemonia multa in eum.

30 But Jesus asked him, saying: "What is your name?" And he said: "Legion," because many demons had entered into him.

31 Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent.

31 And they begged him not to command them to go into the abyss.

32 Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte, et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.

32 Now there was there a herd of many swine grazing on the mountain, and they were begging him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.

33 Exierunt ergo daemonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos; et impetu abiit grex per praeceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.

33 Therefore the demons went out from the man and entered into the swine; and at a rush the herd went headlong down the steep into the lake, and was drowned.

34 Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas.

34 When those who were feeding them saw what had happened, they fled, and announced in the city and in the country.

35 Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Iesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo daemonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes eius, et timuerunt.

35 But they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the demons had gone out, clothed and of sound mind, at his feet, and they were afraid.

36 Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione;

36 And those also who had seen reported to them how he had been made sound from the legion;

37 et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis, quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.

37 and all the multitude of the region of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, because they were held by great fear. But he, embarking into the ship, returned.

38 Et rogabat illum vir, a quo daemonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Iesus, dicens:

38 And the man, from whom the demons had gone out, was begging him that he might be with him. But Jesus dismissed him, saying:

39 "Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus". Et abiit per universam civitatem, praedicans quanta illi fecisset Iesus.

39 "Return to your home, and relate how great things God has done for you." And he went throughout the entire city, proclaiming how great things Jesus had done for him.

40 Factum est autem cum rediisset Iesus, excepit illum turba; erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum.

40 Now it came to pass that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him; for they were all expecting him.

41 Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Iairus, et ipse princeps synagogae erat, et cecidit ad pedes Iesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum eius,

41 And behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and he himself was chief of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, begging him to enter into his house,

42 quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et haec moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.

42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened, while he was going, he was being pressed by the crowd.

43 Et mulier quaedam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quae in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari;

43 And a certain woman was in a flow of blood for twelve years, who had expended all her substance on physicians, and could not be cured by anyone;

44 accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti eius, et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis eius.

44 she approached from behind, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

45 Et ait Iesus: "Quis est, qui me tetigit?" Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: "Praeceptor, turbae te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: ʻQuis me tetigit?"

45 And Jesus said: "Who is it who touched me?" But when all were denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: "Master, the crowds press upon you and crush you, and you say: ʻWho touched me?'"

46 Et dicit Iesus: "Tetigit me aliquis; nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse".

46 And Jesus says: "Someone touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me".

47 Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes eius; et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo, et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.

47 But the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before his feet; and for what cause she had touched him, she indicated before all the people, and how she had been healed immediately.

48 At ipse dixit ei: "Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace".

48 But he himself said to her: "Daughter, your faith has saved you: go in peace".

49 Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogae, dicens ei quia "Mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum".

49 While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him that "Your daughter has died; do not trouble him".

50 Iesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellae: "Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit".

50 But Jesus, having heard this word, answered the girl’s father: "Do not fear; only believe, and she will be saved".

51 Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et patrem, et matrem puellae.

51 And when he had come to the house, he did not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father, and the mother of the girl.

52 Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: "Nolite flere: non est mortua puella, sed dormit".

52 But all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said: "Do not weep: the girl is not dead, but is sleeping".

53 Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.

53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

54 Ipse autem tenens manum eius clamavit, dicens: "Puella, surge".

54 But he himself, holding her hand, cried out, saying: "Girl, arise".

55 Et reversus est spiritus eius, et surrexit continuo. Et iussit illi dari manducare.

55 And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he ordered that she be given something to eat.

56 Et stupuerunt parentes eius, quibus praecepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.

56 And her parents were stupefied, and he commanded them not to tell anyone what had been done.

[9]

1 Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia, et ut languores curarent.

1 And having called together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure illnesses.

2 Et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei et sanare infirmos.

2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.

3 Et ait ad illos: "Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis.

3 And he said to them: "Carry nothing on the way, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two tunics.

4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis.

4 And into whatever house you enter, stay there, and do not exit from there.

5 Et quicumque non receperint vos, exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos".

5 And whoever will not receive you, going out from that city, even the dust of your feet shake off as a testimony against them".

6 Egressi autem circumibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.

6 And going out, they went around through the villages, evangelizing and curing everywhere.

7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quae fiebant ab eo, et haesitabat eo quod diceretur

7 But Herod the tetrarch heard all the things that were being done by him, and he was perplexed because it was being said

8 a quibusdam quia "Ioannes surrexit a mortuis"; a quibusdam vero quia "Elias apparuit:"; ab aliis autem quia "Propheta unus de antiquis surrexit".

8 by some that "John has risen from the dead"; by some indeed that "Elijah has appeared:"; but by others that "one of the ancient prophets has risen".

9 Et ait Herodes: "Ioannem ego decollavit: quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio?" Et quaerebat videre eum.

9 And Herod said: "I beheaded John: who then is this, about whom I hear such things?" And he was seeking to see him.

10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quaecumque fecerunt. Et assumptis illis, secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidae.

10 And the Apostles, having returned, narrated to him whatever things they had done. And, taking them along, he withdrew apart into a desert place, which is Bethsaida.

11 Quod cum cognovissent turbae, secutae sunt illum. Et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.

11 When the crowds had come to know this, they followed him. And he received them, and was speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and those who were in need of cure he was healing.

12 Dies autem coeperat declinare, et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi: "Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella villasque quae circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas; quia hic in loco deserto sumus".

12 But the day had begun to decline, and the twelve, drawing near, said to him: "Dismiss the crowds, so that, going into the villages and the villas which are around, they may turn aside and find food; for we are here in a deserted place".

13 Ait autem ad illos: "Vos date illis manducare". At illi dixerunt: "Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces, nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas".

13 But he said to them: "You give them to eat". But they said: "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this crowd".

14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos: "Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos".

14 Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: "Make them recline in banquet groups of fifty each."

15 Et ita fecerunt, et discumbere fecerunt omnes.

15 And thus they did, and they caused all to recline.

16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, respexit in caelum, et benedixit illis; et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas.

16 Having received the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up into heaven and blessed them; and he broke and distributed to his disciples, that they might set them before the crowds.

17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.

17 And all ate, and were satisfied. And what was left over for them was taken up, twelve baskets of fragments.

18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli, et interrogavit illos, dicens: "Quem me dicunt esse turbae?"

18 And it came to pass, while he was praying alone, the disciples were also with him; and he asked them, saying: "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt: "Ioannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero unus propheta de prioribus surrexit".

19 But they answered and said: "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; but others indeed that one of the former prophets has risen."

20 Dixit autem illis: "Vos autem, quem me esse dicitis?" Respondens Simon Petrus, dixit: "Christum Dei".

20 But he said to them: "And you, who do you say that I am?" Answering, Simon Peter said: "The Christ of God."

21 At ille increpans illos, praecepit ne cui dicerent hoc,

21 But he, rebuking them, commanded that they should tell this to no one,

22 dicens: "Quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere".

22 saying: "That it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and to be killed, and on the third day to rise."

23 Dicebat autem ad omnes: "Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me.

23 But he said to all: "If anyone wills to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam; nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam.

24 For whoever will have wished to save his soul will lose it; for whoever loses his soul for my sake, he will save it.

25 Quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat?

25 For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world, but lose himself, and incur detriment to himself?

26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones, hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in maiestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum.

26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when he shall have come in his majesty, and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

27 Dico autem vobis vere, sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei".

27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God".

28 Factum est autem post haec verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret.

28 And it came to pass, after these words, about eight days, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus eius altera et vestitus eius albus et refulgens.

29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and gleaming.

30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses et Elias,

30 And behold, two men were speaking with him. They were Moses and Elias,

31 visi in maiestate; et dicebant excessum eius, quem completurus erat in Ierusalem.

31 seen in majesty; and they were speaking of his exodus, which he was about to complete in Jerusalem.

32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt maiestatem eius, et duos viros qui stabant cum illo.

32 But Peter, and those who were with him, were weighed down with sleep. And waking, they saw his majesty, and the two men who were standing with him.

33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Iesum: "Praeceptor, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliae""; nesciens quid diceret.

33 And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: "Preceptor, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias""; not knowing what he was saying.

34 Haec autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos, et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem.

34 But as he was speaking these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens: "Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite".

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: "This is my beloved Son; listen to him".

36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Iesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his quae viderant.

36 And while the voice was sounding, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and in those days told no one anything of the things they had seen.

37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa.

37 But it came to pass on the following day, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met them.

38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens: "Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi;

38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying: "Master, I beseech you, look upon my son, for he is my only son;

39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum:

39 and behold, a spirit apprehends him, and he suddenly cries out, and it dashes him down, and convulses him with foam, and scarcely departs, rending him:

40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eiicerent illum, et non potuerunt".

40 and I begged your disciples to eject it, and they were not able".

41 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit: "O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos? Adduc huc filium tuum".

41 And Jesus, answering, said: "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither your son".

42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum daemonium, et dissipavit. Et increpavit Iesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri eius.

42 And as he was approaching, the demon dashed him down and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei.

43 And all were astonished at the magnitude of God.

44 Omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quae faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos: "Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos: Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum:".

44 And while all were marveling at all the things he was doing, he said to his disciples: "Lay these words in your hearts: for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men:".

45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.

45 But they were ignorant of this word, and it was veiled before them so that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to interrogate him about this word.

46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum maior esset.

46 But a cogitation entered into them, as to which of them might be greater.

47 At Iesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se,

47 But Jesus, seeing the cogitations of their heart, took hold of a child, and set him beside himself,

48 et ait illis: "Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic maior est".

48 and he said to them: "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all, he is greatest".

49 Respondens autem Ioannes dixit: "Praeceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo eiicientem daemonia, et prohibuimus eum, quia non sequitur nobiscum".

49 But John, answering, said: "Preceptor, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us".

50 Et ait ad illum Iesus: "Nolite prohibere. Qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est".

50 And Jesus said to him: "Do not forbid. For whoever is not against you is for you".

51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis eius, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Ierusalem.

51 And it came to pass, when the days of his being taken up were being fulfilled, he himself set his face to go to Jerusalem.

52 Et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum. Et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi.

52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans that they might prepare for him.

53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies eius erat euntis in Ierusalem.

53 And they did not receive him, because his face was that of one going into Jerusalem.

54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli eius Iacobus et Ioannes, dixerunt: "Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de caelo, et consumat illos?"

54 But when his disciples Jacob and John saw this, they said: "Lord, do you will that we say that fire descend from heaven, and consume them?"

55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens: "Nescitis cuius spiritus estis.

55 And having turned, he rebuked them, saying: "You do not know of what spirit you are.

56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare". Et abierunt in aliud castellum.

56 "The Son of Man did not come to destroy souls, but to save them". And they went to another village.

57 Factum est autem, ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum: "Sequar te quocumque ieris".

57 And it came to pass, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him: "I will follow you wherever you go".

58 Dixit illi Iesus: "Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres caeli nidos, Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinetʻ.

58 Jesus said to him: "Foxes have dens, and the birds of heaven nests, but the Son of Man does not have where he may recline his headʻ.

59 Ait autem ad alterum: "Sequere me". Ille autem dixit: "Domine, permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum".

59 And he said to another: "Follow me". But he said: "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father".

60 Dixitque ei Iesus: "Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos; tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei".

60 And Jesus said to him: "Let the dead bury their own dead; but you, go, and announce the kingdom of God".

61 Et ait alter: "Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his quae domi sunt".

61 And another said: "I will follow you, Lord, but permit me first to bid farewell to those who are at home".

62 Ait ad illum Iesus: "Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei".

62 Jesus said to him: "No one putting his hand to the plow and looking back is apt for the kingdom of God".

[10]

1 Post haec autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos, et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus.

1 But after these things the Lord also designated another seventy-two, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

2 Et dicebat illis: "Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam.

2 And he was saying to them: "The harvest indeed is much, but the laborers are few. Therefore ask the lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest.

3 Ite; ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos.

3 Go; behold, I send you like lambs among wolves.

4 Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis.

4 Do not carry a purse, nor a bag, nor shoes, and salute no one on the way.

5 In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite: 'Pax huic domui'.

5 Into whatever house you may enter, first say: 'Peace to this house'.

6 Et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra; sin autem, ad vos revertetur.

6 And if there should be there a son of peace, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will revert to you.

7 In eadem autem domo manete, edentes et bibentes quae apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum.

7 But remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things which are with them: for the worker is worthy of his wage. Do not pass from house to house.

8 Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quae apponuntur vobis,

8 And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you,

9 et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis: 'Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei'.

9 and cure the infirm who are in it, and say to them: 'The kingdom of God has approached unto you'.

10 In quamcumque autem civitatem intraveritis, et non susceperint vos, exeuntes in plateas eius, dicite:

10 But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, going out into its streets, say:

11 'Etiam pulverem, qui adhaesit nobis de civitate vestra, extergimus in vos; tamen hoc scitote, quia appropinquavit regnum Dei'.

11 'Even the dust which has adhered to us from your city, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn near'.

12 Dico vobis, quia Sodomis in die illa remissius erit, quam illi civitati.

12 I tell you, that it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that city.

13 Vae tibi Corozain! Vae tibi Bethsaida! Quia si in Tyro et Sidone factae fuissent virtutes quae factae sunt in vobis, olim in cilicio et cinere sedentes poeniterent.

13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon the mighty works had been done which have been done in you, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

14 Verumtamen Tyro et Sidoni remissius erit in iudicio, quam vobis.

14 Nevertheless for Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

15 Et tu Capharnaum, usque ad caelum exaltata, usque ad infernum demergeris.

15 And you, Capernaum, exalted up to heaven, you will be plunged down to hell.

16 Qui vos audit, me audit; et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum qui misit me".

16 He who hears you, hears me; and he who spurns you, spurns me. But he who spurns me, spurns him who sent me".

17 Reversi sunt autem septuaginta duo cum gaudio, dicentes: "Domine, etiam daemonia subiiciuntur nobis in nomine tuo".

17 And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name".

18 Et ait illis: "Videbam Satanam sicut fulgor de caelo cadentem.

18 And he said to them: "I was seeing Satan like lightning falling from heaven.

19 Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes, et scorpiones, et super omnem virtutem inimici, et nihil vobis nocebit.

19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents, and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you.

20 Verumtamen in hoc nolite gaudere quia spiritus vobis subiiciuntur; gaudete autem, quod nomina vestra scripta sunt in caelis".

20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subjected to you; but rejoice that your names are written in the heavens".

21 In ipsa hora exsultavit Spiritu Sancto, et dixit: "Confiteor tibi Pater, Domine caeli et terrae, quod abscondisti haec a sapientibus et prudentibus, et revelasti ea parvulis. Etiam Pater, quoniam sic placuit ante te.

21 In that very hour he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said: "I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, because thus it was pleasing before you.

22 Omnia mihi tradita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo scit quis sit Filius, nisi Pater, et quis sit Pater, nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare".

22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal him".

23 Et conversus ad discipulos suos, dixit: "Beati oculi qui vident quae vos videtis.

23 And turning to his disciples, he said: "Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see.

24 Dico enim vobis quod multi prophetae et reges voluerunt videre quae vos videtis, et non viderunt, et audire quae auditis, et non audierunt".

24 For I say to you that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear."

25 Et ecce quidam legisperitus surrexit tentans illum, et dicens: "Magister, quid faciendo vitam aeternam possidebo?"

25 And behold, a certain lawyer rose up, tempting him, and saying: "Master, by doing what shall I possess eternal life?"

26 At ille dixit ad eum: "In lege quid scriptum est? Quomodo legis?""

26 And he said to him: "What is written in the law? How do you read it?""

27 Ille respondens dixit: "Diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex omnibus virtutibus tuis, et ex omni mente tua: et proximum tuum sicut teipsum".

27 He, responding, said: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strengths, and with all your mind: and your neighbor as yourself".

28 Dixitque illi: "Recte respondisti; hoc fac, et vives".

28 And he said to him: "You have answered rightly; do this, and you will live."

29 Ille autem volens iustificare seipsum, dixit ad Iesum: "Et quis est meus proximus?"

29 But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus: "And who is my neighbor?"

30 Suscipiens autem Iesus, dixit: "Homo quidam descendebat ab Ierusalem in Iericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum, et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto.

30 But Jesus, taking it up, said: "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and after inflicting wounds went away, leaving him half-dead.

31 Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via, et viso illo praeterivit.

31 It happened that a certain priest was descending by the same way, and, seeing him, he passed by.

32 Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit.

32 Likewise also a Levite, when he was near the place, and saw him, passed by.

33 Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum, et videns eum, misericordia motus est.

33 But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came alongside him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion.

34 Et appropians alligavit vulnera eius, infundens oleum et vinum; et imponens illum in iumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam eius egit.

34 And approaching he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and placing him on his own beast, he led him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait: 'Curam illius habe, et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi'.

35 And on the next day he brought out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said: 'Have care of him, and whatever you supererogate, I, when I return, will repay you'.

36 Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones?"

36 Which of these three seems to you to have been a neighbor to him who fell among robbers?"

37 At ille dixit: "Qui fecit misericordiam in illum". Et ait illi Iesus: "Vade, et tu fac similiter".

37 But he said: "The one who showed mercy to him". And Jesus said to him: "Go, and you do likewise".

38 Factum est autem, dum irent, et ipse intravit in quoddam castellum, et mulier quaedam, Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam.

38 Now it came to pass, while they were going, he himself entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

39 Et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini, audiebat verbum illius.

39 And she had a sister named Mary, who also, sitting at the feet of the Lord, was listening to his word.

40 Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium; quae stetit, et ait: "Domine, non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? Dic ergo illi ut me adiuvet".

40 But Martha was busy about frequent service; who stood and said: "Lord, is it not a care to you that my sister has left me alone to minister? Therefore say to her that she may help me".

41 Et respondens dixit illis Dominus: "Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima,

41 And answering, the Lord said to them: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and are troubled about many things,

42 porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea".

42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which will not be taken away from her".

[11] 1 Et factum est, cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis eius ad eum: "Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Ioannes discipulos suos". 2 Et ait illis: "Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. 3 Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.

[11] 1 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain place praying, that as he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples". 2 And he said to them: "When you pray, say: Father, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. 3 Give us today our daily bread.

4 Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem".

4 And forgive us our sins, since we ourselves also forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation".

5 Et ait ad illos: "Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: 'Amice, commoda mihi tres panes, 6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum', 7 et ille de intus respondens dicat: 'Noli mihi molestus esse, iam ostium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi'. 8 Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans, dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus eius sit, propter improbitatem tamen eius surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.

5 And he said to them: "Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and will say to him: 'Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 because my friend has come to me from the road to me, and I do not have what I may set before him,' 7 and he from within answering should say: 'Do not be troublesome to me; the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you.' 8 And if he should persist knocking, I tell you, even if he will not give to him by rising because he is his friend, yet on account of his importunity he will rise and give to him as many as are necessary.

9 Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis. 10 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit; et qui quaerit, invenit; et pulsanti aperietur. 11 Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi?

9 And I say to you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one knocking it will be opened. 11 Which of you, moreover, if he asks his father for bread, would give him a stone?

Aut piscem, numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi? 12 Aut si petierit ovum, numquid porriget illi scorpionem? 13 Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris, quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?"

Or a fish, surely he will not give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, surely he will not hand him a scorpion? 13 Therefore, if you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your sons, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good spirit to those who ask him?"

14 Et erat eiiciens daemonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset daemonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratae sunt turbae. 15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: "In Beelzebub, principe daemoniorum, eiicit daemonia". 16 Et alii tentantes, signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo. 17 Ipse autem, ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: "Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.

14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was mute. And when he had cast out the demon, the mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said: "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he casts out demons." 16 And others, testing him, were seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, as he saw their cogitations, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated, and house upon house will fall.

18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? Quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere daemonia. 19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemonia, filii vestri in quo eiiciunt?

18 But if even Satan has been divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that in Beelzebub I cast out demons. 19 But if I cast out demons in Beelzebub, in whom do your sons cast them out?

Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt. 20 Porro si in digito Dei eiicio daemonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei. 21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea quae possidet.

Therefore they themselves will be your judges. 20 Moreover, if by the finger of God I cast out demons: surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, armed, guards his own atrium, the things he possesses are in peace.

22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet. 23 Qui non est mecum, contra me est; et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.

22 But if one stronger than he, coming upon him, conquers him, he will take away all his arms, in which he had confidence, and he will distribute his spoils. 23 He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not collect with me disperses.

24 Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quaerens requiem et non inveniens dicit: 'Revertar in domum meam unde exivi'. 25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam. 26 Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus".

24 When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, it walks through waterless places, seeking rest, and not finding it says: 'I will return to my house whence I went out'. 25 And when it has come, it finds it swept with brooms, and adorned. 26 Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits with it, more wicked than itself, and having entered they dwell there. And the last things of that man become worse than the former".

27 Factum est autem, cum haec diceret, extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi: "Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti". 28 At ille dixit: "Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud".

27 And it came to pass, as he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: "Blessed the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you suckled". 28 But he said: "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it".

29 Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere: "Generatio haec, generatio nequam est; signum quaerit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae. 30 Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis, ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti. 31 Regina austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius, et condemnabit illos, quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis, et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.

29 But as the crowds were running together he began to say: "This generation is a nefarious generation; it seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so too will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.

32 Viri Ninivitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam quia poenitentiam egerunt ad praedicationem Ionae, et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.

32 The men of Nineveh will rise in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, more than Jonah is here.

33 Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio, sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant. 34 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit; si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.

33 No one lights a lamp, and puts it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel, but upon a candelabrum, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye is simple, your whole body will be luminous; but if it is evil, even your body will be dark.

35 Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sint. 36 Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te".

35 See therefore lest the light that is in you be darkness. 36 If therefore your whole body is wholly luminous, having no part of darkness, the whole will be luminous, and, like a lamp of radiance, it will illuminate you".

37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit. 38 Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium. 39 Et ait Dominus ad illum: "Nunc vos pharisaei, quod deforis est calicis et catini, mundatis, quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina et iniquitate.

37 And while he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And going in, he reclined. 38 But the Pharisee began, considering within himself, to say why he had not been washed before the meal. 39 And the Lord said to him: "Now you Pharisees cleanse what is outside of the cup and the dish, but what is inside of you is full of rapine and iniquity.

40 Stulti! Nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit? 41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam, et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.

40 Fools! Did not he who made what is outside also make that which is inside? 41 Nevertheless, what remains, give alms, and behold, all things are clean for you.

42 Sed vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne holus, et praeteritis iudicium et caritatem Dei. Haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere. 43 Vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.

42 But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint, and rue, and every vegetable, and you pass by judgment and the charity of God. These, moreover, it was necessary to do, and not to omit those. 43 Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the first chairs in the synagogues, and salutations in the forum.

44 Vae vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt."

44 Woe to you, because you are like monuments that do not appear, and men walking over them do not know it."

45 Respondens autem quidam ex legisperitis, ait illi: "Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis". 46 At ille ait: "Et vobis legisperitis, vae quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas. 47 Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta prophetarum, patres autem vestri occiderunt illos. 48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum, quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.

45 Then, answering, a certain one of the legal experts said to him: "Master, in saying these things you are also doing contumely to us." 46 But he said: "And to you legal experts, woe, because you load men with burdens which they are not able to carry, and you yourselves do not touch the packs with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you, who build the monuments of the prophets, but your fathers killed them. 48 Surely you testify that you consent to the works of your fathers, since they indeed killed them, but you build their sepulchers."

49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos prophetas, et apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur, 50 ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista, 51 a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, qui periit inter altare et aedem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione. 52 Vae vobis, legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiae; ipsi non introistis, et eos qui introibant, prohibuistis.

49 Therefore also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and they will persecute, 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, which has been poured out from the constitution of the world, may be required from this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel up to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Thus I say to you, it will be required of this generation. 52 Woe to you, jurists, because you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and those who were entering, you prohibited.

53 Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt pharisaei et legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis, 54 insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.

53 But when he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the legal-experts began to press him gravely, and to oppress his mouth about many things, 54 lying in wait for him, and seeking to seize something from his mouth, so that they might accuse him.

[12]

1 Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos: "Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis.

1 But as many crowds were standing around, so that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples: "Beware of the ferment of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur, neque absconditum, quod non sciatur.

2 But nothing is covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.

3 Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur, et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis.

3 For the things that you have said in the darkness will be said in the light, and what you have spoken into the ear in the bedchambers will be proclaimed on the rooftops.

4 Dico autem vobis amicis meis: Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant.

4 But I say to you, my friends: Do not be terrified by those who kill the body, and after these things have nothing more that they can do.

5 Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis: timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam. Ita dico vobis, hunc timete.

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has the authority to send into Gehenna. Thus I say to you, fear this one.

6 Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio? Et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for a dupondius? And not one of them is in oblivion before God.

7 Sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere; multis passeribus pluris estis vos.

7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not therefore be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8 Dico autem vobis: Omnis, quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei;

8 But I say to you: Everyone, whoever will have confessed me before men, the Son of Man also will confess him before the angels of God;

9 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabitur coram angelis Dei.

9 but whoever shall have denied me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10 Et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis, remittetur illi; ei autem qui in Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit, non remittetur.

10 And everyone who says a word against the Son of Man, it will be remitted to him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be remitted.

11 Cum autem inducent vos in synagogas, et ad magistratus, et potestates, nolite solliciti esse qualiter, aut quid respondeatis, aut quid dicatis.

11 But when they bring you into synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not be anxious how, or what you should answer, or what you should say.

12 Spiritus enim Sanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora quid oporteat vos dicere.

12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

13 Ait autem ei quidam de turba: "Magister, dic fratri meo ut dividat mecum haereditatem".

13 But someone from the crowd said to him: "Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

14 At ille dixit illi: "Homo, quis me constituit iudicem, aut divisorem super vos?"

14 But he said to him: "Man, who has appointed me a judge, or divider over you?"

15 Dixitque ad illos: "Videte, et cavete ab omni avaritia, quia non in abundantia cuiusquam vita eius est ex his quae possidet".

15 And he said to them: "See, and beware of all avarice, for a person's life is not in the abundance of the things he possesses".

16 Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos, dicens: "Hominis cuiusdam divitis uberes fructus ager attulit,

16 But he spoke a parable to them, saying: "The field of a certain rich man brought forth abundant fruits,

17 et cogitabat intra se dicens: 'Quid faciam, quia non habeo quo congregem fructus meos?'

17 and he was thinking within himself, saying: 'What shall I do, because I do not have where I may gather my fruits?'

18 Et dixit: 'Hoc faciam: destruam horrea mea, et maiora faciam, et illuc congregabo omnia quae nata sunt mihi, et bona mea,

18 And he said: 'This will I do: I will destroy my granaries, and I will make greater ones, and there I will congregate all the things that have been produced for me, and my goods,

19 et dicam animae meae: Anima, habes multa bona posita in annos plurimos; requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare'.

19 and I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods laid up for very many years; rest, eat, drink, feast.'

20 Dixit autem illi Deus: 'Stulte, hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te; quae autem parasti, cuius erunt.'

20 But God said to him: 'Fool, this night they demand your soul from you; and the things which you have prepared, whose will they be.'

21 Sic est qui sibi thesaurizat, et non est in Deum dives".

21 So is he who treasures up for himself, and is not rich toward God."

22 Dixitque ad discipulos suos: "Ideo dico vobis: nolite solliciti esse animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori quid induamini.

22 And he said to his disciples: "Therefore I say to you: do not be solicitous for your soul what you may eat, nor for your body what you may put on.

23 Anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum.

23 The soul is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

24 Considerate corvos, quia non seminant, neque metunt, quibus non est cellarium, neque horreum, et Deus pascit illos. Quanto magis vos pluris estis illis?

24 Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor reap, for whom there is no cellar nor granary, and God feeds them. How much more are you worth than they?

25 Quis autem vestrum cogitando potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?

25 And which of you by thinking is able to add one cubit to his stature?

26 Si ergo neque quod minimum est potestis, quid de ceteris solliciti estis?

26 If therefore you are not even able to do what is least, why are you solicitous about the rest?

27 Considerate lilia quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent; dico autem vobis, nec Salomon in omni gloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis.

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not labor, nor do they spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was vested like one of these.

28 Si autem foenum, quod hodie est in agro, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos pusillae fidei?

28 But if God thus clothes the hay, which today is in the field and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more you, O you of little faith?

29 Et vos nolite quaerere quid manducetis, aut quid bibatis, et nolite solliciti esse.

29 And you, do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be solicitous.

30 Haec enim omnia gentes mundi quaerunt. Pater autem vester scit quoniam his indigetis.

30 For all these things the nations of the world seek. But your Father knows that you need these.

31 Verumtamen quaerite primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius, et haec omnia adiicientur vobis.

31 Nevertheless, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things will be added to you.

32 Nolite timere, pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum.

32 Do not fear, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.

33 Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis, quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.

33 Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor does moth corrupt.

34 Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.

34 For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

35 Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris,

35 Let your loins be girded, and lamps burning in your hands,

36 et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis, ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei.

36 and you be like men awaiting their lord when he returns from the nuptials, so that, when he has come and knocked, they may immediately open to him.

37 Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes. Amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis.

37 Blessed are those servants whom, when the lord comes, he finds vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will make them recline, and, passing by, will minister to them.

38 Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi.

38 And if he should come in the second vigil, and if he should come in the third vigil, and find them thus, blessed are those servants.

39 Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.

39 But know this, that if the paterfamilias had known at what hour the thief would come, he would surely keep watch, and would not permit his house to be broken through.

40 Et vos estote parati, quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.

40 And you, be ready, for at an hour you do not think, the Son of Man will come.

41 Ait autem et Petrus: "Domine, ad nos dicis hanc parabolam, an et ad omnes?"

41 But Peter also said: "Lord, do you say this parable to us, or also to all?"

42 Dixit autem Dominus: "Quis, putas, est fidelis dispensator, et prudens, quem constituit dominus supra familiam suam, ut det illis in tempore tritici mensuram?

42 But the Lord said: "Who, do you suppose, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master has appointed over his household, to give them in due time a measure of wheat?

43 Beatus ille servus quem, cum venerit dominus, invenerit ita facientem.

43 Blessed is that servant whom, when the lord comes, he will find so doing.

44 Vere dico vobis, quoniam supra omnia quae possidet, constituet illum.

44 Truly I say to you, that over all the things which he possesses, he will appoint him.

45 Quod si dixerit servus ille in corde suo: 'Moram facit dominus meus venire,' et coeperit percutere servos, et ancillas, et edere, et bibere, et inebriari,

45 But if that servant should say in his heart: 'My lord delays to come,' and begin to strike the male servants and the maidservants, and to eat, and to drink, and to be inebriated,

46 veniet dominus servi illius in die qua non sperat, et hora qua nescit, et dividet eum, partemque eius cum infidelibus ponet.

46 the lord of that servant will come on a day he does not expect, and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in two, and will set his portion with the infidels.

47 Ille autem servus qui cognovit voluntatem domini sui, et non praeparavit, et non facit secundum voluntatem eius, vapulabit multis;

47 But that servant who knew the will of his lord, and did not prepare, and does not do according to his will, will be beaten with many;

48 qui autem non cognovit, et fecit digna plagis, vapulabit paucis. Omni autem cui multum datum est, multum quaeretur ab eo: et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.

48 but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. But to everyone to whom much has been given, much will be sought from him; and from him to whom they have committed much, they will ask more.

49 Ignem veni mittere in terram, et quid volo nisi ut accendatur?

49 I came to send fire upon the earth, and what do I want except that it be kindled?

50 Baptismo autem habeo baptizari et quomodo coarctor usque dum perficiatur?

50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I constrained until it be accomplished?

51 Putatis quia pacem veni dare in terram? Non, dico vobis, sed separationem.

51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but separation.

52 Erunt enim ex hoc quinque in domo una divisi, tres in duos, et duo in tres;

52 For from henceforth there will be five divided in one house, three against two, and two against three;

53 dividentur pater in filium, et filius in patrem suum, mater in filiam, et filia in matrem, socrus in nurum suam, et nurus in socrum suam".

53 they will be divided: father against son, and son against his father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law"

54 Dicebat autem et ad turbas: "Cum videritis nubem orientem ab occasu, statim dicitis: 'Nimbus venit,' et ita fit.

54 Moreover he was also saying to the crowds: "When you see a cloud rising from the west, at once you say: 'A nimbus comes,' and so it happens.

55 Et cum austrum flantem, dicitis 'Aestus erit,' et fit.

55 And when the south wind is blowing, you say, 'There will be heat,' and it happens.

56 Hypocritae! Faciem caeli et terrae nostis probare, hoc autem tempus quomodo non probatis?

56 Hypocrites! You know how to prove the face of the sky and of the earth, but this time how do you not prove it?

57 Quid autem et a vobis ipsis non iudicatis quod iustum est?

57 And why do you not even from your own selves judge what is just?

58 Cum autem vadis cum adversario tuo ad principem, in via da operam liberari ab illo, ne forte trahat te ad iudicem, et iudex tradat te exactori, et exactor mittat te in carcerem.

58 But when you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be freed from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer send you into prison.

59 Dico tibi, non exies inde, donec etiam novissimum minutum reddas".

59 I tell you, you will not go out from there, until you pay back even the very last small coin".

[13]

1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilaeis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.

1 Now there were certain men present at that very time, announcing to him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 Et respondens dixit illis: "Putatis quod hi Galilaei prae omnibus Galilaeis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?

2 And responding he said to them: "Do you suppose that these Galileans have been sinners above all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

3 Non, dico vobis sed nisi paenitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.

3 No, I tell you, but unless you have repentance, you will all likewise perish.

4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloam, et occidit eos, putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint praeter omnes homines habitantes in Ierusalem?

4 Just as those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they themselves were debtors beyond all the men inhabiting in Jerusalem?

5 Non, dico vobis, sed si paenitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis".

5 No, I tell you, but unless you do penance, you will all likewise perish".

6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem: "Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quaerens fructum in illa, et non invenit.

6 But he was also saying this similitude: "A fig-tree a certain man had planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and did not find."

7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vineae: 'Ecce anni tres sunt, ex quo venio quaerens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio. Succide ergo illam; ut quid etiam terram occupat?'

7 But he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: 'Behold, three years it is since I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I do not find it. Cut it down therefore; why does it even occupy the ground?'

8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: 'Domine, dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora,

8 But he, answering, says to him: 'Lord, let it alone even this year, until I dig around it and put manure,'

9 et siquidem fecerit fructum; sin autem, in futurum succides eam'."

9 and if indeed it should make fruit; but if not, in the future you will cut it down'."

10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.

10 Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the sabbath days.

11 Et ecce mulier, quae habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo, et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.

11 And behold, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years, and was bent over, and was not at all able to look up.

12 Quam cum videret Iesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: "Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua".

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and said to her: "Woman, you are released from your infirmity".

13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.

13 And he laid hands on her, and immediately she was made erect, and was glorifying God.

14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Iesus, dicebat turbae: "Sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari: in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati".

14 But the archisynagogue, answering, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, was saying to the crowd: "There are six days on which it is necessary to work: on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath".

15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit: "Hypocritae, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a praesepio, et ducit adaquare?

15 But the Lord, answering him, said: "Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it to water?

16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahae, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?"

16 But this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold, for eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"

17 Et cum haec diceret, erubescant omnes adversarii eius, et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quae gloriosae fiebant ab eo.

17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the things that were glorious that were being done by him.

18 Dicebat ergo: "Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile aestimabo illud?

18 Therefore he was saying: "To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what shall I compare it?

19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam, et volucres caeli requieverunt in ramis eius".

19 It is like a mustard seed, which, when taken, a man cast into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the sky rested in its branches".

20 Et iterum dixit: "Cui simile aestimabo regnum Dei?

20 And again he said: "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?"

21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinae sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum".

21 It is like ferment, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was fermented".

22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Ierusalem.

22 And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making the journey to Jerusalem.

23 Ait autem illi quidam: "Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur?" Ipse autem dixit ad illos:

23 But a certain one said to him: "Lord, are there few who are saved?" But he himself said to them:

24 "Contendite intrare per angustam portam, quia multi, dico vobis, quaerent intrare, et non poterunt.

24 "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes 'Domine, aperi nobis' et respondens dicet vobis: 'Nescio vos unde sitis'.

25 And when the householder has entered and has shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying 'Lord, open to us' and, responding, he will say to you: 'I do not know you, whence you are'.

26 Tunc incipietis dicere: 'Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti'.

26 Then you will begin to say: 'We ate before you, and we drank, and in our streets you taught'.

27 Et dicet vobis: 'Nescio vos unde sitis; discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis'.

27 And he will say to you: 'I do not know you whence you are; depart from me, all workers of iniquity'.

28 Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium, cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Iacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.

28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves expelled outside.

29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.

29 And they will come from the east, and the west, and the north, and the south, and will recline at table in the kingdom of God.

30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi".

30 And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last".

31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam pharisaeorum, dicentes illi: "Exi, et vade hinc, quia Herodes vult te occidere".

31 On that very day certain of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: "Go out, and go from here, because Herod wants to kill you".

32 Et ait illis: "Ite, et dicite vulpi illi: 'Ecce eicio daemonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.

32 And he said to them: "Go, and say to that fox: 'Behold I cast out demons, and I perfect healings today, and tomorrow, and on the third day I am consummated.

33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare, quia non capit prophetam perire extra Ierusalem'.

33 'Nevertheless it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day, because it does not befit a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem'.

34 Ierusalem, Ierusalem, quae occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti?

34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kill the prophets, and stone those who are sent to you, how often I wished to gather your children as a bird her nest under her wings, and you were unwilling?

35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: 'Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini'."

35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. But I say to you, that you will not see me until it comes when you will say: 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'."

[14]

1 Et factum est cum intraret Iesus in domum cuiusdam principis pharisaeorum sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus entered the house of a certain ruler of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, they themselves were observing him.

2 Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum.

2 And behold, a certain hydropic man was before him.

3 Et respondens Iesus dixit ad legisperitos et pharisaeos, dicens: "Si licet sabbato curare?"

3 And Jesus, answering, said to the jurists and Pharisees, saying: "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?"

4 At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit.

4 But they were silent. He himself, after taking hold of him, healed him, and dismissed him.

5 Et respondens ad illos dixit: "Cuius vestrum asinus, aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati?"

5 And answering to them he said: "Which of you, if a donkey or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately draw it out on the Sabbath day?"

6 Et non poterant ad haec respondere illi.

6 And they were not able to respond to these things.

7 Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:

7 And he also was saying a parable to the invited, observing how they were choosing the first places for reclining, saying to them:

8 "Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab illo.

8 "When you have been invited to nuptials, do not recline in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honorable than you be invited by him.

9 Et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: 'Da huic locum'; et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.

9 And coming, the one who called both you and him may say to you: 'Give place to this man'; and then you begin with shame to hold the last place.

10 Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: 'Amice, ascende superius'. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus.

10 But when you have been invited, go, recline in the lowest place so that, when he who invited you comes, he may say to you: 'Friend, ascend higher'. Then there will be glory for you before those reclining together.

11 Quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur".

11 Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and he who humbles himself will be exalted".

12 Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat: Cum facis prandium, aut cenam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites, ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio.

12 And he was also saying to the one who had invited him: When you make a luncheon or a dinner, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your cognates, nor wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they also re-invite you, and repayment be made to you.

13 Sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et caecos;

13 But when you make a banquet, call the poor, the feeble, the lame, and the blind;

14 et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi. Retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum".

14 and you will be blessed, because they have nothing with which to repay you. For it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the just".

15 Haec cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: "Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei".

15 When one of those reclining together at table heard these things, he said to him: "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God".

16 At ipse dixit ei: "Homo quidam fecit cenam magnam, et vocavit multos.

16 But he said to him: "A certain man made a great banquet, and invited many.

17 Et misit servum suum hora cenae dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia iam parata sunt omnia.

17 And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those invited to come, because now all things are prepared.

18 Et coeperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei: 'Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam; rogo te, habe me excusatum'.

18 And they began simultaneously all to excuse themselves. The first said to him: 'I have bought a villa, and I have it necessary to go out and to see it; I ask you, have me excused'.

19 Et alter dixit: 'Iuga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa; rogo te, habe me excusatum'.

19 And another said: 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I ask you, have me excused'.

20 Et alius dixit: 'Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire'.

20 And another said: 'I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to come'.

21 Et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias dixit servo suo: 'Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis et pauperes, ac debiles, et caecos, et claudos introduc huc'.

21 And the servant returned and reported these things to his lord. Then, angry, the master of the household said to his servant: 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the weak, and the blind, and the lame'.

22 Et ait servus: 'Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est'.

22 And the servant said: 'Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and there is still room'.

23 Et ait dominus servo: 'Exi in vias et saepes, et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.

23 And the lord said to the servant: 'Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel to enter, so that my house may be filled.

24 Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum, qui vocati sunt, gustabit cenam meam'."

24 But I say to you that none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner'."

25 Ibant autem turbae multae cum eo, et conversus dixit ad illos:

25 Now many crowds were going with him, and turning he said to them:

26 "Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus.

26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and further even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Et qui non baiulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus.

27 And whoever does not bear his own cross, and comes after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim aedificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum,

28 For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first, sitting down, compute the expenses that are necessary, whether he has for perfecting it,

29 ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei,

29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to complete it, all who see begin to deride him,

30 dicentes: 'Quia hic homo coepit aedificare, et non potuit consummare?'

30 saying: 'This man began to build, and was not able to consummate?'

31 Aut quis rex, iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se?

31 Or what king, about to wage war against another king, does not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to face him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quae pacis sunt.

32 Otherwise, while that one is still far away, sending a legation he asks for terms of peace.

33 Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quae possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus.

33 So therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses cannot be my disciple.

34 Bonum est sal; si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur?

34 Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35 Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.

35 Neither for the earth nor for the dunghill is it useful, but it will be cast out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

[15]

1 Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum.

1 Now there were drawing near to him publicans and sinners, that they might hear him.

2 Et murmurabant pharisaei, et scribae, dicentes: "Hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis".

2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying: "This man receives sinners and eats with them".

3 Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens:

3 And he said to them this parable, saying:

4 "Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quae perierat, donec inveniat eam?

4 "Which man among you, who has a hundred sheep, and if he has lost one of them, does he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go to the one that was lost, until he finds it?

5 Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens

5 And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing

6 et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis: 'Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quae perierat'.

6 and coming home he calls together friends and neighbors, saying to them: 'Congratulate me, because I have found my sheep which was lost'.

7 Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore paenitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem iustis, qui non indigent paenitentia.

7 I tell you that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner doing penitence, more than over ninety-nine just persons who do not need penitence.

8 Aut quae mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quaerit diligenter, donec inveniat?

8 Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she has lost one drachma, does she not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search diligently until she finds it?

9 Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens: 'Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram'.

9 And when she has found it she convokes her friends and neighbors, saying: 'Congratulate me, because I have found the drachma which I had lost'.

10 Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore paenitentiam agente".

10 So, I tell you, there will be joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

11 Ait autem: "Homo quidam habuit duos filios.

11 But he said: "A certain man had two sons."

12 Et dixit adolescentior ex illis patri: 'Pater, da mihi portionem substantiae, quae me contingit'. Et divisit illis substantiam.

12 And the younger of them said to the father: 'Father, give me the portion of the substance that falls to me'. And he divided the substance to them.

13 Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adolescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam, et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose.

13 And not after many days, with all things gathered together, the younger son set out abroad into a far-distant region, and there he dissipated his substance by living luxuriously.

14 Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse coepit egere.

14 And after he had consumed everything, a severe famine arose in that region, and he began to be in want.

15 Et abiit, et adhaesit uni civium regionis illius, et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos.

15 And he went away, and he attached himself to one of the citizens of that region, and he sent him into his farm to feed swine.

16 Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis, quas porci manducabant, et nemo illi dabat.

16 And he was desiring to fill his belly with the pods which the swine were eating, and no one gave to him.

17 In se autem reversus, dixit: 'Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus, ego autem hic fame pereo!

17 But having returned to himself, he said: 'How many hired men in my father's house abound with bread, while I here am perishing with hunger!'

18 Surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei: Pater, peccavi in caelum, et coram te

18 I will arise, and I will go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you

19 et iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus: fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis'.

19 and I am now no longer worthy to be called your son: make me like one of your hired servants'.

20 Et surgens venit ad patrem suum.

20 And rising, he came to his father.

Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit super collum eius, et osculatus est eum.

But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and, moved with compassion, ran up, fell upon his neck, and kissed him.

21 Dixitque ei filius: 'Pater, peccavi in caelum, et coram te; iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus'.

21 And the son said to him: 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son'.

22 Dixit autem pater ad servos suos: 'Cito proferte stolam primam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum eius, et calceamenta in pedes eius

22 But the father said to his servants: 'Quickly proffer the first robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet

23 et adducite vitulum saginatum, et occidite, et manducemus, et epulemur,

23 and bring the fattened calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and let us feast,

24 quia hic filius meus mortuus erat, et revixit, perierat, et inventus est'. Et coeperunt epulari.

24 because this son of mine was dead, and revived, he had perished, and has been found'. And they began to feast.

25 Erat autem filius eius senior in agro et, cum veniret, et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum.

25 But his elder son was in the field, and, as he was coming and drawing near to the house, he heard symphony and chorus.

26 Et vocavit unum de servis, et interrogavit quid haec essent.

26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things were.

27 Isque dixit illi: 'Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit'.

27 And he said to him: 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him safe and sound'.

28 Indignatus est autem, et nolebat introire. Pater ergo illius egressus, coepit rogare illum.

28 But he became indignant, and he was unwilling to enter. Therefore his father, having gone out, began to entreat him.

29 At ille respondens, dixit patri suo: 'Ecce tot annis servio tibi, et numquam mandatum tuum praeterivi, et numquam dedisti mihi haedum ut cum amicis meis epularer.

29 But he, answering, said to his father: 'Behold, for so many years I serve you, and never have I transgressed your command, and never did you give me a kid, that I might feast with my friends.

30 Sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum'.

30 But after this your son, who has devoured his substance with harlots, came, you killed for him the fatted calf'.

31 At ipse dixit illi: 'Fili, tu semper mecum es, et omnia mea tua sunt:;

31 But he said to him: 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours:;'

32 epulari autem, et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat, et revixit, perierat, et inventus est'."

32 but it was fitting to banquet and to rejoice, because this your brother had died, and has revived, had perished, and has been found'."

[16]

1 Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: "Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum, et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.

1 And he was also saying to his disciples: "A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and this man was denounced before him as though he had dissipated his goods."

2 Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: 'Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem villicationis tuae; iam enim non poteris villicare'.

2 And he called him, and said to him: 'What is this that I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship; for now you will no longer be able to administer'.

3 Ait autem villicus intra se: 'Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.

3 But the steward said within himself: 'What shall I do, because my lord is taking away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed.

4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas'.

4 I know what I will do, so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses'.

5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: 'Quantum debes domino meo?'

5 Therefore, having called together each of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: 'How much do you owe my lord?'

6 At ille dixit: 'Centum cados olei'. Dixitque illi: 'Accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta'.

6 And he said: 'A hundred casks of oil'. And he said to him: 'Take your caution (bond) and sit down quickly, write fifty'.

7 Deinde alii dixit: 'Tu vero quantum debes?' Qui ait: 'Centum coros tritici'. Ait illi: 'Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta'.

7 Then to another he said: 'But you, how much do you owe?' He said: 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him: 'Receive your letters, and write eighty.'

8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset; quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt.

8 And the lord praised the steward of iniquity, because he had acted prudently; for the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light in their own generation.

9 Et ego vobis dico: Facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis, ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula.

9 And I say to you: Make for yourselves friends from the mammon of iniquity, so that, when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est; et qui in modico iniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.

10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in what is greater; and he who is unjust in what is little is unjust also in what is greater.

11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis?

11 If therefore in unrighteous mammon you have not been faithful, who will entrust to you what is true?

12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?

12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another’s, who will give you what is yours?

13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget, aut uni adhaerebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae.

13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will adhere to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

14 Audiebant autem omnia haec pharisaei, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.

14 Now the Pharisees, who were avaricious, were hearing all these things: and they were deriding him.

15 Et ait illis: Vos estis qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum".

15 And he said to them: You are those who justify yourselves before men: but God knows your hearts: because what is exalted among men is an abomination before God".

16 Lex et prophetae usque ad Joannem; ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.

16 The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the kingdom of God is evangelized, and everyone forces his way into it.

17 Facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere.

17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one apex to fall from the law.

18 Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur; et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.

18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.

19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day.

20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, ulceribus plenus,

20 And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who was lying at his gate, full of ulcers,

21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat, sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.

21 desiring to be satiated from the crumbs that were falling from the rich man’s table, and no one gave to him, but even the dogs came and licked his ulcers.

22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.

22 And it came to pass that the mendicant died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. But the rich man also died, and was buried in the infernal realm.

23 Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu eius.

23 And lifting up his eyes, while he was in torments, he saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 Et ipse clamans dixit: 'Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma'.

24 And he, crying out, said: 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the extremity of his finger in water, to cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame'.

25 Et dixit illi Abraham: 'Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala; nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris.

25 And Abraham said to him: 'Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise the bad things; but now here he is consoled, while you are tormented.

26 Et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est, ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare'.

26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been made firm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you are not able, nor to cross over from there to here'.

27 Et ait: 'Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei –

27 And he said: 'I beg you therefore, father, that you send him to my father's house –

28 habeo enim quinque fratres – ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum'.

28 for I have five brothers – that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torments'.

29 Et ait illi Abraham: 'Habent Moysen et prophetas; audiant illos'.

29 And Abraham said to him: 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them'.

30 At ille dixit: 'Non, pater Abraham, sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent'.

30 But he said: 'No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will do penance'.

31 Ait autem illi: 'Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent'."

31 But he said to him: 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, even if someone should rise from the dead'."

[17]

1 Et ait ad discipulos suos: "Impossibile est ut non veniant scandala; vae autem illi per quem veniunt.

1 And he said to his disciples: "It is impossible that scandals should not come; however, woe to that one through whom they come.

2 Utilius est illi si lapis molaris imponatur circa collum eius, et proiciatur in mare quam ut scandalizet unum de pusillis istis.

2 It is more expedient for him if a millstone be placed around his neck, and he be cast into the sea than that he scandalize one of these little ones.

3 Attendite vobis!

3 Take heed to yourselves!

Si peccaverit in te frater tuus, increpa illum, et si paenitentiam egerit, dimitte illi.

If your brother has sinned against you, rebuke him, and if he has done penitence, forgive him.

4 Et si septies in die peccaverit in te, et septies in die conversus fuerit ad te, dicens: 'Paenitet me', dimitte illi".

4 And if seven times in a day he should sin against you, and seven times in a day he should turn back to you, saying: 'I repent', forgive him".

5 Et dixerunt apostoli Domino: "Adauge nobis fidem".

5 And the apostles said to the Lord: "Increase our faith".

6 Dixit autem Dominus: "Si habueritis fidem sicut granum sinapis, dicetis huic arbori moro: 'Eradicare, et transplantare in mare', et obediet vobis.

6 But the Lord said: "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mulberry tree: 'Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea,' and it will obey you.

7 Quis autem vestrum habens servum arantem aut pascentem, qui regresso de agro dicat illi: 'Statim transi, recumbe'.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or pasturing, who, on his return from the field, will say to him: 'Immediately come over, recline'.

8 Et non dicat ei: 'Para quod cenem, et praecinge te, et ministra mihi donec manducem, et bibam, et post haec tu manducabis, et bibes?'

8 And does he not say to him: 'Prepare what I am to dine, and gird yourself, and minister to me until I eat and drink, and after this you will eat and drink?'

9 Numquid gratiam habet servo illi, quia fecit quae ei imperaverat?

9 Does he show gratitude to that servant, because he did the things he had commanded him?

10 Sic et vos, cum feceritis omnia quae praecepta sunt vobis, dicite: 'Servi inutiles sumus: quod debuimus facere, fecimus'."

10 Thus also you, when you have done all the things that are commanded to you, say: 'We are unprofitable servants: we have done what we ought to have done'."

11 Et factum est, dum iret in Ierusalem, transibat per mediam Samariam et Galilaeam.

11 And it came to pass, while he was going to Jerusalem, he was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Et cum ingrederetur quoddam castellum, occurrerunt ei decem viri leprosi, qui steterunt a longe,

12 And as he was entering a certain small town, there met him ten men, leprous, who stood at a distance,

13 Et levaverunt vocem, dicentes: "Iesu praeceptor, miserere nostri".

13 And they lifted up their voice, saying: "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us".

14 Quos ut vidit, dixit: "Ite, ostendite vos sacerdotibus". Et factum est, dum irent, mundati sunt.

14 When he saw them, he said: "Go, show yourselves to the priests". And it came to pass that, while they were going, they were cleansed.

15 Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundatus est, regressus est, cum magna voce magnificans Deum,

15 But one of them, when he saw that he had been cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a great voice,

16 et cecidit in faciem ante pedes eius, gratias agens; et hic erat Samaritanus.

16 and he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

17 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit: "Nonne decem mundati sunt? Et novem ubi sunt?

17 And Jesus, answering, said: "Were not ten cleansed? And the nine, where are they?"

18 Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena?"

18 Was none found to return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?"

19 Et ait illi: "Surge, vade, quia fides tua te salvum fecit".

19 And he said to him: "Rise, go, for your faith has saved you".

20 Interrogatus autem a pharisaeis "Quando venit regnum Dei?" respondens eis, dixit: "Non venit regnum Dei cum observatione,

20 But being interrogated by the Pharisees, "When does the kingdom of God come?" responding to them, he said: "The kingdom of God does not come with observation,"

21 neque dicent: 'Ecce hic' aut 'ecce illic'. Ecce enim regnum Dei intra vos est".

21 nor will they say: 'Behold here' or 'behold there.' For behold, the kingdom of God is within you".

22 Et ait ad discipulos suos: "Venient dies, quando desideretis videre unum diem Filii hominis, et non videbitis.

22 And he said to his disciples: "Days will come, when you will desire to see one day of the Son of Man, and you will not see it."

23 Et dicent vobis: 'Ecce hic' et 'ecce illic'. Nolite ire, neque sectemini.

23 And they will say to you: 'Behold, here' and 'behold, there'. Do not go, nor follow.

24 Nam, sicut fulgur coruscans de sub caelo in ea quae sub caelo sunt, fulget, ita erit Filius hominis in die sua.

24 For, just as lightning coruscating from under heaven shines in the things that are under heaven, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

25 Primum autem oportet illum multa pati, et reprobari a generatione hac.

25 But first it is necessary that he suffer many things, and be reprobated by this generation.

26 Et sicut factum est in diebus Noe, ita erit et in diebus Filii hominis:

26 And as it happened in the days of Noah, so also it will be in the days of the Son of Man:

27 edebant et bibebant, uxores ducebant et dabantur ad nuptias, usque in diem, qua intravit Noe in arcam, et venit diluvium, et perdidit omnes.

27 they were eating and drinking, they were taking wives and were being given in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came and destroyed them all.

28 Similiter sicut factum est in diebus Lot: edebant et bibebant, emebant et vendebant, plantabant et aedificabant;

28 Similarly as it happened in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;

29 qua die autem exiit Lot a Sodomis, pluit ignem et sulphur de caelo, et omnes perdidit.

29 but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Secundum haec erit, qua die Filius hominis revelabitur.

30 According to these things it will be, on the day on which the Son of Man will be revealed.

31 In illa hora, qui fuerit in tecto, et vasa eius in domo, ne descendat tollere illa, et qui in agro, similiter non redeat retro.

31 In that hour, whoever will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not descend to take them up, and whoever is in the field, likewise let him not return backward.

32 Memores estote uxoris Lot.

32 Be mindful of Lot’s wife.

33 Quicumque quaesierit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam, et quicumque perdiderit illam, vivificabit eam.

33 Whoever seeks to make his life safe, will lose it; and whoever loses it, will vivify it.

34 Dico vobis: In illa nocte erunt duo in lecto uno: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur;

34 I say to you: in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left;

35 duae erunt molentes in unum: una assumetur, et altera relinquetur; duo in agro: unus assumetur, et alter relinquetur".

35 two women will be grinding together: one will be taken, and the other left; two will be in the field: one will be taken, and the other left".

36 Respondentes dicunt illi: "Ubi Domine?"

36 Answering, they say to him: "Where, Lord?"

37 Qui dixit illis: "Ubicumque fuerit corpus, illuc congregabuntur et aquilae".

37 He said to them: "Wherever the body shall be, there the eagles will also be gathered."

[18]

1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,

1 And he was also telling a parable to them, that one ought always to pray and not lose heart,

2 dicens: "Iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.

2 saying: "A certain judge was in a certain city, who did not fear God, and did not revere man.

3 Vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: 'Vindica me de adversario meo'.

3 But a certain widow was in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying: 'Vindicate me from my adversary'.

4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post haec autem dixit intra se: 'Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor,

4 And he was unwilling for a long time. After these things, however, he said within himself: 'Even if I do not fear God, nor do I revere man,

5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me'."

5 yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will vindicate her, lest at the last, coming, she give me a black eye'."

6 Ait autem Dominus: "Audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit:

6 But the Lord said: "Hear what the judge of iniquity says:

7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?

7 But will not God bring vindication for his elect who cry out to him day and night, and will he have patience concerning them?

8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?"

8 I say to you that he will quickly make their vindication. Nevertheless, the Son of Man, coming, do you think, will he find faith on the earth?

9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam iusti, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:

9 But he also said to certain ones who confided in themselves as righteous, and spurned the others, this parable:

10 "Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisaeus et alter publicanus.

10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray: one a Pharisee and the other a publican.

11 Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat: 'Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, iniusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus;

11 The Pharisee, standing, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I give thanks to you, because I am not like the rest of men: rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican;

12 ieiuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quae possideo'.

12 'I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess'.

13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare, sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: 'Deus, propitius esto mihi peccatori'.

13 And the publican, standing at a distance, was not willing even to lift his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying: 'God, be propitious to me, a sinner'.

14 Dico vobis, descendit hic iustificatus in domum suam ab illo. Quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur".

14 I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one. For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted".

15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.

15 Moreover, they were bringing to him even infants, that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.

16 Iesus autem convocans illos, dixit: "Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos; talium est enim regnum Dei.

16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: "Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud".

17 Amen I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter into it".

18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: "Magister bone, quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo?"

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying: "Good Master, doing what shall I possess eternal life?"

19 Dixit autem ei Iesus: "Quid me dicis bonum? Nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.

19 But Jesus said to him: "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone."

20 Mandata nosti: non occides, non moechaberis, non furtum facies, non falsum testimonium dices, honora patrem tuum et matrem".

20 You know the commandments: you shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother".

21 Qui ait: "Haec omnia custodivi a iuventute mea".

21 He said: "All these I have kept from my youth."

22 Quo audito, Iesus ait ei: "Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quaecumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo et veni, sequere me".

22 Upon hearing this, Jesus said to him: "Still one thing is lacking to you: sell everything whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me".

23 His ille auditis, contristatus est, quia dives erat valde.

23 On hearing these things, he was made sorrowful, because he was very rich.

24 Videns autem Iesus illum tristem factum, dixit: "Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!

24 But Jesus, seeing him made sad, said: "How difficult it is for those who have monies to enter into the kingdom of God!

25 Facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei".

25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God".

26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: "Et quis potest salvus fieri?"

26 And those who were listening said: "And who can be saved?"

27 Ait illis: "Quae impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum".

27 He said to them: "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God".

28 Ait autem Petrus: "Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te".

28 But Peter said: "Behold, we have left behind all things and have followed you".

29 Qui dixit eis: "Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

29 He said to them: "Amen I say to you, there is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in saeculo venturo vitam aeternam."

30 and does not receive much more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."

31 Assumpsit autem Iesus duodecim, et ait illis: "Ecce ascendimus Ierosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:

31 But Jesus took the twelve, and said to them: "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which have been written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be consummated:"

32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur,

32 for he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked, and he will be scourged, and he will be spat upon,

33 et, postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget".

33 and, after they have scourged him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again".

34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quae dicebantur.

34 And they understood nothing of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were being said.

35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Iericho, caecus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

35 And it came to pass, when he was drawing near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36 Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

36 And when he heard the crowd passing by, he was asking what this was.

37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret.

37 But they said to him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.

38 Et clamavit, dicens: "Iesu, fili David, miserere mei".

38 And he cried out, saying: "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me".

39 Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: "Fili David, miserere mei".

39 And those who were going before rebuked him that he should be silent. But he cried out much more: "Son of David, have mercy on me".

40 Stans autem Iesus iussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

40 But Jesus, standing, ordered him to be led to himself. And when he had approached, he questioned him,

41 dicens: "Quid tibi vis faciam?" At ille dixit: "Domine, ut videam".

41 saying: "What do you want me to do for you?" But he said: "Lord, that I may see."

42 Et Iesus dixit illi: "Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit".

42 And Jesus said to him: "Receive your sight; your faith has saved you".

43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.

43 And immediately he saw, and was following him, magnifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

[19]

1 Et ingressus perambulabat Iericho.

1 And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho.

2 Et ecce vir nomine Zachaeus, et hic princeps erat publicanorum, et ipse dives.

2 And behold, a man by name Zachaeus, and this one was chief of the publicans, and he himself was rich.

3 Et quaerebat videre Iesum, quis esset, et non poterat prae turba, quia statura pusillus erat.

3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, who he was, and he was not able on account of the crowd, because he was small in stature.

4 Et praecurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum ut videret eum, quia inde erat transiturus.

4 And running ahead he climbed into a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way.

5 Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Iesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: "Zachaee, festinans descende, quia hodie in domo tua oportet me manere".

5 And when he had come to the place, Jesus, looking up, saw him, and said to him: "Zacchaeus, hastening, come down, because today it is necessary for me to remain in your house".

6 Et festinans descendit, et excepit illum gaudens.

6 And hurrying he came down, and received him rejoicing.

7 Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.

7 And when all saw it, they were murmuring, saying that he had turned aside to be the guest of a sinful man.

8 Stans autem Zachaeus, dixit ad Dominum: "Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus, et si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum".

8 But Zacchaeus, standing, said to the Lord: "Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore quadruple."

9 Ait Iesus ad eum: "Hodie salus domui huic facta est, eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahae.

9 Jesus said to him: "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.

10 Venit enim Filius hominis quaerere, et salvum facere quod perierat".

10 For the Son of Man came to seek, and to save what was lost".

11 Haec illis audientibus adiiciens, dixit parabolam, eo quod esset prope Ierusalem: et quia existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur.

11 Adding these things as they were listening, he spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God would be manifested immediately.

12 Dixit ergo: "Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.

12 Therefore he said: "A certain noble man went into a far-off region to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem minas, et ait ad illos: 'Negotiamini dum venio'.

13 But having called his ten servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them: 'Do business until I come'.

14 Cives autem eius oderant eum et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes: 'Nolumus hunc regnare super nos'.

14 But his citizens hated him and sent a legation after him, saying: 'We do not wish this man to reign over us'.

15 Et factum est ut rediret, accepto regno et iussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset.

15 And it came to pass that he returned, having received the kingdom, and he ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called, so that he might know how much each had negotiated.

16 Venit autem primus dicens: 'Domine, mina tua decem minas acquisivit'.

16 But the first came, saying: 'Lord, your mina has acquired ten minas'.

17 Et ait illi: 'Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates'.

17 And he said to him: 'Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a small matter, you will have authority over ten cities'.

18 Et alter venit, dicens: 'Domine, mina tua fecit quinque minas'.

18 And another came, saying: 'Lord, your mina has made five minas'.

19 Et huic ait: 'Et tu esto super quinque civitates'.

19 And to him he said: 'And you, be over five cities'.

20 Et alter venit, dicens: 'Domine, ecce mina tua, quam habui repositam in sudario;

20 And another came, saying: 'Lord, behold your mina, which I had laid away in a sudarium;'

21 timui enim te, quia homo austerus es: tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti'.

21 for I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up what you did not place, and you reap what you did not sow'.

22 Dicit ei: 'De ore tuo te iudico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi?

22 He says to him: 'Out of your own mouth I judge you, wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not put down, and reaping what I did not sow?

23 Et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?'

23 And why did you not give my money to the bank, so that I, on coming, would certainly have exacted it with interest?'

24 Et astantibus dixit: 'Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem minas habet'.

24 And to those standing by he said: 'Take from him the mina, and give it to him who has ten minas'.

25 Et dixerunt ei: 'Domine, habet decem minas'.

25 And they said to him: 'Lord, he has ten minas'.

26 Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit; ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.

26 I say to you, moreover, that to everyone who has, it will be given, and he will abound; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

27 Verumtamen inimicos meos illos, qui noluerunt me regnare super se, adducite huc et interficite ante me".

27 Nevertheless, those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me".

28 Et his dictis, praecedebat ascendens Ierosolymam.

28 And, having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29 Et factum est, cum appropinquasset ad Bethphage et Bethaniam, ad montem qui vocatur Oliveti, misit duos discipulos suos,

29 And it came to pass, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

30 dicens: "Ite in castellum quod contra est, in quod introeuntes, invenietis pullum asinae alligatum, cui nemo umquam hominum sedit; solvite illum, et adducite.

30 saying: "Go into the village that is opposite, and upon entering it, you will find a colt of a donkey tied, on which no human has ever sat; untie it, and bring it.

31 Et si quis vos interrogaverit: 'Quare solvitis?' sic dicetis ei: 'Quia Dominus operam eius desiderat'."

31 And if anyone asks you: 'Why are you untying it?' thus you shall say to him: 'Because the Lord desires its service'.

32 Abierunt autem qui missi erant, et invenerunt, sicut dixit illis, stantem pullum.

32 And those who had been sent went away, and found, just as he had told them, the colt standing.

33 Solventibus autem illis pullum, dixerunt domini eius ad illos: "Quid solvitis pullum?"

33 And as they were untying the colt, its masters said to them: "Why are you untying the colt?"

34 At illi dixerunt: "Quia Dominus eum necessarium habet".

34 But they said: "Because the Lord has need of it."

35 Et duxerunt illum ad Iesum. Et iacentes vestimenta sua supra pullum, imposuerunt Iesum.

35 And they brought it to Jesus. And, laying their garments upon the colt, they set Jesus on it.

36 Eunte autem illo, substernebant vestimenta sua in via.

36 And as he was going, they were strewing their garments in the way.

37 Et cum appropinquaret iam ad descensum montis Oliveti, coeperunt omnes turbae discipulorum gaudentes laudare Deum voce magna super omnibus, quas viderant, virtutibus,

37 And as he was now approaching the descent of the Mount of Olives, all the crowds of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

38 dicentes: "Benedictus, qui venit rex in nomine Domini! Pax in caelo, et gloria in excelsis".

38 saying: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest".

39 Et quidam pharisaeorum de turbis dixerunt ad illum: "Magister, increpa discipulos tuos".

39 And certain of the Pharisees from the crowds said to him: "Master, rebuke your disciples".

40 Quibus ipse ait: "Dico vobis, quia si hi tacuerint, lapides clamabunt".

40 To whom he himself said: "I tell you, that if these keep silent, the stones will cry out".

41 Et ut appropinquavit, videns civitatem flevit super illam, dicens:

41 And as he approached, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:

42 "Si cognovisses et tu, et quidem in hac die tua, quae ad pacem tibi! Nunc autem abscondita sunt ab oculis tuis.

42 "If even you had known, and indeed on this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 Quia venient dies in te, et circumdabunt te inimici tui vallo, et circumdabunt te et coangustabunt te undique

43 For days will come upon you, and your enemies will surround you with a rampart, and will encircle you and hem you in on every side

44 et ad terram prosternent te, et filios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relinquent in te lapidem super lapidem, eo quod non cognoveris tempus visitationis tuae.

44 and they will cast you down to the ground, and your children who are within you, and they will not leave in you a stone upon a stone, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.

45 Et ingressus in templum, coepit eicere vendentes in illo et ementes,

45 And having entered into the temple, he began to cast out those selling in it and those buying,

46 dicens illis: "Scriptum est: Quia domus mea domus orationis est. Vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum".

46 saying to them: "It is written: My house is a house of prayer. But you, however, have made it a den of robbers".

47 Et erat docens quotidie in templo. Principes autem sacerdotum, et scribae, et princeps plebis quaerebant illum perdere

47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the leader of the people were seeking to destroy him

48 et non inveniebant quid facerent illi. Omnis enim populus suspensus erat, audiens illum.

48 and they did not find what they might do to him. For all the people was suspended, listening to him.

[20]

1 Et factum est in una dierum, docente illo populum in templo, et evangelizante, convenerunt principes sacerdotum, et scribae cum senioribus,

1 And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and evangelizing, there gathered together the chief priests and the scribes with the elders,

2 et aiunt dicentes ad illum: "Dic nobis in qua potestate haec facis aut quis est qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem?"

2 and they say, saying to him: "Tell us, by what authority you do these things, or who is it who gave you this authority?"

3 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit ad illos: "Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum. Respondete mihi:

3 But Jesus, answering, said to them: "I also will ask you one question. Answer me:

4 baptismus Ioannis de caelo erat, an ex hominibus?"

4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?"

5 At illi cogitabant intra se, dicentes: "Si dixerimus: 'De caelo,' dicet: 'Quare ergo non credidistis illi?'

5 But they were thinking within themselves, saying: "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'"

6 Si autem dixerimus: 'Ex hominibus,' plebs universa lapidabit nos: certi sunt enim Ioannem prophetam esse".

6 But if we say: 'From men,' the entire populace will stone us: for they are certain that John is a prophet".

7 Et responderunt se nescire unde esset.

7 And they answered that they did not know whence it was.

8 Et Iesus ait illis: "Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec facio."

8 And Jesus said to them: "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

9 Coepit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc: "Homo plantavit vineam, et locavit eam colonis et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus.

9 He began, moreover, to say to the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to tenant-farmers, and he himself went abroad for a long time.

10 Et in tempore misit ad cultores servum, ut de fructu vineae darent illi, qui caesum dimiserunt eum inanem.

10 And at the appointed time he sent a servant to the cultivators, that they might give him from the fruit of the vineyard; but they, having beaten him, dismissed him empty-handed.

11 Et addidit alterum servum mittere. Illi autem hunc quoque caedentes, et afficientes contumelia, dimiserunt inanem.

11 And he added to send another servant. But they, beating this one also and afflicting him with contumely, sent him away empty.

12 Et addidit tertium mittere; qui et illum vulnerantes eiecerunt.

12 And he added to send a third; who also, wounding him, cast him out.

13 Dixit autem dominus vineae: 'Quid faciam? Mittam filium meum dilectum; forsitan, cum hunc viderint, verebuntur'.

13 But the lord of the vineyard said: 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him'.

14 Quem cum vidissent coloni, cogitaverunt intra se, dicentes: 'Hic est haeres, occidamus illum, ut nostra fiat haereditas'.

14 When the tenant-farmers saw him, they thought within themselves, saying: 'This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours'.

15 Et eiectum illum extra vineam, occiderunt. Quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineae?

15 And, having cast him out outside the vineyard, they killed him. What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

16 Veniet, et perdet colonos istos, et dabit vineam aliis." Quo audito, dixerunt illi: "Absit".

16 He will come, and will destroy those tenant-farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." On hearing this, they said: "Far be it".

17 Ille autem aspiciens eos, ait: "Quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli?

17 But he, looking upon them, said: "What then is this which is written: The stone which the builders rejected, this has been made the head of the corner?

18 Omnis qui ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassabitur; super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum."

18 Everyone who falls upon that stone will be shattered; but upon whom it falls, it will crush him."

19 Et quaerebant principes sacerdotum et scribae mittere in illum manus illa hora, et timuerunt populum; cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem hanc.

19 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking at that hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they recognized that he had spoken this parable with reference to them.

20 Et observantes miserunt insidiatores, qui se iustos simularent, ut caperent eum in sermone, ut traderent illum principatui, et potestati praesidis.

20 And, watching, they sent spies, who feigned themselves to be just, in order to catch him in speech, so as to deliver him to the principate and authority of the governor.

21 Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: "Magister, scimus quia recte dicis et doces et non accipis personam, sed viam Dei in veritate doces.

21 And they questioned him, saying: "Master, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and you do not accept a person, but you teach the way of God in truth.

22 Licet nobis tributum dare Caesari, an non?"

22 "Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"

23 Considerans autem dolum illorum, dixit ad eos: "Quid me tentatis?

23 But considering their deceit, he said to them: "Why do you tempt me?"

24 ostendite mihi denarium. Cuius habet imaginem et inscriptionem?" Respondentes dixerunt ei: "Caesaris".

24 "Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it bear?" Answering, they said to him: "Caesar's."

25 Et ait illis: "Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari, et quae sunt Dei, Deo".

25 And he said to them: "Render therefore the things that are Caesar's to Caesar, and the things that are God's to God".

26 Et non potuerunt verbum eius reprehendere coram plebe et mirati in responso eius, tacuerunt.

26 And they were not able to find fault with his word before the crowd, and, marveling at his answer, they fell silent.

27 Accesserunt autem quidam sadducaeorum, qui negant esse resurrectionem, et interrogaverunt eum,

27 However, some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned him,

28 dicentes: "Magister, Moyses scripsit nobis: Si frater alicuius mortuus fuerit habens uxorem, et hic sine liberis fuerit, ut accipiat eam frater eius uxorem, et suscitet semen fratri suo.

28 saying: "Master, Moses wrote for us: If the brother of someone should die, having a wife, and this man should be without children, let his brother take her as wife and raise up seed for his brother.

29 Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est sine filiis.

29 Therefore there were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

30 Et sequens accepit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine filio.

30 And the next took her, and he himself died without a son.

31 Et tertius accepit illam. Similiter et omnes septem, et non reliquerunt semen, et mortui sunt.

31 And the third took her. Likewise also all seven, and they did not leave seed, and they died.

32 Novissime omnium mortua est et mulier.

32 Lastly of all the woman also died.

33 In resurrectione ergo, cuius eorum erit uxor? Siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem".

33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of them will she be? Since indeed seven had her as wife".

34 Et ait illis Iesus: "Filii huius saeculi nubunt, et traduntur ad nuptias;

34 And Jesus said to them: "The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage;"

35 illi vero qui digni habebuntur saeculo illo, et resurrectione ex mortuis, neque nubent, neque ducent uxores.

35 but those who will be deemed worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, neither will marry, nor will they take wives.

36 Neque enim ultra mori potuerunt, aequales enim angelis sunt, et filii sunt Dei, cum sint filii resurrectionis.

36 For neither could they die any longer, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.

37 Quia vero resurgant mortui, et Moyses ostendit secus rubum, sicut dicit 'Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Iacob'.

37 But that the dead rise again, even Moses showed beside the bush, as he says, 'the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'.

38 Deus autem non est mortuorum, sed vivorum: omnes enim vivunt ei."

38 But God is not of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him."

39 Respondentes autem quidam scribarum, dixerunt ei: "Magister, bene dixisti".

39 But certain of the scribes answering said to him: "Master, you have spoken well".

40 Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.

40 And they no longer dared to question him further.

41 Dixit autem ad illos: "Quomodo dicunt Christum filium esse David?

41 But he said to them: "How do they say Christ to be the son of David?

42 Et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum: 'Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis,

42 And David himself says in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right hand,

43 donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum'.

43 until I put your enemies as a footstool for your feet'.

44 David ergo Dominum illum vocat; et quomodo filius eius est?"

44 Therefore David calls him Lord; and how is he his son?"

45 Audiente autem omni populo, dixit discipulis suis:

45 But while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples:

46 "Attendite a scribis, qui volunt ambulare in stolis, et amant salutationes in foro, et primas cathedras in synagogis, et primos discubitus in conviviis,

46 "Beware of the scribes, who want to walk about in stoles, and love greetings in the forum, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places of reclining at banquets,

47 qui devorant domos viduarum, simulantes longam orationem. Hi accipient damnationem maiorem."

47 who devour the houses of widows, simulating a long prayer. These will receive the greater damnation."

[21]

1 Respiciens autem, vidit eos, qui mittebant munera sua in gazophylacium, divites.

1 But looking up, he saw those who were casting their gifts into the treasury, the rich.

2 Vidit autem et quamdam viduam pauperculam mittentem aera minuta duo.

2 And he also saw a certain very poor widow putting in two minute bronze coins.

3 Et dixit: "Vere dico vobis, quia vidua haec pauper plus quam omnes misit.

3 And he said: "Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all.

4 Nam omnes hi ex abundanti sibi miserunt in munera Dei; haec autem ex eo quod deest illi, omnem victum suum quem habuit, misit".

4 For all these have put in to the offerings of God out of their abundance; but she, out of what is lacking to her, has put in all her sustenance which she had".

5 Et quibusdam dicentibus de templo quod bonis lapidibus et donis ornatum esset, dixit:

5 And as certain people were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with good stones and donations, he said:

6 "Haec quae videtis, venient dies in quibus non relinquetur lapis super lapidem, qui non destruatur".

6 "These things which you see, days will come in which not a stone will be left upon a stone that will not be destroyed."

7 Interrogaverunt autem illum, dicentes: "Praeceptor, quando haec erunt, et quod signum cum fieri incipient?"

7 But they questioned him, saying: "Teacher, when will these things be, and what sign when they are about to happen?"

8 Qui dixit: "Videte ne seducamini. Multi enim venient in nomine meo, dicentes quia 'ego sum' et 'tempus appropinquavit'. Nolite ergo ire post eos.

8 He said: "See that you are not seduced. For many will come in my name, saying that 'I am' and 'the time has drawn near.' Therefore do not go after them.

9 Cum autem audieritis proelia et seditiones, nolite terreri; oportet primum haec fieri, sed nondum statim finis".

9 But when you hear of battles and seditions, do not be terrified; it is necessary that these things happen first, but not yet immediately the end".

10 Tunc dicebat illis: "Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum adversus regnum.

10 Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11 Et terraemotus magni erunt per loca, et pestilentiae, et fames, terroresque de caelo, et signa magna erunt.

11 And great earthquakes will be in places, and pestilences and famines, and terrors from heaven, and great signs will be.

12 Sed ante haec omnia inicient vobis manus suas, et persequentur tradentes in synagogas et custodias, trahentes ad reges et praesides propter nomen meum;

12 But before all these things they will lay their hands upon you, and they will persecute you, handing you over to synagogues and prisons, dragging you to kings and governors because of my name;

13 continget autem vobis in testimonium.

13 but it will turn out for you as testimony.

14 Ponite ergo in cordibus vestris non praemeditari quemadmodum respondeatis;

14 Therefore set in your hearts not to premeditate how you will respond;

15 ego enim dabo vobis os et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere et contradicere omnes adversarii vestri.

15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or contradict.

16 Trademini autem a parentibus, et fratribus, et cognatis, et amicis, et morte afficient ex vobis,

16 But you will be handed over by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and they will put to death some of you,

17 et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum.

17 and you will be hated by all on account of my name.

18 Et capillus de capite vestro non peribit.

18 And not a hair of your head will perish.

19 In patientia vestra possidebitis animas vestras.

19 In your patience you will possess your souls.

20 Cum autem videritis circumdari ab exercitu Ierusalem, tunc scitote quia appropinquavit desolatio eius.

20 But when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by an army, then know that its desolation has drawn near.

21 Tunc, qui in Iudaea sunt, fugiant ad montes, et qui in medio eius, discedant; et qui in regionibus, non intrent in eam.

21 Then, those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains, and those who are in its midst, let them depart; and those who are in the regions, let them not enter into it.

22 Quia dies ultionis hi sunt, ut impleantur omnia quae scripta sunt.

22 For these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 Vae autem praegnantibus et nutrientibus in illis diebus! Erit enim pressura magna super terram, et ira populo huic.

23 But woe to the pregnant and to those nursing in those days! For there will be great pressure upon the land, and ire for this people.

24 Et cadent in ore gladii, et captivi ducentur in omnes gentes, et Ierusalem calcabitur a gentibus, donec impleantur tempora nationum.

24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and as captives they will be led into all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

25 Et erunt signa in sole et luna et stellis, et in terris pressura gentium prae confusione sonitus maris, et fluctuum,

25 And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, and on the earth distress of the nations because of confusion at the sound of the sea, and of the waves,

26 arescentibus hominibus prae timore, et exspectatione, quae supervenient universo orbi, nam virtutes caelorum movebuntur.

26 men fainting for fear, and expectation of the things that are coming upon the whole world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Et tunc videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nube cum potestate magna et maiestate.

27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty.

28 His autem fieri incipientibus, respicite, et levate capita vestra, quoniam appropinquat redemptio vestra."

28 But when these things begin to happen, look, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

29 Et dixit illis similitudinem: "Videte ficulneam, et omnes arbores:

29 And he said to them a similitude: "Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:"

30 cum producunt iam ex se fructum, scitis quoniam prope est aestas.

30 when they already produce fruit from themselves, you know that summer is near.

31 Ita et vos, cum videritis haec fieri, scitote quoniam prope est regnum Dei.

31 So also you, when you see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near.

32 Amen dico vobis, quia non praeteribit generatio haec, donec omnia fiant.

32 Amen I say to you, that this generation will not pass away until all things come to pass.

33 Caelum et terra transibunt, verba autem mea non transibunt.

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

34 Attendite autem vobis, ne forte graventur corda vestra in crapula, et ebrietate, et curis huius vitae, et superveniat in vos repentina dies illa;

34 But attend to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be weighed down in crapulence, and ebriety, and the cares of this life, and that day should supervene upon you suddenly;

35 tamquam laqueus enim superveniet in omnes qui sedent super faciem omnis terrae.

35 for like a snare it will supervene upon all who sit upon the face of the whole earth.

36 Vigilate itaque, omni tempore orantes, ut digni habeamini fugere ista omnia quae futura sunt, et stare ante Filium hominis."

36 Be vigilant, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be deemed worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of Man."

37 Erat autem diebus docens in templo, noctibus vero exiens, morabatur in monte qui vocatur Oliveti.

37 Now by day he was teaching in the temple, but at night, going out, he stayed on the mount that is called Olivet.

38 Et omnis populus manicabat ad eum in templo audire eum.

38 And all the people came early to him in the temple to hear him.

[22]

1 Appropinquat autem dies festus Azymorum, qui dicitur Pascha.

1 Now the festal day of Unleavened Bread is drawing near, which is called the Pasch.

2 Et quaerebant principes sacerdotum, et scribae, quomodo Iesum interficerent; timebant vero plebem.

2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Jesus to death; but they were afraid of the populace.

3 Intravit autem Satanas in Iudam, qui cognominabatur Iscariotes, unum de duodecim;

3 But Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, one of the twelve;

4 et abiit, et locutus est cum principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, quemadmodum illum traderet eis.

4 and he went away, and spoke with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might hand him over to them.

5 Et gavisi sunt, et pacti sunt pecuniam illi dare.

5 And they rejoiced, and they agreed to give him money.

6 Et spopondit, et quaerebat opportunitatem ut traderet illum sine turbis.

6 And he pledged, and was seeking an opportunity to hand him over without the crowds.

7 Venit autem dies Azymorum, in qua necesse erat occidi pascha.

7 And there came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which it was necessary for the Passover to be sacrificed.

8 Et misit Petrum et Ioannem, dicens: "Euntes parate nobis pascha, ut manducemus."

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: "Go, prepare for us the Passover, that we may eat."

9 At illi dixerunt: "Ubi vis paremus?"

9 But they said: "Where do you want us to prepare?"

10 Et dixit ad eos: "Ecce introeuntibus vobis in civitatem occurret vobis homo quidam amphoram aquae portans; sequimini eum in domum, in quam intrat,

10 And he said to them: "Behold, as you enter into the city, there will meet you a certain man carrying an amphora of water; follow him into the house into which he enters,"

11 et dicetis patrifamilias domus: "Dicit tibi Magister: 'Ubi est diversorium, ubi pascha cum discipulis meis manducem?'

11 and you will say to the master of the house: "The Master says to you: 'Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

12 Et ipse ostendet vobis cenaculum magnum stratum, et ibi parate."

12 And he himself will show you a large furnished upper room, and there prepare."

13 Euntes autem invenerunt sicut dixit illis, et paraverunt Pascha.

13 And going, they found just as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

14 Et cum facta esset hora, discubuit, et duodecim apostoli cum eo.

14 And when the hour had come, he reclined, and the twelve apostles with him.

15 Et ait illis: "Desiderio desideravi hoc pascha manducare vobiscum, antequam patiar.

15 And he said to them: "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you, before I suffer.

16 Dico enim vobis, quia ex hoc non manducabo illud, donec impleatur in regno Dei."

16 For I say to you, that from now on I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

17 Et accepto calice gratias egit, et dixit: "Accipite, et dividite inter vos.

17 And having taken the chalice he gave thanks, and said: "Receive, and divide among yourselves."

18 Dico enim vobis quod non bibam de generatione vitis donec regnum Dei veniat."

18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

19 Et accepto pane gratias egit, et fregit, et dedit eis, dicens: "Hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis datur. Hoc facite in meam commemorationem."

19 And, having received bread, he gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying: "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in my commemoration."

20 Similiter et calicem, postquam coenavit, dicens: "Hic est calix novum testamentum in sanguine meo, qui pro vobis fundetur.

20 Likewise also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: "This chalice is the new testament in my blood, which will be poured out for you.

21 Verumtamen ecce manus tradentis me, mecum est in mensa.

21 Nevertheless, behold, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the table.

22 Et quidem Filius hominis, secundum quod definitum est, vadit; verumtamen vae homini illi per quem tradetur!"

22 And indeed the Son of Man goes, according to what has been determined; nevertheless, woe to that man by whom he will be betrayed!"

23 Et ipsi coeperunt quaerere inter se quis esset ex eis qui hoc facturus esset.

23 And they themselves began to inquire among themselves which of them it might be who was about to do this.

24 Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse maior.

24 And there also arose a contention among them, which of them seemed to be greater.

25 Dixit autem eis: "Reges gentium dominantur eorum et, qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur.

25 But he said to them: "The kings of the Gentiles dominate them, and those who have power over them are called benefactors.

26 Vos autem non sic, sed qui maior est in vobis, fiat sicut minor, et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator.

26 But you, not so; instead, let the one who is greater among you become as the lesser, and the one who goes before, as the minister.

27 Nam quis maior est: qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? Nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat.

27 For who is greater: the one who reclines, or the one who ministers? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am in the midst of you as the one who ministers.

28 Vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis.

28 But you are the ones who have remained with me in my trials.

29 Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum,

29 And I appoint to you, just as my Father appointed to me, a kingdom,

30 ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos iudicantes duodecim tribus Israel."

30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

31 Ait autem Dominus: "Simon, Simon, ecce Satanas expetivit vos ut cribraret sicut triticum;

31 And the Lord said: "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat;

32 ego autem rogavi pro te, ut non deficiat fides tua. Et tu aliquando conversus, confirma fratres tuos."

32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, once turned back, strengthen your brothers."

33 Qui dixit ei: "Domine, tecum paratus sum et in carcerem et in mortem ire."

33 Who said to him: "Lord, with you I am prepared to go both into prison and into death."

34 At ille dixit: "Dico tibi, Petre, non cantabit hodie gallus, donec ter abneges nosse me."

34 But he said: "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know me."

Et dixit eis:

And he said to them:

35 "Quando misi vos sine sacculo, et pera, et calceamentis, numquid aliquid defuit vobis?"

35 "When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did anything fail you?"

36 At illi dixerunt: "Nihil." Dixit ergo eis: "Sed nunc qui habet sacculum, tollat, similiter et peram; et qui non habet, vendat tunicam suam et emat gladium.

36 But they said: "Nothing." He therefore said to them: "But now, let him who has a purse take it, likewise also a bag; and he who does not have, let him sell his tunic and buy a sword."

37 Dico enim vobis, quoniam adhuc hoc quod scriptum est, oportet impleri in me: 'Et cum iniquis deputatus est.' Etenim ea quae sunt de me finem habent."

37 For I say to you, that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: 'And he was reckoned with the iniquitous.' For indeed the things which are about me have an end."

38 At illi dixerunt: "Domine, ecce duo gladii hic."" At ille dixit eis: "Satis est."

38 But they said: "Lord, behold, two swords are here."" And he said to them: "It is enough."

39 Et egressus ibat secundum consuetudinem in monte Olivarum. Secuti sunt autem illum et discipuli.

39 And, going out, he went according to custom to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples followed him.

40 Et cum pervenisset ad locum, dixit illis: "Orate ne intretis in tentationem."

40 And when he had come to the place, he said to them: "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

41 Et ipse avulsus est ab eis quantum iactus est lapidis, et positis genibus, orabat,

41 And he himself withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and, having set his knees, he was praying,

42 dicens: "Pater, si vis, transfer calicem istum a me; verumtamen non mea voluntas, sed tua fiat."

42 saying: "Father, if you are willing, transfer this chalice away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done."

43 Apparuit autem illi angelus de caelo, confortans eum. Et factus in agonia, prolixius orabat.

43 However, an angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly.

44 Et factus est sudor eius sicut guttae sanguinis decurrentis in terram.

44 And his sweat became like drops of blood running down to the ground.

45 Et cum surrexisset ab oratione et venisset ad discipulos suos, invenit eos dormientes prae tristitia.

45 And when he had risen from prayer and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow.

46 Et ait illis: "Quid dormitis? Surgite, orate, ne intretis in tentationem."

46 And he said to them: "Why are you sleeping? Rise, pray, lest you enter into temptation."

47 Adhuc eo loquente, ecce turba, et qui vocabatur Iudas, unus de duodecim, antecedebat eos, et appropinquavit Iesu ut oscularetur eum.

47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd, and the one who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was going before them, and he approached Jesus to kiss him.

48 Iesus autem dixit illi: "Iuda, osculo Filium hominis tradis?"

48 But Jesus said to him: "Judas, with a kiss are you betraying the Son of Man?"

49 Videntes autem hi qui circa ipsum erant, quod futurum erat, dixerunt ei: "Domine, si percutimus in gladio?"

49 But seeing what was about to happen, those who were around him said to him: "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

50 Et percussit unus ex illis servum principis sacerdotum, et amputavit auriculam eius dexteram.

50 And one of them struck the servant of the chief of the priests, and amputated his right ear.

51 Respondens autem Iesus, ait: "Sinite usque huc." Et cum tetigisset auriculam eius, sanavit eum.

51 But answering, Jesus said: "Allow even this." And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52 Dixit autem Iesus ad eos qui venerant ad se principes sacerdotum, et magistratus templi, et seniores: "Quasi ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus?

52 But Jesus said to those who had come to him, the chief priests and the magistrates of the temple, and the elders: "As against a robber have you come out with swords and clubs?

53 Cum quotidie vobiscum fuerim in templo, non extendistis manus in me; sed haec est hora vestra, et potestas tenebrarum."

53 When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not extend your hands against me; but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

54 Comprehendentes autem eum, duxerunt ad domum principis sacerdotum. Petrus vero sequebatur a longe.

54 But apprehending him, they led him to the house of the high priest. But Peter indeed was following from afar.

55 Accenso autem igne in medio atrii et circumsedentibus illis, erat Petrus in medio eorum.

55 But when a fire had been kindled in the middle of the atrium and, as they sat around, Peter was in their midst.

56 Quem cum vidisset ancilla quaedam sedentem ad lumen, et eum fuisset intuita, dixit: "Et hic cum illo erat."

56 When a certain maidservant saw him sitting by the light, and had gazed at him, she said: "And this man was with him."

57 At ille negavit eum, dicens: "Mulier, non novi illum."

57 But he denied him, saying: "Woman, I do not know him."

58 Et post pusillum alius videns eum, dixit: "Et tu de illis es." Petrus vero ait: "O homo, non sum."

58 And after a little another, seeing him, said: "You also are of them." But Peter said: "O man, I am not."

59 Et intervallo facto quasi horae unius, alius quidam affirmabat, dicens: "Vere et hic cum illo erat, nam et Galilaeus est."

59 And an interval having passed of about one hour, a certain other was affirming, saying: "Truly this man also was with him, for he also is a Galilean."

60 Et ait Petrus: "Homo, nescio quid dicis." Et continuo, adhuc illo loquente, cantavit gallus.

60 And Peter said: "Man, I do not know what you are saying." And immediately, while he was still speaking, the cock crowed.

61 Et conversus Dominus respexit Petrum, et recordatus est Petrus verbi Domini, sicut dixerat: "Quia priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis."

61 And the Lord, turning, looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, just as he had said: "For before the rooster crows, you will deny me thrice."

62 Et egressus foras Petrus flevit amare.

62 And Peter went outside and wept bitterly.

63 Et viri, qui tenebant illum, illudebant ei, caedentes.

63 And the men who were holding him were mocking him, beating him.

64 Et velaverunt eum, et percutiebant faciem eius et interrogabant eum, dicentes: "Prophetiza, quis est, qui te percussit?"

64 And they veiled him, and were striking his face and were questioning him, saying: "Prophesy, who is it who struck you?"

65 Et alia multa blasphemantes dicebant in eum.

65 And many other things, blaspheming, they were saying against him.

66 Et ut factus est dies, convenerunt seniores plebis, et principes sacerdotum, et scribae, et duxerunt illum in concilium suum, dicentes: "Si tu es Christus, dic nobis."

66 And when day came, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes gathered together, and they led him into their council, saying: "If you are the Christ, tell us."

67 Et ait illis: "Si vobis dixero, non credetis mihi;

67 And he said to them: "If I tell you, you will not believe me;

68 si autem et interrogavero, non respondebitis mihi, neque dimittetis.

68 But if I also question, you will not answer me, nor will you release me.

69 Ex hoc autem erit Filius hominis sedens a dextris virtutis Dei."

69 But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God."

70 Dixerunt autem omnes: "Tu ergo es Filius Dei?" Qui ait: "Vos dicitis quia ego sum."

70 But all said: "Therefore are you the Son of God?" Who said: "You say that I am."

71 At illi dixerunt: "Quid adhuc desideramus testimonium? Ipsi enim audivimus de ore eius."

71 But they said: "What testimony do we still desire? For we ourselves have heard from his mouth."

[23]

1 Et surgens omnis multitudo eorum, duxerunt illum ad Pilatum.

1 And rising, the whole multitude of them led him to Pilate.

2 Coeperunt autem illum accusare, dicentes: "Hunc invenimus subvertentem gentem nostram, et prohibentem tributa dare Caesari, et dicentem se Christum regem esse".

2 But they began to accuse him, saying: "We found this man subverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king".

3 Pilatus autem interrogavit eum, dicens: "Tu es rex Iudaeorum?" At ille respondens ait: "Tu dicis."

3 But Pilate questioned him, saying: "Are you the king of the Jews?" But he, answering, said: "You say so."

4 Ait autem Pilatus ad principes sacerdotum et turbas: "Nihil invenio causae in hoc homine."

4 But Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds: "I find no cause in this man."

5 At illi invalescebant, dicentes: "Commovet populum docens per universam Iudaeam, incipiens a Galilaea usque huc."

5 But they were growing stronger, saying: "He agitates the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee even to here."

6 Pilatus autem audiens Galilaeam, interrogavit si homo Galilaeus esset.

6 But Pilate, hearing “Galilee,” asked whether the man was a Galilean.

7 Et ut cognovit quod de Herodis potestate esset, remisit eum ad Herodem, qui et ipse Ierosolymis erat illis diebus.

7 And when he recognized that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he remitted him to Herod, who also himself was in Jerusalem in those days.

8 Herodes autem viso Iesu, gavisus est valde. Erat enim cupiens ex multo tempore videre eum, eo quod audierat multa de eo, et sperabat signum aliquod videre ab eo fieri.

8 But Herod, on seeing Jesus, rejoiced exceedingly. For he had been desiring for a long time to see him, because he had heard many things about him, and he was hoping to see some sign effected by him.

9 Interrogabat autem eum multis sermonibus. At ipse nihil illi respondebat.

9 And he was questioning him with many words. But he himself answered nothing to him.

10 Stabant autem principes sacerdotum et scribae constanter accusantes eum.

10 But the chief priests and the scribes stood, constantly accusing him.

11 Sprevit autem illum Herodes cum exercitu suo et illusit indutum veste alba, et remisit ad Pilatum.

11 But Herod, with his army, despised him and, having clothed him in a white robe, mocked him, and sent him back to Pilate.

12 Et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die, nam antea inimici erant ad invicem.

12 And Herod and Pilate became friends on that very day, for previously they had been enemies toward one another.

13 Pilatus autem, convocatis principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, et plebe,

13 But Pilate, having called together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,

14 dixit ad illos: "Obtulistis mihi hunc hominem, quasi avertentem populum, et ecce ego coram vobis interrogans, nullam causam inveni in homine isto ex his in quibus eum accusatis.

14 he said to them: "You have presented to me this man, as one turning the people aside, and behold, I, interrogating before you, have found no cause in this man with respect to the matters in which you accuse him.

15 Sed neque Herodes, nam remisi vos ad illum, et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei.

15 But neither did Herod, for I sent you to him, and behold nothing worthy of death has been done to him.

16 Emendatum ergo illum dimittam."

16 Therefore, having corrected him, I will release him."

17 Necesse autem habebat dimittere eis per diem festum unum.

17 Now, however, he was obliged to release to them one at the festival.

18 Exclamavit autem simul universa turba, dicens: "Tolle hunc, et dimitte nobis Barabbam,"

18 But the whole crowd exclaimed together, saying: "Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,"

19 qui erat propter seditionem quamdam factam in civitate et homicidium missus in carcerem.

19 who had been sent into prison on account of a certain sedition made in the city and homicide.

20 Iterum autem Pilatus locutus est ad eos, volens dimittere Iesum.

20 But again Pilate spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.

21 At illi succlamabant, dicentes: "Crucifige, crucifige eum."

21 But they kept shouting, saying: "Crucify, crucify him."

22 Ille autem tertio dixit ad illos: "Quid enim mali fecit iste? Nullam causam mortis invenio in eo; corripiam ergo illum et dimittam."

22 But he, for the third time, said to them: "For what evil has this man done? I find no cause of death in him; therefore I will chastise him and dismiss him."

23 At illi instabant vocibus magnis postulantes ut crucifigeretur, et invalescebant voces eorum.

23 But they were insisting with loud voices, demanding that he be crucified, and their voices were prevailing.

24 Et Pilatus adiudicavit fieri petitionem eorum.

24 And Pilate adjudicated that their petition should be done.

25 Dimisit autem illis eum qui propter homicidium et seditionem missus fuerat in carcerem, quem petebant, Iesum vero tradidit voluntati eorum.

25 But he released to them the one who because of homicide and sedition had been sent into prison, whom they were requesting, but Jesus he handed over to their will.

26 Et cum ducerent eum, apprehenderunt Simonem quemdam Cyrenensem venientem de villa et imposuerunt illi crucem portare post Iesum.

26 And as they were leading him, they apprehended a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the countryside, and they imposed upon him the cross to carry after Jesus.

27 Sequebatur autem illum multa turba populi et mulierum, quae plangebant et lamentabantur eum.

27 And there was following him a great multitude of the people and of women, who were beating their breasts and lamenting him.

28 Conversus autem ad illas Iesus, dixit: "Filiae Ierusalem, nolite flere super me, sed super vos ipsas flete et super filios vestros.

28 But Jesus, turning to them, said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children."

29 Quoniam ecce venient dies in quibus dicent: 'Beatae steriles, et ventres qui non genuerunt, et ubera quae non lactaverunt.'

29 For behold, days will come in which they will say: 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not lactate.'

30 Tunc incipient dicere montibus: 'Cadite super nos; et collibus, Operite nos.

30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains: 'Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 Quia si in viridi ligno haec faciunt, in arido quid fiet?"

31 For if they do these things in the green wood, what will happen in the dry?"

32 Ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo, ut interficerentur.

32 And also two other wicked men were being led with him, so that they might be put to death.

33 Et postquam venerunt in locum qui vocatur Calvariae, ibi crucifixerunt eum et latrones, unum a dextris, et alterum a sinistris.

33 And after they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the robbers, one on the right, and the other on the left.

34 Iesus autem dicebat: "Pater, dimitte illis, non enim sciunt quid faciunt." Dividentes vero vestimenta eius, miserunt sortes.

34 But Jesus was saying: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And dividing his garments, they cast lots.

35 Et stabat populus spectans, et deridebant eum principes cum eis, dicentes: "Alios salvos fecit, se salvum faciat, si hic est Christus Dei electus."

35 And the people stood by watching, and the rulers with them were deriding him, saying: "He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the Elect."

36 Illudebant autem ei et milites accedentes, et acetum offerentes ei,

36 The soldiers also were mocking him, coming up and offering him vinegar,

37 et dicentes: "Si tu es rex Iudaeorum, salvum te fac."

37 and saying: "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."

38 Erat autem et superscriptio scripta super eum litteris graecis, et latinis, et hebraicis: "Hic est rex Iudaeorum."

38 And there was also an inscription written above him in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew letters: "This is the King of the Jews."

39 Unus autem de his, qui pendebant, latronibus, blasphemabat eum, dicens: "Si tu es Christus, salvum fac temetipsum et nos."

39 But one of the robbers who were hanging blasphemed him, saying: "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us."

40 Respondens autem alter increpabat eum, dicens: "Neque tu times Deum, quod in eadem damnatione es.

40 But the other, answering, was rebuking him, saying: "Do you not even fear God, since you are in the same condemnation.

41 Et nos quidem iuste, nam digna factis recipimus, hic vero nihil mali gessit."

41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving things worthy of our deeds; but this man has done nothing evil."

42 Et dicebat ad Iesum: "Domine, memento mei cum veneris in regnum tuum."

42 And he was saying to Jesus: "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

43 Et dixit illi Iesus: Amen dico tibi: "Hodie mecum eris in paradiso."

43 And Jesus said to him: Amen, I say to you: "Today you will be with me in paradise."

44 Erat autem fere hora sexta, et tenebrae factae sunt in universam terram usque ad horam nonam.

44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came to be over the whole land until the ninth hour.

45 Et obscuratus est sol, et velum templi scissum est medium.

45 And the sun was obscured, and the veil of the temple was split in the middle.

46 Et clamans voce magna Iesus ait: "Pater, in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum." Et haec dicens, expiravit.

46 And, crying with a great voice, Jesus said: "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." And saying these things, he expired.

47 Videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat, glorificavit Deum, dicens: "Vere hic homo iustus erat."

47 But the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying: "Truly this man was just."

48 Et omnis turba eorum, qui simul aderant ad spectaculum istud, et videbant, quae fiebant, percutientes pectora sua revertebantur.

48 And all the crowd of those who were together present at that spectacle, and were seeing the things that were happening, returned beating their breasts.

49 Stabant autem omnes noti eius a longe, et mulieres, quae secutae eum erant a Galilaea, haec videntes.

49 But all his acquaintances were standing at a distance, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, seeing these things.

50 Et ecce vir nomine Ioseph, qui erat decurio, vir bonus et iustus

50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a decurion (councilor), a good and just man

51 – hic non consenserat consilio, et actibus eorum – ab Arimathaea civitate Iudaeae, qui exspectabat et ipse regnum Dei;

51 – this man had not consented to their counsel and actions – from Arimathea, a city of Judea, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God;

52 hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Iesu

52 this man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus

53 et depositum involvit sindone, et posuit eum in monumento exciso, in quo nondum quisquam positus fuerat.

53 and, taking him down, he wrapped him in a linen shroud, and placed him in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had yet been placed.

54 Et dies erat Parasceves, et sabbatum illucescebat.

54 And it was the day of Parasceve, and the sabbath was drawing on.

55 Subsecutae autem mulieres, quae cum eo venerant de Galilaea, viderunt monumentum, et quemadmodum positum erat corpus eius.

55 But the women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb, and how his body had been laid.

56 Et revertentes paraverunt aromata, et unguenta: et sabbato quidem siluerunt secundum mandatum.

56 And returning, they prepared aromatics and unguents: and on the sabbath indeed they kept quiet according to the mandate.

[24]

1 Una autem sabbati valde diluculo venerunt ad monumentum, portantes quae paraverant aromata.

1 But on the first day of the week, very early at dawn, they came to the sepulcher, bearing the aromatics which they had prepared.

2 Et invenerunt lapidem revolutum a monumento.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

3 Et ingressae non invenerunt corpus Domini Iesu.

3 And having entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 Et factum est, dum mente consternatae essent de isto, ecce duo viri steterunt secus illas in veste fulgenti.

4 And it came to pass, while they were consternated in mind about this, behold, two men stood beside them in gleaming vesture.

5 Cum timerent autem, et declinarent vultum in terram, dixerunt ad illas: "Quid quaeritis viventem cum mortuis?

5 But as they were afraid, and inclined their face to the ground, they said to them: "Why do you seek the living one with the dead?

6 Non est hic, sed surrexit. Recordamini qualiter locutus est vobis, cum adhuc in Galilaea esset,

6 He is not here, but he has risen. Remember how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,

7 dicens: 'Oportet Filium hominis tradi in manus hominum peccatorum, et crucifigi, et die tertia resurgere.'

7 saying: 'It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and on the third day to rise again.'

8 Et recordatae sunt verborum eius.

8 And they remembered his words.

9 Et regressae a monumento nuntiaverunt haec omnia illis undecim, et ceteris omnibus.

9 And, having returned from the tomb, they announced all these things to the eleven, and to all the others.

10 Erat autem Maria Magdalene, et Ioanna, et Maria Iacobi, et ceterae quae cum eis erant, quae dicebant ad apostolos haec.

10 Now Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the others who were with them, who were saying these things to the apostles.

11 Et visa sunt ante illos sicut deliramentum verba ista, et non crediderunt illis.

11 And these words seemed to them like delirium, and they did not believe them.

12 Petrus autem surgens cucurrit ad monumentum et procumbens vidit linteamina sola posita, et abiit secum mirans quod factum fuerat.

12 But Peter, rising, ran to the tomb, and stooping down he saw the linens laid by themselves, and he went away by himself, marveling at what had happened.

13 Et ecce duo ex illis ibant ipsa die in castellum, quod erat in spatio stadiorum sexaginta ab Ierusalem, nomine Emmaus.

13 And behold, two of them were going on that very day to a village, which was at a distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.

14 Et ipsi loquebantur ad invicem de his omnibus quae acciderant.

14 And they themselves were conversing with one another about all these things which had occurred.

15 Et factum est, dum fabularentur, et secum quaererent, et ipse Iesus appropinquans ibat cum illis;

15 And it came to pass, while they were conversing and inquiring with themselves, that Jesus himself, approaching, was going with them;

16 oculi autem illorum tenebantur ne eum agnoscerent.

16 their eyes, however, were held so that they might not recognize him.

17 Et ait ad illos: "Qui sunt hi sermones, quos confertis ad invicem ambulantes, et estis tristes?"

17 And he said to them: "What are these words that you are conferring with one another as you walk, and you are sad?"

18 Et respondens unus, cui nomen Cleophas, dixit ei: "Tu solus peregrinus es in Ierusalem, et non cognovisti quae facta sunt in illa his diebus?"

18 And one answering, whose name was Cleophas, said to him: "Are you alone a peregrine in Jerusalem, and have you not recognized the things that have been done in it in these days?"

19 Quibus ille dixit: "Quae?" Et dixerunt: "De Iesu Nazareno, qui fuit vir propheta, potens in opere et sermone coram Deo et omni populo,

19 To whom he said: "What things?" And they said: "Concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a man, a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people,

20 et quomodo eum tradiderunt summi sacerdotes et principes nostri in damnationem mortis, et crucifixerunt eum.

20 and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to the condemnation of death, and crucified him.

21 Nos autem sperabamus quia ipse esset redempturus Israel; et nunc super haec omnia, tertia dies est hodie quod haec facta sunt.

21 But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and now, over and above all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

22 Sed et mulieres quaedam ex nostris terruerunt nos, quae ante lucem fuerunt ad monumentum,

22 But also certain women of ours astonished us, who before dawn had been at the tomb,

23 et non invento corpore eius, venerunt, dicentes se etiam visionem angelorum vidisse, qui dicunt eum vivere.

23 and, his body not having been found, they came, saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.

24 Et abierunt quidam ex nostris ad monumentum et ita invenerunt sicut mulieres dixerunt, ipsum vero non invenerunt.

24 And some of ours went away to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not find.

25 Et ipse dixit ad eos: "O stulti, et tardi corde ad credendum in omnibus quae locuti sunt prophetae!

25 And he said to them: "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!"

26 Nonne haec oportuit pati Christum, et ita intrare in gloriam suam?

26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?

27 Et incipiens a Moyse, et omnibus prophetis, interpretabatur illis in omnibus scripturis quae de ipso erant."

27 And, beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he was interpreting to them in all the scriptures the things that were about himself."

28 Et appropinquaverunt castello quo ibant, et ipse se finxit longius ire.

28 And they approached the village to which they were going, and he himself feigned to go farther.

29 Et coegerunt illum, dicentes: "Mane nobiscum, quoniam advesperascit, et inclinata est iam dies." Et intravit cum illis.

29 And they constrained him, saying: "Remain with us, because it is toward evening, and the day is already inclined." And he went in with them.

30 Et factum est, dum recumberet cum eis, accepit panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, et porrigebat illis.

30 And it came to pass, while he was reclining with them, he took bread, and blessed, and broke, and was handing it to them.

31 Et aperti sunt oculi eorum, et cognoverunt eum; et ipse evanuit ex oculis eorum.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 Et dixerunt ad invicem: "Nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis dum loqueretur in via, et aperiret nobis Scripturas?"

32 And they said to one another: "Was not our heart burning within us while he was speaking on the way, and opening to us the Scriptures?"

33 Et surgentes eadem hora regressi sunt in Ierusalem et invenerunt congregatos undecim, et eos qui cum illis erant,

33 And, rising in that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven gathered, and those who were with them,

34 dicentes: "Surrexit Dominus vere, et apparuit Simoni.

34 saying: "The Lord has risen truly, and has appeared to Simon.

35 Et ipsi narrabant quae gesta erant in via, et quomodo cognoverunt eum in fractione panis.

35 And they themselves were recounting the things that had been done on the way, and how they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

36 Dum autem haec loquuntur, stetit Iesus in medio eorum, et dicit eis: "Pax vobis; ego sum, nolite timere."

36 While, however, they are speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and says to them: "Peace to you; it is I, do not be afraid."

37 Conturbati vero et conterriti, existimabant se spiritum videre.

37 But disturbed and terrified, they supposed that they were seeing a spirit.

38 Et dixit eis: "Quid turbati estis, et cogitationes ascendunt in corda vestra?

38 And he said to them: "Why are you troubled, and why do cogitations ascend into your hearts?

39 Videte manus meas, et pedes, quia ego ipse sum; palpate et videte, quia spiritus carnem et ossa non habet, sicut me videtis habere."

39 "See my hands and my feet, that I myself am; palpate and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see me to have."

40 Et cum hoc dixisset, ostendit eis manus et pedes.

40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 Adhuc autem illis non credentibus, et mirantibus prae gaudio, dixit: "Habetis hic aliquid quod manducetur?"

41 But while they still did not believe, and were marveling for joy, he said: "Have you anything here to eat?"

42 At illi obtulerunt ei partem piscis assi et favum mellis.

42 But they offered to him a portion of broiled fish and a honeycomb.

43 Et cum manducasset coram eis, sumens reliquias dedit eis.

43 And when he had eaten before them, taking the leftovers he gave them to them.

44 Et dixit ad eos: "Haec sunt verba quae locutus sum ad vos cum adhuc essem vobiscum, quoniam necesse est impleri omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Moysi, et prophetis, et Psalmis de me."

44 And he said to them: "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that it is necessary for all things to be fulfilled which have been written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning me."

45 Tunc aperuit illis sensum ut intelligerent Scripturas,

45 Then he opened their minds so that they might understand the Scriptures,

46 et dixit eis: "Sic scriptum est, et sic oportebat Christum pati, et resurgere a mortuis tertia die,

46 and he said to them: "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead on the third day,"

47 et praedicari in nomine eius paenitentiam, et remissionem peccatorum in omnes gentes, incipientibus ab Ierosolyma.

47 and that repentance and the remission of sins be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 Vos autem testes estis horum.

48 But you are witnesses of these things.

49 Et ego mitto promissum Patris mei in vos; vos autem sedete in civitate, quoadusque induamini virtute ex alto."

49 And I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

50 Eduxit autem eos foras in Bethaniam, et elevatis manibus suis benedixit eis.

50 But he led them out as far as Bethany, and, with his hands lifted up, he blessed them.

51 Et factum est, dum benediceret illis, recessit ab eis, et ferebatur in caelum.

51 And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and was being carried into heaven.

52 Et ipsi adorantes regressi sunt in Ierusalem cum gaudio magno

52 And they, worshiping, returned to Jerusalem with great joy

53 et erant semper in templo, laudantes et benedicentes Deum. Amen.

53 and they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
