Jesus

and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles,

(Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor--because yours is the reign of God.

`Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake--

`But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do good to those hating you,

`But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?

`And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying--`He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,

and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;'

and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'

and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'

And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
