and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,
for she said within herself, ‘If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.’
And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, ‘Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,’ and the woman was saved from that hour.
And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, ‘Deal kindly with us, Son of David.’
And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, ‘Believe ye that I am able to do this?’ They say to him, ‘Yes, sir.’
Then touched he their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith let it be to you,’
and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, ‘See, let no one know;’
Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem — scribes and Pharisees — saying,
‘Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.’
And he answering said to them, ‘Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;
but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; —
and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
‘Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings — commands of men.’
And having called near the multitude, he said to them, ‘Hear and understand:
not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.’
Then his disciples having come near, said to him, ‘Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?’
And he answering said, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;
let them alone, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.’
And Peter answering said to him, ‘Explain to us this simile.’
And Jesus said, ‘Are ye also yet without understanding?
do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?
but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;
for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.’
And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, ‘Deal kindly with me, Sir — Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.’
And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying — ‘Let her away, because she crieth after us;’
and he answering said, ‘I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’
And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, ‘Sir, help me;’
and he answering said, ‘It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.’
And she said, ‘Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;’
then answering, Jesus said to her, ‘O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;’ and her daughter was healed from that hour.
And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,
and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,
so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, ‘I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.’
And his disciples say to him, ‘Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?’
And Jesus saith to them, ‘How many loaves have ye?’ and they said, ‘Seven, and a few little fishes.’
And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.
And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it,
and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,
and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.
And the messenger answering said to the women, ‘Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek;
he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying;
and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.’
And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;
and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, ‘Hail!’ and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.
Then saith Jesus to them, ‘Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.’
And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,
and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers,
saying, ‘Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep;
and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.’
And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them,
and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.
And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;
having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.’
And Jesus said to him, ‘If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;’
And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
and Peter having remembered saith to him, ‘Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.’
And Jesus answering saith to them, ‘Have faith of God;
for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.
Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,
and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,
and they lifted up the voice, saying, ‘Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;’
and having seen [them], he said to them, ‘Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;’ and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,
and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,
and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, ‘Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine — where?
There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;’
and he said to him, ‘Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.’
And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
and he cried out, saying, ‘Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;’
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, ‘Son of David, deal kindly with me.’
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
saying, ‘What wilt thou I shall do to thee?’ and he said, ‘Sir, that I may receive sight.’
And Jesus said to him, ‘Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;’
and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother — who never had walked,
this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,
said with a loud voice, ‘Stand up on thy feet upright;’ and he was springing and walking,
And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
for in this were the elders testified of;
by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;
by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.
By faith Enoch was translated — not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to — that he had pleased God well,
and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.
