| 1 | And it came to pass, while He was in a certain place praying, as He had stopped, one of His students said to Him: "Prince, teach us to pray, just as Iohannes had also taught his students." |
| 2 | So He said to them "When you pray, you say: 'Father, Your Name must be sanctified. Your kingdom must come. |
| 3 | Give to us each day our daily bread. |
| 4 | And forgive us our errors, for we also forgive all those indebted to us. And do not bring us into trial'." |
| 5 | Then He said to them "Which of you has a friend and goes to him in the middle of the night and says to him 'Friend, lend to me three loaves, |
| 6 | since my friend has arrived from a journey to me, and I have nothing which I may offer him.' |
| 7 | And he inside replying says 'Do not cause me trouble! Already the door is bolted and my children are with me in the bed. I am not able rising to provide for you.' |
| 8 | I say to you, even if he does not arise to give to him on account of being his friend, then on account of his impudence arising he will give to him as much as he may need. |
| 9 | And I say to you: Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened for you. |
| 10 | For all who are asking shall receive and he who is seeking shall find and to him knocking it shall be opened. |
| 11 | Now from which father among you should a son request a fish, and instead of a fish would give to him a serpent? |
| 12 | Or then should he request an egg, would give to him a scorpion? |
| 13 | Therefore if you being base know to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him?" |
| 14 | Then He was casting out a mute demon, and it happened that upon the demon's departing the mute spoke, and the crowds wondered. |
| 15 | And one of them said "By Beelzeboul the ruler of demons He casts out the demons!" |
| 16 | Then others, making trial, had requested from Him a sign from heaven. |
| 17 | But He knowing their reasonings said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is desolate and house upon house falls. |
| 18 | And if the Adversary is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Seeing that you speak of Me casting out demons by Beelzeboul, |
| 19 | now if I by Beelzeboul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For that reason they shall be your judges. |
| 20 | But if by the finger of Yahweh I cast out demons, then the Kingdom of Yahweh has overtaken you! |
| 21 | When the strong man being equipped should guard his court, his possessions are in peace. |
| 22 | But when one stronger than him coming should conquer him, he takes from him the armor upon which he had trusted, and they distribute his spoils. |
| 23 | He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters! |
| 24 | "When the unclean spirit departs from a man, it passes through the waterless places seeking rest, and not finding it then it says 'I shall return to my house from which I had departed.' |
| 25 | And having come it finds it swept clean and ornamented. |
| 26 | Then it goes and invites seven other spirits more wicked than itself and entering in dwells there, and the end for that man becomes worse than the first!" |
| 27 | And it happened as He spoke these things, some woman raising a voice up from the crowd said to Him: "Blessed is the womb which bore You, and the breasts which You suckled!" |
| 28 | But He said "Wait! Blessed are those hearing and keeping the Word of Yahweh!" |
| 29 | Then upon the gathering of the crowd He began to speak: "This race is a wicked race! It seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Ionah. |
| 30 | For just as Ionah had been a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall be the Son of Man to this race. |
| 31 | The queen of the south shall arise in the judgment with the men of this race and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here! |
| 32 | The men of the Ninevites shall be resurrected in the judgment with this race and shall condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Ionah, and behold, a greater than Ionah is here! |
| 33 | "No one lighting a lamp sets it in a vault or under a bushel, but upon a lampstand in order that those entering in would see the light. |
| 34 | Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye should be sincere, even your whole body is light. But whenever it may be evil, then your body is darkness. |
| 35 | So watch that the light which is in your body is not darkness! |
| 36 | Therefore if your whole body is light, not having any part with darkness, the whole shall be light as when a lamp illuminates you with bright light." |
| 37 | Then while He was speaking a Pharisee asked Him whether He would have lunch with him. And entering in He reclined. |
| 38 | And the Pharisee watching wondered that He had not first washed before lunch. |
| 39 | And the Prince said to him: "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the plate, but your inside is full of rapine and wickedness. |
| 40 | Fools! Has not He who makes the outside also made the inside? |
| 41 | But to the things within you should give mercy, and behold, all to you is clean! |
| 42 | But woe to you Pharisees! Because you give a tenth of the mint and rue and every herb, and you elude the judgment and the love of Yahweh. Now these things it is necessary to do and the others not to pass by. |
| 43 | Woe to you Pharisees! Because you love the first benches in the assembly halls and the greetings in the market places. |
| 44 | Woe to you! Because you are like unmarked graves, and the men walking over them do not see them." |
| 45 | Then replying one of the lawyers said to Him "Teacher, saying these things You also insult us!" |
| 46 | So He said "And to you lawyers, woe! Because you load men with burdens hard to bear, and these burdens you touch with not one of your fingers! |
| 47 | Woe to you! Because you build the monuments of the prophets, and your fathers killed them! |
| 48 | Therefore you are witnesses and you consent to the works of your fathers, because they killed them, and you build. |
| 49 | For this reason also the wisdom of Yahweh says: 'I shall send to them prophets and ambassadors, and some of them they shall kill and they shall persecute', |
| 50 | in order that the blood of all the prophets spilled from the foundation of the Society should be required from this race, |
| 51 | from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias who was killed between the altar and the house. Yeah, I say to you, it shall be required from this race! |
| 52 | Woe to you lawyers! Because you have taken the key of knowledge, you do not enter in yourselves, and you prohibit those who are entering in!" |
| 53 | And from that time of His coming forth the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon Him cleverly and question Him provokingly concerning many things, |
| 54 | laying in wait for Him to catch something from His mouth. |
