====================================================== 46Now Mary said: "My soul magnifies the Master 47and my spirit is jubilant upon God my saviour 48as He looked upon the lowliness of His servant girl, for lo! From right now all generations will count me blissful 49as the Powerful One designed great things for me, and holy is His name, 50and His mercy to those fearing Him is for generations (and generations*). 51He designed mighty things with His arm, He scattered those haughty in their heart's thinking and 52He pulled down powerful ones from thrones and elevated lowly ones. 53He satiates with good things those hungering, and send away empty those who are rich. 54He relieved Israel His servant in remembrance of His everlasting mercy 55to Abraham and to his seed, just as He spoke to our fathers." 56So Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her house. 57Now Elizabeth's time to give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son, 58and her neighbourhood and kinsfolk heard that the Master was magnifying His mercy to her, so they rejoiced with her. 59And it came to be, on the eighth day, that they went to circumcise the infant and would call it by the name of its father, Zechariah. 60And, responding, its mother said: "No! But he will be called John."61But they said to her: "There is no one of your kindred who is called by that name" 62So they nodded to its father for whatever he would be willing to call it, 63and having requested a note-tablet, he wrote saying: "John is its name." And they all wondered. 64Then instantly, his mouth was opened up, and his tongue, and he spoke, blessing God. 65And fear came to be on all those neighbouring them, and in the whole mountainous region of Judea these utterances were being spoken of, 66and all those hearing appointed them in their heart, saying: "what will then this infant be?" for the hand of the Master was with it. 67Now, Zechariah, his father, was filled with holy spirit, and prophesied, saying: 68"Blessed is the Master, the God of Israel, because He gave attention to and designed a redemption for His people, 69and raised up a horn of salvation to us in the house of David His servant, 70just as He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from time immemorial, 71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all those hating us, 72to fulfil mercy for our fathers and in remembrance of His holy covenant, 73an oath which He swore to our father Abraham, 74that, having been rescued from the hand of our enemies, to give us to offer service to Him without fear 75in virtue and justice, in His sight, all our days (of our life*). 76And, (moreover*) you infant, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go ahead of the Master in His sight, to make His ways ready, 77to give the knowledge of salvation to His people in the absolution of their sins 78through God's merciful compassions. In it, a daybreak has given us attention from on high 79to light up those sitting in darkness and in death's shadow, and to level our feet into a way of peace." 80So the infant grew and his spirit was empowered, and he was in the deserts until the day of his exposure to Israel. ====================================================== ====================================================== 1Now it came to be, in those days, that a decree by Caesar Augustus came out for the entire inhabited world to be registered. 2This first registration came to be from the ruling of Quirinus of Syria. 3So all went about their way to be registered, each into their own city. 4And moreover, Joseph went up from Galilee out of Nazareth into Judea to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, he being {born} through the house and parentage of David, 5to register with Mary who, having been [married / engaged] to him, was heavy with child. 6Then it came to be, them being there, that the days of her giving birth were fulfilled. 7And she gave birth to her son, the firstborn, and wrapped him and reclined him in the manger because there was no place for them in the inn. 8And shepherds were in the same region, camping out and guarding the night watches over their flock, 9and (lo and behold!*) a messenger of the Master came upon them and the glory of the Master shone around them; and they got frightened with great fear. 10And the messenger said to them: "Don't take fright, for look! I bring a good message to You which will be a great joy to all the people, 11because to You today, in the city of David, was given birth a saviour who is Sovereign Christ {the anointed Sovereign}. 12And this is the sign to you: You will find a baby lying in a manger, having been wrapped." 13And suddenly, a multitude of the heavenly army came to be with the messenger, praising God and saying: 14"Glory in the highermosts to God and on Earth! Peace among people of benevolence!" 15And it came to be, as those messengers departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another: "let us go at once through to Bethlehem and, this utterance having come to be, let us catch sight of it, which the Master has got us to know!" 16And they went, hurrying on, and they found out Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. 17Moreover, on catching sight of it, they [got to know / made known round] about the utterance that had been spoken to them about this infant. 18And all those who heard about what was spoken to them by the shepherds wondered, 19but Marie preserved all these utterances, convening them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned back, glorifying and praising God over all that which they heard and caught sight of, just as it was spoken to them. 21And when the eight days for [him / the infant] to be circumcised were fulfilled, then his name was called Jesus, the one having been called by the messenger prior to his conceiving in the womb. 22So when the days of [their / her] purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up into Jerusalem to present him to the Master, 23just as it has been written in the law of the Master that every male opening up a womb, will be called holy to the Master {Exodus 12:2,11-16}, 24and to give a sacrifice of a pair of turtledove or two younglings of doves, according to what has been said in the law of the Master. 25And look! A man whose name was Simeon was in Jerusalem, and this man, righteous and reverent, was in expectation of Israel' s consolation, and the holy spirit was upon him. 26Also it had been conveyed to him by the holy spirit that he would not see death (ever*) before he would have caught sight of the Anointed of the Master. 27And he went in the spirit into the sacred place and to where the parents of the infant Jesus were to do according to what was customary to the law about him, 28and he took him up into his arms and blessed God, and said: 29"O, Owner! You are now letting your servant go in peace according to your utterance, 30because my eyes have seen your salvage, 31which you made ready in front of all the people, 32a light of revelation to nations and a glory for your people Israel." 33And it was, as [Joseph / his father] and his mother were wondering over these things being spoken about him, 34that Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: "Look: This one is placed for the downfall and resurrection of many in Israel, and for a disputed sign 35so that whatever reasoning from many hearts may be revealed, and (moreover,*) a sword will go through your own soul." 36And there, was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel from Asher's tribe, herself well advanced in years, and who lived with a man seven years from her virginity. 37And she was a widow for eighty-four years who never withdrew from the sacred place, offering service with fasts and supplications. 38And in the same hour, coming on, she made a profession of [God / the Master] and spoke about him to all those in expectation of Jerusalem's redemption. 39So as they had ended all the things according to the law of the Master, they went back to Galilee, into their own city Nazareth. 40Furthermore, the infant grew and he was empowered (in spirit*), being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. 41Now, his parent went their way into Jerusalem from year to year to the festival of the Pass Over, 42and when he was twelve years old, they went up (to Jerusalem*) according to their custom, and that of the festival, 43and when the days of their returning were completed, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and [his parents / Joseph and his mother] didn't realise it, 44but concluding him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey and searched him out in among their kinfolks and those known, 45and not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, searching him (out*). 46And it came to be that after three days they found him in the sacred place, sitting down in the midst of the instructors, listening and questioning them 47(moreover, all those hearing him were astounded over his comprehension and responses), 48and catching sight of him, they were astonished and his mother said to him: "Child, why did you do so to us? Look: your father as well as I have been seeking you, distressed?" 49And he said to them: "Why were you seeking me for? Have you not perceived that is has to be that I be among those of my father?" 50but they didn't comprehend the utterance, which he spoke to them. 51And he went down with them and went into Nazareth, subjecting himself to them, and his mother preserved all the utterances in her heart. 52And Jesus progressed in wisdom, stature and grace beside God and men. ====================================================== ====================================================== 1Moreover, in the fifteenth year of the rulership of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was ruling Judea, during Herod's tetrarchy of Galilee, his brother Philip being tetrarch of Iturea {Golan Heights} and the region of Trachonitidis {South-west Syria}, and during Lysanias' tetrarchy of Abilene {south-east Lebanon}, 2under the chief priests Annas and Caiaphas, God's utterance came to be upon John, the son of Zechariah, in the desert. 3And he went into all the regions around the Jordan proclaiming baptism of repentance, unto an absolution of sins, 4as have been written in the book (of the enunciations*) of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one crying out in the desert: 'make ready the way of the Master, produce His paths straight.'' 5Every valley will be fully filled and every mountain and hill will be lowered, and what is twisted will be straight, and rough ways plain, 6and all flesh will view the salvage of God." 7Therefore he said to the crowd coming out to be baptised by him: "Offspring of vermin, who indicated to you to escape from the intended ignition? 8Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance and, would you not begin to say among yourselves: 'a father we have: Abraham!' for I say to you that God is of power to rouse children to Abraham out of these stones. 9And moreover, the axe is already lying toward the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree not producing fine fruit is cut out and tossed into the fire." 10And the crowd questioned him saying: "What then should we be doing?" 11So he said to them: "The one who has two tunics, let him give to the one who hasn't, and the one who has foods let him do likewise." 12And moreover, tax collectors came to be baptised and they said to him: "Instructor, what should we be doing?" 13So he said to them: "Practice nothing more beside what has been set up for you." 14And also those serving in the army questioned him saying: "And us, what should we be doing?" And he said to them: "You should terrorise no one, nor should you calumniate, and be content with your wages." 15But, as the people were in anticipation and all in ponderment in their hearts about John, whether or not he could be the Anointed, 16John responded, saying to all: "I indeed am baptising you in water, but one stronger than me is coming, whose sandals' straps I am not enough to loosen. He will baptise you in holy spirit and fire, 17he whose fork is in his hand to purge his threshing floor and to assemble the grain into his barn. But the chaff, he will burn down by an inextinguishable fire." 18Therefore, with indeed many other things, he gave the good message, consoling the people. 21,22So, it came to be, that once everyone of the people were baptised, that whilst Jesus was being baptised and praying, that heaven was opened up, and that the holy spirit descended on him like the bodily apparition of a dove, and that a voice came out of heaven (saying*): "You are my son, the beloved, of whom I have approved." 23And he, Jesus began at about thirty years old, being as it was concluded son of Joseph {this line is accepted as that of Mary, represented by Joseph, her husband, as it was custom}, son of Heli {Mary's father}, 24son of Matthat, son of Levi, son of Melchi, son of Jannai, son of Joseph, 25son of Mattathias, son of Amos, son of Nahum, son of Esli, son of Naggai, 26son of Maath, son of Mattathias, son of Semein, son of Josech, son of Joda, 27son of Joanan, son of Rhesa, son of Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, son of Neri, 28son of Melchi, son of Addi, son of Cosam, son of Elmadam, son of Er, 29son of Joshua, son of Eliezer, son of Jorim, son of Matthat, son of Levi, 30son of Simeon, son of Judah, son of Joseph, son of Jonam, son of Eliakim, 31son of Melea, son of Menna, son of Matattha, son of Nathan, son of David, 32son of Jesse, son of Obed, son of Boaz, son of Salmon, son of Nahshon, 33son of Amminadab, son of Admin, son of Arni, son of Hezron, son of Perez, son of Judah, 34son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, son of Terah, son of Nahor, 35son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Shelah, 36son of Cainan, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, son of Lamech, 37son of Methuselah, son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalaleel, son of Cainan, 38son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God. ====================================================== ====================================================== 1,2Moreover, full of holy spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led in the spirit into the desert, forty days, being tried by the Devil, and he consumed nothing on any of those days, and whilst they were concluding, he (eventually*) hungered. 3[And / So] the Devil said to him: "If son of God you are, say to this stone that it should come to be bread." 4And Jesus responded to him (saying*): "It has been written that man will not live on bread alone (but on every utterance of God*) {Deuteronomy 8:3}." 5And leading him up (into a high mountain*), [he / the Devil] showed him in a flash of time all the kingships of the inhabited world. 6And the Devil said to him: "I will give you the whole of This authority, and the glory of them {kingships}, because to me it has been handed over, and I give it to whomsoever I may be willing. 7Therefore, if ever you should prostate yourself in my sight, all will be yours." 8And Jesus, answering, said to him: "(Get off behind me, Satan.*) It has been written: 'you will prostrate yourself to God your Master, and to Him alone you will offer service. {Deuteronomy 6:13}'" 9So, he led him into Jerusalem and stood him on the wing of the sacred place, and said to him: "If (the*) son of God you are, throw yourself down from here, 10because it has been written that His messengers should be mandated about you in order to protect you, 11and (that*) they should take you up in their hands thereby you should not thrust your foot toward a stone. {Psalms 91:11,12}" 12And Jesus, answering, said to him that it had been said 'you will not try the Master your God out. {Deuteronomy 6:16}' 13And concluding all trial, the Devil withdrew from him until an appropriate time
