Don't weep.
Young man, to you I say: Be awakened.
Departing, report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind ones receive sight. Lame ones walk around. Scaly ones are cleansed, and deaf ones hear. Dying ones are awakened. Beggars are brought the good news.
Also, he is fortunate whenever he is not tripped up by me.
What did you go out into the desolation to gaze at for yourselves? A hollow stalk under a wind shaking itself?
Instead, what did you go out to see? A man having wrapped himself in a soft cloak. Look. Those in a cloak of honor -- and it gives airs -- rule. They are in the king's palaces.
Indeed, what did you go out to see, a shining light? Yes, I tell you, and extraordinarily a shining light.
This is about whom it has been written: "Look! I send off this messenger of mine before a face of yours who will build that way of yours in front of you.
I tell you all, among offspring of women, no one is more mature than John. However, the younger one among the realm of the Divine is more mature than him!
To whom therefore will I liken the people of this type here? And to whom are they like?
They are like kids, those in a marketplace, having seated themselves and issuing orders to one another. He said this: We played to you and you didn't dance. We sang a dirge, and you didn't weep.
Because he showed up, John the Dunker, rejecting eating bread and rejecting drinking wine, and you say he has an invisible oppressor.
The son of the man has shown up, eating and drinking, and you say, "Look! A man, a glutton, and a wine drinker. a friend of tax collectors and of erring ones!
And this wisdom is proven right by all those children of hers.
Simon, I have something to you to say.
Two poor debtorsvwere in with a money lender, a someone. The one owed five hundred denari, however, the other fifty.
With their not having it to give back, he graced both. Which. then, of them should care more for him?
Correctly judged!
Watch here, this woman. I entered yours into this house. You didn't give me water for feet. She, however, with those tears, herself wet mine, these feet, and, with those hairs of hers, she wiped dry,
You didn't give me a kiss. She, however, from when I entered, she didn't stop kissing mine these feet.
This realm, this one of my own, is not from this society, this one here. If this realm, this one of my own, were from this society, this one here, the aides, those of my own, would be fighting, maybe, so that I might not be given over to the Jews. Now, however, this realm, this one of my own, is not from that source.
With oil, this head of mine you did not rub down. She, however, with perfume herself rub down these feet of mine.
I tell you her returned favor, they have been let go those mistakes of hers, the many because she cared much. To whom, however, little is let go, little he might care.
They have been let go, yours, those mistakes.
This trust of yours has rescued you. Depart in health.
He went out, the one seeding for that seeding of his. And in the seeding itself, it certainly fell down along the path and not only was it trampled but also the winged ones of the sky ate it up.
And another fell down on the rock and, being grown, it was withered thanks to the moisture lack.
And another fell in among the thorns and, being made to grow together, the thorns suffocated it.
And another fell into the ground, that favorable, and, being grown, produced fruit, a hundred times more. The one having ears to hear, he must hear!
To you, it has been given to learn the secrets of the realm of the Divine. To those remaining, however, in parables so that seeing they might not see; and hearing, they might not put it together.
So, it is itself/here: this analogy. The seed is the concept of the Divine.
So the ones along the way are those hearing. Soon the slanderer starts out and lifts away that concept from that heart of theirs lest trusting they might be rescued.
So those upon the rock, those, since they hear with delight, welcome the idea also. These don't have a root; these for a season believe and in a season of testing, they will fall away by themselves.
So the one falling into the thorns? These are those hearing and proceeding with worries and wealth and pleasures of this living, they are choked and don't ripen.
And the concerns during this lifetime and the deception of wealth, and those about those times remaining, desires entering by themselves. They crush the message and it becomes barren.
So the one in the beautiful earth, these are anyone with a heart, beautiful and valuable, hearing this idea, hold fast and produces fruit by endurance.
No one, however, lighting a lamp , hides it with a vessel or puts it underneath a couch, Instead, he puts it upon a lamp stand so that those going in might see the light.
Because it is not hiding which will not become open nor obscure that might never be learned and show up into [the] open.
Watch, then, how you hear. Since whoever has, it shall be given to him. And whoever does not have also he expects to have. It shall be taken from him.
My mother and my brothers? These are those hearing and performing the concept of the Divine
Where? That faith of yours?
What is a name to you?
Who [is] the one grasping onto me?
Someone grabbed onto me because I myself know power exiting from me.
Daughter, that trust of yours has rescued you. Depart in health.
Don't be afraid. Only trust and she will be kept alive.
Don't cry because she didn't die. Instead, she sleeps.
The child awakens.
Pick up nothing for the road neither a staff nor a food pouch nor a bread loaf, nor cash, nor to carry[up to] two undershirts
And into whatever household you come into, there remain and from there come out.
And whenever many do not welcome you, departing out from that community there, knock off the dirt from those feet of yours for a testimony against them.
Give to them to eat, you yourselves.
Make them sit down in parties of about fifty.
What do the crowds call me to be?
Yourselves, however, who do you call me to be?
It needed the son of the man to undergo many thing not only to be rejected from these old men and head priests and writers but also to be destroyed and on the third day to be awakened.
If anyone wants to show up after me he must reject himself and he must take up that staff of his for a time and he must follow me.
Because whoever wants to save that self of his destroys it. Whoever, however, loses that self of his for me, this one saves it.
Because what person is helped, gaining the whole society however destroying himself or being damaged.
Because whoever is ashamed of me and these my ideas, the Son of the man will be ashamed of this one whenever he shows up in that reputation of his and of the Father and of the holy messengers.
