MATTHEW III. 14—17; IV. 1—25; V. 1-8. Jordan､ unto John, — to be immersed by him. But |he| would have hindered him, saying — and dost |thou| come unto me? But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer [me] even now, — for |thus| it becometh us､ to fulfil |all righteousness|; been immersed> straightway| went up from the water, — and lo ! the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God^ descending like a dove coming upon him ; and lo ! a voice out of the heavens, — saying, delight.
 * I| have |need| ||by thee|| to be immersed, —
 * Then| he suffered him. And Jesus  speak ! that ||these stones|| may become |loaves|. But |he| answering, said, It is written, — ^ Not on bread alone shall man live, But on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God. |Then| the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, — and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple; and saith to him —  cast thyself down, — for it is written, To his messengers will he give charge con- cerning thee ; And on hands will they bear thee up, Lest once thou strike ^against a stone Thy foot. Jesus said to him, |Again| it is written, — <* Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God. |Again| the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, — and pointeth out to him air the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; and said to him, wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him. Withdraw, Satan ! for it is written, — The Lord thy God shalt thou worship. And to him alone render divine service. |Then| the adversary leaveth him, — and lo! unto him. And , he retired into Galilee; and^ forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, — within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali : that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:  he saw two' brethren — Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, — casting a large fishing-net into the sea, for they were fishers; and he saith unto them. Come after me, — And I will make you fishers |of men|. And ||they|| |straightway| leaving the nets, fol- lowed him. And  he saw other' two' brethren — James the son of Zebedee,and John his brother — in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets, — and he called them. And ||they|| |straightway| leaving the boat and their father, followed him. And Jesus was going round throughout all' Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and pro- claiming the glad-message of the kingdom, — and curing every' disease, and every' infirmity, among the people. And forth went the report of him into all Syria ; and they brought unto him all who were sick,|with divers' diseases and tortures| distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, — and he cured them. And there followed him large multitudes — from Gali- lee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.
 * afterwards| he hungered.
 * All these things|| will I give thee, — if thou
 * messengers| came near, and began ministering
 * A great light| beheld, —

5 But [seeing the multitudes] he went up into a mountain, — and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him<i; and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: — ||Happy|| the destitute^ |in spirit|; For |theirs| is the kingdom of the heavens: ||Happy|| they who mourn; For |they| shall be comforted^: ||Happy|| the meek; For |they| shall inherit the earth ': ||Happy|| they who hunger and thirst for righteousness ; For |they| shall be filled : ||Happy|| the merciful; For |they| shall receive mercy: ||Happy|| the pure |in heart|«; For |they| shall |see God|: = Or (WH) : " opened unto him."
