\subsubsection{Instructions on Prayer}
|
|
\VS{1} And it came to pass when he was in the place where he prayed,
|
|
as he stopped, one of his disciples said to him:
|
|
Lord, teach us to pray, just as \John also
|
|
taught his disciples.
|
|
\VS{2} So he said to them: When you pray, be saying:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Father, let\fnImperative{} your name be holy \\
|
|
Your kingdom come \\
|
|
\VS{3} Be giving to us each day our \epiousios\fnEpiousios{} bread \\
|
|
\VS{4} And forgive us our sins, \\
|
|
For we also forgive all [those having] come short towards us. \\
|
|
And lead us not into [the] test.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} And he said to them: Who among you has [a] friend,
|
|
and he proceeds to him during the night and he says to him: Friend,
|
|
lend me three loaves,
|
|
\VS{6} since my friend has come from the road to me
|
|
and I do not have anything to set before him.
|
|
\VS{7} And that [one] from inside answering said:
|
|
Be not causing trouble for me, I have already shut the door,
|
|
and my children are with me in the bed.
|
|
I am unable having arisen to give [anything[ to you.
|
|
\VS{8} I say to you, if he will not give to him [the loaves]
|
|
having arisen because he is his friend,
|
|
because of his insistence will he having arisen give whatever he needs.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} And I say to you, Be asking, and it will be given you;
|
|
be seeking, and you will find; be knocking, and it will be opened to you.
|
|
\VS{10} For everyone asking receives, and [everyone] seeking finds,
|
|
and to [everyone] knocking it will be opened.
|
|
\VS{11} But from which father among you will his son request [a] fish,
|
|
but instead of [a] fish will give him [a] snake?
|
|
\VS{12} Or he also request [an] egg, will he give him [a] scorpion?
|
|
\VS{13} If therefore you being wicked\fnPoneros{} know good gifts to give to your children,
|
|
how much more will the father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking him.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{\Iesous and \Beelzebub}
|
|
\VS{14} And he was casting out [a] demon, and it was mute,
|
|
so it came [about] when the demon came out the mute spoke,
|
|
and the crowds marveled.
|
|
\VS{15} But some of them said:
|
|
In Beelzeboul the ruler of demons he casts out demons.
|
|
\VS{16} And others testing [him] were seeking [a] sign; from heaven from him.
|
|
\VS{17} But he having known their thoughts said to them:
|
|
Every kingdom divided against itself is laid wasted,
|
|
and house against house falls.
|
|
\VS{18} Now if \Satan be divided against himself, how does his kingdom stand?
|
|
For you say I cast out demons in Beezeboul.
|
|
\VS{19} But if I cast out demons in Beezeboul,
|
|
in whom do your sons cast [them] out?
|
|
By this they become your judges.
|
|
\VS{20} But if by the finger of God I cast out demons,
|
|
then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
|
|
\VS{21} But whenever the strong being fully armed guards his own court,
|
|
his possessions are in peace.
|
|
\VS{22} But if one stronger than him having entered conquer him,
|
|
he will take his full armor against whom he had prevailed,
|
|
and will distribute the spoils.
|
|
\VS{23} The [one] not being with me is against me,
|
|
and the [one] not gathering with me scatters.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Response to \Iesous's Work}
|
|
\VS{24} Whenever the unclean spirit goes out from the person\fnAnthropos{},
|
|
he goes through dry places seeking rest,
|
|
and not finding [any] he says:
|
|
I will return to the house whence I departed.
|
|
\VS{25} And having come he finds [it] swept and decorated.
|
|
\VS{26} Then he goes and gathers seven other demons more wicked\fnPoneros{} than himself,
|
|
and having entered they set up house there,
|
|
and the last [state] of that person\fnAnthropos{} becomes worse than the first.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Sign of \Iona}
|
|
\VS{27} Now it came to pass when he was saying these [things a]
|
|
certain woman having lifted up [her] voice said:
|
|
Blessed [is] the belly\footnote{womb} that bore you
|
|
and the breasts which gave you suck.
|
|
\VS{28} But he said:
|
|
On the contrary, blessed are those hearing the word\fnLogos{} of God and guarding [it].
|
|
\VS{29} Now when the crowds were gathered even more he began to be saying:
|
|
This generation is [a] wicked\fnPoneros{} generation;
|
|
it seeks [a] sign, and [a] sign will not be given it except the sign of \Iona.
|
|
\VS{30} For just as \Iona became [a] sign to the Ninevites,
|
|
thus will also the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} be to this pernicious generation.
|
|
\VS{31} [The] queen of the south will arise in the judgment
|
|
with the men\fnAner{} of this generation and condemn them;
|
|
for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
|
|
and behold [one] greater than Solomon [is] here.
|
|
\VS{32} [The] men\fnAner{} of Ninevah will arise in the judgment
|
|
with this generation and condemn them;
|
|
for they repented upon the preaching of \Iona, and behold [one] greater than \Iona [is] here.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Internal Light}
|
|
\VS{33} No one having lit [a] lamp places it in [a] hidden place
|
|
nor under the peck measure,
|
|
but upon the lampstand, in order that those entering the radiance might see.
|
|
\VS{34} The light of the body is your eye.
|
|
Whenever your eye be clear\footnote{or ``sound,'' ``healthy,'' ``single,'' ``simple''},
|
|
even your whole body is full of light.
|
|
But whenever it be wicked\fnPoneros{}, your body also [is] dark.
|
|
\VS{35} Be looking therefore that the light in you be not darkness.
|
|
\VS{36} If therefore your whole body be full of light, not having any part dark,
|
|
it will all be full of light, as when the lamp illumines you with light.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Rebuking the Pharisees and Experts in the Law}
|
|
\VS{37} Now when he spoke [a] Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him;
|
|
so having entered he reclined.
|
|
\VS{38} Now the Pharisee when he saw marveled that he did not first wash before breakfast.
|
|
\VS{39} So the Lord said to him:
|
|
Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish,
|
|
but the inside [of you] is full of robbery and wickedness\fnPoneros{}.
|
|
\VS{40} Ignorant [ones], doesn't the [one] doing the outside also do the inside?
|
|
\VS{41} Nevertheless give what is inside to charitable giving and behold all in you is pure.
|
|
|
|
\VS{42} But woe to you Pharisees, for you tithe mint and rue and every herb,
|
|
and pass by the judgment and agape-love of God.
|
|
But it was necessary to do these not leaving the others undone.
|
|
\VS{43} But woe to you Pharisees,
|
|
for you agape-love the first seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
|
|
\VS{44} Woe to you, for you are as the unseen grave, and men walking above do not know [of it].
|
|
|
|
\VS{45} But answering one of the lawyers says to him:
|
|
Teacher, saying these [things] you treat us insolently.
|
|
\VS{46} But he said: And woe also to you lawyers,
|
|
for you burden men with burdens difficult to carry,
|
|
and you with one [of your] fingers do not touch these burdens.
|
|
\VS{47} Woe to you, that build the graves of the prophets,
|
|
for your fathers killed them.
|
|
\VS{48} Therefore are you witnesses and you agree with the deeds [of your] fathers,
|
|
for they killed them, and you build their graves.
|
|
\VS{49} And because of this the wisdom of God said:
|
|
I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of them they kill and persecute,
|
|
\VS{50} in order that the blood of all the prophets
|
|
shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation,
|
|
\VS{51} from the blood of Abel until [the] blood of Zacharius,
|
|
the [one] destroyed between the altar and the house.
|
|
Yes, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.
|
|
\VS{52} Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge.
|
|
You yourselves do not enter and those entering you prevent\footnote{or ``hinder''}.
|
|
|
|
\VS{53} And then when he departed the scribes and the Pharisees
|
|
began to have grudge terribly, and to be closely interrogating him,
|
|
\VS{54} lying in wait to catch something from his mouth.
|
