Aswith all pioneering projects, the book contained a number <strong>of</strong>errors, typographicaland otherwise, and raised a series <strong>of</strong> questions. This second and fully revisededition, retitled <strong>Hebrew</strong> <strong>Gospel</strong> <strong>of</strong>Matthew, intends to eliminate the errors andaddress the questions.Considerable attention has been given to making the translation morereadable. It has also been revised with regard to accuracy.The analysis section <strong>of</strong> the book has largely been rewritten to take intoaccount a series <strong>of</strong> studies I have published on the text since 1987. I have alsotried to state things more clearly and less dogmatically. The main thrust <strong>of</strong>thissecond edition is to demonstrate that the <strong>Hebrew</strong> Matthew contained in Shem­Tob's Evan Bohan predates the fourteenth century. In my judgment, Shem-Tobthe polemist did not prepare this text <strong>by</strong> translating it from the Latin Vulgate, theByzantine Greek, or any other known edition <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gospel</strong> <strong>of</strong> Matthew. Hereceived it from previous generations <strong>of</strong> Jewish scribes and tradents.It is my hope that the modifications <strong>of</strong> the present work will provide thereader with a text <strong>of</strong> Shem-Tob's <strong>Hebrew</strong> Matthew that is basically free fromerror and one that is set in a proper historical and linguistic context.University <strong>of</strong> Georgia17 October 1994<strong>George</strong> <strong>Howard</strong>

He revised his work severaltimes-in 1385, around 1400, and even later-<strong>by</strong> adding another five books orsections to the original twelve. 1 Mostmanuscripts contain eitherfifteen orsixteenchapters, not always arranged in the same order. Ofthe original books, usuallythe first deals with the principles <strong>of</strong> the Jewish faith, the next nine deal withpassages in the Bible that were disputed <strong>by</strong> Jews and Christians, the eleventh discusseshaggadic sections in the Talmud used <strong>by</strong> Christians or Jewish proselytesto Christianity, and the twelfth (sometimes thirteenth) contains the entire <strong>Gospel</strong><strong>of</strong> Matthew in <strong>Hebrew</strong>, with polemical comments <strong>by</strong> Shem-Tob interspersedthroughout the text.<strong>Part</strong> one <strong>of</strong>the present volume contains the <strong>Hebrew</strong> text <strong>of</strong>Matthew foundin Shem-Tob's treatise. A critical apparatus, noting manuscript variation, accompaniesthe text, and an English translation appears on facing pages. The polemicalcomments <strong>of</strong>Shem-Tob have been eliminated so that the gospel text may runcontinuously from beginning to end without interruption.<strong>Part</strong> two contains an analysis <strong>of</strong>Shem-Tob's <strong>Hebrew</strong> Matthew, including itsplace within the traditional <strong>Hebrew</strong>/Aramaic-Matthew tradition, and a literary,textual, and theological pr<strong>of</strong>ile.IFor a discussion <strong>of</strong> these later additions see Alexander Marx, "The PolemicalManuscripts in the Library <strong>of</strong> the Jewish Theological Seminary <strong>of</strong> America," in Studiesin Jewish Bibliography and Related Subjects in Memory <strong>of</strong>Abraham Solomon Freidus(1867-1923) (New York: The Alexander Kohut Memorial Foundation, 1929) 247-78, esp.265-70; W.

Library <strong>of</strong> the Jewish Theological Seminary <strong>of</strong>America, New York.H Ms. Mich. 137. Bodleian Library, Oxford.All the manuscripts date between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries andare written in various types <strong>of</strong>script. The best manuscript <strong>of</strong>the lot is the BritishLibrary Ms. Add. 26964. Althought this copy is incomplete, covering Matt1: 1-23:22, the excellent quality <strong>of</strong> its text demanded that it be printed. ManuscriptC is an almost exact replica <strong>of</strong>the British Library ms., including breaking<strong>of</strong>f at 23:22. It is written, however, in very small letters and is sometimesdifficult to read.Another manuscript <strong>of</strong>good quality belongs to the Jewish Theological Seminary<strong>of</strong> America, catalogued #2426 (noted as #16 <strong>by</strong> Marx in 'The PolemicalManuscripts in the Library <strong>of</strong> the Jewish Theological Seminary <strong>of</strong> America,"252). It serves as the printed text for Matt 23:23-28:20. In the apparatus, it isnoted as ms. D. Manuscript A, from Leiden, is <strong>of</strong> fair quality, but has receivedconsiderable revision with respect to improvements in grammar and assimilationto the Greek and Latin texts. Manuscript B, from the Bodleian Library, is <strong>of</strong>good quality, but is difficult to read. Because <strong>of</strong>the type <strong>of</strong>pen and ink used <strong>by</strong>the scribe, the letters <strong>of</strong>ten run together and are sometimes indistinguishable.Manuscripts E and F are virtually identical and are <strong>of</strong>mediocre quality. ManuscriptG is the poorest in quality <strong>of</strong> all the texts I have used. It is written in asloppy hand <strong>by</strong> a scribe who had little qualms in omitting and adding material.ManuscriptH is only fragmentary, containing: 1:18b-19; 2:1,13,16-18; 3:16; 4:1;5:27,28,31-34,38-40,43-44; 6:5,19-20; 7:6, 24-28; 9:10-13, 32-38; 11:11-15,2For a more complete list <strong>of</strong>manuscripts, see Pinchas E. Lapide, "Der 'Priifstein' ausSpanien," Sefarad 34 (1974): 230.25-28; 12:1, 15-18,22-29,31-32,46-47; 13:53-57; 14:28; 15:1-6, 10b-ll, 20b;16:13-20; 17:1-3; 19:16-18; 21:1-2, 18-19,23-27; 22:23-24,29-33; 23:16-18;24:20,27-28,34-35; 26:1, 26-27, 31, 36-37; 27:15; 28:18.Interrelationships among the WitnessesI make no attempt to trace the history <strong>of</strong>the text through the various recensions<strong>of</strong> Shem-Tob's treatise, nor do I append a stemrna <strong>of</strong> manuscripts. Theindividual Matthean texts, however, reveal certain relationships, and a briefdiscussion<strong>of</strong> these will perhaps be valuable.Generally, the nine manuscripts may be divided into three groups. Group Iconsists <strong>of</strong>British Library Ms. Add. no. 26964 and ms. C. With few exceptions,these two writings are virtually identical. Both are carefully copied and showminimal tendency toward scribal error and assimilation to the canonical Greekand Latin.Group II consists <strong>of</strong> A B H. Containing some differences, these mss. areclearly related in text form. They are characterized <strong>by</strong> careful copying with fewscribal errors. They also show a tendency for assimilation to the Greek and Latin.B is the best <strong>of</strong> this group, showing less assimilation than A. H is only fragmentary(see above).Group III consists <strong>of</strong>D E F G. Mss. E and F are virtually identical, with Dand G <strong>of</strong>ten reading with them. The latter two also have many individual differences.This group is characterized <strong>by</strong> some scribal error and some assimilationto the Greek and Latin. They are, however, less assimilated to the Greek andLatin than Group II. D is <strong>by</strong> far the best <strong>of</strong> this group, G <strong>by</strong> far the worst.Text and ApparatusThe present edition does not aim at producing an eclectic text <strong>of</strong>Shem-Tob's<strong>Hebrew</strong> Matthew. Until a more complete evaluation <strong>of</strong> the Shem-Tob traditionis aVa'ilable, the printing <strong>of</strong> an individual manuscript will serve for a workingtext. The printed text comes from British Library Ms. Add. no. 26964 and ms.D, as explained above, including the errors and inconsistencies in spelling andgrammar <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these manuscripts. Periods and question marks have beenadded editorially to the printed <strong>Hebrew</strong>. In a few instances, where the base textcontains a lacuna, the text <strong>of</strong>another manuscript has been selected to fill the gap.In each instance, the supplementary text has been placed within parentheses (forexamples see 3:10a; 18:2b-5a).Variant readings are noted in a critical apparatus. Except for plenary, ornonplenaryvocalization and a few illegible scriblings, the notation <strong>of</strong>all variants iscomplete. The limited number <strong>of</strong>manuscripts used in the apparatus, <strong>of</strong> course,


xiv<strong>Hebrew</strong> <strong>Gospel</strong>gives only a sampling <strong>of</strong> variation that occurs in the manuscript tradition as awhole.The TranslationThe translation attempts to be faithful to the <strong>Hebrew</strong> without being awkwardor wooden. The rough style <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Hebrew</strong>, however, is <strong>of</strong>ten reflected <strong>by</strong> theEnglish. Occasionally its sense is unclear (15:5; 16:21; 17:3) because the <strong>Hebrew</strong>is unclear. Proper names are usually given their common English spellings exceptwhere a different pronunciation is distinctly indicated <strong>by</strong> the <strong>Hebrew</strong>. In someinstances, a variant reading has been translated rather than the printed text. Thisoccurs where it is necessary for the sense <strong>of</strong>the text. These renderings are placedwithin parentheses. In many instances the printed text is translated, in spite <strong>of</strong>difficulties, in order to preserve a disparitybetween the <strong>Hebrew</strong> and the Greek.In no sense is the translation a thoroughgoing eclectic rendering <strong>of</strong> the manuscripttradition.<strong>Part</strong> <strong>One</strong>Text and TranslationAbbreviations and Notations() 1.

I also will goto him to worship.9 They harkened unto the king and went, and behold the star which theysaw in the East was going before them until they came to the place.When they entered Bethlehem it stopped before the placewhere the child was.10 When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.II They (came) into the house, found him and his mother Mary, kneltbefore him, worshipped him, opened their sacks, and brought to himgifts <strong>of</strong> gold, frankincense, and myrrh, that is, mira.12 Then they were commanded in a dream <strong>by</strong> the angel who spoke to themnot to return to Herod; so they returned to their land <strong>by</strong> another route.13 As they were going, behold the angel <strong>of</strong> the Lord appeared unto Joseph(saying:) Arise, take the boy and his mother, flee to Egypt and stay thereuntil I tell you, because Herod will seek the boy to kill him.14 So he took the boy and his mother7

Being grieved at heart, he commanded that word be sent toall his princes to kill all the male children who were in Bethlehem andits borders who had been born from the time when the magicians spoketo him concerning the birth <strong>of</strong> the boy.17 Then was fulfilled that which Jeremiah the prophet spoke:18 A voice was heard in Rama, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachelweeping for her children, etc.19 It came to pass when King Herod died, the angel <strong>of</strong> the Lord appearedin a dream to Joseph in Egypt20 saying: Arise, take the boy and his mother and go to the land <strong>of</strong> Israel,because those who were seeking the boy to kill him are dead.21 So he arose, took the boy and his mother, and they returned to the land<strong>of</strong> Israel.22 Then he heard that Horcanus, his name is Argelaus, reigned in Judahin the place <strong>of</strong> Herod his father, and he feared to go there. So the angelurged him in a dream that he should turn unto the land <strong>of</strong> Gilgal.23 He came and dwelt in a city called Nazarith in order to fulfill what theprophet said: He shall be called Nazareth.Chapter 3I In those days came John the Baptizerpreaching in the wilderness <strong>of</strong>Judah.2 He said: Tum in repentance,for the kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven is about to come,3 to fulfill what was said <strong>by</strong> Isaiah the prophet: A voice <strong>of</strong> one crying,in the desert prepare the way <strong>of</strong> the Lord,make straight in the wilderness a path for our God.4 Behold John was clothed with the hair <strong>of</strong> camels and black leathergirded his loins and his food was locust and the honey <strong>of</strong> the forest.9

Then his disciples (came to) him2 and he opened his mouth and spoke to them saying:3 (Blessed are the humble <strong>of</strong> spirit for theirs is the kingdom <strong>of</strong>heaven.)4 Blessed are those who wait for they shall be comforted.S (Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.)8 Blessed are the innocent <strong>of</strong> heart for they shall see God.9 Blessed are those who pursue peace for they shall be called sons <strong>of</strong>God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness for theirs isthe kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven.11 Blessed are you when they persecute and revile you and say againstyou all kinds <strong>of</strong> evil for my sake, but speak falsely.12 Rejoice and be glad for your reward is very great in heaven, for thusthey persecuted the prophets.13 At that time Jesus said to his disciples: You are salt in the world. If thesalt is neutralized in regard to its taste with what will it be salted? It isfit for nothing but to be cast outside to be trampled under foot.14 You are light in the world. A city built upon a hill cannot be hidden.15 They do not light a lamp to place it in a hidden place where it cannotshine; but they place it upon a lamp stand so that it might shine for allin the house.16 Thus let your light shine before every man to show them your gooddeeds which are praised and glorified before your father who is inheaven.17 At that time Jesus said to his disciples: Do not think that I came to annulthe Torah, but to fulfill it.18 Truly I say to you that until heaven and earth (depart) not one letter ordot shall be abolished from the Torah or the Prophets, because all willbe fulfilled.

So he arose and followed him.10 (He) brought him to his house to'eat. It came to pass while hewas eating, that behold many violent and evil men were at the table andbehold they were dining with Jesus and his disciples.II The Pharisees saw [this] and said to his disciples: Why does yourteacher sit and eat with violent and evil men?12 Jesus heard [this] and said: The healthy have no need (for) healing, butthe sick.13 Go and learn that which is written: I desire kindness and not sacrifice; Ihave not come to restore the righteous but the wicked.14 Then the disciples <strong>of</strong>John came to him and said to him: Why do we andthe Pharisees fast <strong>of</strong>ten but your disciple(s) do not fast?IS Jesus answered them and said: The friends <strong>of</strong> the bridegroom cannotweep and fast while he is with them. The days will come when thebridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.16 No man wastes a piece <strong>of</strong> new garment on an old garment (because) theforce <strong>of</strong> the piece (stretches) the worn out garment and it tears more.17 Nor do they put new wine into old vessels lest the vessels break, and thewine spills out and the vessels perish. But new (wine) is for newvessels and both <strong>of</strong> them are preserved.18 It came to pass when he had spoken to them, a captain approached andbowed down to him saying: Master, my daughter just died. Pleasecome and place your hand upon her and restore her to life.19 Jesus arose and went, he and his disciples with him.20 Behold a woman with a flow <strong>of</strong> blood for twelve years camebehind him and touched the fringe <strong>of</strong> his garment.39

If they call the master<strong>of</strong> the house Baalzebub, so much the more the sons <strong>of</strong> his house.26 Do not fear them, because there is nothing which will not be seen, norhidden (which will not be made known).27 (That which) I say to you in darkness, say it in the light; (that which youhear <strong>by</strong> the ear, tell it in the gate).28 Do not fear those who kill (bodies) who have no power to kill souls;but fear the one who has power to destroy the soul and the body inGehenna.29 Are not two sparrows (sold) for a small coin and not one <strong>of</strong> them willfall to the earth except <strong>by</strong> the will <strong>of</strong> your Father who is heaven?30 Are not all the hairs <strong>of</strong> your head numbered?31 Do not fear, because (you) are better than the sparrows.32 He who praises me before man I will praise before my Father who is inheaven.34 In that hour Jesus said to his disciples: Do not think I have come to put(peace) on the earth, but a sword.3S I have come to separate mankind, the son from his father and thedaughter from her mother.36 The enemy is to be loved ones.37 He who loves his father and his mother more than me, I am not suitablefor him.39 He who loves his life will lose it, he who loses (it) for my sake willfind it.47

Areed cast about <strong>by</strong> the wind?8 Or what did you go out to see? Do you think that John was a manclothed in noble garments? Behold those who wear noble garments arein king's houses.9 If so, what did you go out to see, a prophet?

Therefore it is permissibleand [necessary] for man to do better on the Sabbath.13 Then he said to the man: Stretch out your hand. He stretched out hishand, and it returned as the other,14 Then the Pharisees took counsel and plotted to put him to death.15 It came to pass after this that Jesus knew it; so he turned aside fromthere. Many sick followed him and he healed all <strong>of</strong> them.16 He commanded them saying not to reveal him,17 in order to establish what was spoken <strong>by</strong> Isaiah:18 Behold my servant whom I have selected, my chosen one with whommy soul is pleased; I will put my spirit upon him, and he will declarejustice to the nations.19 He will not fear nor will he run nor shall one hear (his voice) in thestreet.20 A crushed reed he will not break and a dim wick he will not quenchuntil he establishes justice forever,21 and in his name the Gentiles hope.22 Then there was brought to him a blind and dumb man who was demonpossessed; he healed him. The crowds saw [it]23 and marveled and said: Is this not the Son <strong>of</strong> David?24 The Pharisees were quick to hear [this] and said: This one does not castout demons except <strong>by</strong> Baalzebub, the lord <strong>of</strong> demons.2S Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them in a parable: Every kingdomamong you divided shall be made desolate, and so every city or houseupon which division shall fall shall not stand.5512'~;;?Om)1UnlJ) 2 I ABDEFGH I C::l')')1U) O:"l))1U A, O:"l')')1U DEFGH I n')'1 n') 'K A Inp"n7.l 2 ) omp"n7.l F, onp"n7.l E I o:;),n)) 0:"1)) A

But everyone who says a word against the Holy Spirit, it shall notbe forgiven him either in this world or in the world to come.33 Make the tree good according to good fruit, or the tree bad according tobad fruit; because the truth is: from the fruit the tree will be known.34 Family <strong>of</strong> vipers, how can you speak good things when you are evil?Surely the mouth awakens, the heart speaks.35 A good man from the treasure <strong>of</strong> a good heart brings forth good; anevil man from the treasure <strong>of</strong> an evil heart brings forth evil.36 I say to you that for all the words which a man shall speak he will beobliged to give an account on the day <strong>of</strong>judgment.37 According to your words you will be judged and according to yourdeeds you will be convicted.38 At that time, some <strong>of</strong> the Pharisees and sages came to Jesus saying:We wish to see a sign from heaven <strong>by</strong> you.57

Satan comes and snatches awayfrom his heart everything which was sown in it. This is the seed whichfell on the road.20 That which fell upon the rocks is the one who hears the word <strong>of</strong> Godand receives it immediately with joy.21 But he is without root and is (in) confusion and when a little troubleand distress come to them, Satan causes [them] to forget from theirheart.22 That which fell among the thoms, this is the one who hears the wordand in his desire to gather wealth, Satan causes him to forget the word<strong>of</strong> God, and he makes no fruit.23 That which fell into the good earth is the one who hears the word andunderstands it and makes fruit, that is, from good works. He bringsforth from the first a hundred, from the second sixty, and from the thirdthirty. As for the hundred, this is the one purified <strong>of</strong> heart and sanctified<strong>of</strong> body. As for the sixty, this is the one separated from women. As forthe thirty, this is the one sanctified in matrimony, in body and in heart.24 He set before them another parable. The kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven is like aman who sows good seed (in his field).25 It came to pass when the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowedtares over the wheat, that is, beriyagah, and he went away.26 It came to pass when the herb grew up to make fruit, he saw the tares.21 The servants <strong>of</strong> the master <strong>of</strong> the field drew near to him and said tohim: Master did you not sow good seed? Then whence came the tares?28 He said to them: My enemy (did) this. His servants said to him: Wewill uproot the tares.29 He said to them: No, lest you uproot the wheat.30 But let them remain together and grow up until the harvest and in thetime <strong>of</strong> the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather the tares first andbind them into individual bundles for burning and the wheat put intothe granary.63

Hisdisciples came to him and asked him to explain for them the parable <strong>of</strong>the tares.37 He answered them and said to them: The one who sows good seed isman,38 the field is this world, the good fruit is the righteous, and the tares arethe evil.39 The enemy who sowed it is Satan, the standing grain at the end is theworld to come, and the reapers are the angels.40 As the reapers gather the tares to bum, so will it be at the end <strong>of</strong> thedays.41 The Son <strong>of</strong> Man will send his angels to uproot from his kingdom allevil and all who do iniquity.42 They will (cast) them into the pyre <strong>of</strong> fire; there will be weeping andgnashing <strong>of</strong> teeth.43 Then the righteousness will shine like the sun in the kingdom <strong>of</strong> theirfather.

They said: Yes.52 Every wise man in the kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven, therefore, is like a certainfather <strong>of</strong> children who brings forth from his treasure things new and old.53 It came to pass after this, when Jesus finished these words, he passedon from there.54 He came into his own country and was teaching the people in the synagogues.The Pharisees were amazed and said in their heart: Whence(came) to this one the wisdom and power to do these deeds?55 (Is this) not the son <strong>of</strong> the smith and Mary? Do you not know all these:his mother Mary, his three brothers: Joseph, Simon, and Judah,56 and his sisters? Do you not know all these who are with us? Whencecame to this one all these things?57 So they were confused about him.

But he commanded to do so10 and sent to kill John in prison.II They brought the head <strong>of</strong> John in a bowl and gave it to the girl and thegirl gave it to her mother.12 Then the disciples <strong>of</strong> John came and took the body and buried it andthe disciples told the matter to Jesus.13 When Jesus heard it, he departed from there in a boat and went into thewilderness <strong>of</strong> Judea. When the crowds heard they followed him fromall the cities.14 When they came out he saw behind him a numerous people; so heextended kindness to [them] and healed all <strong>of</strong> their diseases.15 At evening time his disciples came to him and said to him:This place is limited (and the time) is advancing. Let the crowds go intothe towers that they might take the necessities for themselves.16 Jesus answered them: They have no need to go; give them to eat.

They also ate the fish according towhat they desired. After they had finished, they took the fragmentswhich remained and filled twelve seahs with them.21 The number <strong>of</strong> those eating was five thousand men apart from womenand children.22 After this, he commanded his disciples to assemble in a boat that theymight (go) before him to the city to which the crowds were going.23 After he left the crowds, he went upon a mountain and prayed alone.At the time <strong>of</strong> evening he was standing alone.24 The boat was in the midst <strong>of</strong> the sea and (the waves <strong>of</strong> the sea) weredriving it because the wind was contrary.2S At the fourth watch <strong>of</strong> the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea.26 When his disciples saw him walking on the sea they were alarmed,thinking he was a demon, and from the greatness <strong>of</strong> their fear they werecrying out.27 Then Jesus answered them and said to them:Let faith be among you because it is I; do not fear.28 Peter answered and said to him: Master, if it is you, command me tocome to you on the water.29 Jesus said to him: Come. So Peter came down from the boat, walkedon the sea and came to Jesus.71

Indeed eating without washingthe hands does not soil the man.21 After Jesus had said this, he went into the regions <strong>of</strong> Tyre and Sodom.22 Then there came to him a certain Canaanite woman, who came from thelands <strong>of</strong> the East, crying out to him: Master, son <strong>of</strong> David, have mercyon me because my daughter is possessed <strong>by</strong> demons.23 Jesus did not answer (her) a word. So his disciples approached himand said to him: Our master, why do you abandon this woman whois crying out after us?24 Jesus answered them: They did not send me except to the lost sheepfrom the house <strong>of</strong> Israel.2S Then the woman worshipped him and said: Lord help me.26 Jesus said to her: It is not good that a man should take the bread fromhis children and give it to the dogs.27 The woman answered: Often the dogs eat the pieces <strong>of</strong> bread that fallfrom the table <strong>of</strong> their master.75

As he stood there30 he saw many people (among whom) were many lame, leprous, thosewho limped, and many others; they fell at his feet and he healed them31 •The people were amazed at how the dwnb were speaking and the lamewere walking and the blind were seeing; all <strong>of</strong> them were praising God.32 Then Jesus said to his disciples: I have compassion on them becausethey have remained with me these two days since they came across andthey have nothing to eat. I do not want to lead them fasting[lest] they grow faint in the way.33 His disciples answered him: Whence will we be able to find bread inthis wilderness to satisfy the people?34 Jesus answered and said to them: How many loaves <strong>of</strong> bread do youhave? They answered: Seven and a few fish.3S ~36 So Jesus commanded the people to sit upon the grass.He took the seven loaves and broke them and gave them to his disciplesand they gave to the people.37 All <strong>of</strong> them ate and were satisfied and (from that which was remainingthey filled) seven seahs.38 Those who were eating were <strong>by</strong> nwnber four thousand men besideswomen and children.39 After this Jesus entered a boat and came to the land <strong>of</strong> Macedonia.Chapter 16ISages and Pharisees came to him, tempting him to teach themsome sign from heaven.77

Whateveryou bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose onearth will be loosed in heaven.20 Then he commanded his disciples not to say that he is the Messiah.21 Henceforth Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that it was necessaryfor him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer the injustice <strong>of</strong> many, from thepriests and the elders <strong>of</strong> the people, until they should kill him; then onthe third day he would arise.22 Peter took him aside privately and began to rebuke (him) saying: Farbe it that it should be like this to you, Lord.23 Jesus turned, looked at him, and said to him: Go away Satan; do notdisobey (me), because you do not regard the word <strong>of</strong> God but thewords <strong>of</strong> man.24 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Whoever wishes to come after me lethim despise himself, take the cross, that is, <strong>of</strong>fer himself unto death,and come after me.25 Everyone who wishes to save his soul will lose it for my sake, and hewho loses his life in this world for my sake will save his soul for thelife <strong>of</strong> the world to come.26 What pr<strong>of</strong>it is there for a man if he should gain the whole world [but]lose his soul forever; what good exchange does the man make if forpresent things that are spoiled he should give his soul to the judgment<strong>of</strong> Gehenna?27 Because the Son <strong>of</strong> God will come in the glory <strong>of</strong> his Father who is inheaven with his angels to reward each man according to his work.28 Truly I say to you there are some <strong>of</strong> those standing here who will nottaste death until they see the Son <strong>of</strong> God coming in his kingdom.81

Asleep but not asleep; awakebut not awake. They saw his body and the two men with him.4 When they went away, then Peter said to Jesus: It is good to be here.Let us make here three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and oneSfor Elijah, because he did not know what he was saying.While he was still speaking, behold a cloud covered them, and theywere greatly alarmed; while they were under the cloud they heard fromthe midst <strong>of</strong> the cloud a voice speaking and saying: Behold, this is myson, my beloved~ my delight is in him, you shall obey him.6 The disciples heard [this], fell on their faces to the ground, and feared exceedingly.7 When the voice ceased, Jesus said to them: Arise, do not fear.8 They lifted up their eyes and saw no one except Jesus alone.9 Jesus came down from the mountain and commanded them saying: Tellno man the vision you have seen until the Son <strong>of</strong> Man has risen fromdeath.10 His disciples asked him saying: Why do the sages say that Elijah willcome first?11 He answered them and said: Indeed Elijah will come and will save allthe world.12 I say to you, he has already come, they did not know him,and they did to him according to their desire.(So) they will do to the Son <strong>of</strong> Man.13 Then the disciples understood that regarding John the Baptizer he wassaying this.83

He also said: Woe to the man who comes because<strong>of</strong> it.8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble cut it <strong>of</strong>f and (cast it)from you; it is better for you to enter into life (blind) or lame than havingtwo hands and two feet for you to be given to everlasting fire.9 If your (eye) should cause you to stumble, pick it out and cast it fromyou. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to have twoeyes and to be given to Gehenna.10 Take heed lest you judge one <strong>of</strong> the small lads. I say to you, their angelsalways see the sons <strong>of</strong> my father who is in heaven,II and the Son <strong>of</strong> Man has stopped saving the enemy.12 What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one <strong>of</strong> them(runs <strong>of</strong>l), will he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains and goseek the one which has strayed?13 If he should find it, truly I say to you he will rejoice over it more thanthe ninety-nine which did not go astray.14 Thus (my) Father who is in heaven does not wish that any <strong>of</strong> these ladsshould be lost.IS At that time Jesus said to Simon, called Petros: If your brother sinsagainst you, reprove him privately. If he listens to you, you have gainedyour brother.89

They asked him saying:Is it permissible for one to leave his wife for any matter and to give hera bill <strong>of</strong> divorce.4 He answered them: Have you not read that he who made them <strong>of</strong> old,male and female he created them.5 He said: Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleaveto his wife and they will become one flesh.6 If so, they are not two but one flesh, and whatever the creator has joinedtogether man is unable to separate.7 (They) said to him: If so, why did Moses command to give her a bill <strong>of</strong>divorce and to send her away from his house?8 He said to them: Moses, because <strong>of</strong> the obstinacy <strong>of</strong> your heart, said foryou to leave your wives. But from eternity it was not so.9 I say to you that everyone who leaves his wife and takes another, if notfor adultery, commits adultery; and he who takes her who has beendivorced (commits adultery).93

Then they madethe ascent.8 Many <strong>of</strong> the crowd spread out their garments in the way, and others(cut) branches from the trees and cast them before him and behind him,9 calling out saying: Hosanna, savior <strong>of</strong> the world, blessed is he whocomes in the name <strong>of</strong> the Lord; hosanna, our savior, may you be glorifiedin heaven and on earth.10 It came to pass afterwards, when Jesus entered Jerusalem, all the cityquaked saying: Who is this?II The people said to one another: Jesus the Prophet from (Nazareth)which is in Galilee.12 Jesus entered the house <strong>of</strong> the Lord and found there those who buy andsell. He overturned the tables <strong>of</strong> the money-changers and the seats <strong>of</strong>those who were selling doves.13 He said unto them: It is written, my house will be called a house <strong>of</strong>prayer for all the nations, but you have made it a cave <strong>of</strong> violent men.14 Then the blind and lame came to him in the temple and he healedthem.15 The chief sages and priests came to see the wonders which he did. Theyoung boys were calling out in the temple saying: Let the Son <strong>of</strong> God bepraised. The sages mocked16 and said to him: Have you not heard what these are saying. He answeredthem and said: I heard them. Have you not read: From the mouth <strong>of</strong>children and babes you have established strength?17 He left and went out to Bethany and (spent the night) there and there hewas explaining to them the' kingdom <strong>of</strong> God.18 It came to pass in the morning that he returnedto the city hungry.19 He saw a fig tree near the road and drew near to it but found nothing onit except leaves. He said to it: May fruit never come forth from you.Immediately the fig tree died up.20 The disciples saw, were amazed, and said: How is it the fig tree driedup immediately?21 J esus answered and said to them: If you have faith without doubt, notonly to the fig tree will you do [thus], but should you say to this mountainthat it should depart and go (into the sea), it will be done.103

Theygneved among themselves saying: What will we say. Ifwe say fromuheaven, he will say to us: Why did you not believe him?.Ifwe say from men, we fear the crowd because all <strong>of</strong> them believe Johnwas a prophet.27 So they said: We do not know. He said: Also I will not tell you <strong>by</strong>what power I do [this].28 In that evening Jesus said to his disciples: What is your opinion? Acertain man had two sons; he approached (one) and said to him: Go myson today to work in my vineyard.29 He said to him: I do not wish to. But afterward he repented and went.30 He said to the other likewise and he answered him: Here I am, Sir, buthe did not go.31 Which <strong>of</strong> two did the will <strong>of</strong> the Father?

He was silent.13 Then the king said to his servants: Bind his hands and feet and cast himto the nether most and lowest hell; there will be weeping and gnashing<strong>of</strong> teeth.14 Many are called but few are chosen.15 Then the Pharisees came and took counsel to take him in speech.16 They sent to him some <strong>of</strong> their disciples, with (violent men) fromHerod saying: Rabbi, we know that you are faithful, you faithfullystudy the way <strong>of</strong> God, you fear nothing, and are impartial.17 Tell us your opinion: Is it right to give tribute to Caesar or not?18 (Jesus recognized) their deceit and said: Why do (you entice me,hypocrites)?109

They left him and went away.23 On that day, the Sadducees and those who deny the resurrection <strong>of</strong>the dead met him. They asked him24 saying: Rabbi, Moses surely said to us: When brothers dwell togetherand one <strong>of</strong> them dies and has no son, his brother should take his wifeto raise up the seed <strong>of</strong> his brother.25 Behold there were seven brothers among us. The first one took a wife,died without seed and his brother married his wife.26 Likewise the second and third unto the seventh.27 After them the woman died.28 Since (she) had already belonged to all <strong>of</strong> them, to which <strong>of</strong> the sevenwill she be a wife?29 Jesus answered and said to them: You err and do not understand thewritings or the power <strong>of</strong> God.30 In the day <strong>of</strong> resurrection men will not take women nor women men,but they will be like the angels <strong>of</strong> God in heaven.3t Have you not read concerning the resurrection <strong>of</strong> the dead that the Lordspoke to you saying:32 I the Lord am the God <strong>of</strong> Abraham, the God <strong>of</strong> Isaac and the God <strong>of</strong>Jacob? If so, he is not the God <strong>of</strong> the dead but the God <strong>of</strong> the living.33 The crowds heard and were amazed at his wisdom.111

They said to him: The son <strong>of</strong> David.43 He said to them: How is it that David <strong>by</strong> the Holy Spirit called himsaying: Lord,44 as it is written: The Lord said to my Lord sit at my right handuntil I make your enemies the footstool <strong>of</strong> your feet.4S If David called him Lord, how is he his son?46 They were not able to answer him a word (and) from then on theyfeared to ask him anything.Chapter 23I Then Jesus spoke to the people and to his disciples2 saying: Upon the seat <strong>of</strong> Moses the Pharisees and the sages sit.1 Now all which (they) say to you keep and do; but (according to) theirordinances and deeds do not do because they say and do not.4 They demand and set forth great burdens [which] (the shoulders <strong>of</strong>men) are not able to bear; but they themselves even with their fingerare unwilling to move.

Then he went on his journey.16 The one who received five coins <strong>of</strong> gold went and gained five others.17 Likewise the one who received two went, bought, sold, and gainedfive others.18 But he who received the one went, dug in the earth, and hid themoney <strong>of</strong> his lord.19 After many days the lord <strong>of</strong> those servants came and sought from theman accounting <strong>of</strong> the money.20 The one who received five coins <strong>of</strong> gold came near (and) said to him:My lord, you gave me five coins <strong>of</strong> gold and behold for you are fiveothers which I have gained.21 His lord said to him: Truly you are a good and faithful servant.Because you have been faithful in a little, I will appoint you over much;enter into the joy <strong>of</strong> your lord.22 Also the one who received two coins <strong>of</strong> gold drew near and said:My lord, you gave me two coins <strong>of</strong> gold; here are two others which Ihave gained.23 His lord said to him: Truly you are a good and faithful servant.

Truly she hasperformed a good and wonderful deed toward me.11 Because the poor (will be) with you always, but I will not be with youalways.12 Her placing this on my body refers to my burial.13 Truly I say to you, everywhere this gospel, that is, evungel, is proclaimedin all the world, that which this one has done will be said inreference to my memory.14 Then one <strong>of</strong> the Twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to thechief priests.IS He said: What will you give me that I should deliver Jesus over to you?They settled with him for thirty pieces <strong>of</strong> silver.16 From then on he sought a context for delivering him over.17 On the first day <strong>of</strong> the festival <strong>of</strong> unleavened bread the disciples cameto Jesus saying: Where shall we prepare for you to eat the Passover?18 He said to them: Go into the city to a certain man who will be a volunteerfor the task and say to him: Thus says the teacher, my time is near;with you (I will observe) the Passover with my disciples.20 It came to p~ss at the time <strong>of</strong> evening, he was sitting at table with histwelve disciples.21 As they were eating he said to them: I say to you that one <strong>of</strong> you willinform against me.22 They were very sad and spoke each one to him saying:Lord, is it I?133

Indeed, let it not be as Iwill, but according to your will.40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter: Soyou are unable to watch with me one hour?41 Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation, because truly the spiritis ready to go (to its creator, but) the flesh is weak and sick.42 He went again to pray saying: If you are not able to remove this cupexcept I should drink it, let it be done according to your will.43 Afterwards he returned and found them sleeping because their eyes wereheavy.44 He left them and went to pray a third time according to the first words.4S Then Jesus came to where the disciples were and said to them: Sleep andbe at rest; behold the time has come near when the Son <strong>of</strong> Man will bedelivered into the hand <strong>of</strong> sinners.46 Arise, let us go, for behold he who will betray him is near.47 While he was speaking, behold Judas Iscariot, one <strong>of</strong> his twelvedisciples, came. With him was a large crowd with swords and whipssent from the chief priests and the princes <strong>of</strong> the people.48 He who betrayed him had given them a sign: (The man) whom I kiss isthe one whom you are to arrest. .49 Immediately he drew near to Jesus and said to him: Greetings Rabbi;then he kissed him.so Jesus said to him: My friend, what have you done? ·They came,stretched out their hand against him, and arrested him.SI Behold, one who was with Jesus stretched out his hand,drew his sword, struck one <strong>of</strong> the servants <strong>of</strong> the priests,and cut <strong>of</strong>f his ear.137

Because thus it is intended tobe done.S5 Afterwards Jesus said to the crowd: As if we were thieves have youcome to take me with swords and whips? Was I not with you every dayin the temple teaching you without you hindering me?56 Surely all this was done because the writings <strong>of</strong> the Prophets werebeing fulfilled. Then all his disciples left him and fled.57 They led Jesus to the house <strong>of</strong> Caiaphas the high priest. Then all thescribes and Pharisees were gathered together.58 Peter was following him at a distance unto the house <strong>of</strong> the high priest.He entered the house and sat near the craftsmen until he should see theend.59 The chief priests and the Pharisees wished (to find) false witnessesagainst Jesus in order to put him to death.60 But they did not find even one, though they provided many false witnessesagainst Jesus. Finally two false witnesses came forward.61 (They said): This one said I have the power to destroy the temple <strong>of</strong>God and after three days to repair it. .62 The high priest arose and said to him: Do you not answer anythingagainst the testimony that these are bearing against you?63 But Jesus answered not a word. The high priest said to him: I adjureyou <strong>by</strong> the living God that you tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son <strong>of</strong>God.64 Jesus answered him: You say it; but again I say to you, you have yet tosee the Son <strong>of</strong> God sitting at the right <strong>of</strong> the power <strong>of</strong> God coming onthe clouds <strong>of</strong> heaven.65 Then the high priest tore his garments and said: This one has cursedGod. What need do we have for other witnesses? Behold all <strong>of</strong> youhave heard how he cursed God.66 What do you think can be done? They answered: He is guilty <strong>of</strong> death.139

Then he went outside andwept with bitterness <strong>of</strong> soul.Chapter 27I It came to pass in the morning all the chief sages and elders took counselagainst Jesus that they should surely put him to death.2 They led him bound to the house <strong>of</strong> Pontius Pilate who was commander.3 When Judas Iscariot saw that he had been judged, he began to turn inrepentance. He returned the thirty dinars to the high priest and to the elders<strong>of</strong> the people.4 He said: I have sinned because I have shed innocent blood. But theysaid to him: What is that to us? You see to it.SHe threw the coins in the temple, went and took a rope and hangedhimself.6 When the chief priests received the coins they said: It is not possiblefor us to place these coins in the temple because they are the fruit <strong>of</strong>blood since they were given for the blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus.7 So they took counsel and gave them for a field <strong>of</strong> a certain potter <strong>of</strong> claythat they might (bury) strangers there.8 Therefore that field is called the tent <strong>of</strong> blood unto this day.141

If he is the king <strong>of</strong> Israel lethim come down from the tree and we will believe.43 Since he trusted in God, let him save him now if he' wishes, because hesaid he is the Son <strong>of</strong> God.44 The thieves who were hung with him said to him these very samewords.45 At the sixth hour, darkness came in all the world and it remained untilthe ninth hour.46 Jesus cried in a loud voice saying, in the holy language: My God, MyGod, why have you forsaken me.47 <strong>One</strong> <strong>of</strong> those standing there said: This one is calling for Elijah.48 Immediately he took spongy-bread, filled it with vinegar and gave it tohim to drink.49 Others were saying: We will see if Elijah will come and deliver him.50 Jesus cried another time in a loud voice and sent his spirit to his father.51 Immediately the curtain <strong>of</strong> the temple was tom into two pieces, from thetop downwards; the earth shook and the rocks were broken.52 The graves were opened and many <strong>of</strong> those asleep in the dust arose.53 They came out <strong>of</strong> their graves and after (this) they entered the holy cityand were revealed to many.54 The captain <strong>of</strong> the hundred and those standing with him watching Jesussaw the earthquake and the things which were done and were very afraidsaying: Truly this was the Son <strong>of</strong> God.55 Many women were standing there at a distance from amongthose who served Jesus from Galilee unto that time.56 A mong them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother <strong>of</strong> James andJoseph, and the mother <strong>of</strong> the sons <strong>of</strong> Zebedee!.57 At evening time, a rich man from Karnasiah came. His name was Josephand he was a disciple <strong>of</strong> Jesus.147

Thenthey gave much money to the horsemen13 and said to them: Say that his disciples came <strong>by</strong> night and stole himwhile you were sleeping.14 If this should come to the ears <strong>of</strong> Pilate we will tell him that he shouldISleave you alone.They took the money and said thus as they instructed them. This is theword [held] in secret among the Jews unto this day.16 After this when his twelve disciples came to Galilee he appeared tothem in the mountain where they had prayed.17 When they saw him they worshipped him, but there were some <strong>of</strong> themwho doubted him.18 Jesus drew near to them and said to them:To me has been given all power in heaven and earth.19 Go20 and (teach) them to carry out all the thingswhich I have commanded you forever.]I"O;")!)') 1;")!)'
