11:20-24

... More tolerable for Sodom

11:20 Then he began to reproach the cities in which happened the very many powerful deeds of him, because they repented not: 21 Woe to thee Chorazin: woe to thee, Bethsaida; because if in Tyre and Sidon happened the powerful deeds having happened in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they would have repented. 22 However I tell you, for Tyre and for Sidon and more tolerable it

will be in the day of judgement than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, not as far as heaven wast thou exalted? as far as hadest thou shalt descend; because if in Sodom happened the powerful deeds having happened in thee it would have remained until today. 24 However I tell you that for the land of Sodom more tolerable it will be in the day of judgment than for thee.

anyone fully knows except the Son and he to whom it will the Son to reveal. 28 Come unto me all the ones labouring and having been burdened, and I will rest you. 29 Take the yoke of me on you and learn from me, because meek I am and lowly in heart and ye will find rest to the souls of you: 30 for the yoke of me gentle and the burden of me light is.

12:1-21

Nations will hope (c/f cornfields)

12:1 At that time went the Jesus on the Sabbath through the cornfields; and the disciples of him hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn and to eat. 2 But the Pharisees seeing said to him: Behold the disciples of thee are going what not it is lawful to do on a Sabbath. 3 And he said to them: Did ye not read what did David, when he hungered and the ones with him? 4 how he entered into the house of God and the loaves of the setting forth ate, which not lawful it was for him to eat neither the ones with him, except for the

priests only? 5 or did ye not read in the law that on the Sabbath's the priests in the temple the Sabbath profane and guiltless are? 6 And I tell you that the temple a greater thing is here. 7 But if ye had known what it is: Mercy I desire and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For Lord is the Sabbath the Son of man. 9 (Note: 2nd half re Sabbath issue) And (then) removing thence he came into synagogue of them 10 And behold a man his hand having withered; and they questioned him Continued over

Continued saying: If it is lawful on the Sabbath to heal? in order that they might accuse him. 12:11 So he said to them: What will there be of you man who will have sheep one, and if fall in this on the Sabbath into a ditch, will he not lay hold if and raise? 12 By how much then surpasses a man a sheep. so that it is lawful on the Sabbath well to do 13 Then he says to the man; Stretch forth of thee the hand. And he stretched forth and it was restored health as the other. 14 and going out the Pharisees counsel too against him so as him they might destroy. 15 But Jesus knowing departed thence. And followed him many, and he healed

them all, 16 and warned them that not manifest him they should make; 17 that might be fulfilled the thing spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying: 18 Behold the servant of me whom I chose the beloved of me with whom was well pleased the soul of me; I will put the spirit of me on him, and judgment to the nations he will announce. 19 He will not strive nor will shout, nor will hear anyone in the streets the voice of him. 20 A reed having been bruised he will not break and flax smoking not he will quench, until he put forth to victory the judgment. 21 And in the name of him nations will hope.
