1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John,

2Who has given teaching to the word of God, and the teaching of Jesus Christ, what things soever he has seen.

3Blessed is he, that readeth and hears the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.

4John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be to you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,

2:1To the angel of the church of Ephesus write: These things says he, who holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:

2I know your works, and your work, and your patience, and how you canst not bear them that are evil, and you have tried them, who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:

3And you have patience, and have endured for my name, and have not fainted.

4But I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first charity.

5Be mindful therefore from whence you are fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to you, and will move your candlestick out of its place, except you do penance.

1:1Blessed is the man who has not walked in the guidance of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whoever he shall do shall prosper.

4Not so the evil, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

6For the Lord knows the way of the righteous: and the way of the evil shall perish.

18:35Now it happened, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.

36And when he heard the crowd passing by, he asked what this meant.

37And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

38And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.

39And those who went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

40And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought to him. And when he was come near, he asked him,

41Saying: What will you that I do to you? But he said: Lord, that I may see.

42And Jesus said to him: Receive your sight: your faith has made you whole.

43And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
