Section V.

[1] 302Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:  for it is written, Thou [2] shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.  303And when the [3] devil304 had completed all his temptations, he departed from him for a season.  305And behold, the angels drew near and ministered unto him.

[4, 5] 306And next day John was standing, and two of his disciples; 307and he saw Jesus as [6] he was walking, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God!  308And his two disciples heard [7] him saying this,309 and they followed Jesus.  310And Jesus turned and saw them coming after him, and said unto them, What seek ye?  They said unto him, Our master, [8] where art thou staying?  311And he said unto them, Come and see.  And they came and saw his place, and abode with him that day:  and it was about the tenth hour.  [9] 312One of the two which heard from313 John, and followed Jesus, was Andrew the [10] brother of Simon.  314And he saw first Simon his brother, and said unto him, We have [11] found the Messiah.  315And he brought him unto Jesus.  And Jesus looked upon him and said, Thou art Simon, son of Jonah:  thou shalt be called Cephas.316

[12] 317And on the next day Jesus desired to go forth to Galilee, and he found Philip, [13] [Arabic, p. 19] and said unto him, Follow me.  318Now Philip was of Bethsaida, of the city [14] of Andrew and Simon.  319And Philip found Nathanael, and said unto him, He of whom Moses did write in the law and in the prophets, we have found that [15] he is Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.  320Nathanael said unto him, Is it possible that there can be any good thing from Nazareth?  Philip said unto him, Come and [16] see.  321And Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, This is indeed a322 [17] son of Israel in whom is no guile.  323And Nathanael said unto him, Whence knowest thou me?  Jesus said unto him, Before Philip called thee, while thou wast under the [18] fig tree, I saw thee.  324Nathanael answered and said unto him, My Master, thou art [19] the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.  325Jesus said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, hast thou believed? thou shalt see what is [20] greater than this.  326And he said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

[21] 327And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee.

[22] 328And on the third day there was a feast in Cana,329 a330 city of Galilee; and the [23] mother of Jesus was there:  331and Jesus also and his disciples were invited to the [24] feast.  332And they lacked wine:  and his mother said unto Jesus, They have no wine.  [25] 333And Jesus said unto her, What have I to do with thee, woman? hath not mine [26] hour come?334  335And his mother said unto the servants, What he saith unto you, do.  [27] 336And there were there six vessels of stone, placed for the Jews’ purification, such as [28] [Arabic, p. 20] would contain two or three jars.  337And Jesus said unto them, Fill the vessels [29] with water.  And they filled them to the top.  338He said unto them, Draw [30] out now, and present to the ruler of the feast. And they did so.  339And when the ruler of the company tasted that water which had become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants knew, because they filled up the water), the ruler of the company called [31] the bridegroom, 340and said unto him, Every man presenteth first the good wine, and on intoxication he bringeth what is poor; but thou hast kept the good wine until [32] now.  341And this is the first sign342 which Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested [33] his glory; and his disciples believed on him.  343And his fame spread in all the country [34] which was around them.  344And he taught in their synagogues, and was glorified [35] by345 every man.  346And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood [36] up to read.  347And he was given the book of Isaiah the prophet.  And Jesus opened the book and found the place where it was written,

[37] 348The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

And for this anointed he me, to preach good tidings to the poor;

And he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted,

And to proclaim forgiveness to the evil-doers,349 and sight to the blind,

And to bring the broken into forgiveness,350

[38] 351And to proclaim an acceptable year of the Lord.

[39] 352And he rolled up the book and gave it to the servant, and went and sat down:  [40] and the eyes of all that were in the synagogue were observing him.  353And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled which ye have heard with [41] your ears.  354And they all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which were proceeding from his mouth.

[42] [Arabic, p. 21] 355And from that time began Jesus to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom [43] of God, and to say, Repent ye, and believe in the gospel.  356The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of heaven hath come near.

[44] 357And while he was walking on the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who was called Cephas, and Andrew his brother, casting their nets into [45] the sea; for they were fishers.  358And Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will [46] make you fishers of men.  359And they immediately left their nets there and followed [47] him.  360And when he went on fr
