1. 0. Greeting

1 [[Matthew 4.10]] Jesus answered and said to him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You 2 shall worship the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. [[Luke 4.13]] And when the 3 devil had completed all his temptations, he departed from him for a season. [[Matthew 4.11]] b And behold, the angels drew near and ministered unto him.

4, 5 [[John 1.35]] And next day John was standing, and two of his disciples; [[John 1.36]] and he saw Jesus as 6 he was walking, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God! [[John 1.37]] And his two disciples heard 7 him saying this, and they followed Jesus. [[John 1.38]] And Jesus turned and saw them coming after him, and said to them, What do you seek? They said to him, Our master, 8 where are you staying? [[John 1.39]] And he said to 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 [[John 1.40]] One of the two which heard from John, and followed Jesus, was Andrew the 10 brother of Simon. [[John 1.41]] a And he saw first Simon his brother, and said to him, We have 11 found the Messiah. [[John 1.42]] a And he brought him unto Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him and said, You are Simon, son of Jonah: you shall be called Cephas.

12 [[John 1.43]] And on the next day Jesus desired to go forth to Galilee, and he found Philip, 13 [Arabic, p. 19] and said to him, Follow me. [[John 1.44]] Now Philip was of Bethsaida, of the city 14 of Andrew and Simon. [[John 1.45]] And Philip found Nathanael, and said to 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. [[John 1.46]] Nathanael said to him, Is it possible that there can be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and 16 see. [[John 1.47]] And Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, This is indeed a 17 son of Israel in whom is no guile. [[John 1.48]] And Nathanael said to him, Whence do you know me? Jesus said to him, Before Philip called you, while you were under the 18 fig tree, I saw you. [[John 1.49]] Nathanael answered and said to him, My Master, you are 19 the Son of God; you are the King of Israel. [[John 1.50]] Jesus said to him, Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, have you believed? You shall see what is 20 greater than this. [[John 1.51]] And he said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Henceforth you shall see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

21 [[Luke 4.14]] a And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee.

22 [[John 2.1]] And on the third day there was a feast in Cana, a city of Galilee; and the 23 mother of Jesus was there: [[John 2.2]] and Jesus also and his disciples were invited to the 24 feast. [[John 2.3]] And they lacked wine: and his mother said to Jesus, They have no wine. 25 [[John 2.4]] And Jesus said to her, What have I to do with you, woman? Has not mine 26 hour come? [[John 2.5]] And his mother
