⁴⁰ When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

²⁶ and he saith, `Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, `I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'

¹ And working together also we call upon `you' that ye receive not in vain the grace of God --

² for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now `is' a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' --

¹⁵ and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.

²⁹ and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

⁵ And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, `Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'

⁶ and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

⁷ and having seen `it', they were all murmuring, saying -- `With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

⁸ And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'

⁹ And Jesus said unto him -- `To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

³⁹ and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

³⁸ And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

⁸ O Hope of Israel -- its saviour in time of trouble, Why art Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?

⁴ But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I brought him in unto the house of my mother -- And the chamber of her that conceived me.

¹³ Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she `is' thy life.

²⁰ lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
