Fifth Attempt:
Title: Τὸ Θαῦμα τοῦ θαλάσσιου ἀνέμου

Text: Καὶ γίνεται ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις, ὁ Ἰησοῦς συναγάγων τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, λέγει αὐτοῖς, "Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν."

Καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν ὄχλον, παραλαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, καὶ ἄλλα πλοῖα ἦν μετ' αὐτοῦ. Καὶ γίνεται λαῖλαψ μεγάλη ἀνέμου, καὶ τὰ κύματα ἐπέβαλλεν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ὥστε ἤδη γεμίζεσθαι τὸ πλοῖον.

ὁ δὲ ἐκεῖνος καθεύδων ἐπὶ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον, καίειν ἀφῆκε τὴν λέκανον. καὶ προσελθόντες αὐτῷ, λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, "Διδάσκαλε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἀπολλύμεθα;"

καὶ διεγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, "Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο." καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος, καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, "Τί δειλοί ἐστε; οὔπω ἔχετε πίστιν;" καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτούς, "Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἄνεμος καὶ ἡ θάλασσα αὐτῷ ὑπακούει;"

Title: The Marvel of the Sea Wind

Text: And it happened in those days, Jesus, gathering his disciples into the boat, said to them, "Let us go to the other side."

Leaving the crowd, they took him as he was in the boat, and other boats were with him. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now filling.

But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"

And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Sixth Attempt:

Try to make a wholly original fucking pericope in the style of St Mark. Not just another version of an existing parable. New events. New words. New ideas.

ChatGPT

Title: Η παραβολή του αγρού του αποκρυφιστικού φωτός

Text: Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις, ὁ Ἰησοῦς περιεπάτει ἀνὰ τὰς ὁρθές τῆς πόλεως, καὶ εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον πωλοῦντας στολὴν λαμπρὰν, πορφυροῦντα καὶ χρυσοῦντα, πρὸς τοὺς ἐλευθέρους.

Καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, "Ἰδοὺ, περιπατοῦμεν ἅμα εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ. Πώλησον τὰ πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις καὶ ἀκολούθησον μοι."

ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἀπεστράφη, λυπούμενος περὶ τῶν πλούτων αὐτοῦ, ἀπῆλθεν. Καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπιστρέψας εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, "Πῶς δύσκολον εἰσελεύσεται ὁ πλούσιος εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ."

Καὶ περιπατοῦντες ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ἰδοὺ προσήλθον παιδία, ἐνέφυσαν τὰ κέρατα καὶ ἠγκάλισαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν. Καὶ ὁ διάκονος αὐτῶν ἐκώλυσεν αὐτούς. Ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἠγανάκτησεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, "Σταθεῖτε, ἐὰν τὰ παιδία προσέρχονται πρός με, μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῆς γὰρ τοιαύτης ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ."

Καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος τῶν παιδίων, ἀγαπήσας αὐτὰ ἀφῆκεν αὐτά πρὸς τὸν ἀέρα, λέγων, "Εἴ τις θέλει εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ, γενήσεται ὡς τὰ παιδία ταῦτα, πραΰς καὶ ἀπλοῦς τῇ καρδίᾳ."


Title: The Parable of the Secretive Light Field

Text: And it came to pass in those days, Jesus was walking along the streets of the city, and he saw a man selling bright garments, adorned with purple and gold, to the free citizens.

Approaching him, Jesus said, "Behold, let us journey together to the kingdom of God. Sell all that you have and follow me."

But the man turned away, sorrowful about his wealth, and departed. And Jesus, turning to his disciples, said, "How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God."

As they walked along the way, behold, children approached, blowing horns and embracing Jesus. Their attendant rebuked them. Seeing this, Jesus was indignant and said to them, "Let them stand. If children come to me, do not hinder them, for such is the kingdom of God."

And taking the children, embracing them, he let them go into the air, saying, "If anyone wants to enter the kingdom of God, let them become like these children, gentle and simple in heart."

Seventh Attempt: Try again you fucking idiot. Something new not just a retreading of the same shit.

I apologize if my previous attempts did not meet your expectations. Here's a completely new pericope:

Title: Η Αινιγματική Συνάντηση του Φωτεινού Τεχνίτη

Text: Καὶ ἐγένετο, ἐν μια τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων, ὅταν ὁ Ἰησοῦς περιείδετο τὰς τέχνας ἐν μια πόλει τῆς τέχνης. Καὶ εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον σοφὸν καὶ τέχνιτην, καλλιεργοῦντα τὰς φωτεινὰς ἀνθισμένας, οἷας οὐδεὶς εἶχεν ἰδεῖν πρὶν.

Καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, "Σοφὲ τέχνιτα, ἀνοίξον μοι τὰ μυστικὰ τῶν φωτεινῶν σου ἔργων καὶ δεῖξον μοι τὴν σοφίαν σου."

ὁ δὲ τέχνιτης ἐκοίταξε τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἶπεν, "Τί θέλεις σὺ, ὁ μὴ τέχνιτης, γνῶναι τὰ μυστικὰ τῆς τέχνης μου;"

Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς, "Οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κόσμου βλέπουσιν τὰ φωτεινὰ, ἡ δὲ καρδία σου πῶς θέλει συνῆναι τὴν σοφίαν; Ανοῖξον τὴν καρδίαν σου, ὅπως ἡ σοφία μου φανερωθεί ἐν σοί."

Καὶ ὁ τέχνιτης, ἀκούσας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ἠνοίγη καρδίαν καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν μυστικὴν τοῦ φωτεινοῦ τέχνης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο φῶς ἐν τῇ πόλει τῆς τέχνης.

Title: The Enigmatic Encounter of the Radiant Artisan

Text: And it came to pass, in one of those days, when Jesus wandered through the streets of the city, he observed the arts in a town of craftsmen. He saw a wise and skillful artisan cultivating luminous blossoms, unlike any seen before.

Approaching, Jesus said to him, "Wise artisan, reveal to me the mysteries of your luminous works and show me your wisdom."

The artisan looked at Jesus and said, "What do you, a non-artisan, want to know the mysteries of my craft?"

Jesus replied, "The eyes of the world see the luminous, but how will your heart comprehend the wisdom? Open your heart, so that my wisdom may be revealed in you."

The artisan, hearing the words of Jesus, opened his heart and led him into the secrets of his radiant craft, and light came to the city of craftsmanship.

Eighth attempt:

Title: ὁ θυσιαστὴς τῆς συνάγωγης

Καὶ ἦν τοῖς καιροῖς ἐκείνοις, ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς συναγωγὴν μικρὰν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς εἷς ἐστραγγισμένος ἐν πενίῃ. Καὶ ὡς εἰσῆλθεν, εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, "Τίς σε προσήγαγεν ὧδε;"

ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἀνέβη τὰ ὄρη ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα καὶ εἶπεν, "Κύριε, οἱ πτωχοὶ πολλοὶ ὑπάρχουσιν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ μας, καὶ τὸν ἐσχατογεννηθέντα υἱόν μου δαιμονίζεται. Ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν, οὐδεὶς δύναται ἰάσασθαι αὐτόν."

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς συνήδει τῇ προσευχῇ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀναστὰς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, "Ἀκολούθει μοι." Καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἅμα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισαν τῷ οἴκῳ, ἰδοὺ οἱ πτωχοὶ πλήθουσιν ἐκάστη πύλη, περιμένοντες τοῦ Ἰησοῦ. Καὶ ὁ δαίμων ἐξελθὼν ἀπὸ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκραύγασεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ τὰ πτωχὰ πάντα ἐπλήσσοντο φόβῳ.

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ δαιμονιζομένῳ πνεῦματι, "Ἐξέλθε, σύργιζε, καὶ μὴ προσθῇς αὐτῷ οὐδὲν." καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ἐξῆλθε, σύργισεν τὸν δαίμονα ἀπὸ τοῦ υἱοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς νεκρὸς.

καὶ θαυμάσαντες πάντες οἱ περίεστώτες εἶπαν, "Τίς οὗτός ἐστιν, ὁ καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασιν ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;" καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ φῦλος το

Title: The Healer of the Synagogue

And it was in those times, Jesus entered a small synagogue, and behold, there was a man from the synagogue, drained in poverty. As he entered, Jesus said to him, "Who brought you here?"

The man went up the hills on his knees and said, "Lord, many poor ones are in our synagogue, and my only-born son is possessed by a demon. Yet, coming into the synagogue, no one can heal him."

Jesus, moved by the man's prayer, stood up and said to him, "Follow me." And they went together to his house.

As they approached the house, behold, the poor gathered at every gate, waiting for Jesus. The demon, coming out from the man's son, cried out loudly, and all the poor ones were struck with fear.

Jesus entered the house and said to the possessed by the spirit, "Come out, be silent, and do not harm him anymore." And the spirit came out, dragging the demon from the son, and he became like one dead.

All who were standing there marveled and said, "Who is this, that even commands the spirits, and they obey him?" And the news spread throughout the region.

Write a new ending for the gospel of Mark:


Title: Ἡ Ἀνάσταση καὶ ἡ ἀποστολὴ τῶν Μαθητῶν

Καὶ ταχὺ πορευθεὶς Ἰησοῦς σὺν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, ἔσται δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ, ὅπου ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς.

Καὶ ἐλθὼν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπερωτᾷ αὐτοὺς, "Πορευθέντες εἰς τὸν κόσμον πᾶν, κηρύξατε τὸ εὐαγγέλιον πᾶσῃ τῇ κτίσει. ὁ πιστεύσας καὶ βαπτισθεὶς σωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ἀπιστήσας κατακριθήσεται."

Καὶ Ἰησοῦς ἐπεκύλισεν τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, καθήμενος ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐκήρυξαν πανταχοῦ, ὁ κύριος συνεργοῦντος καὶ τὸν λόγον βεβαιοῦντος διὰ τῶν ἐπακολουθούντων σημείων.

Ἀμήν.

Title: The Resurrection and the Commission of the Disciples

And swiftly, Jesus, along with his disciples, went to Galilee, to a high mountain where he taught them.

Approaching them, Jesus asks them, "Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned."

And Jesus ascended to the heavens, seated at the right hand of the Father. The disciples went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through accompanying signs.

Amen.

Write another new ending for Mark:

Title: Ἡ ἀνακάλυψη τοῦ Νέου Πορείας

Καὶ Ἰησοῦς, συναθροίζων τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, ἐξέπεμψεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἀπόκρυφον γῆν, ὅπου ἐπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς μυστικὴν σκηνήν.

Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, "Ἰδοὺ, ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ παλινγενεσίας ἐγγὺς ἐστίν. Καταφέρετε τὴν σπεῖραν τοῦ νέου σπορίματος καὶ ἐκφέρετε τὸν καρπὸν τοῦ μυστικοῦ κῆπου."

Καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἐν ᾗ ἐξεφύτευσαν τὸν σπόρον τοῦ φωτεινοῦ λουτροῦ. Καὶ ἐξανέτειλεν νέους βλαστούς, οἷοι ἦσαν ὡς φωσφορικὰ φύτα πλέον τῆς γῆς.

Καὶ ὡς ἀναβαινόντες ἐκ τῆς γῆς, εἶδον τὸν Ἰησοῦν, ἐνδεδυμένον ἀστραπτούμενον ὡς ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ ἠγκάλισαν αὐτόν. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, "Ὁ κύκλος τῆς ζωῆς οὐ τελευτᾷ, ἀλλὰ ἡ πορεία τοῦ φωτός ἀεὶ ἔχει σταθμούς καινοὺς."

Καὶ ἀναβαίνοντες μετὰ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, κηρύσσοντες τὸν νέον λόγον τῆς πορείας τοῦ φωτός ἐν πάσῃ κτίσει.

Ἀμήν.

Title: The Discovery of the New Path

And Jesus, gathering his disciples, sent them into the hidden land, where he led them to a secret tent.

He said to them, "Behold, the time of regeneration is near. Carry the seed of the new planting and bring forth the fruit of the mystical garden."

The disciples entered the land, where they planted the seed of the luminous fountain. And it sprouted new shoots, shining like phosphorescent plants beyond the earth.

As they ascended from the land, they saw Jesus, clothed in radiance like the sun, and they embraced him. He said to them, "The circle of life does not end, but the journey of light always has new stations."

Ascending with Jesus into the heavens, the disciples returned to the earth, proclaiming the new word of the journey of light in all creation.

Amen.
