Now when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! there came magians from the East to Jerusalem,

saying, Where is the king of the Jews that hath been born? for we saw his star in the East, and came to do him homage.

And having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deceived by the magians, was greatly enraged; and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the magians.

Now when Jesus heard that John had been cast into prison, he withdrew into Galilee.

But when the crowd had been put out, he went in, and took hold of her hand; and the girl arose.

Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? Thou shalt be brought down to the underworld; for if the miracles which were done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

He answered and said, Because to you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it hath not been given.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell what hath been seen to no one, until the Son of man hath risen from the dead.

Then his fellowservants, seeing what was done, were greatly grieved; and went and told their lord all that had been done.

He saith to them, Ye will indeed drink my cup; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but it will be given to those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father.

Jesus answering said to them, Truly do I say to you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what hath been done to the figtree, but should ye even say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done.

and sent forth his servants to call to the feast those who had been invited; and they would not come.

Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.

and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor shall ever be.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.

His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant! thou hast been faithful over a little, I will place thee in charge of much; enter into the joy of thy lord.

For this might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

The Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it for that man if he had not been born.

But all this hath been done, that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Wherefore that field hath been called, The Field of Blood, unto this day.

So they took the money, and did as they were taught. And this story hath been commonly reported among the Jews to this day.
