Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,

Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord *appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”

Now in those days John the Baptist *came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

Now John himself had a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother;

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:

For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.

“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;

Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.

“Now after a long time the master of those slaves *came and *settled accounts with them.

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper,

Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.”

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”

Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

“He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now, if He delights in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
