There was in the time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and he will not drink any wine or intoxicating drinks [Note: This restriction suggests that John may have taken the special vow of consecration making him a "Nazarite"]. And he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the time he is born.

And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

And the people were waiting for Zacharias and were surprised because he was in the Temple for such a long time.

And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.

When his time of priestly service was finished, he returned to his home.

and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.

"This is what the Lord has done for me at the time when he has been gracious to me, to take away my disgrace among people."

Now at this time Mary arose and hurried to the hill country, to a city of Judah (Judea),

Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,

So, Mary stayed with [her relative] Elizabeth for about three months [i.e., until about the time John was born. See 1:26-31], and then returned to her home.

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

And everyone who heard about this incident remembered it [i.e., for some time]. They were saying, "What will this child become? For the hand of the Lord was [surely] with him."

As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets--

And the child grew and became strong in character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.

Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.

[He went] to register, along with Mary, who was engaged to him and who was pregnant [at the time].

While they were there [in Bethlehem], the time came for her to give birth,

When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.

And when the time for their purification came [that is, the mother’s purification and the baby’s dedication] according to the Law of Moses, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord [set apart as the Firstborn]

There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of the Consolation of Israel, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.

And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,

and stayed the usual time. When they returned, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were not aware of it.

in the mean time Jesus increas'd in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,

And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, all the time tempted by the devil.

where he was being tempted by the Devil for 40 days. During that time he ate nothing at all, and when they were over he became hungry.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

to proclaim the year of the Lord's acceptance [i.e., the time when people would become His obedient followers]."

But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

but Jesus rebuk'd him, saying, be dumb, and come out of him. upon which the demon threw him down in the midst of the assembly, and came out, without doing him any harm.

And for some time He preached in the synagogues in Galilee.

And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean."

in the mean time his fame spread so much the more, and a vast multitude flock'd to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases,

At another time, as he was teaching, it happened that some Pharisees, and doctors of the law were sitting by, who came from the several towns of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem: when the power of the Lord appear'd in their relief.

But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast."

One time Jesus was walking through some grain fields on a Sabbath. His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.

About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.

Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for their fathers used to treat the prophets in the same way.

So Jesus went with them. Now by this time he was not far away from the house, [and] the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof.

and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.

And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.

At that time Jesus healed many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and He granted sight to many blind people.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: "Let us go across the lake."

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

For already He had been commanding the foul spirit to come out of the man. For many a time it had seized and held him, and they had repeatedly put him in chains and fetters and kept guard over him, but he used to break the chains to pieces, and, impelled by the demon, to escape into the Desert.

Now a man named Jairus, a synagogue official, came [to Him]; and he fell at Jesus’ feet and began begging Him to come to his house;

When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found there alone. And they kept silent, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen [concerning the divine manifestation].

"Let these sayings sink down into your ears. The time will come, when the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men."

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

At another time, as they were walking in the road, a man said to him, I will be your follower, wherever you go.

And you should remain in that same house [i.e., the peace-loving one], eating and drinking whatever they serve you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move from house to house [i.e., wasting time].

I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on 'That Day' than the doom of that town.

Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the Judgment than yours.

At [that] same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these [things] from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.

Another time, as they were on a journey, Jesus enter'd into a village, where a woman, named Martha, entertain'd him at her house.

And suppose he answers from the inside, 'Don't bother me; the door is locked by this time, and my children are in bed with me. I can't get up and give you anything.'

And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

because at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you are to say."

And which of you by worrying can add one hour to his life’s span?

if then you can't effect so small a matter, why are you disquieted about a much longer time?

Sell your possessions and give [the money] to poor people; provide yourselves with money belts that do not wear out [i.e., from the constant use of carrying much money all the time, instead of investing it in others' needs]. [Then you will possess] an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief can approach, nor moth destroy.

“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time the thief was coming, he [would have been awake and alert, and] would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward [of the estate], whom his master will put in charge over his household, to give his servants their portion of food at the proper time?

But if that slave should say {to himself}, 'My master is taking a long time to return,' and he begins to beat the male slaves and the female slaves and to eat and drink and get drunk,

The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

For from this time there will be in one house five persons split into parties. Three will form a party against two and two will form a party against three;

Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices.

So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'

And, he, answering, saith unto him - Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, -

and if it bears fruit, well; but if not, at a future time you shall cut it down.

From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

At that time some Pharisees came and told Him, “Go, get out of here! Herod wants to kill You!”

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest at some time a more honorable man than you should have been invited by him,

And he said also to him that had invited him, When you make a breakfast, or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also at some time invite you in return, and a compensation be made to you.

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.

In the mean time his elder son was in the country. at his return, when he came near home, he heard the musick and dancing:

And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

But he said to him, 'My child, you have been with me all the time, and everything I have is yours.

But it was [only] proper that we celebrate and have a good time, for this brother of yours was dead [spiritually], but is [now] alive again; he was lost [from me] but [now] is found.'"

And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

No person can serve two masters, for he will either hate the one and love the other, or else he will cling to the one [i.e., as a close friend] and look down on the other. You cannot serve God and material things [at the same time].'"
