And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

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

And there were in the same country shepherds, lying out in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.

And lo an angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

And when the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is done, which the Lord hath made known to us.

And all that heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

And she coming in at that hour, gave thanks to the Lord, and spake of him to all that were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem.

And all that heard him were astonished, at his understanding and answers.

And seeing him they were amazed. And his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou done thus to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

And as the people were in expectation, and all mused in their hearts of John,

whether he were not the Christ, John answered saying to them all, I indeed baptize you with water, but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

Now while all the people were baptizing, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized,

Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing, and when they were ended he hungered.

And having closed the book, he gave it again to the servant, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

I tell you of a truth, Many widows were in Israel, in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, while a great famine was thro' all the land.

And many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet none of them was healed, but Naaman the Syrian.

And all in the synagogue hearing these things, were filled with fury,

And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What word is this, that with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out!

And saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

which they had taken, And in like manner also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

And on a certain day as he was teaching, there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and out of Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

And they were all amazed and glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read, even this, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the shew-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests only?

And they were filled with madness, and talked one with another, what they should do to Jesus.

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed.

And in that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues, and of evil spirits, and to many that were blind he gave sight.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he said to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?

And afterward he went through every city and village preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they were afraid and wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this? For he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him.

And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake and were choked.

Then they went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear, and he went in the vessel and returned.

And the man out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, Return home,

And when Jesus returned, the people gladly received him; for they were all waiting for him.

And behold two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

But Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep; and awaking they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And just as they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents, ane for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he said.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they all wondered at all things which Jesus did,

Woe to you, lawyers; for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves; and them that were entering in, ye have hindered.

And what do I desire? That it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with: and how am I straitned till it be accomplished!

And there were present at that season, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said to them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things;

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And he spake a parable to them that were invited, when he marked how they chose the chief seats,

And he sent his servants at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste of my supper.

And the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard these things, and they derided him.

The law and the Prophets were until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man forceth into it.

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed?

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

And he spake this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others.

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

When they who were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who were come to him, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs?

And when they were come to the place, called the place of a scull, there they crucified him, and the two malefactors, one on the right-hand, and one on the left.

And one of the malefactors, who were hanging on the cross, reviled him, saying, If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.

And all the people who had come together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, returned, smiting their breasts.

And while they were perplexed concerning it,

Yea, and certain women of our company astonished us, who were early at the sepulchre,

And some of the men who were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said; but him they saw not.

And they drew nigh the village whither they were going, and he made as tho' he would go farther.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him, and he vanished out of their sight.
