In the days when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest whose name was Zechariah, who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was also a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

Once when he was acting as priest before God, when his division was on duty, it fell to his lot,

According to the custom of the priests' office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

And the entire congregation of people was praying outside at the time when the incense was burned.

when there appear'd to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the incense-altar.

And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.

And you will have joy and happiness and many people will rejoice when he is born.

Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.

And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and began to wonder [when] he was delayed in the temple.

And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

And when the days of his work in the Temple were ended, he went back to his house.

"This wise hath God dealt with me, in the days when he looked on me, to take from me the rebuke that I suffered among men."

And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;

When she saw him, she was abashed at his saying: and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be.

when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.

Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, when I have no husband?"

And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,

For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.

When Elizabeth had gone her full time, she was delivered of a son.

When her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had extended great mercy toward her [i.e., in giving her a child], they rejoiced with her.

When they came to circumcise the child on the eighth day, they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.

when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."

And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.

This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

when all of a sudden an angel of the Lord appear'd to them, and a heavenly light shone about them, at which they were greatly affrighted.

And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.

And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.

And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth.

And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord

And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast;

And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:

and [when they] did not find [him], they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.

But they did not understand what He meant when He said that to them.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, [when] Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

And when some soldiers on active service asked "And we--what are we to do?" he said: "Never use violence, or exact anything by false accusation; and be content with your pay."

Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah,

Then Herod the Tetrarch; when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;

Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,

And Jesus, [when he] began [his ministry], was himself about thirty years [old], being the son (as it was believed) of Joseph the [son] of Eli,

For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read,

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place, where it was written,

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

And having rolled up the book, when he had delivered it up to the attendant, he sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed upon him.

Truly I say to you, There were a number of widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months and there was no food in the land;

And all who were in the Synagogue were very angry when these things were said to them.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt.

When Jesus came out of the synagogue, he went to Simon's house, whose mother-in-law was seized with a violent fever, and they desired him to relieve her.

And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them.

And when the people were pressing on Him to hear the word of God, as He stood by the lake of Gennesareth, seeing two vessels at the edge of the lake,

And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;

So, they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. When they came, they filled both boats until they began to sink.

But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.

And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

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.

And [when they] did not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof [and] let him down through the roof tiles with the stretcher into the midst [of them], in front of Jesus.

And [when he] saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."

When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered and said unto them, "What think ye in your hearts?

And Jesus said, Are you able to make the friends of the newly-married man go without food when he is with them?

But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.

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

And it happened on another Sabbath day, when Jesus entered the synagogue to teach, that a man was there whose right hand was deformed.

Then He looked around at all of them [there] and said to the man, "Reach out your hand." And [when] he did this, his hand was restored [to normal use].

And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:

Those of you who now have an appetite [i.e., for doing what is right] are blessed, because you will be satisfied [eventually]. Those of you who cry now [i.e., over your sins] are blessed, because you will laugh [i.e., when you are forgiven later].

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company , and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Be glad when that happens, and leap for joy, for you will be richly rewarded in heaven, for that is the way their forefathers treated the prophets.

Woe unto you , when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets.

Whoever hits you on one side of the face, allow him [to hit you on] the other side also; and when someone takes away your coat, do not stop him from also taking away your shirt [i.e., if he insists on it].

Give to every one who asks of you; and, when any one takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”

The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.

Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.

But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.

And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:

And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

for John the Baptist, when he came, abstain'd from bread and wine; yet you say, he is possess'd with a demon.

And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,

Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

"You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.
