Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from Holy Spirit.

But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.

But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from Holy Spirit.

Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.

and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.

A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children. And she did not want to be comforted, because they are not.

But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.

But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she was raised up, and served him.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What is with us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? Did thou come here before the time to torment us?

Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.

And he said to them, Go. And having come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of the swine stampeded down the slope into the sea, and perished in the waters.

While he spoke these things to them, behold, one ruler who came worshiped him, saying, My daughter has just now perished, but after coming, lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.

But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

But when the crowd was put out, having entered in, he took her hand, and the little girl arose.

For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

But I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here.

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

For John said to him, It is not permitted for thee to have her.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.

And she, having been put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the immerser.

And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.

And they say to him, We have not here, except five loaves and two fishes.

But he said, Bring them here to me.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples having approached, they besought him, saying, Send her away, because she cries out behind us.

Then Jesus having answered, said to her, O woman, great is thy faith. Be it done for thee as thou desire. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And having answered, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible t

They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her?

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

And having gone out about the eleventh hour, he found others who have stood idle. And he says to them, Why have ye stood here idle the whole day?

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, worshiping, and asking something from him.

And he said to her, What do thou want? She says to him, Speak that these my two sons may sit, one at thy right hand and one at thy left hand in thy kingdom.

And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

In the resurrection therefore, which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not.

But Jesus said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there will be left here, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will not be thrown down.

Then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe ye not.

Truly I say to you, wherever this good-news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told for a memorial of her.

Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit ye here until, after going, I may pray there.

Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are thou here. Then having come, they threw their hands on Jesus, and seized him.

He is not here, for he was raised as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.

And upon coming, having taken hold of her hand, he raised her up and the fever left her. And straightaway she served them.

Now there was near the mountain a great herd of swine feeding.

And straightaway, Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits having come out, entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the sea, and were drowned in the sea. And there were about two thousand.

and besought him much, saying, My little daughter has a terminal condition, so that having come, thou may lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and will live.

and having suffered many things by many physicians, and having spent all of her things, and was helped nothing, but who became worse instead,

And straightaway the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed of her scourge.

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what has happened to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace, and be healthy from thy scourge.

And having taken the child's hand, he says to her, Talitha cumi. Which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to thee, awake.

And he commanded them much that no man should know this. And he said to give her to eat.

Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him.

For Herod himself having sent forth, he arrested John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he married her.

and the daughter of her (of Herodias) having come in and danced, and having pleased Herod and those who sat with the king, he said to the maiden, Ask of me whatever thou may want, and I will give to thee.

And he swore to her, Whatever thou may ask of me, I will give to thee, as much as half of my kingdom.

And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the immerser.

And the king, who became exceeding sorry, did not want to refuse her because of the oaths, and of those dining together.

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the maiden. And the maiden gave it to her mother.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.

And Jesus said to her, Allow the children first be filled, for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the house dogs.

And he said to her, Because of this saying, go thou. The demon has gone out of thy daughter.

And having departed to her house, she found the demon having gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And his disciples answered him, From where will anyone be able to fill these men of loaves here in a desolate place?

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, there are some of those who have stood here, who will, no, not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.

And having responded, Peter says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And we could make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And they said, Moses permitted to write a document of divorce, and to divorce her.

And he says to them, Whoever may divorce his wife, and will marry another, commits adultery against her.

And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.

And if any man should say to you, Why are ye doing this? say ye, The Lord has need of it, and straightaway he sends it here.

And the second took her, and died, neither did he leave seed behind, and the third likewise.

And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

In the resurrection when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife.

For they all cast in from that which is abundant to them, but she from her need cast in all, as many things she had, her whole living.

And then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, do not believe.

For this could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they grumbled at her.

But Jesus said, Leave her be. Why do ye cause troubles for her? She performed a good work on me.

And truly I say to you, wherever this good-news may be preached in the whole world, also what she did will be told for a memorial of her.

And they come to a place the name of which was Gethsemane. And he says to his disciples, Sit ye here until I pray.

And he says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain ye here, and watch.

And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.

And those men, when they heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.

And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.

And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.

And having answered, the agent said to her, Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.

And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.

And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of Holy Spirit,

And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from Lord.

And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
