and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

And Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

But when he thought about these things, suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."

but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'

but I tell you that everyone who puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.

And suddenly they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.

And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the herd of pigs: and suddenly the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.

While he told these things to them, suddenly a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

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

For I came to set a man at odds 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, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her actions."

But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and look, something greater than Jonah is here.

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

For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

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

And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

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

And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."

So he said, "Bring them here to me."

But he did not answer her a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."

Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"

About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?'

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.

He said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Command that these, my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom."

saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

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

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.

But he answered them, "Do you not see all of these things? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."

"Then if any man tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah,' or, 'There,' do not believe it.

Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her."

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

And he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

And he gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

and pleaded with him repeatedly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."

And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

He looked around to see her who had done this thing.

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

And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum." which translated means, "Girl, I tell you, get up."

And he strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.

For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.

And he swore to her, "Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

So she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist."

And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"

He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."

He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

If she herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."

The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

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

for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on."

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."

Then if anyone tells you, 'Look, here is the Messiah.' or, 'Look, there.' do not believe it.

For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor." They grumbled against her.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

Truly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her."

They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch."

He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Look, the place where they put him.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

Having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, you highly favored one. The Lord is with you."

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born will be called the Son of God.

And look, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

And Mary said, "See, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.

It happened, when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."

Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.

Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
