THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom is born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.

NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, lo! Magians from the East came to Jerusalem,

Then came Jesus from Galilee unto Jordan to John, that he might be baptized by him.

But Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

And Jesus, after his baptism, came straight from the water: and lo! the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as it were a dove, and coming upon him:

THEN was Jesus led away by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration."

But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee;

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching.

And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.

And it was so, that when Jesus had concluded all these sayings, the multitudes were exceedingly struck with his teaching:

And stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And instantly the leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus said to him, See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

Then as Jesus was entering into Capernaum, there met him a centurion, intreating him,

And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.

And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour.

And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law laid on a bed, and in a fever.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to pass to the other side.

And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head.

And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.

And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?

And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.

And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts?

And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And it came to pass, as he sat in his house, many tax-gatherers and sinners came, and sat down at table with Jesus and his disciples.

But Jesus hearing it, said unto them, They who are in the vigour of health have no need of the physician, but they who have illness.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber weep, whilst the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast.

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and his disciples also.

Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour.

And when Jesus was come into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and a multitude confusedly lamenting,

And as Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, son of David!

So when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, Take care that no person know it.

And Jesus took a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease, and every malady among the people.

These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:

AND it came to pass, when Jesus had finished his injunctions to his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see.

And when they were gone, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

At that time Jesus spake and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes:

AT that time Jesus walked through corn-fields on a sabbath-day; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

But Jesus knew it, and retired from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,

But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family, divided against itself cannot subsist:

THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near the sea.

All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:

Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.

Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished there parables, he departed thence.

And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not disrespected, except in his own country, and in his own family.

AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and they came and told Jesus.

And when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a vessel into a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

And when Jesus was come forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and healed their sick.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart: give ye them to eat.

And immediately Jesus compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and pass before him to the other side, while he dismissed the people.

Then at the fourth watch of the night came Jesus unto them, walking on the sea.

And immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, Be of good courage: it is I; be not terrified.

And he said, Come. And descending from the vessel, Peter walked upon the waters to come to Jesus.

Then immediately Jesus stretching out his hand, laid hold on him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, wherefore dost thou doubt?

THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying,

And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence?

And going forth thence, Jesus retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there.

And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all:

Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road.

And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

Then Jesus said to them, Beware and abstain from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not taken bread?

Then Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, questioned his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? The Son of Man?

And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven.

Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Messiah.

From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart.

Then Peter addressing him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not affrighted.

Then lifting up their eyes, they saw no person, but Jesus only.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things.

Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.

Then the disciples of Jesus coming privately, said, Why could not we cast it out?

Then said Jesus unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for you.

And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men:

He saith, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth receive customs and tax? from their own children, or from aliens?

Peter saith to him, From aliens. Jesus saith unto him, In that case then the children are free.

AT that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is indeed the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them,

Jesus saith to him, I tell thee not until seven times, but unto seventy times seven.

AND it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan.

Then said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

He saith unto him, Which? Then said Jesus, these, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
