This is the book of the generations of Jesus Christ: the son of David, the son also of Abraham.

Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born that Jesus, that is called Christ.

The birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came to dwell together, she was found with child by the holy ghost.

She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son: and called his name Jesus.

When Jesus was born at Bethlehem in Jewry in the time of Herod the king, Behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem,

Then came Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptised of him.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he suffered him.

And Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, came straight out of the water: And, lo, heaven was opened over him, and John saw the spirit of God descend, like a dove, and light upon him:

Then was Jesus led away of the spirit into wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

And Jesus said to him, "It is written also, 'Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God.'"

Then said Jesus unto him, "Depart, Satan: For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'"

When Jesus had heard that John was taken, he departed into Galilee;

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healed all manner of sickness and all manner diseases among the people.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

And Jesus put forth his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be thou clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus said unto him, "See thou tell no man; but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, to be offered in witness to them."

When Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a certain Centurion, and besought him,

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

When Jesus heard that, he marveled, and said to them that followed him, "Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith: no, not in Israel.

Then Jesus said unto the Centurion, "Go thy way; and as thou believest, so be it unto thee." And his servant was healed the selfsame hour.

And then Jesus went to Peter's house, and saw his wife's mother lying, sick of a fever.

When Jesus saw much people about him, he commanded to go over the water.

And Jesus said unto him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the son of the man hath not whereon to rest his head."

But Jesus said unto him, "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."

And, behold, they cried out, saying, "O Jesus, the son of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time be come?"

And, behold, all the city came out, and met Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart out of their coasts.

And, lo, they brought unto him a man sick of the palsy, lying in his bed: and when Jesus saw the faith of them, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

And as Jesus passed forth from thence he saw a man sit at the receipt of custom, named Matthew: and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down also with Jesus, and his disciples.

When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole need not the physician, but they that are sick.

And Jesus said unto them, "Can the wedding children mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

And Jesus arose and followed him, with his disciples.

Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her, saying, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe." And she was made whole even that same hour.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people raging,

And as Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him crying, and saying, "O thou son of David, have mercy on us."

And when he was come into the home, the blind came to him: and Jesus said unto them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" And they said unto him, "Yea, Lord."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

And Jesus went about all cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing all manner sickness and disease among the people.

These twelve did Jesus send, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the ways that lead to the Gentiles, and in to the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not:

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, to teach and preach in their cities.

Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John what ye have heard and seen:

And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind?

At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I praise thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes,

In that time went Jesus, on the Sabbath day, through the corn; and his disciples were a hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

When Jesus knew that, he departed thence. And much people followed him, and he healed them all;

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, "Every kingdom divided within itself shall be brought to nought. Neither shall any city or household divided against itself, continue.

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

All these things spake Jesus unto the people by similitudes, and with out similitudes spake he nothing to them,

Then sent Jesus the people away, and came to house. And his disciples came unto him, saying, "Declare unto us the similitude of the tares in the field."

Jesus said unto them, "Understand ye all these things?" They said, "Yea, Lord."

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these similitudes, that he departed thence,

And they were offended by him. Then Jesus said unto them, "A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and among his own kin."

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

And his disciples came, and took up his body, and buried it: And went and told Jesus.

When Jesus had heard that, he departed thence by ship into a desert place out of the way. And when the people had heard thereof, they followed him afoot out of their cities.

And Jesus went forth and saw much people: and his heart did melt upon them, and he healed of them those that were sick.

But Jesus said unto them, "They have no need to go away: Give ye them to eat."

And straightway Jesus made his disciples enter into a ship, and to go over before him, while he sent the people away.

In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came unto them, walking on the sea:

And straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."

And he said, "Come." And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O thou of little faith: wherefore didst thou doubt?"

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

Then said Jesus, "Are ye yet without an understanding?

And Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, "O woman great is thy faith, be it to thee, even as thou desirest." And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

Then Jesus went away from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and went up in to a mountain, and sat down there.

And much people came unto him, having with them halt, blind, dumb, maimed, and other many: and cast them down at Jesus' feet. And he healed them,

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nought to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting lest they perish in the way."

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

Then Jesus said unto them, "Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees."

When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "O ye of little faith, why are your minds cumbered because ye have brought no bread?

When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?"

And Jesus answered, and said to him, "Happy art thou, Simon the son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not opened unto thee that, but my father which is in heaven.

Then he charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus Christ.

From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the high priests, and of the scribes; and must be killed, and rise again the third day.

Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain out of the way,

Then answered Peter, and said to Jesus, "Master here is good being for us. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

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

Then lift they up their eyes, and when they looked up, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, "See that ye tell the vision to no man, till the son of man be risen again from death."

Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Elijah shall first come, and restore all things.

Jesus answered and said, "O generation faithless, and crooked: how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to me."

And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he came out of him: and the child was healed even that same hour.

Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said, "Why could not we cast him out?"

Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief. For I say verily unto you, if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye should say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and he should remove: Neither should any thing be impossible for you to do.

As they passed the time in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, "The son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men,

He said, "Yea." And when he was come into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, "What thinkest thou Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute, or poll money? Of their children, or of strangers?"

Peter said unto him, "Of strangers." Then said Jesus unto him again, "Then are the children free.

The same time the disciples came to Jesus saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

Jesus called a child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

Jesus said unto him, "I say not unto thee seven times: but seventy times seven times.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished those sayings, he got him from Galilee, and came in to the coasts of Jewry beyond Jordan;

But Jesus said unto them, "Suffer the children, and forbid them not to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

The other said, "Which?" And Jesus said, "Thou shalt not kill: thou shalt not break wedlock. Thou shall not steal: thou shalt not bear false witness.
