Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

When Josnt woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife,

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Josnt in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."

When he rose, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt,

saying, "Rise, take the young child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."

And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.

Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

"Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases."

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"he then said to the paralytic"Rise, take up your bed and go home."

For she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well."

Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that moment.

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,

and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

And when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Another parable he put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour till it was all leavened."

And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."

Then his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take courage! It is I; do not be afraid."

and begged him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.

And he answered, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

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

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, "Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!"

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from others?"

Nevertheless, so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you open its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for me and you."

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every matter may be established by the word of two or three witnesses.'

The master of that servant took pity on him, released him, and forgave him the debt.

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'

Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.

Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying:

"Hear another parable: there was a landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country.

And the tenants took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another.

So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk.

And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and you care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men.

And Jesus answered them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all these things take place.

and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them;

but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground, and hid his master's money.

Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in,

When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you?

I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

Then he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.

He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are the money of blood."

So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

When Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. See to it yourselves."

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around him.

And they spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a reed, and offered it to him to drink.

When Josnt took the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came to him and took hold of his feet and worshipped him.

So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

So he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your pallet and walk'?

"I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home."

And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out in the sight of them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

For he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him.

When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

Again he began to teach by the sea. and a very large crowd gathered around him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land.

Then he said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you; and more will be given you.

And leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

For she said, "If I touch even his clothes, I shall be made well."

And they laughed at him. But after he put them all outside, he took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that such mighty works are performed by his hands!

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.

He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staffno bag, no bread, no money in their belts

When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

When Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
