but after he had planned this, there appeared an angel of the Lord to him in a dream saying, "Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her comes from the holy Spirit.

So on waking from sleep Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; he took his wife home,

After they had gone, there appeared an angel of the Lord to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt; stay there till I tell you. For Herod is going to search for the child and destroy him."

So he got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went off to Egypt,

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

So he rose, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel;

and he opened his lips and began to teach them. He said:

Take care not to practise your charity before men in order to be noticed; otherwise you get no reward from your Father in heaven. No,

So do not be troubled about to-morrow; to-morrow will take care of itself. The day's own trouble is quite enough for the day.

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take out the splinter from your eye,' when there lies the plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite! take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see properly how to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.

Many, I tell you, will come from east and west and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Realm of heaven,

Now when evening came they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all the invalids ??17 that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, He took away our sicknesses and he removed our diseases.

what she said to herself was this, "If I can only touch his robe, I will recover."

But after the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand, and the girl rose up.

you are not to take gold or silver or coppers in your girdle,

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

After finishing these instructions to his twelve disciples, Jesus removed from there to teach and preach among their towns.

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

He told them another parable. "The Realm of heaven," he said, "is like dough which a woman took and buried in three pecks of flour, till all of it was leavened."

his head was brought on a dish and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.

and begging him to let them touch the mere tassel of his robe ??and all who touched it got perfectly well.

"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they take their food."

vain is their worship of me, for the doctrines they teach are but human precepts."

He replied, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He took the seven loaves and the fish and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

Do you not understand even yet? Do you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

And the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up?

Peter took him and began to reprove him for it; "God forbid, Lord," he said, "This must not be."

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

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high hill by themselves;

However, not to give any offence to them, go to the sea, throw a hook in, and take the first fish you bring up. Open its mouth and you will find a five-shilling piece; take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."

but if he will not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that every case may be decided on the evidence of two or of three witnesses.

Take what belongs to you and be off. I choose to give this last man the same as you.

Now as Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem he took the twelve aside by themselves and said to them as they were on the road,

This took place for the fulfilment of what had been spoken by the prophet,

Jesus answered, "I tell you truly, if you have faith, if you have no doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done.

Listen to another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-vat inside it, and built a watchtower: then he leased it to vinedressers and went abroad.

but the vinedressers took his servants and flogged one, killed another, and stoned a third.

So they took and threw him outside the vineyard and killed him.

Then said the king to his servants, 'Take him hand and foot, and throw him outside, out into the darkness; there men will wail and gnash their teeth.

They sent him their disciples with the Herodians, who said, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and that you teach the Way of God honestly and fearlessly; you do not court human favour.

Jesus replied, "Take care that no one misleads you;

Let the fig tree teach you a parable. As soon as its branches turn soft and put out leaves, you know summer is at hand;

Then shall the Realm of heaven be compared to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.

For although the stupid took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

whereas the sensible took oil in their vessels as well as their lamps.

But the servant who had got the two hundred and fifty pounds went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

Take therefore the two hundred and fifty pounds away from him, give it to the servant who had the twelve hundred.

and took counsel together to get hold of Jesus by craft and have him put to death.

As they were eating he took a loaf and after the blessing he broke it; then he gave it to the disciples saying, "Take and eat this, it means my body."

He also took a cup and after thanking God he gave it to them saying, "Drink of it, all of you;

But he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedaeus along with him; and when he began to feel distressed and agitated,

but those who had seized Jesus took him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.

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

The high priests took the money and said, "It would be wrong to put this into the treasury, for it is the price of blood."

Then the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: and I took the thirty silver pieces, the price of him who had been priced, whom they had priced and expelled from the sons of Israel;

Now when Pilate saw that instead of him doing any good a riot was rising, he took some water and washed his hands in presence of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this good man's blood. It is your affair!"

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium and got all the regiment round him;

They spat on him, they took the stick and struck him on the head,

and after making fun of him they stripped him of the mantle, put on his own clothes, and took him off to be crucified.

One of them ran off at once and took a sponge, which he soaked in vinegar and put on the end of a stick to give him a drink.

So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in clean linen,

Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers, go and make it as secure as you can."

But a great earthquake took place; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and went and rolled away the boulder and sat on it.

So the soldiers took the money and followed their instructions; and this story has been disseminated among the Jews down to the present day.

and teach them to obey all the commands I have laid on you. And I will be with you all the time, to the very end of the world."

They then entered Capharnahum. As soon as the sabbath came, he at once began to teach in the synagogue;

for he healed so many that all who had complaints were pressing on him to get a touch of him.

Once more he proceeded to teach by the seaside, and a crowd gathered round him greater than ever, so he entered a boat on the sea and sat down, while all the crowd stayed on shore.

As for those who were sown 'on good soil,' these are the people who listen to the word and take it in and bear fruit at the rate of thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold."

Also he said to them, "Take care what you hear; the measure you deal out to others will be dealt out to yourselves, and you will receive extra.

so, leaving the crowd, they took him just as he was in the boat, accompanied by some other boats.

but he said, "Go home to your own people, and report to them all the Lord has done for you and how he took pity on you."

"if I can touch even his clothes," she said to herself, "I will recover."

then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha koum" ??which may be translated, "Little girl, I am telling you to rise."

When the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and the large audience was astounded. "Where did he get all this?" they said. "What is the meaning of this wisdom he is endowed with? And these miracles, too, that his hands perform!

and ordered them to take nothing but a stick for the journey, no bread, no wallet, no coppers in their girdle;

So when Jesus disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them, as they were like sheep without a shepherd, he proceeded to teach them at length.

and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he blessed them, broke the loaves in pieces which he handed to the disciples to set before them, and divided the two fish among them all.

whatever village or town or hamlet he went to, they would lay their invalids in the marketplace, begging him to let them touch even the tassel of his robe ??and all who touched him recovered.

Then the Pharisees and scribes put this question to him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders? Why do they take their food with 'common' hands?"

vain is their worship of me, for the doctrines they teach are but human precepts.

He said to her, "Let the children be satisfied first of all; it is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Then they reached Bethsaida. A blind man was brought to him with the request that he would touch him.

So he took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village; then, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked him, "Do you see anything?"

And he proceeded to teach them that the Son of man had to endure great suffering, to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, to be killed and after three days to rise again;

he spoke of this quite freely. Peter took him and began to reprove him for it,

Then he called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and so follow me;

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and John, and led them up a high hill by themselves alone; in their presence he was transfigured,

Then he took a little child, set it among them, and putting his arms round it said to them,

Now people brought children for him to touch them, and the disciples checked them;

Jesus looked at him and loved him. "There is one thing you want," he said; "go and sell all you have; give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me."

They were on the way up to Jerusalem, Jesus walking in front of them: the disciples were in dismay and the company who followed were afraid. So once again he took the twelve aside and proceeded to tell them what was going to happen to himself.

I tell you truly, whoever says to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' and has not a doubt in his mind but believes that what he says will happen, he will have it done.

Then he proceeded to address them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a trough for the winepress, and built a tower; then he leased it to vinedressers and went abroad.

but they took and flogged him and sent him off with nothing.

So they took and killed him, and threw him outside the vineyard.

They came up and said to him, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and fearless; you do not court human favour, you teach the Way of God honestly. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

"Teacher," they said, "Moses has written this law for us, that if a man's brother dies leaving a wife but no child, his brother is to take the woman and raise offspring for his brother.
