All this took place in fulfilment of what the Lord had spoken through the Prophet,

Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,

When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him."

So Joseph roused himself and took the babe and His mother by night and departed into Egypt.

"Rise from sleep, and take the child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead."

So he roused himself and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.

Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,

Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,

He proceeded to teach them, and said:

If any one wishes to go to law with you and to deprive you of your under garment, let him take your outer one also.

Or how say to your brother, 'Allow me to take the splinter out of your eye,' while the beam is in your own eye?

Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.

in order that this prediction of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, "He took on Him our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases."

Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."

But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."

for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."

And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.

and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.

When Jesus had concluded His instructions to His twelve disciples, He left in order to teach and to proclaim His Message in the neighbouring towns.

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.

And He came into His own country and proceeded to teach in their synagogue, so that they were filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Where did he obtain such wisdom, and these wondrous powers?

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

and He told all the people to sit down on the grass. Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and after looking up to heaven and blessing them, He broke up the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples distributed them to the people.

and they entreated Him that they might but touch the tassel of His outer garment; and all who did so were restored to perfect health.

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

and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.

And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.

Then Peter took Him aside and began taking Him to task. "Master," he said, "God forbid; this will not be your lot."

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If any one desires to follow me, let him renounce self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.

Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place.

"However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."

Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you.

Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,

This took place in order that the Prophet's prediction might be fulfilled:

"Listen to another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, made a fence round it, dug a wine-tank in it, and built a strong lodge; then let the place to vine-dressers, and went abroad.

So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.

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

"Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.

For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;

but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.

But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.

So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'

During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: it is my body."

And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, "Drink from it, all of you;

I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when I shall drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom."

And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdi. Then He began to be full of anguish and distress,

Then were fulfilled the words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, "And I took the thirty shekels, the price of the prized one on whom Israelites had set a price,

Then the Governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and called together the whole battalion to make sport of Him.

At last, having finished their sport, they took off the cloak, clothed Him again in His own garments, and led Him away for crucifixion.

So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean sheet of fine linen.

Then He said, "Dismiss all fear! Go and take word to my brethren to go into Galilee, and there they shall see me."

So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story was noised about among the Jews, and is current to this day.

and teach them to obey every command which I have given you. And remember, I am with you always, day by day, until the Close of the Age."

So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.

Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your mat, and walk?'

"To you I say, 'Rise, take up your mat and go home.'"

The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, "We never saw anything like this."

For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.

Once more He began to teach by the side of the Lake, and a vast multitude of people came together to listen to Him. He therefore went on board the boat and sat there, a little way from the land; and all the people were on the shore close to the water.

Then He proceeded to teach them many lessons in figurative language; and in His teaching He said,

He also said to them, "Take care what you hear. With what measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and that with interest.

So they got away from the crowd, and took Him--as He was--in the boat; and other boats accompanied Him.

for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."

On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

He charged them to take nothing for the journey except a stick; no bread, no bag, and not a penny in their pockets,

Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not;

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

So when Jesus landed, He saw a vast multitude; and His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.

And enter wherever He might--village or town or hamlet--they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.

"Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;

"And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?" "Seven," they answered.

And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.

So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"

This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.

Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.

Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.

but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.

One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon them.

But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.

"So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.

So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

So Jesus began to say to them: "Take care that no one misleads you.

Take care, be on the alert, and pray; for you do not know when it will happen.

Also during the meal He took a Passover biscuit, blessed it, and broke it. He then gave it to them, saying, "Take this, it is my body."

Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and handed it to them, and they all of them drank from it.

Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,

and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away."

Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, "Prove that you are a prophet." The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.

At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

At last, having finished their sport, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

Then they crucified Him. This done, they divided His garments among them, drawing lots to decide what each should take.

Then a man ran to fill a sponge with sour wine, and he put it on the end of a cane and placed it to His lips, saying at the same time, "Wait! let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down."

He, having bought a sheet of linen, took Him down, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb hewn in the rock; after which he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

They shall take up venomous snakes, and if they drink any deadly poison it shall do them no harm whatever. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover."

And when the days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord--
