Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel: Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;

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.

"Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

And they said unto him, "In Bethlehem in Jewry; for thus it is written by the Prophet,

When they had heard the king, they departed; And, lo, the star, which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

When they saw the star they were marvelously glad;

And after they were warned of God in a dream that they should not go again to Herod, they returned into their own country another way.

When they were departed, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying,. "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and abide there till I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the child to destroy him."

"On the hills was a voice heard, mourning, weeping and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

saying, "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the child's life."

and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

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 they straightaway left their nets, and followed him.

And they, without tarrying, left the ship and their father and followed him.

And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and gripings, and them that were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy: and he healed them.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

Whensoever therefore thou givest thine alms, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

"And when ye pray, babble not much, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard, for their much babbling's sake.

"Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

And why care ye then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin:

Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and the other turn again and all to rend you.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

"Not all they that say unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth my father's will which is in heaven.

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:

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 he said unto them, "Go your ways." Then went they out, and departed into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

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 the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto his disciples, "Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?"

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.

Neither do men put new wine into old vessels: for then the vessels break, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels perish: but they pour new wine into new vessels, and so are both saved together."

he said unto them, "Get you hence, for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth." And they laughed him to scorn.

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."

But they, as soon as they were departed, spread abroad his name throughout all the land.

As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed of a devil.

But when he saw the people, he had compassion on them, because they were pined away, and scattered abroad, even as sheep having no shepherd.

Beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and shall scourge you in their synagogues;

But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say.

When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come.

It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

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?

Other, what went ye out for to see? Went ye to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

and they that go to it with violence pluck it unto them. For all the prophets and the law prophesied unto the time of John.

For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath the devil.

The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton, and drinker of wine, and a friend unto publicans, and sinners. And neverthelater, wisdom is justified of her children."

Then began he to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were done, because they repented not:

"Woe be to thee, Chorazsin! Woe be to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles, which were showed in you, had been done in Tyre and in Sidon: they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, which art lift up unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been done in thee, had been showed in Sodom, they had remained to this day.

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto him, "Behold: thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day."

He said unto them, "Have ye not read what David did, when he was a hungered, and they also which were with him?

and behold, there was a man, which had his hand dried up. And they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal upon the Sabbath days?" Because they might accuse him.

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

and charged them, that they should not make him known:

But when the Pharisees heard that, they said, "This fellow driveth the devils no other wise out, but by the help of Beelzebub the chief of the devils."

Also, if I, by the help of Beelzebub, cast out devils: by whose help do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

But I say unto you, that of every idle word, that men shall have spoken, they shall give accounts at the day of judgment.

The men of Nineveh shall rise at the day of judgment with this nation, and condemn them: for they amended at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

Then he goeth his way, and taketh unto him seven other spirits worse than himself, and so enter they in and dwell there. And the end of that man is worse than the beginning. Even so shall it be with this evil nation."

Therefore speak I to them in similitudes: For though they see, they see not; and hearing, they hear not, neither understand.

For this people's hearts are waxed gross. And their ears were dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts, and should turn, that I might heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

and the field is the world. And the children of the kingdom, they are the good seed. And the tares are the children of the wicked.

The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that do offend, and all them which do iniquity,

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

and came in to his own country, and taught them in their synagogues, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, "Whence cometh all this wisdom and power unto him?

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."

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the people, because they counted him as a prophet.

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.

When even was come, his disciples came to him saying, "This is a desert place, and the day is spent, let the people depart that they may go in to the towns, and buy them victuals."

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

Then said they unto him, "We have here but five loaves, and two fishes."

And they did all eat, and were sufficed. And they gathered up of the gobbets that remained twelve baskets full.

And they that ate were in number about five thousand men, besides women and children.

and when his disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is some spirit," and cried out for fear.

And as soon as they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, "Of a truth thou art the son of God."

And when they were come over, they went into the land of Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were sick,

and besought him, that they might touch the hem of his vesture only. And as many as touched it, were made whole.

"Why do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they wash not their hands, when they eat bread."

But in vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but men's precepts.'"

Let them alone, they be the blind leaders of the blind. If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.

insomuch that the people wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole; and the halt to go, the blind to see. And they glorified the God of Israel.

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."
