And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

And the centurion who stood by over against him, when he saw that he had expired having thus cried out, said, Truly this man was Son of God.

And when it was already evening, since it was the preparation, that is, the day before a sabbath,

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable councillor, who also himself was awaiting the kingdom of God, coming, emboldened himself and went in to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus.

And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he swathed him in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was cut out of rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

And Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was put.

And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled away, for it was very great.

And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved it.

And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;

Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.

The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

And Zacharias was troubled, seeing him, and fear fell upon him.

But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.

But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which the name was Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

But she, seeing the angel, was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.

And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:

And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.

And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And the Lord's hand was with him.

And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.

and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him as his wife, she being great with child.

and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And lo, an angel of the Lord was there by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared with great fear.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,

And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see the Lord's Christ.

And when he was twelve years old, and they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast

And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.

And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened,

And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old; being as was supposed son of Joseph; of Eli,

But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he entered, according to his custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.

And the book of the prophet Esaias was given to him; and having unrolled the book he found the place where it was written,

But of a truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine came upon all the land,

and to none of them was Elias sent but to Sarepta of Sidonia, to a woman that was a widow.

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian.

and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

And there was in the synagogue a man having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried with a loud voice,

And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

And when it was day he went out, and went into a desert place, and the crowds sought after him, and came up to him, and would have kept him back that he should not go from them.

And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:

And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.

And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.

And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert places and praying.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and out of Jerusalem; and the Lord's power was there to heal them.

And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put him before him.

And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.

And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.

And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did so and his hand was restored as the other.

And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:

and Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,

and Judas brother of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also his betrayer;

And he that has heard and not done, is like a man who has built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the breach of that house was great.

And a certain centurion's bondman who was dear to him was ill and about to die;

And Jesus went with them. But already, when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent to him friends, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.

And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city was with her.

And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;

and behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, and knew that he was sitting at meat in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster box of myrrh,

and standing at his feet behind him weeping, began to wash his feet with tears; and she wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the myrrh.

and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;

and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;

And it was told him saying, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.

and coming to him they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts.

And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.

And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.

And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.

While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.

And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

who, appearing in glory, spoke of his departure which he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And as the voice was heard Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

And they did not receive him, because his face was turned as going to Jerusalem.

Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion,

And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.

Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.
