And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Rise and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and continue there, untill I tell thee to return: for Herod will seek the child to destroy Him.

and they were baptized by him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then he permitted Him. And Jesus as soon as He was baptized came up from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon Him:

Now as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; (for they were fishermen:)

And his fame spread abroad into all Syria; and they brought unto Him all their sick, that laboured under various diseases and torments; even those who were possessed with devils, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them:

rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great will be your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets, that were before you.

And when Jesus had ended these discourses, the people were amazed at his doctrine:

And when it was evening they brought to him many demoniacs: and he cast out the evil spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill: that it might be fulfilled,

and perished in the waters. And they that were feeding them fled, and went away into the city, and related all these things, as also concerning the demoniacs.

But when the multitudes saw it, they were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

But when the people were put out, He went in and took hold of her hand, and the damsel rose up.

Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you: and their eyes were opened.

And as they were going out, there was brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac:

and when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been seen the like in Israel:

And when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion towards them; because they were dispersed and scattered like sheep that have no shepherd:

and from the days of John the baptist to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness.

Then began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; because they did not repent.

But He replied, Have ye not read what David did, when he, and his attendants, were hungry? how he went into the house of God,

and did eat the shew-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor those that were with him; but for the priests only? or have ye not read in the law,

they asked Him, if it were lawful to heal on the sabbath-days? that they might accuse Him.

and all the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Is not this the Son of David?"

and many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,

but when the sun rose, they were burnt up, and withered; because they had no root:

but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

and came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?

So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than in his own country, and in his own family.

And having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;

Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

and when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were affrighted and said, It is an apparition;

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.

And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;

and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.

Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?

And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them.

And they did all eat, and were satisfied: and they took up what was left even of fragments seven baskets full.

Now they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,

And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:

and they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall be raised again. And they were exceedingly grieved.

And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute-money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he.

but whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.

Now when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very much grieved, and came and acquainted their lord with all that had passed.

for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.

Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put his hands upon them, and bless them: and the disciples rebuked them;

His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?

And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every one a penny:

And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at the two brethren:

And as they were going from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him:

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage at the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that were selling and buying in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:

but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?

And the disciples seeing it were amazed and said, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered!

and would have seized Him, but that they were afraid of the people; because they took Him for a prophet.

and sent his servants to call those that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.

Then saith he to his servants, The feast is ready, but they that were invited were not worthy of it:

Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first married and died, and having no issue left his wife to his brother;

And when the people heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Now while the pharisees were thus gathered together, Jesus asked them,

for as the days of Noah were, so shall be also the coming of the Son of man;

for as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark,

Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom: and five of them were wise,

and five were foolish.

Now while the bridegroom stayed, they were all drowsy and fell asleep:

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the wedding-feast, and then the door was shut.

Now the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people were then assembled together into the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas:

and were consulting how they might take Jesus by treachery and put Him to death.

but when his disciples saw it, they were some of them provoked at it, and said, Wherefore is this waste?

and as they were eating, He said, Verily I tell you, that one of you will betray me.

And they were exceedingly grieved, and said to Him, every one of them, Lord, is it I?

Now as they were at table, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body:

And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

And one of them that were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and striking at the high priest's servant took off his ear.

Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled. And they, that apprehended Jesus, led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled:

And he went out into the porch; after which another maid saw him, and said to them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth:

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you?

And as they were going along they met with a man of Cyrene, whose name was Simon; and forced him to carry the cross.

And when they were come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say,

And there were two thieves crucified with Him: one on his right hand, and one on the left.

And one of the thieves also, that were crucified with Him, cast the same reproach upon Him.

And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split:

And when the centurion, and they that were with him guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake, and what was done, they were sore afraid, and said, This was indeed the Son of God.

And several women were there looking on at a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministring unto Him:

And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them and said, God save you. And they drew near and embraced his feet, and worshipped Him.

Now while they were going, behold some of the guard came into the city, and told the chief priests all that had happened:

saying, Do you say, that his disciples came by night, and stole Him away, while we were asleep.

So they took the money, and did as they were instructed: and this is commonly reported among the Jews to this day.

and all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

(for they were fishermen,) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:

And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;

And they were all amazed, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.

And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:

and He healed many that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.

And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:

great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,

But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

And Jesus, who knew immediately in his spirit that they were thus reasoning within themselves, said unto them, Why do ye dispute these things in your hearts?

And he instantly arose, and taking up his couch, went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw the like.

And as He sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners also sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him.

And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that were with him?
