And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

But I say to you, Do not make use of force against an evil man; but to him who gives you a blow on the right side of your face let the left be turned.

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

Every tree which does not give good fruit is cut down and put in the fire.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.

And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;

But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
