Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.

But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one .

Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Now when Jesus heard it , he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities.

But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat.

But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick,

And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ.

Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.

but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.

and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
