And sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go, inquire exactly concerning the young child, and if ye find him, bring me word again, that I also may come and worship him.

But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Ye serpents, ye brood of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

And the tempter coming to him said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Ye have heard, that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast: verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy, that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, commanded to go to the other side.

And a certain scribe came and said to him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the deadto bury their dead.

And behold they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a couch; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, Take courage: thy sins are forgiven thee.

And behold certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?

And as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with him and his disciples.

And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?

But Jesus hearing it, said to them, They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

And Jesus said, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bride-groom is with them? But the days will come, when the bride-groom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

For she said within herself, if I but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

And Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take courage; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.)

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.

For I am come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law.

And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?

And Jesus answering said to them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them: And happy is he, whosoever shall not be offended at me.

Jesus said to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

But the Pharisees seeing it said to him, Behold thy disciples do what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him?

And he said to them, What man is there among you, that shall have one sheep, who if it fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold on it and lift it out?

And the multitude were amazed and said, Is not this the Son of David?

But the Pharisees hearing it said, This fellow casteth not out devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not be established.

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

And great multitudes were gathered together, to him, so that he went into the vessel and sat, and all the multitude stood on the shore.

And the disciples came and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

He answered and said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given.

and considereth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way-side.

But he who received the seed in stony places, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.

He that received the seed among the thorns, is he that heareth the word: and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

But he that received seed on the good ground, is he that heareth the word and considereth it: who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth some an hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.

He proposed to them another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field.

So the servants of the housholder came to him and said, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it darnel?

He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then, that we go and gather them up?

But he said, No: lest gathering up the darnel, ye root up the wheat with them.

He proposed to them another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field:

He answering said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the darnel are the children of the wicked one.

he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, Whence hath HE this wisdom and these mighty works?

And they were offended at him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus, And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist:

For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

she said, Give me here John the Baptist's head in a charger.

And the king was sorry; yet for the oath's sake, and them who sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given her.

But Jesus said to them, They need not go: give ye them to eat.

He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass;

And he constrained his disciples, to go straightway into the vessel, and go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitude away.

And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And he said, Come. And Peter coming down from the vessel, walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answering said, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God thro' your tradition?

And calling the multitudes he said to them, Hear and understand.

Then came his disciples and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees, hearing this saying, were offended?

He answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.

Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable.

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

But he answering said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But he answering said, It is not right, to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

And she said, True, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table.

And Jesus answering said to her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus passing thence, came nigh the sea of Galilee; and going up into a mountain, he sat down there.

Then Jesus calling his disciples to him said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

They said, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass.

He answering said to them, In the evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the sky is red:

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

And Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Saducees.

Jesus knowing it said to them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have taken no bread?

The Son of man? And they said, Some say, John the Baptist, others Elijah; others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

And Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answering said to him, Happy art thou, Simon Barjonah; for flesh and blood have not revealed this to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

But he turning said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me: for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things of men.
