And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

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

"Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Give us today our daily bread.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'

And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

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

And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

he said, "Make room, because the girl is not dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.

"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'

Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

But he said to them, "Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions;

And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,

And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"

And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

You hypocrites. Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

But he did not answer her a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites. You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

Why is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"

Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

The disciples went, and did just as Jesus directed them,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,

and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from man?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

"But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter.

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

"The King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

for I was hungry, and you did not give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.'

"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?'

"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly I tell you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'

For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me.

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and look, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' See, I have told you."

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jewish people, and continues until this day.
