And Joseph, being roused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife,

and did not know her until she bore her son, the First-born. And he called His name JESUS.

Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?

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

And Jesus arose and followed him. And so did His disciples.

Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.

And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

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

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet.

saying, We played the flute to you, and you did not dance! We mourned to you, but you did not wail!

Then He began to upbraid the cities in which most of His mighty works were done, because they did not repent.

But He said to them, Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,

Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth. And they sprang up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then where have the darnel come from?

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

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

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him; and said to him, Little-faith! Why did you doubt?

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and begged Him, saying, Send her away, for she cries after us.

How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about loaves, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Jesus answered and said to him, You are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in Heaven.

They said to Him, Why did Moses then command to give a bill of divorce and to put her away?

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

But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things which He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were angry.

The baptism of John, where was it from? From Heaven or from men? And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and did not go.

Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to Him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that the tax-collectors and the harlots go 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 harlots believed him. And when you had seen it, you did not repent afterwards so that you might believe him.

Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did the same to them.

Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, "The stone which the builders rejected, this One has become the head of the corner; this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?"

And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him any more.

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

His lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant! You knew that I reaped where I did not sow, and gathered where I did not scatter,

Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You drink?

When did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You?

Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You?

And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.

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

Then they will also answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?

Then He shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them. And they made the passover ready.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out in order to take Me with swords and clubs, as against a thief? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hands on Me.

And taking the silver, they did as they were taught. And this saying was spread among the Jews until today.
