Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying,

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region about Jordan,

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and gather his wheat into the granary; but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.

And Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up immediately out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

And saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall uphold thee, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Then saith Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a close vessel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light to all that are in the house.

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:

Agree with thy adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Verily, I say to thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

And if thy right eye shall cause thee to sin, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand shall cause thee to sin, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

It hath been said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:

But I say to you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King,

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

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

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:

For if ye love them who love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

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

Therefore be ye not like them: for your Father knoweth what things ye need before ye ask him.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by anxious care can add one cubit to his stature?

And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or, with what shall we be clothed?

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and the measure which ye give, shall be measured to you again.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thy eye; and behold, a beam is in thy own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you:

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?

Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in by it.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there are that find it.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out demons? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick with the palsy, grievously tormented.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

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

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Depart; and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in the same hour.

When the evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick;

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.

But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And he said to them, Go. And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine: and behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And they that kept them, fled, and went into the city, and told every thing; and what had befallen to the possessed with demons.

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their borders.

But when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

And as Jesus was passing from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

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

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

No man putteth a piece of new cloth to an old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up, taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it to you.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

As thy went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon.

And when the demon was cast out, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out demons, through the prince of the demons.

And when he had called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease.

And as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give.

And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go thence.

And when ye come into a house, salute it.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Verily, I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given to you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

It is enough for the disciple that he should be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord: if they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call them of his household?

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that publish ye upon the house-tops.

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

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.

And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah who was to come.
