And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;

But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;

Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him.

Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.

He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

And he went from there into their Synagogue:

And Jesus, having knowledge of this, went away from there, and a great number went after him; and he made them all well,

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees, hearing this, said to him, Master, we are looking for a sign from you.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean.

And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;

And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he all these things?

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.

And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.

And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

But she said, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs take the bits from under their masters' table.

Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.

And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.

And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.

Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.

And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

And they will put him to death, and the third day he will come again from the dead. And they were very sad.

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire.

And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire.

So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.

And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
