And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.

But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

“A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she refused to be comforted,
Because they were no more.”

Now John himself had a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

“It was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’;

but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him.

And they cried out, saying, “What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.”

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.

But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see:

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

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here.

“He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

He who has ears, let him hear.”

Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

For the heart of this people has become dull,
With their ears they scarcely hear,
And they have closed their eyes,
Otherwise they would see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them.’

But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

“Hear then the parable of the sower.

Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

For John had been saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

Having been prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

They *said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.

But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.”

Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.

“Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

And He *said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

They *said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place;

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

And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’

When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.

saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She *said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.”

saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.

and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”

But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’

and he *said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”

Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,

Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”

Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Then He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”

And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”

Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
