And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

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 when they came into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the region thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

And the same John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.

Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:

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

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

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

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And you, Capernaum, which is exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hades: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.

And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

And when his disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only.

And when he had begun the reckoning, one was brought unto him, who owed him ten thousand talents.

But since he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:

Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judea beyond Jordan;

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the owner of the house,

So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

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

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, repented not afterward, that you might believe him.

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment:

When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.

Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no child, left his wife unto his brother:

Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

But know this, that if the owner of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made five other talents.

And likewise he that had received two, he also gained another two.

But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not spread:

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

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

The Son of man goes as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up his spirit.

And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
