and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias;

But Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her publicly, purposed to have put her away secretly;

but while he pondered on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary, thy wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

And John himself had his garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey.

But I say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.

But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.

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

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and served him.

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

As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

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

What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.

For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;

And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.

Blind men see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:

He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man that is eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: and wisdom has been justified by her children.

But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.

He shall not strive or cry out, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets;

Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.

He that has ears, let him hear.

For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;

and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;

for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

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

for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see them, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear them.

Ye, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.

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

For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother.

But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

And he said, Bring them here to me.

And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to him and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith is great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he do not hear thee, take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send her away?

For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard.

And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle;

Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.

But about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

And when they who came to work about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius.

saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, doing homage, and asking something of him.

And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Speak the word that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left in thy kingdom.

Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.

And he says to him, My friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.

But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all these things must take place, but it is not yet the end.

Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe it not.

But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but my Father alone.

Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.

Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.

the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,

Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.

Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.

And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour;

but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
