And reflecting upon these things, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared to him saying, Joseph, thou son of David, thou shouldest not fear to take to thyself Mary thy wife: for that begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And Joseph having awaked from sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord commanded him:

Where is he born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the sunrising, and have come to worship him.

And Herod the king having heard, was stirred up, and all Jerusalem with him.

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

And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, Having gone, examine thoroughly concerning the child; and when ye should find, announce ye to me, so that I also, having gone, will worship him.

And having come into the house, they found the young child with Mary his mother, and having fallen, they worshipped him; and having opened their treasures they brought forward to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

And they, having gone back, lo, the messenger of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child to destroy him.

For this is he spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all round about Jordan;

And they were immersed in Jordan by him, acknowledging their sins.

Then Jesus approaches from Galilee to Jordan, to John, to be immersed by him.

And John hindered him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and dost thou come to me?

And Jesus having answered said to him, Permit now; for so it is suitable for us to complete all justice: then he permitted him.

And Jesus, having been immersed, went up straight from the water, and, behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him.

And the tempter having come to him, said, If thou art the Son of God, say that these stones should become bread.

Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and sets him upon the small wing of the temple;

And says to him, If thou art the Son of God cast thyself down; for it has been written, That to his messengers he will command concerning thee; and in the hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou strike thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, Again has it been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again, the devil takes him into a very high mount, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;

And he says to him, All these will I give to thee, if, falling down, thou wouldst worship me.

Then says Jesus to him, Retire, Satan; for it has been written, The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and him alone shalt thou serve.

Then the devil lets him go, and behold, the messengers came up, and they served him.

And they instantly having let go their nets, followed him.

And having proceeded thence, he saw other two brethren, James him of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, adjusting their nets; and he called them.

And they having instantly let go the ship and their father,. followed him.

And a report went forth of him into the whole of Syria: and they brought to him all those having injuries, being oppressed by various diseases, and trials, and being under the influence of a demon, and being lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them.

And many crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him.

So let your light shine before men, that they see your good works, and praise your Father, him in the heavens.

Be kindly disposed to thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thy opponent should deliver thee to the judge, and the judge should deliver thee to the assistant, and thou be cast into prison.

And it was said, That whosoever should loose his wife, let him give her a repudiation.

But I say to you not to resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee with a rod upon thy right cheek, turn to him also the other.

And to him wishing to be judged with thee, and to take thy coat, let go to him also thy garment.

And whoever shall compel thee to carry dispatches one mile, go forward with him two.

To him asking thee, give thou, and him wishing to borrow from thee, thou shouldst not turn away.

Therefore make not yourselves like them: for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye ask him.

For everyone asking, receives and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking shall be opened.

Or what man is of you, which, if his son ask bread, he will not give him a stone?

And if he ask a fish, he will not give him a serpent?

If ye, therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Father which is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

Therefore, every one which hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a discerning man which built his house upon the rock.

And having come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

And, behold, a leper, having come, worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.

And having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed and instantly his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no one; but retire, show thyself to the priest, and bring near the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, a captain of a hundred came to him, and beseeching him,

And Jesus says to him, I, having come, will cure him.

And evening being come, they brought him many possessed with evil spirits: and he east out the spirits by the word, and cured all having evils:

And Jesus seeing many crowds about him, encouraged to go away beyond.

And one scribe, coming near, said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head.

And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and inter my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead inter the dead.

And he having gone into a ship, his disciples followed him.

And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost.

And the men admired, saying, Of what race is this for the winds and the sea listen to him.

And he having come beyond the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with evil spirits, coming out of the tombs, met him, very rough, so that not any could pass by that way.

And the evil spirits besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.

And, behold, all the city came forth to the meeting to Jesus: and seeing him, they besought that he would go away from their boundaries.

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee.

And Jesus, passing away from thence, saw a man sitting by the custom-house, being called Matthew, and he says to him, Follow me; and having risen he followed him.

Then came to him the disciples of John; saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?

He speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come, worshipped him, saying; That my daughter has just now died: but having come, put thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

And Jesus having risen, followed him: also his disciples.

He says to them, Give way; for the girl is not dead but sleeps; and they mocked him.

And Jesus passing from thence, two blind ones followed him, crying out and saying, Commiserate us, O son of David.

And having come into the house, the blind came to him: and Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I can do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

And they having gone, behold they brought to him a man dumb, possessed with an evil spirit.

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he also having delivered him up.

And fear not from those killing the body, and not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him able to destroy also soul and body in hell.

Every one therefore who shall agree with me before men, I also will agree with him before my Father, him in the heavens.

But whoever should deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father, him in the heavens.

He receiving you, receives me; and he receiving me, receives him sending me.

He said to him, Art thou he coming, or should we look for another?

He having ears to hear, let him hear.

And the Pharisees, seeing, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not lawful to do in the sabbath.

And he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they with him;

How he went into the house of God, and ate the loaves of setting up, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor those with him, but for the priests alone?

And, behold, there was a man having the hand withered. And they asked him saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbaths? that they might expose him.

And the Pharisees took counsel against him, having gone out, that they might kill him.

And Jesus having known, withdrew from thence; and many crowds followed him, and he cured them all;

And he rebuked them that they should not make him known:

Behold my servant, which I have chosen: my dearly beloved, in whom my soul was contented; I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment to the nations.

Then he possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb, was brought to him; and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb spake and saw also.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be remitted to him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be let go to him, neither in this time, nor that about to be.

And he yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

And a certain one said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.

And he having answered, said to him speaking to him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

For whoever should do the will of my Father, him in the heavens, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And many crowds were assembled together to him; therefore having entered into the ship, he sat down, and all the crowd stood upon the sea shore.

He having ears to hear let him hear.

And the disciples having come near, said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

Therefore hear ye the parable of him sowing.

And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares?

And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them

Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear.

Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
