Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way. For his mother Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found having in her womb from Holy Spirit.

But Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not wanting to expose her to public disgrace, intended to dismiss her privately.

But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from Holy Spirit.

Behold, the virgin will have in her womb, and will bring forth a son. And they will call his name Immanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.

and knew her not until she brought forth her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.

A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children. And she did not want to be comforted, because they are not.

Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.

But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thou. And as thou have believed, be it done to thee. And his boy was healed in that hour.

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she was raised up, and served him.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What is with us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? Did thou come here before the time to torment us?

While he spoke these things to them, behold, one ruler who came worshiped him, saying, My daughter has just now perished, but after coming, lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.

But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

But when the crowd was put out, having entered in, he took her hand, and the little girl arose.

And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.

But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak.

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

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

And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:

the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good-news.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

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

He will not quarrel, nor will he shout, nor will any man hear his voice in the thoroughfares.

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

The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

He who has ears, let him hear.

Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will 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 longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.

Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.

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

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

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.

And she, having been put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the immerser.

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

And having become evening, his disciples came to him, saying, The place is desolate, and the hour is now past. Send the multitudes away, so that having gone into the villages, they may buy food for themselves.

And they say to him, We have not here, except five loaves and two fishes.

But he said, Bring them here to me.

And having called in the multitude, he said to them, Hear and understand.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples having approached, they besought him, saying, Send her away, because she cries out behind us.

Then Jesus having answered, said to her, O woman, great is thy faith. Be it done for thee as thou desire. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And having responded, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou desire, we could make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

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 am well pleased. Hear ye him.

And having answered, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me.

And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon departed from him. And the boy was cured from that hour.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible t

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

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

But if he should not hear, take with thee one or two besides, so that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her?

And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

For the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a house-ruler, who went out in the early morning at the same time to hire workmen for his vineyard.

And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others having stood idle in the marketplace.

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

And having gone out about the eleventh hour, he found others who have stood idle. And he says to them, Why have ye stood here idle the whole day?

And those who came about the eleventh hour, each received a denarius.

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

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

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

and said to him, Do thou hear what these are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes! Did ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and those who suckle thou have perfected praise?

Hear ye another parable. There was a certain man who was a house-ruler, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.

But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance.

And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

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

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not.

But Jesus said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Truly I say to you, there will be left here, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will not be thrown down.

And ye are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye not be alarmed, for all the things must happen, but the end is not yet.

Then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe ye not.

But about that day and hour no man knows, not even the agents of the heavens, except my Father only.

Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes.

Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes.

the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware,

Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the son of man comes.

Truly I say to you, wherever this good-news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told for a memorial of her.

Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit ye here until, after going, I may pray there.

Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me.

And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, So ye could not watch with me one hour.

Then he comes to his disciples, and says to them, Sleep what remains, and take rest...Behold, the hour has come near, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are thou here. Then having come, they threw their hands on Jesus, and seized him.

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

Then Pilate says to him, Do thou not hear how many things they testify against thee?

Now from the sixth hour darkness developed over all the land until the ninth hour.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a great voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?

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