Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.

And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,

But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:

So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.

Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:

Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.
