And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.

and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found him bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.

And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

I indeed baptise you with water to repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not fit to bear; he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire;

but John urgently forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptised of thee; and comest thou to me?

and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight.

And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.

and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

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

Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.

Let your light thus shine before men, so that they may see your upright works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.

When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

so that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render it to thee.

And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, downcast in countenance; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may appear fasting to men: verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Judge not, that ye may not be judged;

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow me, I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?

Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied through thy name, and through thy name cast out demons, and through thy name done many works of power?

and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.

Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

And every one who hears these my words and does not do them, he shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand;

And behold, a leper came up to him and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

and saying, Lord, my servant lies paralytic in the house, suffering grievously.

And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter under my roof; but only speak a word, and my servant shall be healed.

For I also am a man under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

But another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go away and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

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.

and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

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

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.

He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.

He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.

this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal him.

Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;

for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds it unoccupied, swept, and adorned.

But he answering said to him that spoke to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?

And, stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren;

for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.

so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the world's foundation.

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

But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and much of the day time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

And he said, Bring them here to me.

And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.

But seeing the wind strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever it be by which received from me thou wouldest be profited:

This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

but in vain do they worship me, teaching as teachings commandments of men.

But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried to him saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

But Jesus, having called his disciples to him, said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

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.

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

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.

But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.

and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in the heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

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.

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in the heavens.

For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?

The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.

But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay me if thou owest anything.

His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down at his feet, besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

Then his lord, having called him to him, says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;

Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way.

They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive.

But he answering said to one of them, My friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius?

Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee:

is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

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.

And he says to them, Ye shall drink indeed my cup, but to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but to those for whom it is prepared of my Father.
