So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the taking away to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the taking away to Babylon to the coming of Christ, fourteen generations.

And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

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

See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

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

And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.

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 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.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

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.

Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

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

If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

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

And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.

Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.

Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all.

And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

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.

And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven.

But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

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:

For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.

The light of the body is the eye; if then your eye is true, all your body will be full of light.

But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged.

For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake?

If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

So by their fruits you will get knowledge of them.

Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

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

Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

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.

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:

But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.

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 they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

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 men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

And the news of it went out into all that land.

But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

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