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 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.

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.

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 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:

Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have a resting-place; but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

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 into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

And he went out about the third hour, and saw others in the market-place doing nothing;

And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:

Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.

When, then, you see in the holy place the unclean thing which makes destruction, of which word was given by Daniel the prophet (let this be clear to the reader),

But he who was given the one went away and put it in a hole in the earth, and kept his lord's money in a secret place.

For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away.

And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.

He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.
