Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, 'God with us.'

and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

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 they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.

And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to thee the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.

And, having arisen, he took to him the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.

Arise, take to thee the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.

And he arose and took to him the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;

and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraean.

Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn.

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.

For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?

And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same?

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets so that they should appear to men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

For this cause I say unto you, Do not be careful about your life, what ye should eat and what ye should drink; nor for your body what ye should put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment?

so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.

But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;

It is sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?

And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day.

and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

And he said to them, A man that is an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it up?

But he said, No; lest in gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.

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.

whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.

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 his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?

Then he enjoined on his disciples that they should say to no man that he was the Christ.

For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.

And Jesus having called a little child to him, set it in their midst,

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;

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

What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?

And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish.

But he not having anything to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.

But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

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 answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.

The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in my vineyard.

And he said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.

And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell?

so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.

But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,

thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.

Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, that during this night, before the cock shall crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Peter says to him, If I should needs die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. Likewise said all the disciples also.

How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who had said to him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went forth without, and wept bitterly.

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should beg for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

Command therefore that the sepulchre be secured until the third day, lest his disciples should come and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first.

And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, we will persuade him, and save you from all anxiety.
