When they had heard the king, they departed; And, lo, the star, which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

When they saw the star they were marvelously glad;

saying, "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the child's life."

This is he of whom it is spoken by the Prophet Isaiah, which sayeth, "The voice of a crier in wilderness, 'Prepare the Lord's way and make his paths straight.'"

This John had his garment of camel's hair, and a girdle of a skin about his loins; his meat was locusts and wild honey.

When he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, "O generation of vipers, who hath taught you to flee from the vengeance to come?

And see that you think not to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father': for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Even now is the axe put unto the root of the trees: so that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he suffered him.

And Jesus, as soon as he was baptized, came straight out of the water: And, lo, heaven was opened over him, and John saw the spirit of God descend, like a dove, and light upon him:

and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a city upon the sea in the coasts of Zebulun and Naphtali:

"The land of Zebulun and Naphtali, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

the people which sat in darkness saw great light and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light has begun to shine."

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And he went forth from thence, and saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and called them.

When he saw the people he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came to him:

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake.

Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the law shall not escape till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever observeth, and teacheth the same, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, Except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

But I say unto you, Whosoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: whosoever sayeth unto his brother, 'Raca,' shall be in danger of a council: but whosoever sayeth, 'Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire.

I say unto ye verily, Thou shalt not come out thence, till thou have paid the utmost farthing.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a wife lusting after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

But I say unto you, Whosoever put away his wife, except it be for fornication, causeth her to break matrimony. And whosoever marryeth her that is divorced breaketh wedlock.

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's seat:

But I say to you, That ye resist not wrong. But whosoever give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn to him the other.

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

For if ye love them which love you, what reward shall ye have? Do not the Publicans even so?

Whensoever therefore thou givest thine alms, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

"And when ye pray, babble not much, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard, for their much babbling's sake.

"Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

"See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

And yet for all that, I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his royalty, was not arrayed like unto one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow shall be cast into the furnace, shall he not much more do the same unto you, O ye of little faith?

For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged: and with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again.

Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

"Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

"Therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, even so do ye to them: this is the law and the prophets.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

"Not all they that say unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth my father's will which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many miracles?'

And Jesus said unto him, "See thou tell no man; but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, to be offered in witness to them."

For I also myself am a man under power, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."

When Jesus heard that, he marveled, and said to them that followed him, "Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith: no, not in Israel.

I say therefore unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

Then Jesus said unto the Centurion, "Go thy way; and as thou believest, so be it unto thee." And his servant was healed the selfsame hour.

And then Jesus went to Peter's house, and saw his wife's mother lying, sick of a fever.

When Jesus saw much people about him, he commanded to go over the water.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with waves, and he was asleep.

And he said unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there followed a great calm.

And the men marveled and said, "What man is this, that both winds and sea obey him?"

And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesites, there met him two possessed of devils, which came out of the graves, and were out of measure fierce, so that no man might go by that way.

And he said unto them, "Go your ways." Then went they out, and departed into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

And, behold, all the city came out, and met Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart out of their coasts.

And, lo, they brought unto him a man sick of the palsy, lying in his bed: and when Jesus saw the faith of them, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Whether is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk?

And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

And as Jesus passed forth from thence he saw a man sit at the receipt of custom, named Matthew: and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed him.

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto his disciples, "Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?"

Neither do men put new wine into old vessels: for then the vessels break, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels perish: but they pour new wine into new vessels, and so are both saved together."

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people raging,

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

And as soon as the devil was cast out, the dumb spake. And the people marveled, saying, "It was never so seen in Israel."

But when he saw the people, he had compassion on them, because they were pined away, and scattered abroad, even as sheep having no shepherd.

Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodom, and Gomorra, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say.

It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?

Fear them not therefore: there is nothing so close, that shall not be opened; and nothing so secret, that shall not be known.

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man.

And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the people, of John, "What for to see went ye out into the wilderness? Went ye to see a reed shaken in the wind?

Other, what went ye out for to see? Went ye to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what went ye out for to see? Went ye out to see a prophet? Yea I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Verily I say unto you, Among the children of women arose there not a greater than John the Baptist: Notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.

and say, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned unto you, and ye have not sorrowed.

For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath the devil.

The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton, and drinker of wine, and a friend unto publicans, and sinners. And neverthelater, wisdom is justified of her children."

Nevertheless I say to you, it shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon, at the day of judgment, than for you.

Nevertheless, I say unto you, It shall be easier for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

Even so, father: for so it pleased thee.

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto him, "Behold: thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day."

But I say unto you, that here is one greater than the temple.

Then was brought to him one possessed with a devil, which was both blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that he which was blind and dumb, both spake and saw.

Either how can a man enter into a strong man's house, and violently take away his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then spoil his house?

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy of the spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.

O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye yourselves are evil? For of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

But I say unto you, that of every idle word, that men shall have spoken, they shall give accounts at the day of judgment.

Then answered certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees saying, "Master, we would fain see a sign of thee."
