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

Now all this came to pass that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying,

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:

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.

And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

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 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.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,

but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,

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.

For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.

and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

And they, having left their trawl-nets, immediately followed him.

And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;

and they, having left the ship and their father, immediately followed him.

And Jesus went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee,

leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

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.

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.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking.

For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you yours,

but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

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.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust spoils, and where thieves dig through and steal;

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust spoils, and where thieves do not dig through nor steal;

for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

Give not that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them with their feet, and turning round rend you.

Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;

Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter in through it.

By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?

By their fruits then surely ye shall know them.

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?

for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

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

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

And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

And there met him, when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs, exceeding dangerous, so that no one was able to pass by that way.

Now there was, a great way off from them, a herd of many swine feeding;

And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts.

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?

Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;

Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among the born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.

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

And, going away from thence, he came into their synagogue.

And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise it up?

that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying,

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.

For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find it.

Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.

for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

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.

and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power?

And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.

and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.

And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

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

But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

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.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

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 the disciples hearing it fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.

And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

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

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.

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

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

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.
