And having received intimation of the divine will in a dream not to turn back to Herod, by another way they went back to their own country.

And they, having gone back, lo, the messenger of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child to destroy him.

A voice was heard in Rama, wailing, and weeping, and much lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, for they are not.

Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they seeking the soul of the young child have died.

And they were immersed in Jordan by him, acknowledging their sins.

And says to him, If thou art the Son of God cast thyself down; for it has been written, That to his messengers he will command concerning thee; and in the hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou strike thy foot against a stone.

Then the devil lets him go, and behold, the messengers came up, and they served him.

And Jesus, walking about by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a sweep-net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love in the assemblies, and in the corners of the broad ways to stand praying, so that they might appear to men. Verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

And praying, talk ye not vainly as the nations; for they think that by their profaneness of speech they shall be listened to.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

And evening being come, they brought him many possessed with evil spirits: and he east out the spirits by the word, and cured all having evils:

And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come.

Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household?

Then began he to blame the cities in which were his greatest powers, because they repented not.

Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon had been the powers being in you, long since had they repented in sackcloth and ashes.

And I say to you, That every idle word which men speak, they shill return word for it in the day of judgment.

The Ninevite men shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the proclamation of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas here.

For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.

And being evening, his disciples came to him, saying, It is a desert place, and the time has passed already; loose the crowds, that, having gone into towns, they might purchase food for themselves.

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to depart; give ye them to eat.
