While he thus thought, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: For that which is conceived in her is of the holy ghost.

She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

And they said unto him, "In Bethlehem in Jewry; for thus it is written by the Prophet,

'And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Jewry, art not the least concerning the Princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come the captain, that shall govern my people Israel.'"

and sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child. And when ye have found him, bring me word, that I may come and worship him also."

When they were departed, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying,. "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and abide there till I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the child to destroy him."

"On the hills was a voice heard, mourning, weeping and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

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."

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.

I baptise you in water in token of repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fire:

Which hath also his fan in his hand, and will purge his floor, and gather the wheat into His garner; and will burn the chaff with unquenchable 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 said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

Then said Jesus unto him, "Depart, Satan: For it is written, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve.'"

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.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

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

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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.

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but and if the salt have lost her saltiness, what can be salted therewith? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden underfoot of men.

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.

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

"Ye have heard how it was said unto them of the old time, 'Thou shalt not kill; for whosoever killeth shall be in danger of judgment:'

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.

Wherfore if thy right eye offend thee, pluck him out, and cast him from thee: better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

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:

nor yet by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of that great King:

But your communication shall be, 'Yea, Yea; Nay, nay': for whatsoever is more than that cometh of evil.

"Ye have heard how it is said, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.'

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;

that ye may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth his rain on the just and unjust.

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.

Be ye not like them therefore: for your father knoweth whereof ye have need, before ye ask of him.

Lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen.

For and if ye shall forgive other men their trespasses, your heavenly father shall also forgive you.

"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.

For wheresoever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

No man can serve two masters: For either he shall hate the one, and love the other; or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

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 why care ye then for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They labor not, neither spin:

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

After all these things seek the gentiles: For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Care not then for the morrow: but let the morrow care for itself. For the day present hath ever enough of his own trouble.

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.

For whosoever asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire.

For he taught them as one having power, and not as the scribes.

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."

Go and learn, what that meaneth: 'I have pleasure in mercy, and not in offering.' For I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

No man pieceth an old garment with a piece of new cloth. For then taketh he away the piece again from the garment, and the rent is made greater.

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."

For she said in herself, "If I may touch but even his vesture only I shall be safe."

he said unto them, "Get you hence, for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth." And they laughed him to scorn.

nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

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.

Beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and shall scourge you in their synagogues;

And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.

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.

For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you.

and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved.

When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come.

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 fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And none of them doth light on the ground, without your father.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:

He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me.

And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me.

He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.

"Art thou he that shall come? or, shall we look for another?"

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.

For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.'

and they that go to it with violence pluck it unto them. For all the prophets and the law prophesied unto the time of John.

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

"Woe be to thee, Chorazsin! Woe be to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles, which were showed in you, had been done in Tyre and in Sidon: they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

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

And thou, Capernaum, which art lift up unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been done in thee, had been showed in Sodom, they had remained to this day.

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.

Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek, and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

How he entered into the house of God, and ate the hallowed loaves, which were not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests.

For the son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."
