And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

And Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now: for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,

And said unto him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, You shall not test the Lord your God.

And said unto him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

Then said Jesus unto him, Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

And he said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:

It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not perjure yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths:

You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

And Jesus said unto him, See you tell no man; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

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

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go your way; and as you have believed, so be it done unto you. And his servant was healed in the same hour.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.

And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.

And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

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

And when he came to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

And he said unto them, Go. And when they came out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick, a paralytic, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the paralytic; Son, be of good cheer; your sins be forgiven you.

And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why think you evil in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the paralytic) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto your house.

And as Jesus passed forth from there, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat to eat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

But Jesus turned about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith has made you whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

He said unto them, Depart: for the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.

And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said unto them, You believe that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

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

Then said he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;

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.

And said unto him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see:

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

Then he said to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like the other.

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

Then he said, I will return into my house from where I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to speak with you.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why do you speak unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

But he that received the seed in stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

But he that received seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; who also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? from where then has it tares?

He said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him, Will you then that we go and gather them up?

But he said, Nay; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

He answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Jesus said unto them, Have you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.

And when he came into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for you to have her.

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John the Baptist's head on a platter.

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them who sat with him to eat, he commanded it to be given her.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; you give them to eat.

He said, Bring them here to me.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

And immediately Jesus made his disciples get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be you, bid me come unto you on the water.

And he said, Come. And when Peter came down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
