and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called Christ.

And Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews, For we saw His star in the east, and we came to do Him homage."

and having assembled all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them, "Where the Christ should be born,"

"Verily I say to you, there has not arisen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Immerser; yet he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

for there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."

The Son of Man, indeed, goeth, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had never been born!"
