and knew her not till she had brought forth her first son: and called his name Jesus.

When Herod the king had heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

When they had heard the king, they departed; And, lo, the star, which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

Then Herod, perceiving that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, as many as were two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the wise men.

This John had his garment of camel's hair, and a girdle of a skin about his loins; his meat was locusts and wild honey.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward a hungered.

When Jesus had heard that John was taken, he departed into Galilee;

And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and gripings, and them that were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy: and he healed them.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Then the herdsmen fled and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what had fortuned unto them that were possessed of the devils.

And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

But when he saw the people, he had compassion on them, because they were pined away, and scattered abroad, even as sheep having no shepherd.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, to teach and preach in their cities.

"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.

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.

Wherefore if ye had wist, what this saying meaneth, 'I require mercy and not sacrifice,' ye would never have condemned innocents.

and behold, there was a man, which had his hand dried up. And they asked him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal upon the Sabbath days?" Because they might accuse him.

And he said unto them, "Which of you would it be, if he had a sheep fallen into a pit on the Sabbath day, that would not take him and lift him out?

Some fell upon stony ground where it had not much earth, and anon it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth:

When the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

which when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these similitudes, that he departed thence,

For Herod had taken John and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

When Jesus had heard that, he departed thence by ship into a desert place out of the way. And when the people had heard thereof, they followed him afoot out of their cities.

And as soon as he had sent the people away, he went up into a mountain alone to pray. And when night was come he was there himself alone.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were sick,

And when his disciples were come to the other side of the water, they had forgotten to take bread with them.

Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief. For I say verily unto you, if ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye should say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and he should remove: Neither should any thing be impossible for you to do.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents:

Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made.

Then had the Lord pity on that servant, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

When his other fellows saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their Lord all that had happened.

Was it not mete also, that thou shouldest have had compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity on thee?'

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished those sayings, he got him from Galilee, and came in to the coasts of Jewry beyond Jordan;

And when he had put his hands on them, he departed thence.

When the young man heard that saying, he went away mourning. For he had great possessions.

And when they had received it, they murmured against the good man of the house, saying,

Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight: And they followed him.

And he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and had his abiding there.

"What say ye to this? A certain man had two sons, and came to the elder and said, 'Son, go and work today in my vineyard.'

Then the King came in, to visit the guests, and spied there a man which had not on a wedding garment,

Now in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? For all had her."

When the Pharisees had heard, how that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they drew together,

and say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets.'

Then he that had received the five talents, went and bestowed them, and won other five talents.

Then came he that had received five talents, and brought other five talents saying, 'Master, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: Behold, I have gained with them five talents more.'

Then he which had received the one talent came also, and said, 'Master, I considered that thou wast a hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not,

Thou oughtest therefore to have had my money to the changers, and then at my coming should I have received my mine own with vantage.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board.

When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying, "What needed this waste?

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and made ready the Easter lamb.

The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

And when they had said grace, they went out into Mount Olivet.

He had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.

For he knew well, that for envy they had delivered him.

But the chief priests and the elders had persuaded the people, that they should ask Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus.

And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him again, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots."

and put it in his new tomb, which he had hewn out even in the rock, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed.

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
