And they said to 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 ye 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 to them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

And Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou art 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 proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Jesus said to him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

The people who sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shades of death, light hath arisen.

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

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment:

Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

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

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thy oaths:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy:

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

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

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

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

And Jesus said to the centurion, Depart; and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And his servant was healed in the same hour.

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

And a certain scribe came, and said to him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

And he said to them, Go. And when they had come 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 with the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven thee.

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

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

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are sick.

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

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

But Jesus turned himself about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.)

He said to them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they derided him.

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

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

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 to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:

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

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

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

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

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

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

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

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to 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 to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh for a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Then one said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

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

And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

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

And great multitudes were gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:

And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

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

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;

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

But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.

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

So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them?

But he said, No; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

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

He answered and said to them, He that soweth 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 the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.

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

And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

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

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

For John had said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist in a dish.

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

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

He said, Bring them hither 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 constrained his disciples to get into a boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, Why didst thou doubt?

But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:

Then came his disciples, and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying?

But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be extirpated.

Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable.

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crums which fall from their master's table.

Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh to the sea of Galilee; and ascended a mountain, and sat down there.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

And he commanded the multitude to sit on the ground.

He answered and said to them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
