The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?

And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not:

But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.
