But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.

Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.

And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.

The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.

Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:

And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.

And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.

Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.

Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;

But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.

And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.

And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.

So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.

And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.

Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.

The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:

For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem.

Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready.

And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.
