In the time of Herod, the king of Jewry, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron: And her name was Elizabeth.

And the angel went in unto her, and said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."

When she saw him, she was abashed at his saying: and cast in her mind what manner of salutation that should be.

And the angel said unto her, "Fear not Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

And the angel answered, and said unto her, "The holy ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born, shall be called the son of God.

And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age. And this is her sixth month, though she be called barren,

And Mary said, "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord, be it unto me even as thou hast said." And the angel departed from her.

And it fortuned, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe sprang in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy ghost,

And Mary abode with her about a three months; And returned again to her own house.

And her neighbours and her cousins heard tell, how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her, and they rejoiced with her.

And they said unto her, "There is none of thy kin that is named with this name."

And it fortuned while they were there, her time was come that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her first begotten son. And wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them within, in the inn.

But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondered them in her heart.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher: which was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity.

And he went with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. But his mother kept all these things in her heart.

And he said unto them, "Ye may very well say unto me this proverb. 'Physician, heal thyself. Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do the same here likewise in thine own country.'"

And he rose up and came out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's mother-in-law was taken with a great fever; And they made intercession to him for her.

And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever: and it left her. And immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

When he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, which was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city was with her.

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, "Weep not."

Yet is wisdom justified of all her children."

and she stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment.

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, "Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, and thou gavest me no water to my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Many sins are forgiven her, for she loved much. To whom less is forgiven, the same doeth less love."

And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven thee."

And there was thereby a herd of many swine, feeding on a hill, and they besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: And the herd took their course, and ran headlong into the lake, and were choked.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years: which had spent all her substance among Physicians, neither could be helped of any:

came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her issue of blood staunched.

And he said unto her, "Daughter, be of good comfort. Thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace."

Everybody wept and sorrowed for her. And he said, "Weep not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth."

And he thrust them all out at the doors, and caught her by the hand, and cried, saying, "Maid arise."

And her spirit came again, and she rose straightway. And he commanded to give her meat.

And the father and the mother of her were astonished. But he warned them that they should tell no man, what was done.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, "Send the people away, that they may go into the towns, and villages roundabout, and lodge, and get meat, for we are here in a place of wilderness."

And I tell you of a surety, Some there be, of them that here stand, which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God."

And it chanced, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, "Master, it is good being here for us. Let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." And wist not what he said.

It fortuned as they went, that he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.

And Martha was cumbered about much serving, and stood and said, "Master, dost thou not care, that my sister hath left me to minister alone? Bid her therefore, that she help me."

And Jesus answered, and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, thou carest, and are troubled, about many things:

verily one is needful. Mary hath chosen her that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

And it fortuned, as he thus spake those things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, "Happy is the womb that bare thee and the paps, which gave thee suck.

The queen of the south shall rise at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and condemn them. For she came from the end of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

The men of Nineveh shall rise at the judgment, with this generation, and shall condemn them: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah: And behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother. The mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, "Woman, thou art delivered from thy disease."

And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children together, as the hen gathereth her nest under her wings, but ye would not.

Salt is good, but if salt have lost her saltiness, what shall be seasoned therewith?

And when she hath found it she calleth her lovers, and her neighbours saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the groat which I had lost.'

Whosoever forsaketh his wife, and marrieth another, breaketh matrimony. And every man which marrieth her that is divorced from her husband committeth adultery also.

Neither shall men say, 'Lo here, lo there.' For behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

And they shall say to you, 'See here; See there.' Go not after them, nor follow them,

yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her: lest at the last she come, and hag on me.'"

And the third came, and said, 'Lord, behold here thy pound, which I have kept in a napkin,

And the third took her, and in likewise the residue of the seven; And left no children behind them, and died.

Now at the resurrection whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife."

For they all have of their superfluity added unto the offering of God: But she, of her penury, hath cast in all the substance that she had."

And they said, "Lord, behold here are two swords." And he said unto them, "It is enough."

He is not here: but is risen. Remember how he spake unto you, when he was yet with you in Galilee,

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, "Have ye here any meat?"
