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 the same came forth that same hour, and praised the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

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.

It came to pass as the people pressed upon him, to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Gennesaret:

But his fame spread so much the more abroad, and much people came together to hear, and to be healed of him, of their infirmities.

And he came down with them and stood in the plain field with the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all parts of Jewry and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon: which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases,

"But I say unto you which hear: Love your enemies. Do good to them which hate you.

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."

And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Go your ways and show John, what things ye have heard and seen: how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise: To the poor is the glad tidings preached,

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 some fell on good ground, and sprang up and bare fruit, a hundred fold." And as he said these things, he cried, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

And he said, "Unto you is it given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God: but to others in similitudes, that when they see, they should not see, and when they hear they should not understand.

Those that are beside the way, are they that hear, and afterward cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

They on the stones, are they which, when they hear, receive the word with joy. But these have no roots, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation go away.

And that which fell among thorns, are they which hear, and go forth, and are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit.

That in the good ground, are they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Take heed therefore how ye hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: And whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken, even that same which he supposeth that he hath."

He answered, and said unto them, "My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it."

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 Herod said, "John have I beheaded: who then is this of whom I hear such things?" And he desired to see him.

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.

And there came a voice out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

"Woe be to thee Chorazsin: woe be to thee Bethsaida. For if the miracles had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while agone repented, sitting in hair and ashes.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them: And to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."

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.

But he said, "Yea, happy are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."

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.

For the holy ghost shall teach you in the same hour, what ye ought to say."

This shall ye understand, that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would have come, he would surely have watched: and not suffer his house to be broken up.

Be ye prepared therefore, for the son of man will come at a hour when ye think not."

the Lord of that servant will come in a day, when he thinketh not, and at a hour when he is not aware, and will divide him, and will give him his reward, with the unbelievers.

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.

But rather, when thou art bidden, go and sit in the lowest room, that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, 'Friend, sit up higher.' Then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

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

It is neither good for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out at the doors. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

Then resorted unto him all the publicans and sinners, for to hear him.

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.'

And he called him, and said unto him, 'How is it, that I hear this of thee? Give accounts of thy stewardship. For thou mayest be no longer my steward.'

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

Abraham said unto him, 'They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.'

He said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, though one rose from death again.'"

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 Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge sayeth.

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

But when the farmers saw him, they thought in themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

And the high priests and the scribes, the same hour went about to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they perceived that he had spoken this similitude against them.

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."

But when ye hear of war, and of dissension: be not afraid, for these things must first come: but the end followeth not by and by."

Yet there shall not one hair of your heads perish.

And all the people came in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him.

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

When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth hands against me. But this is even your very hour, and the power of darkness."

And about the space of a hour after, another affirmed, saying, "Verily even this fellow was with him, for he is of Galilee."

And it was about the sixth hour. And there came a darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour,

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

And they rose up the same hour, and returned again to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

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