And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

And when Zachariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zachariah: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stands in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this should be.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.

And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zachariah, after the name of his father.

And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

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

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.

And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances.

And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.

Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said unto him, Teacher, what shall we do?

And the soldiers likewise asked of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.

And the devil said unto him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give you, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here:

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, You shall not test the Lord your God.

And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him for a season.

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was ill with a high fever; and they besought him for her.

Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with various diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and would have kept him, that he should not depart from them.

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

And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and asked him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

And Simon answering said unto him, Teacher, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at your word I will let down the net.

For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of the fish which they had taken:

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.

And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

And he charged him to tell no man: But go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man who was a paralytic: and they sought a way to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his bed into the midst before Jesus.

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.

And after these things he went forth, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office: and he said unto him, Follow me.

And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but you eat and drink?

And Jesus answering them said, Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when he was hungry, and they who were with him;

How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests alone?

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went power out of him, and healed them all.

And unto him that smites you on the one cheek offer also the other; and he that takes away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.

Give to every man that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods ask them not again.

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and ready to die.

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not yourself: for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof:

When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.

And it came to pass the next day that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.

And he came and touched the coffin: and they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto you, Arise.

And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

And this report of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the region round about.

And the disciples of John showed him all these things.

And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?

When the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us unto you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?

And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

And one of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

And 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 the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto you. And he said, Teacher, say on.

And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, You have rightly judged.

And they that sat to eat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto him of their substance.

And when many people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
