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

And Zacharias seeing him was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt 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 to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak to thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

But she seeing him, was troubled at his saying, and reasoned, what manner of salutation this should be.

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, 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 after the custom of the Law,

He took him up in his arms, and blessed God and said, Lord,

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

And she coming in at that hour, gave thanks to the Lord, and spake of him to all that were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem.

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

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

And not finding him, they went back to Jerusalem, seeking him.

And 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 seeing him they were amazed. And his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou done thus to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

And the multitude asked him, saying, What then shall we do? He answering saith to them,

He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

And publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?

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

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

And Jesus answering said to him, Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the battlement of the temple, and said, If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

And as the multitude pressed on him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesareth,

And going into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he desired him to thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the multitude out of the boat.

But Simon answering said to him, Master, Having toiled all the night, we have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word, I will let down the net.

For astonishment seized him, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes,

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

And 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 thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

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

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read, even this, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the shew-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests only?

calling to him two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?

And the men being come to him, said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?

But they having nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both: Which therefore will love him most?

Simon answering said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. He said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at table with him said within themselves,

And afterward he went through every city and village preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him.

And much people being gathered together, coming to him out of every city, he spake by a parable, A sower went forth to sow his seed:

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundred fold. And saying these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
