But the agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.

And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.

And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.

And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.

And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.

And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?

And having answered, the agent said to her, Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.

And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.

And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,

And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.

And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.

And he said to them, Why is it that ye were seeking me? Had ye not known that I must be among the things of my Father?

He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?

And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you.

And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.

And the devil said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.

And the devil said to him, I will give to thee all this authority, and the glory of them, because it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I want I give it.

And having answered, Jesus said to him, Go thee behind me, Satan. It is written, Thou shall worship Lord thy God, and him only shall thou serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down from here,

And having answered, Jesus said to him, It is said, Thou shall not challenge Lord thy God.

And all witnessed to him, and wondered at the words of grace that proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is this not the son of Joseph?

And he said to them, Ye will doubtless say to me this proverb: Physician, heal thyself. How many things we heard that happened at Capernaum, do also here in thy fatherland.

But he said to them, I must preach the good-news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because I was sent for this.

And having answered, Simon said to him, Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing, but at thy saying, I will let down the net.

and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not, from henceforth thou will be catching men.

And having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, I will, be thou clean. And straightaway the leprosy departed from him.

And having seen their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, having responded, he said to them, Why do ye deliberate in your hearts?

But that ye may know that the Son of man has authority upon earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralyzed man), I say to thee, Arise, and after taking up thy small bed, go to thy house.

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

And having answered, Jesus said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those faring badly.

And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink.

And he said to them, Ye cannot make the sons of the wedding hall fast while the bridegroom is with them.

But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not permitted to do on the Sabbath day?

And having answered them, Jesus said, Have ye not read even this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,

And he said to them, The Son of man is lord also of the Sabbath.

But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.

Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill?

And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did, and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And having lifted up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God is what belongs to you.

And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor are preached good-new

And having responded, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, speak Teacher.

And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly.

And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee. Go in peace.

And another fell on the good ground, and having grown it produced fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, also his disciples. And he said to them, Let us pass through to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth,

And when he saw Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before him. And in a great voice he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

And Jesus demanded him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.

And Jesus said, Who is he who touched me? But when they all denied, Peter and those with him, said, Master, the multitudes come together and crowd thee, and thou say, Who is he who touched me?

But Jesus said, Who touched me? For I perceived power having gone forth from me.

And he said to her, Cheer up, Daughter. Thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace.

And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, they said to him, Send the multitude away, so that, after going into the villages and fields around, they may rest and find provision, because we are here in a desolate

And he said to all, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and we could make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he was sayi

And having answered, Jesus said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long will I be with you and endure you? Bring thy son here.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were wondering at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

and he said to them, Whoever may receive this child in my name receives me, and whoever may receive me receives him who sent me, for he who exists smaller among you all, this man will be great.

And having answered, John said, Master, we saw a certain man casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.

But Jesus said to him, Do not forbid, for he who is not against us is for us.

And his disciples James and John having seen, they said, Lord, do thou want that we should call fire to come down from the sky, and consume them, as also Elijah did?

But having turned around, he rebuked them, and said, Ye do not know what kind of spirit ye are.

And it came to pass while they went on the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou may go, Lord.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has not where he might lay his head.

And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first, after departing, to bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God.

And also another said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those in my house.

But Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to a plow, and looking to things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
