But the angel said to him, "Fear not, Zacharias; because your supplication was heard; and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And Zacharias said to the angel, "By what shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in her days."

And the angel, answering, said to him, "I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these glad tidings to you.

And, the angel, coming in to her, said, "Hail, highly favored one, the Lord is with you."

And the angel said to her, "Fear not, Mary; for you found favor from God.

And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I know not a man?"

And the angel, answering, said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; wherefore also the Holy Thing that is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

And Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; may it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

and she lifted up her voice, with a loud cry, and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord;

And his mother, answering, said; "No; but he shall be called John."

And they said to her, "There is no one of your kindred who is called by this name."

And the angel said to them, "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which, indeed, shall be to all the people;

and to offer sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord

And he, answering, said to them, "Let him who has two coats share with him who has none; and let him who has food do likewise."

And there came also tax-collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

And he said to them, "Exact no more than that which has been appointed you."

And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no one, neither accuse any one falsely, and be content with your wages."

And the Devil said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, command this stone, that it become bread."

And the Devil said to Him, "To Thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them; because to me it has been delivered, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "It has been written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'"

And he led Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, cast Thyself down hence;

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "It has been said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God."

And all were bearing witness to Him, and were wondering at the words of grace which proceeded out of His mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's Son?"

And He said to them, "Ye will doubtless say to Me this parable, 'Physician, heal Thyself: whatsoever we heard of as done in Capernaum, do also here in Thy own country.'"

And He said, "Verily I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

And He said to them, "It is needful that I proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also; because for this I was sent forth."

And, when He ceased speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught."

And Simon, answering, said, "Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing; but at Thy word I will let down the nets."

and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not; henceforth you will catch men."

And, beholding their faith, He said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."

But Jesus, perceiving their reasonings, answering, said to them, "Concerning what are ye reasoning in your hearts?

But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins (He said to the paralyzed man), I say to you, arise; and, taking up your couch, go to your house."

And, after these things, He went forth, and beheld a tax-collector, Levi by name, sitting at the tax-office; and He said to him, "Follow Me."

And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

And they said to Him, "The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but Thine are eating and drinking!"

And Jesus said to them, "Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are ye doing that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath?"

And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Did ye never read this that David did, when he was hungry, and those with him;

And He said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."

But He knew their thoughts; and He said to the man having the withered hand, "Arise, and stand forth in the midst." And, rising up, he stood.

And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil??o save a soul, or to destroy it?"

And, looking round upon them all, He said to him, "Stretch forth your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored.

And He, lifting up His eyes on His disciples, said, "Happy, ye poor; because yours is the Kingdom of God.

And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning, He said to the multitude following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel did I find such faith!"

And, seeing her, the Lord was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, "Weep not."

And, going forward, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stood still; and He said, "Young man, I say to you, Arise!"

And, coming near to Him, the men said, "John, the Immerser, sent us to Thee, saying, 'Art Thou the Coming One, or are we to expect another?'"

And, answering, He said to them, "Going your way, announce to John what ye saw and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel proclaimed to them.

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he says, "Teacher, say it."

Simon, answering, said, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the more." And He said to him, "Rightly did you judge."

And, turning to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you behold this woman! I entered into your house, you gave Me no water for My feet; but this woman wet My feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.

And He said to her, "Your sins have been forgiven."

And He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables; that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand.

And He, answering, said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."

Now it came to pass on one of the days, that both He and His disciples entered into a boat; and He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." And they set forth.

And He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to another, "Who, then, is This, that He commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!"

And, seeing Jesus, he, crying out, fell down before Him, and, with a loud voice, said, "What is there to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beg of Thee, do not torment me!"

And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," (because many demons entered into him).

And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched Me?" And, when all were denying, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes are thronging Thee, and hard pressing Thee!"

But Jesus said, "Some one touched Me; for I perceived that power had gone out from Me."

And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."

And they were all weeping, and bewailing her; but He said, "Weep not; for she did not die, but is sleeping."

and He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey??either staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; and not to have two coats.

Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all the things that were taking place; and he was thoroughly perplexed, because it was said by some that John was raised from the dead;

And Herod said, "John I beheaded; but Who is This concerning Whom I hear such things?" And he was seeking to see Him.

And the day began to decline. And the twelve, coming near, said to Him, "Send away the multitudes; that, going into the villages and country round about, they may lodge and find food; because we are here in a desert place."

But He said to them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we, going, should buy food for all this people." (For they were about five thousand men).

And He said to His disciples, "Make them recline in companies of about fifty each."

And they, answering, said, 'John the Immerser;' and others, 'Elijah;' and others, 'that a certain prophet of the ancients arose.'

And He said to them, "But who say ye that I am?" And Peter, answering, said, "The Christ of God."

And He said to all, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah;" not knowing what he was saying.

And Jesus answering, said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring your son here."

And they were all amazed at the Majesty of God! And while all were marvelling at all the things which He was doing, He said to His disciples,

and said to them, "Whosoever shall receive this child in My name, receives Me; and whosoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for he that is least among you all, the same is great."

And John, answering, said, "Master, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us."

And Jesus said to him, "Forbid him not: for he who is not against you is for you."

And, seeing it, His disciples, James and John, said, "Lord, dost Thou wish that we bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?"

And, as they were journeying in the way, a certain one said to Him, "I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou goest."

And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have dens; and the birds of the heaven lodging-places; but the Son of Man hath not where to recline His head."

And He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me, going away, first to bury my father."

And He said, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but, going, publish abroad the Kingdom of God."

And another said, "I will follow Thee, Lord; but first permit me to bid adieu to those within my house."

And Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to a plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."

And He said to them, "The harvest, indeed, is great, but the laborers few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that He urge forth laborers into His harvest.

And He said to them, "I was beholding Satan fallen as lightning out of the heavens.

In that same hour He exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank Thee, O Father Lord of Heaven and earth, because Thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and didst reveal them to babes: yea, Father, because it was well-pleasing in Thy sight.

And, turning to the disciples, He said, privately, "Happy the eyes that behold what ye are beholding!

And He said to him, "What has been written in the law? How do you read?"

And he, answering, said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

And He said to him, "You answered right; do this, and you shall live."

But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

And Jesus, answering, said, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who, both stripping him and inflicting blows, went away, leaving him half dead.

And, on the morrow, taking out two denaries, he gave them to the host, and said, 'Take care of him; and whatsoever you expend additional, I, when I return, will repay you.'

And he said, "He that dealt kindly with him." And Jesus said to him, "Go, and do likewise."

But Martha was being distracted about much serving; and, coming up suddenly, she said, "Lord, carest Thou not that my sister left me to serve alone? Speak to her, therefore, that she assist me!"

But the Lord, answering, said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

And it came to pass, as He was in a certain place praying, that, when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
