But the angel said to him, Do not fear, Zacharias. For your prayer is 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 old, and my wife is advanced in her days.

And answering, the angel said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands before God. And I am sent to speak to you and to show you these glad tidings.

And the angel said to her, Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

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

And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come on you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you. Therefore also that Holy One which will be born of you shall be called Son of God.

And they said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.

And the angel said to them, Do not fear. For behold, I give to you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

And it happened as the angels departed from them into Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Indeed, let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing which has happened, which the Lord made known to us.

And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, Behold, this One is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against

And seeing Him, they were amazed. And His mother said to Him, Child, why have you done so to us? Behold, your father and I have looked for you, greatly distressed.

And He said to them, Why did you look for Me? Do you not know that I must be about My Father's business?

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

He answered and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. And he who has food, let him do likewise.

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

And he said to them, Continue to do no more than that commanded to you.

And the soldiers also asked of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not forcibly extort anyone, nor accuse any falsely. And be content with your wages.

And the Devil said to Him, If you are the Son of God, speak to this stone that it might become bread.

And the Devil said to Him, All this power I will give you, and the glory of them; for it has been delivered to me. And I give it to whomever I will.

And Jesus answered and said to him, Get 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 sat Him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to Him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here.

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

"The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed,

And He said to them, You will surely say this proverb to Me, Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in your native-place.

And He said to them, I must proclaim the gospel, the kingdom of God, to other cities, because I was sent on this mission,

And as He stopped speaking, He said to Simon, Launch out into the deep and let your nets down for a haul.

And answering, Simon said to Him, Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing. Yet at Your word I will let down the net.

and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not fear, from now on you will be taking men alive.

And seeing their faith, He said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.

But knowing their thoughts, answering, Jesus said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralytic, I say to you, Arise, and take up your cot and go to your house.

And after these things He went out and saw a tax-collector named Levi, sitting at the tax-office. And He said to him, Follow Me.

And Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are sound do not need a physician, but those who are sick.

And they said to Him, Why do John's disciples fast often and make prayers, and also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?

But He said to them, Can you make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?

And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

And answering, Jesus said to them, Have you not read 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 said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up and stand in the middle. And he arose and stood.

Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil, to save life, or to destroy it?

And looking around on them all, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so. And his hand was restored whole like the other.

And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, Do not weep.

And in the same hour He cured many of infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits. And He gave sight to many who were blind.

And answering, Jesus said to them, Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is proclaimed to the poor.

And the Lord said, To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

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

And answering, Simon said, I suppose that one to whom he forgave most. And He said to him, You have judged rightly.

And He turned to the woman and said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, yet you gave Me no water for My feet. But she has washed My feet with tears, and has wiped them with the hair of her head.

And He said to her, Your sins are forgiven.

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

And He said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. But to others I speak in parables, so that seeing they might not see and hearing they might not understand.

And He answered and said to them, My mother and My brothers are those who hear the Word of God and do it.

And it happened on a certain day that He went into a boat with His disciples. And He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they put out to sea.

And He said to them, Where is your faith? And being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this One? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!

And He said to her, Daughter, be comforted. Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

And all were weeping and bewailing her. But He said, Do not weep; she has not died, but sleeps.

And He said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor each to have two tunics.

But the day began to wear away, and coming up the Twelve said to Him, Send the crowd away so that they may go into the villages and farms all around, and lodge, and get food. For we are here in a deserted place.

But He said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.

(For they were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, Make them recline by fifties in a company.

He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Answering, Peter said, The Christ of God.

And He said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

And in their parting from Him, it happened that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But as all were marveling at all things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

And He said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in My name receives Me. And whoever shall receive Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all, he shall be great.

And Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for he who is not against us is for us.

And it happened as they were going in the way, one said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

And He said to another, Follow Me! But he said, Lord, first allow me to go and bury my father.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

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

Then He said to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send forth laborers into His harvest.

And He said to them, I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightning.

He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it?

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

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

And going on the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him. And whatever more you spend, when I come again I will repay you.

And he said, The one doing the deed of mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.

And Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.

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

And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, as in Heaven, so also on the earth.

And He said to them, which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

But knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And a house divided against a house falls.

And it happened as He spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which You have sucked.

And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.

And one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Master, you reproach us also when you say this.

And one of the company said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

And He said to him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?

And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on.

And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?

And He also said to the crowd, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There is a shower coming. And so it is.

And answering, Jesus said to them, Do you suppose that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

And he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down, why does it encumber the ground?

And answering, he said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure.

And when Jesus saw her, He called and said to her, Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity.

And answering, the synagogue ruler, being angry because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, said to the crowd, There are six days in which it is right to work. Therefore in them come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

And one said to Him, Lord, are the ones being saved few? And He said to them,
