And it came to pass, that, while he executed the priests' office before God in the order of his course,

And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season.

And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.

And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.

And it came to pass, that as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb: and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

And blessed is she that believed that there will be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is his name.

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

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

And her neighbors and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

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

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

And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill-country of Judea.

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

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

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

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shades of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.

(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that is the first born of his mother shall be called holy to the Lord)

And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.

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

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 he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

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

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.

And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

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

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

The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

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.

But to none of them was Elijah sent, save to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.

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

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

And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them, suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

And when it was day, he departed, and went into a desert place; and the people sought him, and came to him, and stayed 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 boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.

And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

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

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house.

And immediately he arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat down with them.

And Jesus answering, said to them, They that are well need not a physician; but they that are sick.

And he spoke also a parable to them: No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old.

And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through corn-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

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

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

And he said to them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered:

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

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And they that were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers to the prophets.

But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Woe to you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who despitefully use you.

And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

For if ye love them who love you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give to others, it shall be measured to you again.

The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect, shall be as his master.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

He is like a man who built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to 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 to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;

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

And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well that had been sick.

And it came to pass the day after, 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 bier: And they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.

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

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

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

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

And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities, and diseases, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.

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

For I say to you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

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

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