And the angel went in unto her, and said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."

And the angel answered, and said unto her, "The holy ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born, shall be called the son of God.

And blessed art thou that believedst: For those things shall be performed which were told thee from the Lord."

For mine eyes have seen the saviour sent from thee:

And when they saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said unto him, "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing."

and the holy ghost came down in a bodily shape like a dove upon him; And a voice came from heaven, saying, "Thou art my dear son; In thee do I delight."

And the devil said unto him, "All this power will I give thee every whit, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whosoever I will I give it:

For it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee,

and with their hands they shall stay thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

saying, "Let me alone, what hast thou to do with us, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee what thou art, even the Holy of God."

When he saw their faith he said unto him, "Man, thy sins are forgiven thee."

Whether is easier to say: 'Thy sins are forgiven thee?' Or to say: 'Rise and walk?'

But that ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins on earth," he said unto the sick of the palsy, "I say to thee, arise, take up thy bed and go home to thy house."

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

And he went and touched the coffin, and they that bare him stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say unto thee, arise."

And they told him, saying, "Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee."

When he saw Jesus, he cried, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with thee Jesus the son of the God most highest? I beseech thee torment me not."

"Go home again into thine own house, and show what great things God hath done to thee." And he went his way, and preached throughout all the city what great things Jesus had done unto him.

And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched me?" When every man denied, Peter and they that were with him, said, "Master, the people thrust thee and vex thee: and thou sayest, 'Who touched me?'"

And he said unto her, "Daughter, be of good comfort. Thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace."

And it chanced, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, "Master, it is good being here for us. Let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." And wist not what he said.

And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, "Master, I beseech thee behold my son, for he is all that I have:

And it chanced, as he went in the way, a certain man said unto him, "I will follow thee whithersoever thou go."

And another said, "I will follow thee Lord: But let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house."

And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host and said unto him, 'Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again I will recompense thee.'

And he within should answer and say, 'Trouble me not, now is the door shut, and my servants are with me in the chamber, I cannot rise and give them to thee.'

And it fortuned, as he thus spake those things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, "Happy is the womb that bare thee and the paps, which gave thee suck.

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee, be not darkness.

For if all thy body shall be light, having no part dark: then shall all be full of light, even as when a candle doeth light thee with his brightness."

But God said unto him, 'Thou fool, this night will they fetch away thy soul again from thee. Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?'

and he that bade both him and thee, come and say to thee, 'Give this man room.' And thou then begin with shame to take the lowest room.

But rather, when thou art bidden, go and sit in the lowest room, that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, 'Friend, sit up higher.' Then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

Then said he also to him that had desired him to dinner, "When thou makest a dinner, or a supper: call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor yet rich neighbours: lest they bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

and thou shalt be happy: For they cannot recompense thee. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just men."

And they all at once began to make excuse. The first said unto him, 'I have bought a farm, and I must needs go and see it, I pray thee have me excused.'

And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to prove them, I pray thee have me excused.'

I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee,

He answered, and said to his father, 'Lo these many years have I done thee service, neither brake at any time thy commandment, and yet gavest thou me never so much as a kid to make merry with my lovers:

Then he said, 'I pray thee therefore father, send him to my father's house.

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And though he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying, It repenteth me, forgive him."

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this publican.

Then Peter said, "Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee."

saying, "What wilt thou, that I do unto thee?" And he said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight."

Jesus said unto him, "Receive thy sight: Thy faith hath saved thee."

for I feared thee, because thou art a strait man: thou takest up that thou laidst not down; And reapest that thou didst not sow.'

And he said unto him, 'Of thine own mouth judge I thee, thou evil servant. Knowest thou that I am a strait man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow?

For the days shall come upon thee; that thy enemies shall cast a bank about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side;

And make thee even with the ground, with thy children which are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation."

And spake unto him, saying, "Tell us by what authority thou doest these things? Either, who is he that gave thee this authority?"

and ye shall say unto the good man of the house, 'The master sayeth unto thee, Where is the guest chamber where I shall eat mine Easter lamb with my disciples?'

But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."
