But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS.

and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

But why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, but observest not the beam which is in thine own eye?

Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother's eye.

And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour:

But God said to him, Thou fool! this night shall they demand thy life from thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

Then said Peter unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or also for all?

For as thou art going with thy prosecutor to the magistrate, on the way endeavour to make up the matter with him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

I tell thee, thou mayest in no wise come out from thence, until thou hast paid the very last mite.

perhaps it may then produce fruit: but if it does not, afterwards thou shalt cut it down.

and he that invited thee and him, coming say to thee, Yield this person the place; and so thou shalt begin with shame to go down to the lowest place.

But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee.

Then said he also to the person who had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy relations, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompence be made to thee.

But when thou makest an entertainment, invite the poor, the maimed, the halt, the blind:

and thou shalt be blessed; because they cannot recompense thee: for a recompence shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.

And the servant said, Sir, it is done as thou orderedst, and yet there is room.

But he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

And if seven times in the day he sin against thee, and seven times in the day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

And will he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?

Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

Then Jesus hearing this, said to him, Yet one thing thou lackest: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Then said he also to this man, Be thou also over five cities.

for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up where thou hadst laid nothing down, and reapest where thou didst not sow.

And he said to him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

why then gavest thou not my money to the bank, so when I came I might have required it with interest?

saying, Oh that thou hadst known, even in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

and will dash thee on the ground, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

and spake to him, saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things or who is he that giveth thee this authority?

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and respectest no man's person, but teachest the way of God in truth:

Then some of the scribes addressing him said, Master, admirably hast thou spoken!

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare it?

but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and when thou art returned, stablish thy brethren.

And after a little while another seeing him, said, Surely thou art one of them. Then said Peter, Man, I am not.

And the Lord, turning round, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, That before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
