And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.

And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.

And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.

And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.

And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;

and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

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 sought thee sorrowing.

And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

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

during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered.

And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.

And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;

and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.

and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;

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

and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.

And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;

how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?

But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.

And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.

And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water , and were in jeopardy.

And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee .

And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done.

And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?

And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.

And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?

And it came to pass, as they were on their way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed.

And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.
