Even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

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

And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were now well advanced in years.

And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense.

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

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

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

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

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

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were much afraid.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us.

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.

And as the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;

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

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

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 I tell you a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

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

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

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

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

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

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

And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from now on you shall catch men.

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

And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

And Jesus answering them said, Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when he was hungry, and they who were with him;

How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests alone?

And they were filled with fury; and discussed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

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

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

Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.

When the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us unto you, saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another?

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

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

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

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

And when many people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

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

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many demons were entered into him.

Then went the demons out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned.

Now the man out of whom the demons were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Teacher, the multitude throng you and press you, and you say, Who touched me?

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in companies.

And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

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

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

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, many people met him.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

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

In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so much that they tread one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

I am come to send fire on the earth; and would that it were already kindled?

There were present at that time some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

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

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And he put forth a parable to those who were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief places; saying unto them,

And sent 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 who were bidden shall taste of my supper.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.

It would be better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.

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 show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

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

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

And he spoke this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

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

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

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

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

And being in agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

When they who were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who were come to him, Do you come out, as against a thief, with swords and clubs?

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

And they were the more urgent, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean.

And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed at him, saying, If you are Christ, save yourself and us.

And all the people that came together to see that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
