Even as they delivered them unto us, which 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 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 time of incense.

And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration 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 noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

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 sore 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 hath 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, which 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 marvelled 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 hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

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

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being 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 of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, 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 Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving 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 spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth 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, which 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 draught of the fishes which they had taken:

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

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, 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 to day.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, 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 madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

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

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

When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto 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 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 ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils 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 back again.

Now the man out of whom the devils 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, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, 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 a company.

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, which were Moses and Elias:

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 hill, much 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 Jonas the prophet.

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

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

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

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

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye 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 which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; 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 which 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 presseth into it.

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

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

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew 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 Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

And he spake this parable unto certain which 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 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 could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

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

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

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

When they which 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, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

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

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

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

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

And they were instant 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 other, 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 which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

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

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

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
