And there appeared unto him, an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

And the angel said unto him, "Fear not Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard: And thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drink wine nor strong drink. And he shall be filled with the holy ghost, even in his mother's womb:

And Zacharias said unto the angel, "Whereby shall I know this? Seeing that I am old, and my wife well stricken in years."

And the angel answered, and said unto him, "I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak unto thee: and to show thee these glad tidings.

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 said unto her, "Fear not Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

He shall be great, and shall be called the son of the highest. And the Lord God shall give unto him the seat of his father David:

Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

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 Mary said, "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord, be it unto me even as thou hast said." And the angel departed from her.

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

And Mary said, "My soul magnifieth the Lord.

Even as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and to his seed forever."

Howbeit, his mother answered, and said, "Not so, but he shall be called John."

And they said unto her, "There is none of thy kin that is named with this name."

But the angel said unto them, "Be not afraid: For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, that shall come to all the people:

And it fortuned, as soon as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is happened, which the Lord hath showed unto us."

then took he him up in his arms and said,

And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, "Behold, this child shall be the fall, and resurrection, of many in Israel: And a sign which shall be spoken against.

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 he said unto them, "How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must go about my father's business?"

Then said he to the people that were come to be baptised of him, "O generation of vipers: who hath taught you to fly away from the wrath to come?

He answered and said unto them, "He that hath two coats, let him part with him that hath none: And he that hath meat, let him do likewise."

Then came there publicans to be baptised, and said unto him, "Master, what shall we do?"

And he said unto them, "Require no more than that which is appointed unto you."

The soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no man: neither trouble any man wrongfully: But be content with your wages."

John answered and said to them all, "I baptise you with water, but a stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptise you with the holy ghost, and with fire,

And the devil said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, command this stone that it be bread."

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:

Jesus answered him, and said, "Hence from me, Satan. For it is written, 'Thou shalt honour the Lord thy God, and him only serve.'"

And he carried him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down from hence.

Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'"

"The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me; To preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me; And to heal which are broken hearted: To preach deliverance to the captive; And sight to the blind; And freely to set at liberty them that are bruised;

And he closed the book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all that were in the synagogue, were fastened on him.

And all they bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

And he said unto them, "Ye may very well say unto me this proverb. 'Physician, heal thyself. Whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do the same here likewise in thine own country.'"

And he said, "Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

And he said unto them, "I must to other cities also preach the word of God, for therefore am I sent."

And he entered into one of the ships, which pertained to Simon, and prayed him, that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship.

When he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let slip your nets to make a draught."

And Simon answered, and said to him, "Master, we have laboured all night, and have taken nothing. Neverthelater, at thy word I will loose forth the net."

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 happened on a certain day, that he taught: and there sat the Pharisees, and doctors of law, which were come out of all the towns of Galilee, Jewry, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was to heal them.

When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered and said unto them, "What think ye in your hearts?

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 after that, he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, "Follow me."

And that same Levi made him a great feast at home in his own house. And there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat at meat with him.

Jesus answered and said unto them, "They that are whole, need not of the physician: but they that are sick.

Then they said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and pray: and the disciples of the Pharisees also: and thine eat and drink?"

And he said unto them, "Can ye make the Children of the wedding fast, as long as the bridegroom is present with them?

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, "Why do ye that which is not lawful to be done on the Sabbath days?"

And Jesus answered them and said, "Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was a hungered, and they which were with him:

And he said unto them, "The son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, "Rise up, and stand forth in the midst." And he arose, and stepped forth.

Then said Jesus unto them, "I will ask you a question: Whether is it lawful on the Sabbath days, to do good? Or to do evil? To save life? Or for to destroy it?"

And he beheld them all in compass, and said unto the man, "Stretch forth thy hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored, and made as whole as the other.

And he lifted up his eyes upon the disciples, and said, "Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

When Jesus heard this, he marveled at him, and turned him about and said to the people that followed him, "I say unto you, I have not found so great faith: No, not in Israel, certainly."

And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, "Weep not."

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 the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist sent us unto thee saying, "Art thou he that shall come: or shall we wait for another?"

And at the same time, he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits: and unto many that were blind, he gave sight.

And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Go your ways and show John, what things ye have heard and seen: how that the blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead arise: To the poor is the glad tidings preached,

And the Lord said, "Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation: and what thing are they like?

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

And behold a woman in that city, which was a sinner, as soon as she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment,

And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee." And he said, "Master say on."

Simon answered, and said, "I suppose that he to whom he forgave most." And he said unto him, "Thou hast truly judged."

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, "Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, and thou gavest me no water to my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven thee."

And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, "Who is this which forgiveth sins also?"

And he said to the woman, "Thy faith hath saved thee; Go in peace."

"A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden under feet, and the fowls of the air devoured it up.

And some fell on good ground, and sprang up and bare fruit, a hundred fold." And as he said these things, he cried, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

And he said, "Unto you is it given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God: but to others in similitudes, that when they see, they should not see, and when they hear they should not understand.

The similitude is this: The seed is the word of God.

He answered, and said unto them, "My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it."

And it chanced on a certain day that he went into a ship, and his disciples also, and he said unto them, "Let us go over unto the other side of the lake." And they launched forth.

And he said unto them, "Where is your faith?" They feared and wondered, saying one to another, "What fellow is this? For he commandeth both the winds and water, and they obey him!"

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."

And Jesus asked him, saying, "What is thy name?" And he said, "Legion," because many devils were entered into 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 Jesus said, "Somebody touched me. For I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."

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

While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, which said to him, "Thy daughter is dead, disease not the master."

Everybody wept and sorrowed for her. And he said, "Weep not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth."

And he said to them, "Take no thing to succor you by the way: neither staff, nor scrip, neither bread neither money, neither have two coats.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done of him, and doubted because that it was said of some, that John was risen again from death.

And Herod said, "John have I beheaded: who then is this of whom I hear such things?" And he desired to see him.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, "Send the people away, that they may go into the towns, and villages roundabout, and lodge, and get meat, for we are here in a place of wilderness."

But he said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said, "We have no more but five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and buy meat for all this people."

And they were about a five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, "Cause them to sit down by fifties in a company."

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

And he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples, to set before the people.
