It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto you in order, most excellent Theophilus,

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

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,

And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stands in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,

Through the tender mercy of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness.

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God.

And the devil said unto him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here:

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, You shall not test the Lord your God.

Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, you Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know who you are; the Holy One of God.

And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, You are Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them permitted them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

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

And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?

And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

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

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?

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

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

But I say unto you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to them who hate you,

And unto him that smites you on the one cheek offer also the other; and he that takes away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.

And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have you? for sinners also do even the same.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your lap. For with the same measure that you measure it shall be measured to you again.

For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

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.

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is risen up among us; and, God has visited his people.

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And all the people that heard him, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

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 other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.

Return to your own house, and show what great things God has done unto you. And he went his way, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done unto him.

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: your faith has made you whole; go in peace.

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get food: for we are here in a desert place.

He said unto them, But whom say you that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

But I tell you a truth, there be some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

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

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,

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but you go and preach the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you.

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaves on us, we do wipe off against you: nevertheless be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near unto you.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.

And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over justice and the love of God: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have prepared?

So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?

If then God so clothes the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in pieces, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Then said he unto the vinedresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbers it the ground?

And if it bears fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.

And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?

And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
