And they said to him: In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet:

and sending them to Bethlehem, he said: Go, make strict inquiry for the young child: and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coining wrath?

But Jesus answering said to him: Permit it now; for thus it be comes us to perform fully every righteous act. Then he permitted him.

And the tempter came to him and said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.

But he answered and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: He will give his angels charge concerning you; and in their hands shall they take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him: It is again written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof.

and said to him: All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

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

the people that sat in darkness saw great light; and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has risen.

And he said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him;

You have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges.

You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery.

It has been said: Whoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not swear falsely, but shall pay to the Lord your vows.

You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

You have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

And when you fast, do not put on a sad countenance, as the hypocrites do; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Verily, I say to you, They have their reward.

And Jesus said to him: See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And Jesus said to him: I will go and cure him.

And the centurion answering, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but say in a word only, and my servant shall be restored to health.

And when Jesus heard it, he was filled with admiration, and said to those who followed him: Verily I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as you have believed, so be it to you. And his servant was restored to health in that hour.

But when Jesus saw many multitudes about him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.

And a certain scribe came and said to him.: Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.

And he said to them: Why are you fearful, you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and there was a great calm.

But the men were astonished, and said: What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

And when he had come to the opposite side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men, coming out of the tombs, possessed with demons, very fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

And he said to them: Go. And when they had come out, they went away into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the palsied man: Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven you.

And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves: This man talks impiously.

And Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said: "Why do evil thoughts arise in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins (then he said to the palsied man): Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.

And as Jesus passed by from that place, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: "Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?

When Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then will they fast.

For she said within herself: If I may only touch his mantle, I shall be saved.

But Jesus turned, and saw her, and said: Daughter, be of good courage; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.

he said to them: Depart; for the maid is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

And when he had entered the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus said to them: Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

Then he touched their eyes, and said: According to your faith, be it to you.

And after the demon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, and said: Never was it seen thus in Israel.

But the Pharisees said: He casts out the demons by the prince of the demons.

Then he said to his disciples: The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few.

For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law:

and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see.

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them;

At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him: Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.

But he said to them: Have you not read what David did, when he and those who were with him were hungry?

And he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the Sabbath-day, will he not lay hold on it and lift it out?

Then he said to the man: Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored to soundness, like the other.

And all the people were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?

But the Pharisees, when they heard it, said: This man does not cast out the demons, unless by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And no city or house divided against itself shall stand.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered and said: Teacher,- we wish to see a sign from you.

But he answered and said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Then he says: I will return to my house, out of which I came. And he comes and finds it empty, swept, and. set in order.

And some one said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak to you.

But he answered and said to him that told him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said: Behold my mother and my brothers.

On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea.

And many multitudes came together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

And the disciples came and said to him: "Why dost thou speak to them in parables?

He answered, and said to them: Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given.

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way side.

He that received seed on the stony places is he that hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy.

He that received seed among the thorns, is he that hears the word; and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But he that received seed on the good ground, is he that hears the word and understands it; who also produces fruit, and yields, one a hundred; another, sixty; another, thirty.

Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field.

And the servants of the master of the house came, and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?

He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Is it your will, then, that we go and gather them up?

But he said, No; lest while you are gathering the tares, you root up the wheat with them.

Then Jesus left the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

He answered and said to them: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;

the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; the tares are the sons of the Wicked One;

Jesus said to them: Have you understood all these things? They said to him: Yes, Lord.

He said to them: Therefore, every scribe that is trained for the kingdom of heaven, is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasury things new and old.

And he came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And they found in him occasion for offense. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless it be in his own country and in his own house.

and he said to his servants: This is John The Immerser; he has risen from the dead; and for this reason the powers of the spiritual world are active within him.

For John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her.

And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.

But Jesus said to them: They need not go away; do you give them food.

They said to him: We have here but five loaves and two fishes.

He said: Bring them hither to me.

And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and go before him to the opposite side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were alarmed, and said: It is a specter! and they cried out for fear.

But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And he said: Come. And Peter went down from the ship, and walked upon the water to go to Jesus.
