All the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; And from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; And from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are also fourteen generations.

saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the East and are come to worship him."

And he gathered all the chief Priests and Scribes of the people, and asked of them where Christ should be born.

When they had heard the king, they departed; And, lo, the star, which they saw in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.

When they saw the star they were marvelously glad;

And after they were warned of God in a dream that they should not go again to Herod, they returned into their own country another way.

When they were departed, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying,. "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and abide there till I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the child to destroy him."

Then Herod, perceiving that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, as many as were two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the wise men.

"On the hills was a voice heard, mourning, weeping and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

saying, "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the child's life."

and were baptised of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

And see that you think not to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father': for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

As Jesus walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and gripings, and them that were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy: and he healed them.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake.

Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but and if the salt have lost her saltiness, what can be salted therewith? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden underfoot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill, cannot be hid,

neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it lighteth all them that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the Prophets: No, I am not come to destroy them but to fulfill them.

For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the law shall not escape till all be fulfilled.

For I say unto you, Except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one white hair or black:

But your communication shall be, 'Yea, Yea; Nay, nay': for whatsoever is more than that cometh of evil.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you;

that ye may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth his rain on the just and unjust.

And if ye be friendly to your brethren only, what singular thing do ye? Do not the Publicans likewise?

Ye shall therefore be perfect even as your father which is in heaven is perfect.

Take heed to your alms, that ye give it not in the sight of men, to the intent that ye would be seen of them: or else ye get no reward of your father which is in heaven.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

Be ye not like them therefore: for your father knoweth whereof ye have need, before ye ask of him.

After this manner, therefore, pray ye: O our father, which art in heaven hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, even as we forgive our trespassers.

For and if ye shall forgive other men their trespasses, your heavenly father shall also forgive you.

But and if ye will not forgive men their trespasses, no more shall your father forgive your trespasses.

"Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

"See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But gather ye treasures together in heaven, where neither rust, nor yet moths corrupt: and where thieves neither break up, nor yet steal.

For wheresoever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

No man can serve two masters: For either he shall hate the one, and love the other; or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' Or. 'What shall we drink?' Or, 'Wherewith shall we be clothed?'

After all these things seek the gentiles: For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Or why sayest thou to thy brother, 'Suffer me to pluck out the mote out of thine eye'; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye.

Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and the other turn again and all to rend you.

Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent?

If ye then, which are evil, can give to your children good gifts, how much more shall your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask of him?

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of thistles?

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:

to fulfill that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on him our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."

And Jesus said unto him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the son of the man hath not whereon to rest his head."

And he said unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there followed a great calm.

And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesites, there met him two possessed of devils, which came out of the graves, and were out of measure fierce, so that no man might go by that way.

Then the devils besought him saying, "If thou cast us out, suffer us to go our way into the herd of swine."

And he said unto them, "Go your ways." Then went they out, and departed into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine was carried with violence headlong into the sea, and perished in the water.

Then the herdsmen fled and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what had fortuned unto them that were possessed of the devils.

And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Whether is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk?

When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto his disciples, "Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?"

When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole need not the physician, but they that are sick.

Neither do men put new wine into old vessels: for then the vessels break, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels perish: but they pour new wine into new vessels, and so are both saved together."

As soon as the people were put forth adoors, he went in and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

Then touched he their eyes saying, "According to your faith, be it unto you."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

But they, as soon as they were departed, spread abroad his name throughout all the land.

But when he saw the people, he had compassion on them, because they were pined away, and scattered abroad, even as sheep having no shepherd.

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

The names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon which is called also Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Possess not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,

nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

Into whatsoever city, or town ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence.

And if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it: but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you again.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor will hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say.

For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the housetops.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And none of them doth light on the ground, without your father.

And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me.

"Art thou he that shall come? or, shall we look for another?"

The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

Other, what went ye out for to see? Went ye to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
