But when Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

But Herod having expired, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. But He who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

whose fan is in His hand, and He will cleanse His floor and gather His wheat into the storehouse; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

But John restrained Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?

But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."

But when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He went back into Galilee.

And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them;

and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.

You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men.

Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house.

Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to destroy but to fulfill.

Therefore whoever shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell.

Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out from there until you have paid the last kodrantes.

But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is put away commits adultery.

Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord."

But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne;

But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these comes from evil.

But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you,

But when you do merciful deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does,

But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

so that you do not appear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

But lay up treasures in Heaven for yourselves, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

but I say to you that even Solomon in his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

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

Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded on a rock.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but only speak the word, and my boy will be healed.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and let the dead bury their dead.

And He entering into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

And behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

And He entered into a boat, and passed over, and came to His own city.

And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Child, be of good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, then He said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.

But when the crowds saw, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

But when Jesus heard, He said to them, The ones who are whole do not need a physician, but the ones who are sick.

But go and learn what this is, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Then the disciples of John came to Him saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

No one puts a piece of new cloth onto an old garment; for that which is put in to fill it up takes from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

While He spoke these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, My daughter has just now died. But come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.

But turning and seeing her, Jesus said, Daughter, be comforted; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.

He said to them, Go back, for the little girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed Him to scorn.

But when the people were put out, He went in and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

But going out, they made Him known in all that land.

But the Pharisees said, He throws out demons by the ruler of the demons.

But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.

Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.

But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrins, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

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

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. And the children shall rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.

And you will be hated of all men for My name's sake, but the one who endures to the end shall be kept safe.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another; for truly I say to you, In no way shall you have finished the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Truly I say to you, Among those who have been born of women there has not risen a greater one than John the Baptist. But the least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

But to what shall I compare to this generation? It is like little children sitting in the markets and calling to their playmates,

saying, We played the flute to you, and you did not dance! We mourned to you, but you did not wail!

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man who is a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners. But wisdom was justified by her children.

But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.

But when the Pharisees saw, they said to Him, Behold, your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day.

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

how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

"Behold My Child whom I have chosen; My Beloved, in whom My soul is well pleased. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He shall declare judgment to the nations.
