But while he considered these things, behold, an agent of Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take Mary to be thy wife, for that which was begotten in her is from Holy Spirit.

Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

And divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.

Now after they departed, behold, an agent of Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, After rising, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and thou be there until I tell thee, for Herod is going to seek the child to

And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was scorned by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and having sent forth, he killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

Ye are the salt material of the earth. But if the salt material becomes ineffective, by what will it be salted? It is potent for nothing further, except to be cast outside and to be trodden down by men.

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

Whoever therefore may relax one of these least commandments, and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever may do and may teach them, this man will be called great in the kingdom of the he

Ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.

But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to

leave there thy gift before the altar, and go. First be reconciled to thy brother, and then, after coming, bring thy gift.

Be agreeing with thine opponent quickly, while thou are with him on the way, lest the opponent deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the subordinate, and thou will be cast into prison.

And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand causes thee to stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.

But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.

Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.

Be careful not to do your charity before men in order to be seen by them, otherwise ye have no reward from your Father in the heavens.

When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

so that thy charity may be in secret. And thy Father who sees in secret will himself reward thee in the open.

And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray having stood in the synagogues and in the corners of the thoroughfares, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

And while praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they will be heard by their much speaking.

Be not therefore like them, for your Father knows what things ye have need of before ye ask him.

Pray ye therefore this way: Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name.

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

The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole body will be bright.

But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?

And which man of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span?

Be not therefore anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we wear?

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow will be anxious about things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of it.

Do not criticize, that ye may not be criticized.

For by what criticism ye criticize, ye will be criticized, and by what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you.

And every man who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand.

And having reached out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleansed. And straightaway his leprosy was cleansed.

and saying, Lord, my boy has been laid down in the house, paralyzed, extremely tormented.

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

but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thou. And as thou have believed, be it done to thee. And his boy was healed in that hour.

Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak.

And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed, and hid, that will not be known.

And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.

Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day.

Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

And he said to them, What man of you will there be, who will have one sheep, and if this falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not grasp it, and lift it out?

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

Behold, my Boy whom I chose, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare justice to the Gentiles.

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they will be your judges.

But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come near you.

Because of this I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy of the spirit will not be forgiven men.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in the present age, nor in the one that is coming.

For from thy words thou will be justified, and from thy words thou will be condemned.

But having answered, he said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

For as Jonah was in the belly of the sea-creature three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understands it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.
