And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;

And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;

And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;

And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;

And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

And they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying openly that they had done wrong.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day.

But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.

And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.

And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down.

And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.

Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.

Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.

And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe;

And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

Straight away he who had been given the five talents went and did trade with them, and made five more.

In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.

And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.

And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,
