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

And, they having departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to you; for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him."

and was there till the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."

Then Herod, seeing that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged; and, having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he exactly learned from the wise men.

"Ye heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,'

"Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy;'

"And, when praying, use not vain repetitions, as the gentiles do; for they think that for their much speaking they shall be heard.

Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding.

And the demons were entreating Him, saying, "If Thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."

And John, having heard, in the prison, of the works of the Christ, sending by his disciples,

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; because I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest for your souls;

But Herod, hearing of Him, said, "It is he whom I beheaded, John, the same was raised."

For Herod himself, sending forth, laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip, his brother, because he married her.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of Him, coming, fell down at His feet.

And He was charging them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."

But Jesus said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment.

And, answering, He said to it, "May no one eat fruit from you any more forever!" And His disciples heard it.

And the high priests and scribes heard it, and were seeking how they might destroy Him; for they were fearing Him, for all the multitude was astonished at His teaching.

Verily I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it.

and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your mind and with all your strength.'

And, answering, He said to them, "Going your way, announce to John what ye saw and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel proclaimed to them.
