So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.

But [as] he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

and {did not have sexual relations with} her until she gave birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she did not want to be comforted, because {they exist no longer}."

Now John himself had his clothing made from camel's hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'

But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

And who among you, [by] being anxious, is able to add one hour to his life span?

But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, [although it] is [here] today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not [do so] much more [for] you, you of little faith?

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go, as you have believed it will be done for you." And the slave was healed at that hour.

And he touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.

And behold, they cried out, saying, "{What do you have to do with us}, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

[As] he was saying these [things] to them, behold, one of the rulers came [and] knelt down before him, saying, "My daughter has just now died, but come, place your hand on her and she will live!"

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Have courage, daughter! Your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that hour.

But when the crowd had been sent out, he entered [and] took her hand, and the girl got up.

But whenever they hand you over, do not be anxious how [to speak] or what you should say, for what you should say will be given to you at that hour.

What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.

For I have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

And Jesus answered [and] said to them, "Go [and] tell John what you hear and see:

the blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have good news announced to [them].

The one who has ears, let him hear!

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a man [who is] a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

But I tell you that [something] greater than the temple is here!

He will not quarrel or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, [something] greater than Jonah [is] here!

The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, [something] greater than Solomon [is] here!

The one who has ears, let him hear!"

For this [reason] I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand,

For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them."

But your eyes [are] blessed because they see, and your ears because they hear.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous [people] longed to see what you see, and did not see [it], and to hear what you hear, and did not hear [it]!

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear!

because John had been saying to him, "It is not permitted for you to have her."

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

And coached by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!"

and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought [it] to her mother.

Now [when it] was evening, the disciples came to him saying, "The place is desolate and the hour {is late}. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages [and] purchase food for themselves."

And they said to him, "We do not have [anything] here except five loaves and two fish."

So he said, "Bring them here to me."

And summoning the crowd, he said to them, "Hear and understand:

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up [and] asked him, saying, "Send her away, because she is crying out after us!"

Then Jesus answered [and] said to her, "O woman, your faith [is] great! Let it be done for you as you want." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

So Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good [that] we are here! If you want, I will make here three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation! {How long} will I be with you? {How long} must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour.

And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man--the master of the house--who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace.

So they went. Going out again about the sixth and ninth hour he did the same [thing].

And about the eleventh [hour] he went out [and] found others standing [there] and said to them, 'Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?'

And [when] the ones [hired] about the eleventh hour came, they received a denarius apiece.

saying, 'These last [people] worked one hour and you made them equal to us who have endured the burden of the day and the burning heat!'

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, [and] kneeling down [she] asked something from him.

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Say that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your kingdom."

saying to them, "Go into the village before you, and right away you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie [them] [and] bring [them] to me.

And they said to him, "Do you hear what these [children] are saying?" So Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of children and nursing babies you have prepared for yourself praise'?"

But [when] the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance!'

And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?' But {he could say nothing}.

In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her [as wife]."

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together {the way} a hen gathers her young together under [her] wings, and you were not willing!

But he answered [and] said to them, "Do you not see all these [things]? Truly I say to you, not [one] stone will be left here on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

And you are going to hear about wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you are not alarmed, for this must happen, but the end is not yet.

"At that time if anyone should say to you, 'Behold, here [is] the Christ,' or 'Here [he is],' do not believe [him]!

"But concerning that day and hour no one knows--not even the angels of heaven nor the Son--except the Father alone.

For this [reason] you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think [he will come].

the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,

Therefore be on the alert, because you do not know the day or the hour!

Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her."

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go over there [and] pray."

Then he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me."

And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "So, were you not able to stay awake with me one hour?

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many [things] they are testifying against you?"

Now from the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")

He is not here, for he has been raised, just as he said. Come, see the place where he was lying.

And John was dressed in camel's hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her.

And he came [and] raised her up [by] taking hold of her hand, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And these are the ones beside the path where the word is sown, and whenever they hear [it], immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

And these are like the ones sown on the rocky ground, who whenever they hear the word immediately receive it with joy.

And others are the ones sown among the thorn plants--these are the ones who hear the word,

And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive [it] and bear fruit--one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred [times as much]."

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

And he said to them, "Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you.

And with many parables such as these he was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear [it].

And he was imploring him many [times], saying, "My little daughter {is at the point of death}! Come, lay your hands on her, so that she will get well and will live."

And immediately her {hemorrhage stopped} and she realized in her body that she was healed of her suffering.

So the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.

But he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering."

And taking hold of the child's hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which is translated, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"),

And he commanded them strictly that no one should learn of this, and said to give her [something] to eat.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by him.

For Herod himself had sent [and] arrested John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
