But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.

"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."

They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."

Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"

But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.

Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you.' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't dash your foot against a stone.'"

Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not test the Lord, your God.'"

Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."

Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"

Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

They immediately left their nets and followed him.

They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.

Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'

But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.

Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him.

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."

Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

He touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.

When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

A scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"

The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.

The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."

Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you."

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.

Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"

While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;

he said to them, "Make room, because the girl isn't dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him.

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David!"

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.

Simon the Canaanite; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

and said to him, "Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?"

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

But he said to them, "Haven't you 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 show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

And behold there was a man with a withered hand. They asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" that they might accuse him.

But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all,

and commanded them that they should not make him known:

"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him. He will proclaim justice to the nations.

Then one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

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 this age, nor in that which is to come.

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

One said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you."

But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"

Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

The disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'

"He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field."

Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes, Lord."

They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
