The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,

Then Jesus *arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him.

But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him.

After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,

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

Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’”

Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus *said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.

And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.

When Jesus came into Peter’s home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

Now when Jesus saw a crowd around Him, He gave orders to depart to the other side of the sea.

Jesus *said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

But Jesus *said to him, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.”

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region.

Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

And they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

And Jesus said to them, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.

When Jesus came into the official’s house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus *said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They *said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!”

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see:

As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.

And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him.

But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all,

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.

And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”

That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea.

Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.

And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”

When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there.

And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

His disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.

Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!”

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”

And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.

Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?

Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.

Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.

Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.

And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”

And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall 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 cured at once.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?”

And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”

When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
