but Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was inclined to break off the contract with her privately;

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came certain wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Then Herod called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:

Then Herod, when he saw that he was baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.

but He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live upon bread only, but on whatever proceedeth from the mouth of God."

and He saith unto them, Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men:

Blessed are ye when men shall revile and persecute you, and utter all manner of reproach against you falsly, for my sake:

Nor do men light a candle, to put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and then it giveth light to all in the house.

So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father, who is in heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of the left of these commandments, and thereby teach men so to do, he shall be esteemed very little in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do as well as teach them, he shall be accounted great in the kingdom of heaven.

but I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, tempteth her to commit adultery; and if any man marry her that is divorced, he committeth adultery.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be observed by them: otherwise ye will have no reward from your Father, who is in heaven.

Therefore when thou dost an alms-deed, do not proclaim it abroad, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may be applauded by men. Verily I tell you, they have their reward.

And when thou prayest, be not like the hypocrites; for they love to pray in public assemblies, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be taken notice of by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

For if ye forgive men their faults, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

but if ye forgive not men their transgressions, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

And when ye fast, be not, like the hypocrites, of a gloomy countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may be observed by men to fast: I tell you, they have indeed their reward.

that thou mayst not appear unto men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.

Is there any man among you, who, if his son ask him for bread, will give him a stone?

All things therefore whatsoever ye would have men do to you, do ye also in like manner unto them: for this is the doctrine of the law and the prophets.

Ye will know them by their fruits: do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Whoever therefore heareth these words of mine, and performeth them, I will compare him to a prudent man, who built his house on a rock:

And whoever heareth these words of mine, and performeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

for I also am a man under the authority of others, yet have soldiers under me; and I say to one, go, and he goeth; and to another, come, and he cometh; and to my servant, do this, and he doth it.

and Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And the men wondered, saying, What an amazing person is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

Upon which, some of the scribes said in themselves, This man blasphemeth: but Jesus knowing their surmises,

but that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, Arise (saith He then to the paralytic) and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house.

But when the multitudes saw it, they were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

And as Jesus was passing from thence, He saw a man sitting at the custom-house, named Matthew; and He saith to him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.

And as Jesus was going from thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Have compassion on us, O Son of David.

And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? and they say unto Him, Yes Lord.

And as they were going out, there was brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac:

and when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes were amazed, saying, there had never been seen the like in Israel:

Beware of evil men; for they will deliver you up to their councils, and will scourge you in their synagogues.

and ye shall be hated by all men for professing my name; but he that perseveres to the end shall certainly be saved.

But when they persecute you in one city, flee into another: for verily I tell you, ye shall not finish your commission through the cities of Israel, before the Son of man shall come.

Whosoever then shall own me before men, I also will own him before my Father, who is in heaven:

but whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:

and those of a man's own family shall be his enemies.

He that receiveth a prophet as a prophet, shall have a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man as such, shall receive a righteous man's reward.

And whosoever shall give to one of these mean persons but a cup of cold water to drink, as my disciple, I assure you, he shall not lose his reward.

and happy is the man who shall not be offended at any thing in me.

But what went ye out to see? a man clad in fine attire? they that wear rich clothes are in the palaces of kings.

the Son of man came eating and drinking like other men, and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.

For the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

And he went away and came into their synagogue: and there being a man there who had a withered hand,

But He said unto them, What man of you shall have one of his sheep fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, and will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

And of how much more worth is a man than a sheep? Sure then it is lawful to do good on the sabbath-days.

Then saith He to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and it was made sound like the other.

Then was brought to Him a demoniac, who was blind and dumb; and he healed Him, so that the blind and dumb man both spake and saw:

Or, how can any one enter into the house of a strong man, and take away his goods, unless he first overpower the strong man? and then indeed he may strip his house.

Wherefore, I tell you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the holy Spirit shall not be forgiven them:

and if any one speak against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him: but if any one speak against the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this life, nor in that to come.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart produceth good things; and a wicked man out of the wicked treasure uttereth wicked things:

but I tell you, that of every idle word, which men shall speak, they shall give an account in the day of judgement; for by thy words thou shalt be justified,

for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

So that the men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold a greater than Jonas is here.

Now when an impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders through dry desert places, seeking rest, and findeth none:

then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and so the last state of that man is worse than the first. And thus shall it be to this wicked generation.

for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.

Another parable propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:

but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.

Another parable delivered He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.

and He answered them, and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

the Son of man will send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field, which a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases that field.

and came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?

and his sisters, are they not all here among us? from whence then hath this man all these things?

Now they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;

but ye say, If any man say to his father or mother, "that which thou mightest be profited by from me is a gift to the temple,"

but in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.

not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this polluteth the man.

But the things, which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and those defile a man.

these defile a man, but to eat without washing the hands doth not defile him.

Now they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

And when Jesus came into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?

But He turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence to me; for thou regardest not the things of God, but those that be of men.

For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give as a ransom for his soul?

For the Son of man will come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then he will recompense every one according to his practice.

And I tell you of a truth, there be some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.

But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to Him a man kneeling down and saying,

And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:

And when they were come to Capernaum, the receivers of the tribute-money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Yes, saith he.

but that we may not give them offence, go to the sea-side and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and open its mouth, and thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give them for me and thee.

Wo will be to the world from such offenses; for it is of necessity that offenses come: but wo to that man by whom the offense cometh.

for the Son of man came from thence to save that which was lost.

What think ye? if any man had an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, would he not leave the ninety and nine, and go upon the hills, and seek that which is gone astray?

And the pharisees came to Him to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. And therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

His disciples say unto Him, if the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not adviseable to marry:

but He said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying of yours, but those only who have the gift of continence:

for there are some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.

The young man saith unto Him, All these have I kept from my youth: wherein am I yet deficient?
