Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, [but] before they came together, she was found {to be pregnant} by the Holy Spirit.

Now Joseph, her husband [to be], being a man who did what was right, and not wanting to make a public spectacle out of her, decided to break off their engagement privately.

Now all this happened in order that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying,

Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,

Now [after] Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

Where is this king of the Jews who is now born? for we have seen his rising star, and are come to pay him homage.

Now when King Herod heard of it, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;

Now [when they] saw the star, they rejoiced [with] very great joy.

Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."

Now [after] Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

"Get up, take the young child and His mother, and go [back] to the country of Israel, for those who had tried to take the young child's life are [now] dead."

Now in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the Judean wilderness

"Repent," he said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."

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.

Now, produce fruit that answers to your repentance,

Already now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

But Jesus answered [and] said to him, "Permit [it] now, for in this way it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted him.

Now [after he] was baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove coming upon him.

Now [when he] heard that John {had been arrested}, he withdrew into Galilee.

From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."

Now [as he] was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

Now [when he] saw the crowds, he went up the mountain and [after he] sat down, his disciples approached him.

the eye is the light of the body: now if your eye be clear, your whole body will be enlightned.

Now if God so gorgeously dresses the wild grass which today is green but tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you with little faith?

Now, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts upon them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock.

Now when Jesus had finished his discourse, the crowds were astounded at his teaching,

NOW when he descended from the mount, great multitudes followed him.

Now [when] he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him, appealing to him

Now [when] Jesus heard [this], he was astonished, and said to those who were following [him], "Truly I say to you, I have found such great faith with no one in Israel.

Then Jesus said to the Captain: "Go now, and it shall be according to your faith." And the man was cured that very hour.

Now when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down, sick with a fever.

Now [when it] was evening, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed, and he expelled the spirits with a word. And he healed all {those who were sick},

Now [when] Jesus saw many crowds around him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.

Now a heavy storm came on at sea, so that the boat was buried under the waves. He was sleeping.

Now a long way from them a large herd of pigs was feeding.

Now the herdsmen fled and went into the town [and] reported everything, including the things concerning the demon-possessed men.

Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.

[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!"

Now a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel of his robe;

Now when Jesus had come into the house of the ruler, and had seen the flute-players and the wailing crowd, he said,

Now as Jesus moved on from there, two blind men followed Him [i.e., probably being led by sighted persons]. They were shouting, "Have pity on us, son of David!"

Now [as] they were going away, behold, they brought to him a demon-possessed man [who was] unable to speak.

Now Jesus went round to all the cities, and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people.

Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother,

Heal sick people, raise people from the dead, restore health to those with infectious skin diseases, and drive out evil spirits. You have received [blessings] freely, [now] give them out freely.

Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out.

"Pay attention, now! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves.

Now, when they bring you up for trial, do not trouble yourselves about how to speak or what to say; what you are to say will come to you at the moment,

Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered.

Now [when] John heard in prison the deeds of Christ, he sent [word] by his disciples

The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

Now [as] these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated violently, and the violent claim it.

Now that the Son of Man has come, he does eat and drink, and people say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drinker, the companion of tax-collectors and irreligious people!' And yet Wisdom is vindicated by her actions!"

"Alas for thee, Chorazin!" He cried. "Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the mighty works been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in both of you, they would long ere now have repented, covered with sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted even to Heaven? Even to Hades shalt thou descend. For had the mighty works been done in Sodom which have been done in thee, it would have remained until now.

now I tell you, that the work now in hand, is of greater consequence than that of the temple.

Now there was a man there with one hand withered. And, to get a charge against Him, they asked Him, "Is it right to cure people on the sabbath?"

Of how much more worth now is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

Now Jesus, [when he] learned of [it], withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.

Now when Jesus realized what they were thinking, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and no town or house divided against itself will stand.

Now if Satan is driving out Satan, he has become disunited; how then can his kingdom last?

the men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment against this generation, and shall condemn it, because they were converted at the preaching of Jonas, and now there is one superiour to Jonas here.

the queen of the south shall rise up at the day of judgement against this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the remote parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now a greater than Solomon is here.

"Now whenever an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it travels through waterless places searching for rest, and does not find [it].

Now while he was talking to the people, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.

Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:

Some fell on rocky ground where there was not much earth. Now because it had no depth of soil, it sprang up at once;

Now when his disciples came up to him, they said,

"Now listen closely to the story of the sower.

Now the one sown among the thorns—this is one who hears the word, but the worries of this age and the seduction of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

"But the seed sown in good soil is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and makes now an hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty."

Now when the blade shot forth, and produced the corn, then the tares also appeared.

Are all these things now clear to you? They say to him, Yes.

Now when Jesus finished these parables, he moved on from there.

Now Herod wanted to have him put to death, [but hesitated], fearing the crowd, because they considered John to be a prophet.

Now King Herod became very distressed [over such a gruesome request]; but because he had [promised with] oaths and [to look good in front of] his party guests, he ordered John's head to be given [to her].

Now [when] Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And [when] the crowds heard [it], they followed him by land from the towns.

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."

Now those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

And the ship was now in the midst of the sea, and was tossed with waves, for it was a contrary wind.

let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. now if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nought to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting lest they perish in the way."

Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.

Now when the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

Now at their departure to go to the other side, his disciples had forgot to take bread.

Now [when] Jesus came to the region of Caesarea {Philippi}, he began asking his disciples, saying, "Who do people say [that] the Son of Man is?"

And I, yes I, tell you, your name from now on is to be Peter, Rock, and on a massive rock like this I will build my church, and the powers of the underworld shall never overthrow it.

But, I say unto you - that, Elijah, just now, came, - and they recognised him not, but did with him, whatsoever they pleased: Thus, the Son of Man also, is destined to suffer by them.

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, 'Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?'

What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?

"Now if your brother sins against you, go correct him between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

Now when his fellow-servants saw what had happened they were greatly distressed, and they went and explained to their master all that had happened.

Now when Jesus finished these sayings, he left Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan River.

Wherefore now are they not twain, but one flesh. Let not man therefore put asunder, that which God hath coupled together."

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."
