All this happened in fulfillment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says--

a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," that is to say, God our Saviour.

The Astrologers heard what the King had to say, and then continued their journey. And the star which they had seen in the east led them on, until it reached, and stood over, the place where the child was.

There he remained until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my son.

Then were fulfilled these words spoken in the Prophet Jeremiah, where he says--

This is he who was spoken of in the Prophet Isaiah, where he says--'The voice of one crying aloud in the Wilderness: "Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight."'

Bring forth therefore fruits becoming: penitents: and do not say within your selves,

And do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham [as] father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

And the tempter having come to him, said, If thou art the Son of God, say that these stones should become bread.

But he answered, "The Scripture says, 'Not on bread alone can man live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, "Again the Scripture says, 'You must not try the Lord your God.'"

and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

From that time [on], Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near."

and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute [you] and say all kinds of evil things against you, lying on account of me.

For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness greatly surpasses [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter into the kingdom of heaven.

But I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother will be subject to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Stupid fool!' will be subject to the council, and whoever says, 'Obstinate fool!' will be subject to fiery hell.

Truly I say to you, you will never come out of there until you have paid back the last penny!

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.

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.

But I say to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

Let what you say be simply 'yes' or 'no'; whatever exceeds that springs from evil.

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer, but whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him also.

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

And if you say 'Good morning' to your brothers only, what more than others are you doing?

Therefore whenever you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet in front of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!

And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to stand [and] pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!

But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

"When you are praying, don't say meaningless things like the unbelievers do, because they think they will be heard by being so wordy.

"Whenever you fast, do not be sullen like the hypocrites, for they make their faces unrecognizable in order that they may be seen fasting by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!

"For this [reason] I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, and not for your body, what you will wear. Is your life not more than food and your body [more than] clothing?

but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed like one of these.

So never worry and say, 'What are we going to have to eat? What are we going to have to drink? What are we going to have to wear?'

So, you should put the kingdom of God and what He says is right first [in your lives], then all these things [i.e., food, drink and clothing] will be provided for you.

Or how will you say to your brother, 'Allow [me] to remove the speck from your eye,' and behold, the beam of wood [is] in your [own] eye?

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?'

And then {I will say to them plainly}, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!'

And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him.

And the centurion answered [and] said, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should come in under my roof. But only say the word and my slave will be healed.

For I also am a man under authority who has soldiers under me, and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does [it]."

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.

But I say to you that many will come from east and west and {be seated at the banquet} with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

And Jesus says to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

For which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'?

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

And [when they] saw [it], the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

For she continued to say within herself, If I may only touch His garment, I will be saved.

He says to them, Give way; for the girl is not dead but sleeps; and they mocked him.

And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.

Then he says to his disciples, Truly the harvest much, but the laborers few.

And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.

If no one welcomes you, or listens to what you say, as you leave that house or that town, shake off its dust from your feet.

Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!

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.

Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

And whenever they persecute you in this town, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will never finish [going through] the towns of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

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

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward."

To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

But as they went away, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?

But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:

This is the man of whom the Scripture says, "'Attention! I am sending my messenger on before you; He will prepare the road ahead of you.'

Truly I say to you, among [those] born of women there has not arisen [one] greater than John the Baptist. But the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon!'

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."

Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.

But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [I openly and joyfully acknowledge Your great wisdom], that You have hidden these things [these spiritual truths] from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants [to new believers, to those seeking God’s will and purpose].

But I say unto you, that there is here what is greater than the temple.

Then he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and it was restored sound as the other.

and warned them not to say anything about him

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

And all the crowds were amazed, and he began to say, "Can this be the Son of David?"

For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

"And if any man say a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in that which is to come.

Either allow the tree to be good, and its fruit good; or else say the tree is corrupt, and its fruit corrrupt: for a tree is distinguished by its fruit.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things [when you] are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:

Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order.

And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, "{You will listen carefully} and will never understand, and {you will look closely} and will never perceive.

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]!

And he said unto them - An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him - Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?

But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.

Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.
