"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

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, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.

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."

He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,

"Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."

He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

"Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

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

and commanded them that they should not make him known:

for this people's heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,

Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.

His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

The multitude rebuked them, telling them that they should be quiet, but they cried out even more, "Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David!"

But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!

But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,'

You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.

and said, "What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?" They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.

Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me."

He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him.

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.'"

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

He said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how.

When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."

They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"

He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.

He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,

They went out and preached that people should repent.

He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."

Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

If we should say, 'From men'" -- they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If a man's brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'

"Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!

But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

Crucifying him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots on them, what each should take.

But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.

It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.

All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.

to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

The child was growing, and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.

It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.

When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,

and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?"

When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'"

When he came to the house, he didn't allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, "Child, arise!"

But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."

Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

But they didn't understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great."

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."

Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
