THE book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

"A virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel," which is being interpreted, God with us.

and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.

saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to pay him homage.

So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.

and was there till the death of Herod; that what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."

and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.

And the tempter coming to him said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made loaves.

and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, "that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor cast pearls before swine; lest they tread them under foot, and turning round tear you.

What man is there of you, of whom if his son ask a loaf, will he give him a stone?

And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head.

And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?

And at a considerable distance, there was a great herd of swine feeding.

Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine.

And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

And as Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, son of David!

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Never at any time was the like to this seen in Israel.

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

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;

Then brother shall surrender brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

But when they shall persecute you in one city, flee unto another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not complete your circuit through the cities of Israel before the Son of man comes.

He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

the Son of man is come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, what a man! a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners: though wisdom hath been justified by her children.

All things are delivered up to me by my Father: and no person knoweth the Son but the Father; neither knoweth any person the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

For the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

And all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this the son of David?

Therefore I say unto you, All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

And whosoever may speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying, Master, we desire to see a sign from thee.

But he answered and said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.

For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.

But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving it,

But the sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word, and the anxiety about this world and the deceitfulness of riches, choketh the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

But the sown upon the good ground, is he who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly beareth fruit, and produceth, one an hundred fold, and another sixty, and another thirty.

And he replying said to them, He that sowed the good seed, is the Son of man;

The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity;

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

And they who were in the vessel, came and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac.

AND the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him, and, to make trial of him, desired him to shew them a sign from heaven.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

Then Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, questioned his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? The Son of Man?

Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And he was transformed before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his garments were white as the light.

And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him!

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must the Son of man suffer by them.

Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.

And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men:

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Now if thy brother sin against thee, go and reprove him between thyself and him alone; if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Then Peter coming to him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Then said Jesus unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And, behold, two blind men sat by the road side, who hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, son of David!

And the multitude checked them, that they should be silent; but they cried out the more, Have mercy on us, Lord, son of David.

"Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting on an ass, even on a foal the ass's colt."

and the multitudes who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna, to the son of David; blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

But when the chief priests and scribes saw the marvellous acts which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were filled with indignation;

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.

Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance.

The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:

saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David's.

If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?

And all their works they do to be seen of men: they make their phylacteries broad, and deepen the fringes of their garments,

that upon you may come all the righteous blood which hath been poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?

For as the lightning cometh out from the east, and flashes to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Then, immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.

and they knew it not till the deluge came, and swept them all away; such also shall the coming of the Son of man be.

Therefore be ye also prepared: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.

Then his master answering said to him, Thou wicked and idle slave, thou knewest that I reap whence I had not sown, and gather where I had not scattered:

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.

Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him, said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.

Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken [the fact]. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

and saying, Thou that canst pull down the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, descend from the cross.
