"And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda art not the meanest among the cities of the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come forth a ruler, that shall feed my people Israel."

and saith unto Him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He will give his angels charge concerning thee, and they shall bear thee up as in their hands, least at any time thou shouldst dash thy foot against a stone:

and saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me:

Therefore, if thou bring thine offering to the altar, and there remembrest that thy brother hath any complaint against thee;

Be friends with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; least the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison:

verily, I say unto thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last farthing.

And therefore if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one part of thee perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell:

and if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy limbs should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

but I say unto you, Set not yourselves against him that injures you, but if any one smite thee on thy right cheek, rather turn to him the other also:

and if any one would go to law with thee, to take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also, rather than strive with him:

and if any one shall force thee one mile, go with him two.

Give to him that asketh thee, and him, that would borrow of thee, turn not away.

that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will himself reward thee openly.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.

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.

but if thine eye be bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and be it unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed in that very hour.

And a certain scribe came to Him, and said, Master, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest:

and they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?

and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.

For which is easier? To say, thy sins be forgiven thee? or to say, rise up and walk?

As He was speaking these things to them, behold there came a ruler and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is at the point of death: but come, I pray Thee, and put thy hand upon her, and she shall live:

And Jesus turning about, and seeing her, said, Daughter be comforted, thy faith hath cured thee. And from that time the woman was healed.)

Wo unto thee, Chorazin; wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles wrought among you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes:

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted even to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day.

Moreover I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgement, than for thee.

And upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:

Then some of the scribes and pharisees answered Him, saying, Master, we should be glad to see a sign from thee:

and somebody said to Him, "Here are thy mother and thy brethren standing without, desiring to speak to thee."

for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,

Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.

And Jesus replied and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then Peter took Him and began to expostulate with Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: may this never be unto thee.

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.

Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

If then thy hand or thy foot cause thee to offend, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire:

and if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with but one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

And if thy brother trespass against thee, go and expostulate with him alone; if he hearken to thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

but if he regard thee not, take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

And if he disregard them, tell it to the church: but if he disregard the church too, let him be unto thee as an heathen and a publican.

Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

The servant therefore fell prostrate before him, saying, Lord, bear with me a while, and I will pay thee all:

Then his lord called for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

and oughtest not thou to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had on thee?

Then Peter replied and said unto Him, Behold we have quitted all and have followed thee; what then shall we have?

But he answered, and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

Take what is thine, and be gone: it is my pleasure to give to this last as I do to thee;

and his lord said to him, Well done, my good and trusty servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into thy master's joy.

his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful in a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into the joy of thy lord.

And he also who received the one talent came to him and said, Sir, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou hast not strewed;

Then will the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

and when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in?

or naked, and clothed thee? and when did we see thee sick, or in prison, and visited thee?

Then will they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee famishing, or a-thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not relieve thee?

Now upon the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, came the disciples to Jesus, saying, where wouldest thou have us make preparation for thee to eat the passover?

But Peter answered and said to Him, though they should all be offended in thee, yet will I never be offended.

Jesus said unto him, Verily I tell thee that this night, before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.

Peter replied, though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. And so likewise said all the disciples.

And the high priest stood up and said to Him, Dost thou make no answer? what do these men testify against thee? but Jesus made no reply.

Then the high priest said to Him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

saying, Divine to us, thou Christ, who it is that smote thee.

Verily thou also art one of them, for thy speech discovers thee:

Then saith Pilate to Him, Dost thou not hear how many things they witness against thee?

As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"

and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.

And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

I say unto thee (saith He to the paralytic,) Arise, and take up thy couch, and go thy way to thine own house.

and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee.

and crying out with a loud voice said, Jesus thou Son of the most high God, what have I to do with thee? I adjure thee by God, that thou wouldst not torment me:

but Jesus did not permit him; but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee:

and earnestly intreated Him, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death, I beseech thee that thou wouldst come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.

And his disciples said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude crouding about thee, and dost thou ask, Who touched me?

and He said to her, Daughter, thy faith has saved thee; go in peace, and be healed of thy disorder.

and taking hold of her hand, He saith unto her, Talitha, cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say unto thee) arise:

For John had said to Herod, it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

and dancing, and having pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the young princess, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And he gave her his oath too, whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even to the half of my kingdom.

But He turned about and looking on his disciples reproved Peter, saying, Get thee behind me Satan; for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things that be of men.

Then said Peter to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: let us make three tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias:

And one of the multitude answered, and said, Master I have brought unto thee my son, who is possessed by a dumb spirit:

when Jesus saw the people flock together, He rebuked the impure spirit, and said to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, Come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that will never be extinguished;

And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the inextinguishable fire;

And if thine eye cause thee to offend, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire;

Then Peter said to Him, Behold we have left all, and followed thee.

And Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
