Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

"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."

Give us today our daily bread.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

he said to them, "Make room, because the girl isn't dead, but sleeping." They were ridiculing him.

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.

But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Aren't all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"

and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times!

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Don't tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?"

Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.

The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David!" they were indignant,

and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?'"

When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.'

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'

and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

"He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He is risen from the dead;' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men.

Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."

So they took the money and did as they were told. This saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.

He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry -- he, and those who were with him?

from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"

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."

When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead."

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

He answered them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."

"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

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.

They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.

Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

He answered, "What did Moses command you?"

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

For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

But about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."

Jesus said to him, "Most certainly I tell you, that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

Even so, their testimony did not agree.

The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

He began to tell them, "Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven't you read what David did when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;

He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.

He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."

While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Don't trouble the Teacher."

All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Don't weep. She isn't dead, but sleeping."

They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

They did so, and made them all sit down.

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?"

But Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God."

Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'
