Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by [the power of] the Holy Spirit.

All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet [Isaiah]:

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.

Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,

When King Herod heard of this, he was much troubled, and so, too, was all Jerusalem.

Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.”

When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

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

But [when he] heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream, he took refuge in the regions of Galilee.

and came and took up his abode in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, "He will be called a Nazarene,"

Then the devil took Him into the holy city [Jerusalem] and placed Him on the pinnacle (highest point) of the temple.

Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory [splendor, magnificence, and excellence] of them;

Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person [who insults you or violates your rights]; but whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other toward him also [simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your poise].

and if anyone wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat too.

For if you forgive others when they offend you, your heavenly Father will forgive you too.

For where your treasure lies, your heart will lie there too.

Which of you, though he took thought therefore, could put one cubit unto his stature?

So, too, every sound tree bears good fruit, while a worthless tree bears bad fruit.

And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

And Jesus took a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease, and every malady among the people.

Then He said to His disciples, "Certainly there is plenty to harvest but there are [too] few people to do the work."

"Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven."

And as they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

"A wedding song we played for you, the dance you all did scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you would not mourn.'

[He said] "It will be too bad for you, Chorazin! It will be too bad for you, Bethsaida! For if the powerful miracles had been performed in [the cities of] Tyre and Sidon which were performed in your presence, they would have repented long ago, [demonstrating it] by wearing sackcloth [i.e., a coarse cloth made of goat hair] and throwing ashes [into the air].

"And you too, Capernaum! Will you be exalted even to heaven? You shall go down to the Place of Death! For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which have been done in you, it would have remained until this day.

"Have you not read," answered Jesus, "what David did when he was hungry, and his men, too?

How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

The queen of the South too, shall rise up in the day of judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that man proves to be worse than the first. So, too, will it be with this wicked generation."

On that same day, after Jesus had left the house, he took his seat on the seashore;

And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

For the heart of his people is made fat, Their ears are dull of hearing; Their eyes, too, have they closed, Lest some day their eyes should perceive, And their ears should hear, And their heart should understand and turn, And I should heal them.

When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:

When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.

And they took offense at Him [refusing to believe in Him]. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”

But [when] Herod's birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [of them] and pleased Herod.

The head was brought on a dish and given to the young girl, and she took it to her mother.

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

"Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?

Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”

And he said, Are ye too still without discernment?

And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.

And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John the brother of James, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

And I took him to your disciples, and they were not able to make him well.

because of your incredulity, said Jesus: for I tell you truly, if ye had ever so little faith, ye might say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it should remove; and nothing would be too difficult for you.

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

The master of that servant took pity on him, released him, and forgave him the debt.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

But he would not do it. Instead, he took him and had him thrown into prison until he paid [him] all he owed.

Ought you not to have shown mercy to your fellow-slave, as I too had done for you?'

This is the way my heavenly Father too will deal with you, if you do not, each one, heartily forgive your brother."

Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

Jesus said to them: "I solemnly say to you, in the new order of life, when the Son of Man shall take His seat on His glorious throne, you too, who have followed me, will sit on twelve thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

He told them, "You go into the vineyard, too, and I will pay you whatever is right.'

They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go and work in the vineyard too.'

But when the first came, they supposed that they should receive more; and they too received each a denary.

"And as they took it they began to grumble against the master of the house.

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
