The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,

After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.

Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."

So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.

So he rose and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

that the word spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, He took upon himself our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases.

When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.

"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?

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

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.

He set forth to them another parable, saying. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard-seed which a man took and planted in his field.

He told them another parable. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened."

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

And they all ate and were fully satisfied, and they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve basketfuls.

On leaving that place Jesus went along the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and after climbing a hill, took his seat there.

he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain, by themselves apart.

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

When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.

"So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might ensnare him during conversation.

"You say, too, that whoever swears by the offering that is upon it, his oath is binding.

"Then will the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.

The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them;

but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

"'For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

"I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, or in prison, and you visited me not.'

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to his disciples, saying, "Take, eat, this is my body."

And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be in anguish and sore distress,

And when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how they might put him to death.

The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."

Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;

So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."

Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.

And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.

At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.

In like manner the chief priests, too, with the Scribes and elders, kept taunting him.

At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.

So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.

So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

"Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."

The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

From Judea, too, and Jerusalem, and Idumea, and from beyond Jordan, and from the district of Tyre and Sidon, they came to him a vast multitude, because they heard what he was doing.

So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.

"The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.

Then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

When John's disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.

So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man's ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;

They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

This he told them quite openly. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.

But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stood up.

Then Jesus took a little child, set it among them, and folding it in his arms, he said,

Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.

They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.

"So they took him and killed him, and threw his body out of the vineyard.

Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned him, saying.

And last of all the woman too died. In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the seven had her as wife."

Then Jesus took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums.

And as they were eating he took bread, and after the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "Take it, this is my body."

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank of it,

Then he took Peter and James and John with him, and began to be full of terror and distress;

"Rabbi," and kissed him. Then they laid hands on him and took him.

Then they took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and elders and Scribes came with him.

Then they all condemn him to be worthy of death. Some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him while striking him and saying, "Prophesy." The officers, too, received him into custody with blows.

She looked at him, and said, "You too were with the Nazarene, Jesus."

As soon as it was down, after the high priests had conferred with the elders and the whole Sanhedrin, they bound Jesus, and took him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

So Joseph bought him a sheet, and took Jesus down, wound him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and then rolled a stone against the opening of the tomb;

They too went, and told the others; but they did not believe them, either.

And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,

he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,

But he, passing through the midst of them, took his departure.

"Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."

And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God.

"How he entered into God's house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?

And awe took hold on them all, and they began to glorify God saying. "A great prophet has risen among us;" and, "God has visited his people."

But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"

On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.

About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.

And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;

"He went to him bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine. He set him on his own beast, and took him to an inn, and took care of him.

"The next day he took two silver pieces and gave them to the landlord and said, "'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will repay it to you on my way back.'

"It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."

"It is like leaven which a took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."

They kept silent. Then Jesus took him and healed him and let him go.

"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.

"'Let him earnestly warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.'

Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.

"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,

"and the second and third took her,
