And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.

And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,

You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.

And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.

And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

Then Jerusalem and all Judaea went out to him, and all the people from near Jordan;

But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

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.

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

You have knowledge that it was said, You may not have connection with another man's wife:

And if your right eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

And if your right hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off and put it away from you; because it is better to undergo the loss of one part, than for all your body to go into hell.

Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:

Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King.

You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

You have knowledge that it was said, Have love for your neighbour, and hate for him who is against you:

For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?

When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

But if your eye is evil, all your body will be dark. If then the light which is in you is dark, how dark it will be!

See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean.

Saying, Lord, my servant is ill in bed at the house, with no power in his body, and in great pain.

Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

But the sons of the kingdom will be put out into the dark, and there will be weeping and cries of pain.

And Jesus said to the captain, Go in peace; as your faith is, so let it be done to you. And the servant was made well in that hour.

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;

And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

And the evil spirits made strong prayers to him, saying, If you send us out, let us go into the herd of pigs.

And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

And Jesus, having knowledge of what was in their minds, said, Why are your thoughts evil?

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

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.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

And no man puts a bit of new cloth on an old coat, for by pulling away from the old, it makes a worse hole.

And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

He said, Make room; for the girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they were laughing at him.

But when the people were sent out, he went in and took her by the hand; and the girl got up.

And the news of it went out into all that land.

And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

Then he put his hand on their eyes, saying, As your faith is, let it be done to you.

And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it.

But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

Make prayer, then, to the Lord of the grain-fields, that he may send out workers to get in his grain.

And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.
