And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child's life.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

The people who sat in darkness saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.

Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

For if you love them who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tax collectors the same?

Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

Take heed that you give not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father who is in heaven.

That your alms may be in secret: and your Father who sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.

But you, when you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

After this manner therefore pray: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.

That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you openly.

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be who go in there:

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:

And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

But when the multitude saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

And, behold, a woman, who was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go from there.

For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks through you.

And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father who is in heaven.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.

And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come.

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?

And, behold, there was a man who had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.

But he that received seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; who also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were from Jerusalem, saying,

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

He said unto them, But whom say you that I am?

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto you, but my Father who is in heaven.

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.

He said, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus preceded him, saying, What think you, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would take account of his servants.

And when he had begun the reckoning, one was brought unto him, who owed him ten thousand talents.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.

And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female,

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her who is put away does commit adultery.

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, only they to whom it is given.

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs of men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

And he said unto them, You shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

And when he came into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:

They said unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other tenants, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them who are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

Then said he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were bidden were not worthy.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment:

The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him, and saying,

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.

Woe unto you, you blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is bound!

And whoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells therein.

And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits thereon.

You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Therefore you are witnesses unto yourselves, that you are the children of them who killed the prophets.

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.

For I say unto you, you shall not see me again, till you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Then let them who are in Judea flee into the mountains:

Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:

Neither let him who is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them food at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
