He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.

They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.

Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh's anger comes on you.

When you eat, and when you drink, don't you eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

Aren't these the words which Yahweh proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?'"

For thus says Yahweh of Armies: "As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath," says Yahweh of Armies, "and I didn't repent;

It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

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

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

"Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does,

"When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

"Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;

It happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,

When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel.

When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.

Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

But when they deliver you up, don't be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

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

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons."

But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn't find it.

Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn't understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear.

But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,

"Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing -- and they glorified the God of Israel.
