And fear came upon all those dwelling around them. And in all the hill country of Judea all these sayings were being much talked of;

And all were going to be enrolled, each to his own city.

And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled for her to give birth;

And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly frightened.

And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into Heaven, that the shepherds were saying one to another, "Let us go over at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord made known to us."

And, when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising Him, His name was called Jesus??hich was so called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

And, when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, to present Him to the Lord,

And the multitudes were asking him, saying, "What, then, shall we do?"

And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no one, neither accuse any one falsely, and be content with your wages."

And, as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he himself were the Christ,

Now it came to pass, when all the people were immersed, that as Jesus also was immersed, and was praying, Heaven was opened,

forty days, being tempted by the Devil. And He ate nothing in those days; and, when they were completed, He hungered.

And, having closed the book. He gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on Him.

And all were bearing witness to Him, and were wondering at the words of grace which proceeded out of His mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's Son?"

But of a truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;

"And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and no one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian."

And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, on hearing these things;

and they were astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.

And amazement came upon all; and they were talking together, one with another, saying, "What is this word, that with authority and power He commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

And, day coming on, going forth, He went into a desert place; and the multitudes were seeking after Him, and came to Him, and were trying to restrain Him from going away from them.

and He saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen, having gone out of them, were washing their nets.

And, doing this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking.

And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.

and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not; henceforth you will catch men."

But the report concerning Him was going abroad the more; and many multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching; and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present with Him to heal.

And, behold, men bearing on a couch a man who was a paralytic, and they were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him.

And astonishment seized them all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We saw wonderful things to-day!"

And Levi made a great reception for Him in his house; and there was a great multitude of tax-collectors and of others who were reclining at table with them.

And the Pharisees and their scribes were murmuring against the disciples, saying, "Why are ye eating and drinking with the tax-collectors and sinners?"

And it came to pass on a sabbath, that He was going through grainfields; and His disciples were plucking and eating the heads of grain, rubbing them with their hands.

And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, whether He would heal on the sabbath: that they might find how to accuse Him.

But they were filled with madness, and were conferring one with another as to what they should do to Jesus.

and, descending with them, He stood upon a level place; and a large multitude of His disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, were present, who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases;

and those troubled with unclean spirits were being healed;

and all the multitude were seeking to touch Him; because power was coming forth from Him, and was healing them all.

"Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward is great in Heaven; for, after the same manner, were their fathers wont to do to the prophets.

"Woe to you when all men speak well of you; for in this same manner were their fathers wont to do to the false prophets.

And they, coming to Jesus, were earnestly beseeching Him, saying, "He is worthy for whom Thou shalt do this;

And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the servant well.

And it came to pass soon afterwards that He went to a city called Nain; and there were going with Him His disciples, and a large multitude.

And fear seized on all; and they were glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet was raised up among us," and "God did visit His people."

But, seeing it, the Pharisee who invited Him, spake in himself, saying, "This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what sort of woman this is that is touching Him, because she is a sinner."

"There were two debtors to a certain money-lender. The one owed five hundred denaries; and the other, fifty.

And it came to pass soon afterwards, that He was passing through by city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God; and the twelve were with Him;

and Joanna wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them of their substance.

And, when a large multitude was coming together, and those from city after city were coming to Him, He spake through a parable:

And His disciples were asking Him, what this parable might be.

But, as they were sailing, He fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were being filled full of water, and were in peril.

And they were entreating Him, that He would not command them to go away into the abyss.

And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.

And they went out to see what had taken place; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons went out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and having his right mind; and they were afraid.

And the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them; because they were being constrained by great fear. And He, entering into a boat, returned.

And, as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed Him; for they were all expecting Him.

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying! But, as He was going away, the multitudes were thronging.

And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched Me?" And, when all were denying, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes are thronging Thee, and hard pressing Thee!"

And they were all weeping, and bewailing her; but He said, "Weep not; for she did not die, but is sleeping."

And they were deriding Him, knowing that she died.

And her parents were astonished. But He charged them to tell no one what had taken place.

And, going forth, they were passing through the several villages, proclaiming the good news, and healing everywhere.

Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all the things that were taking place; and he was thoroughly perplexed, because it was said by some that John was raised from the dead;

But He said to them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we, going, should buy food for all this people." (For they were about five thousand men).

And they ate, and were all filled. And there was taken up that which remained to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the multitudes say that I am?"

And, behold, two men were talking with Him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah;

who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

Now Peter and those with him had become heavy with sleep; but, having watched through it, they saw His glory, and the two men who were standing with Him.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah;" not knowing what he was saying.

and I besought Thy disciples to cast it out, but they were not able."

And they were all amazed at the Majesty of God! And while all were marvelling at all the things which He was doing, He said to His disciples,

But they did not understand this saying; and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this saying.

And it came to pass, when the days for receiving Him up were being completed, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem;

And they did not receive Him, because His face was as if He were going to Jerusalem.

And, as they were journeying in the way, a certain one said to Him, "I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou goest."

"All things were delivered up to Me by My Father; and no one knows Who the Son is, but the Father; and Who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son purposeth to reveal Him."

Now, as they were going on their way, He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received Him into her house.

And others, tempting, were seeking of Him a sign from heaven.

And, if Satan also were divided against himself, how would his kingdom stand? because ye say that by Beelzebub I am casting out the demons!

And as the multitudes were gathering together to Him, He began to say, "This generation is an evil generation: it is seeking a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.

"Woe to you lawyers; because ye took away the Key of Knowledge; ye yourselves entered not in, and those who were entering ye hindered."

"I came to cast fire on the earth; and what wish I, if it were already kindled?

And there were some present, at that very season, who reported to Him concerning the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.

And, answering, He said to them, "Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things?

Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, suppose ye that they were offenders above all the men dwelling in Jerusalem?

And, when He said these things, all those opposing Him were being put to shame, and all the multitude were rejoicing because of all the glorious things which were being done by Him.

And it came to pass, when He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him.

But they were silent. And, taking hold of him, He healed him, and let him go;

And they were not able to return an answer to these things.

And He spake a parable to those who were bidden, when He observed how they were choosing out the first seats; saying to them,

Now there were journeying with Him great multitudes; and, turning, He said to them,

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him.

And both the scribes and the Pharisees were murmuring, saying, "This Man receiveth sinners and eateth with them!"

And he was longing to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and no one was giving to him.

If, therefore, ye were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?

And, if ye were not faithful in that which is another's, who will give to you your own?

And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly mocking Him.

"The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presses into it by force!

and desiring to be fed with the crumbs falling from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

It were profitable for him, if a millstone were placed about his neck, and he thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
