And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.

And in that day his feet will be on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will be parted in the middle to the east and to the west, forming a very great valley; and half the mountain will be moved to the north and half of it to the south.

And in that day there will be no heat or cold or ice;

And on that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them flowing to the sea on the east and half to the sea on the west: in summer and in winter it will be so.

And the Lord will be King over all the earth: in that day there will be one Lord and his name one.

And it will be on that day that a great fear will be sent among them from the Lord; and everyone will take his neighbour's hand, and every man's hand will be lifted against his neighbour's.

And it will come about that everyone who is still living, of all those nations who came against Jerusalem, will go up from year to year to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, and to keep the feast of tents.

And it will be that if any one of all the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, on them there will be no rain.

On that day all the bells of the horses will be holy to the Lord, and the pots in the Lord's house will be like the basins before the altar.

And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of armies: and all those who make offerings will come and take them for boiling their offerings: in that day there will be no more traders in the house of the Lord of armies.

And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.

And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.

He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.

See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.

And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

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 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.

And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

And they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying openly that they had done wrong.

And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

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.

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

So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house.

Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

For I say to you, If your righteousness is not greater than the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.

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:

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

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.

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

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

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.

But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

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 let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

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

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

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

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.

So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

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.

And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

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?

But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

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 Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

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.

So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

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

But so that you may see that on earth the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins, (then said he to the man who was ill,) Get up, and take up your bed, and go to your house.

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.

But Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, Daughter, take heart; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

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

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

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

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

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.

It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

But I say to you that it will be better for the land of Sodom in the day of judging, than for you.

At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.
