And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, LORD i

And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. In summer and in winter it shall be.

All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tow

And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as that plague.

In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY TO LORD, and the pots in LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

I have loved you, says LORD. Yet ye say, How have thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother, says LORD. Yet I loved Jacob,

And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, LORD be magnified beyond the border of Israel.

A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? says LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And ye say, How have we despised thy na

Ye offer polluted bread upon my altar. And ye say, How have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of LORD is contemptible.

And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [ye say,] It is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, It is no evil! Present it now to thy governor. Will he be pleased with thee, or will he accept thy person? says LORD of hosts.

[Ye say,] And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us; this has been by your means. Will he accept any of your persons? says LORD of hosts.

But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of LORD is polluted. And the fruit of it, even its food, is contemptible.

Ye also say, Behold, what a weariness it is! And ye have sniffed at it, says LORD of hosts. And ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick. Thus ye bring the offering. Should I accept this at your

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth. For he is the messenger of LORD of hosts.

Yet ye say, Why? Because LORD has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou have dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

Ye have wearied LORD with your words. Yet ye say, How have we wearied him? In that ye say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of LORD, and he delights in them, or Where is the God of justice?

But who can abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.

From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says LORD of hosts. But ye say, How shall we return?

Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Your words have been stout against me, says LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David to the Babylonian exile fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian exile to the Christ fourteen generations.

Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.

And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.

And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was scorned by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and having sent forth, he killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that

After rising, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the child's life have died.

And having come, he dwelt in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, that he will be called a Nazarene.

Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?

And think not to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

And when Jesus was immersed, he went up straightaway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him.

And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.

And having left Nazareth behind, after coming, he dwelt in Capernaum by the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And having gone on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them.

Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.

Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for so they persecuted the prophets before you.

Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.

For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.

Whoever therefore may relax one of these least commandments, and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever may do and may teach them, this man will be called great in the kingdom of the he

For I say to you, that unless your righteousness abounds more than of the scholars and Pharisees, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to

Truly I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid the last quadran.

But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.

But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

But I say to you, not to resist what is troublesome, but whoever will strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

so that thy charity may be in secret. And thy Father who sees in secret will himself reward thee in the open.

And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love to pray having stood in the synagogues and in the corners of the thoroughfares, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

And when ye fast, become not like the gloomy looking hypocrites, for they make their faces unsightly, so that they may appear fasting to men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

so that thou may not appear fasting to men, but to thy Father in secret. And thy Father, who sees in secret, will reward thee.

Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?

Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they?

yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more you, O ye of little faith?

And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not notice the beam in thine own eye?

Or how will thou say to thy brother, Let me take out the speck from thine eye, and behold, the beam in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck from thy brother's eye.

All things therefore, as many as ye may want that men should do to you, so also do ye to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

But beware of FALSE prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are predatory wolves.

So then from their fruits ye will know them.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

And Jesus says to him, See thou speak to no man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does it.

And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.

And I say to you, that many will come from east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens,

And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law, having been laid down, and feverish.

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.

Now when Jesus saw many multitudes around him, he commanded to depart to the other side.

And behold, a great tempest developed in the sea, so as for the boat to be covered by the waves, but he was sleeping.

And he says to them, Why are ye cowardly, O ye of little faith? Then after rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there became a great calm.

But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

And upon his coming to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two men being demon possessed met him, coming out of the sepulchers, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.

And he said to them, Go. And having come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of the swine stampeded down the slope into the sea, and perished in the waters.

For which is easier, to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk?

But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who gave such authority to men.

And passing forth from there, Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And he says to him, Follow me. And after rising, he followed him.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?

And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and having seen the minstrels, and the crowd making a commotion,

And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly warned them, saying, See that no man knows it.

And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

But when he saw the multitudes, he felt compassion for them, because they were troubled and dejected, as sheep having no shepherd.

And having called in his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every disease.

Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.

And a man's foes, are those of his own household.
