But he said with more vehement assertion, Though I should die with thee, yet would I in no wise deny thee. And they all spake also in the same manner.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

And Jesus addressing them said, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to apprehend me?

But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?

Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?

and seeing Peter warming himself, stedfastly looking at him, she said, Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

Then he denied it again. And after a little while, they who stood by said to Peter, Of a certainty thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is correspondent.

And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? He answering said to him, Thou sayest true.

Then Pilate addressing them, said unto them again, What therefore do you wish that I should do with him whom ye call the king of the Jews?

Then Pilate said unto them, But what criminal act hath he done? And they cried the more vociferously, Crucify him.

And in the same manner also, the chief priests mocking him, among each other, with the scribes, said, He saved others, himself he cannot save.

And some of those who stood by, hearing him, said, Behold, he crieth for Elias.

And the centurion, who stood opposite to him, observing, that with such a cry he gave up the ghost, said, Assuredly this was the Son of God.

And said among themselves, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

And they going out hastily, fled from the sepulchre, for trembling and astonishment had seized them: and they said not a word to any person, for they were affrighted.

And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife far advanced in her age.

And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to proclaim these glad tidings to thee.

And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God.

And Mary said, How shall this be, seeing I know not man?

And the angel answering said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; wherefore also the Holy One that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God.

Then said Mary, Behold a servant of the Lord, be it to me according to thy declaration. And the angel departed from her.

and she exclaimed with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John.

And they said to her, There is not one among thy relations, who is called by this name.

And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.

And it came to pass, as the angels went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath made known to us.

and he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall, and rising again of many in Israel; and for a marked object to be spoken against;

And when they saw him, they were struck with surprise; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou behaved to us in this manner? lo! thy father and I have been seeking thee in anguish of heart.

And he said unto them, Wherefore did ye seek me? did you not know, that I must be occupied with my Father's affairs?

He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath?

And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner.

Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you.

And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay.

And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become a loaf.

and the devil said unto him, I will give thee all this authority, and the glory of these; for to me it is delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.

And Jesus answering him, said, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him alone shalt thou pay divine honour."

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy self down from hence:

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

And all concurred in their testimony to him, and marvelled at the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

And he said unto them, Ye will probably say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself! the works which we have heard to have been performed by thee at Capernaum, do the like here in thy own country.

But he said, Verily, I say unto you, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

But he said unto them, I must preach the glad tidings of the kingdom of heaven in other cities also: for on this service am I sent.

And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Go off into deep water, and shoot your nets for a draught.

And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net.

as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men.

And Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts?

And after these things he went out, and saw a farmer of the taxes, named Levi, sitting at the custom-house: and he said unto him, Follow me.

And Jesus answering said unto them, They who are well, have no need of a physician: but they who have illness.

Then said they unto him, Why do the disciples of John observe frequent fasts, and make prayers; but thine are eating and drinking?

And he said unto them, Can you make the children of the bridechamber fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them?

Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath-day?

And Jesus answering said to them; Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day.

Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it?

And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Then Jesus, on hearing these things, respected him highly, and turning to the multitude which was following him, he said, I tell you, I have not found such faith, even in Israel.

And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said unto her, Weep not.

And approaching, he touched the bier: and the bearers stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.

And Jesus addressing them, said, Go, tell John what things ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached unto them.

And the Lord said, To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

And when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of a woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a notorious sinner.

And Jesus addressing himself to him said, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he said, Master, speak freely.

And Simon answering said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly.

So turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thine house, even water for my feet thou gavest not; but she hath washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven.

But he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend.

Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.

But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not.

Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.

Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.

And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each.

Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead:

And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

Now the day began to decline: and the twelve coming to him, said, Dismiss the multitude, that going away into the villages and farms round about, they may lodge and find provision; for here we are in a desert place.

Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude:

for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies.

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but some Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.

And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said unto Jesus, it is well that we are here, and we will make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.

Then Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy son.

And they were all struck with amazement at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.

Then John addressing him said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followed not with us.
