You have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet you say, In what have we wearied Him? When you say, Every evildoer is good in the eyes of Jehovah, and He delights in them; or, Where is the God of justice?

But who can endure 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.

And I will come near you to judgment. And I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those who extort from the hired laborer's wages, and turning away the widow, and the orphan, the alien, and not fearing Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.

From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes, and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says Jehovah of Hosts. But you say. In what way shall we return?

Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say, In what have we robbed You? In the tithe and the offering!

Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house. And test Me now with this, says Jehovah of Hosts, to see if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you, and pour out a blessing for you, until there is not enough room.

Your words have been strong against Me, says Jehovah. Yet you say, What have we spoken against You?

Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God, and him who does not serve Him.

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations. And from David until the carrying away into Babylon, fourteen generations. And from the carrying away into Babylon until Christ, fourteen generations.

Now all this happened so that might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the LORD by the prophet, saying,

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it is written by the prophet,

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

When they had heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star which they saw in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

And coming into the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother. And they fell down and worshiped Him. And opening their treasures, they presented gifts to Him, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

And he was there until the death of Herod; so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called My Son."

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was greatly enraged. And he sent and killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully inquired of the wise men.

saying, Arise, and take the child and His mother. And go into the land of Israel. For the ones who sought the child's life are dead.

But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

And he came and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

And the same John had his clothing of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

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

And Jesus, when He had been baptized, went up immediately out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him.

so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations!

The people who sat in darkness saw a great Light; and Light has sprung up to those who sat in the region and shadow of death."

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent! For the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

And walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea. For they were fishermen.

And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them;

Blessed are the pure in heart! For they shall see God.

Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward in Heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

For truly I say to you, Till the heaven and the earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass from the Law until all is fulfilled.

Therefore whoever shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven. But whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.

For I say to you that unless your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell.

Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out from there until you have paid the last kodrantes.

But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is put away commits adultery.

But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne;

But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

And to him desiring to sue you, and to take away your tunic, let him have your coat 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 despitefully use you and persecute you,

so that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven. For He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax-collectors do so?

Therefore when you do your merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites 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 merciful deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret Himself shall reward you openly.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

And when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, of a sad face. For they disfigure their faces so that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

so that you do not appear to men to fast, but to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.

Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Behold the birds of the air; for they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them; are you not much better than they are?

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

Therefore if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much rather clothe you, little-faiths?

And why do you look on the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull the splinter out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?

Hypocrite! First cast the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother's eye.

Therefore all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?

And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!

And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest. And offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, Go! And he goes; and to another, Come! And he comes; and to my servant, Do this! And he does it.

When Jesus heard, He marvelled and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.

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

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go. And as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his boy was healed in that hour.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother laid out and in a fever.

so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took on Himself our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses."

And behold, a great tempest arose in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

And He said to them, Why are you afraid, little-faiths? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

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

And when He had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one might pass by that way.

And He said to them, Go! And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea and perished in the waters.

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged that He would depart out of their borders.

For which is easier? To say, Your sins are forgiven you, or to say, Arise and walk!

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, then He said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.

But when the crowds saw, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

And as Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax-office. And He said to him, Follow Me! And he arose and followed Him.

And when the Pharisees saw, they said to His disciples, Why does your master eat with tax-collectors and sinners?

And Jesus arose and followed him. And so did His disciples.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See, let no one know.

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

And you will be hated of all men for My name's sake, but the one who endures to the end shall be kept safe.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another; for truly I say to you, In no way shall you have finished the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

And a man's foes shall be those of his own household.

He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a just one in the name of a just one will receive a just one's reward.

And whoever shall give to one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink, only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, He shall in no way lose his reward.

Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John again those things which you hear and see:

And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, they who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet.

Truly I say to you, Among those who have been born of women there has not risen a greater one than John the Baptist. But the least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man who is a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners. But wisdom was justified by her children.

But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

But when the Pharisees saw, they said to Him, Behold, your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day.
