As he spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets from the beginning;

salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,

to grant unto us, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, to serve Him without fear,

through the bowels of mercy of our God, in which the dayspring from on high looked upon us,

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city Nazareth, into Judea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

because this day a Savior is born unto you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.

And it came to pass, when the angels departed from them into heaven, indeed, the shepherds said to one another; Now let us go unto Bethlehem and see this word which has taken place, which the Lord made known to us.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all things which they heard and saw, as it was spoken to them.

as it was written in the law of the Lord; That every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and godly, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him;

And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother; Behold, he is appointed unto the fall and rising of many in Israel, and unto a sign which is spoken against;

And thinking that He is in the crowd, they came a day's journey, and were seeking Him among His relatives and acquaintances.

And seeing Him they were astonished, and His mother said to Him; Child, why did you thus do unto us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee, sorrowful.

as has been written in the book of Isaiah the prophet, saying; The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.

But truly the ax is laid to the root of the trees; Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into His garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Then indeed exhorting them as to many other things he continued to preach the gospel to the people.

And Jesus was beginning to be about thirty years old, being as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli,

And the Book of Isaiah the prophet was given to Him; and having opened the book, He found the place where it was written,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised,

And they all continued to witness to Him, and wonder at the words of grace proceeding out from His mouth: and say, Is not this the son of Joseph?

And He said to them, You truly speak to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: so many things as we heard having been done in Capernaum, do also here in thy own country.

And He said, Truly I say unto you, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

saying, Let me alone; what is there to us and to thee, O Jesus the Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And fear came upon them all, and they were talking together to one another, saying, What word is this? because with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

And the sun having gone down, all so many as had people afflicted with various diseases continued to lead them to Him; and He having put His hands on each one of them, healed them.

And it came to pass, while the multitude is pressing on Him to hear the word of God, and He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;

and they beckoned to their comrades in another ship, having come to assist them, And they came, and filled both ships, so as to sink them.

And it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, and behold, there is a man full of leprosy: and seeing Jesus, having fallen on his face, he prayed to Him, saying, Lord, if you may will it, you are able to cleanse me.

And He commanded him to tell no one: but having gone away, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, Who is this one who speaketh blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God only?

Which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven unto thee; or, to say. Arise and walk about?

And He said to them, Whether are you able to make the sons of the bridechamber to fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

but the new wine is to be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.

No one drinking the old immediately wishes the new; for he says, The old is better.

And certain ones of the Pharisees said to them, Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?

How he entered into the house of God, and how he took the shewbread, and ate it, and gave it to those with him; which is not lawful to eat, except the priests only?

And He said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath also.

And it came to pass on another Sabbath, that He came into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there, whose right hand was withered.

And Jesus said to them, I will ask you; What is lawful on the Sabbath; to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy?

And He lifting up His eyes to His disciples, said, Blessed are ye poor: because the kingdom of God is yours.

Blessed are ye, when the people may hate you, and when they may separate you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of man.

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold your reward in heaven is great: for according to these things were their fathers accustomed to do to the prophets.

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who despitefully use you.

And as you wish that the people may do unto you, do ye unto them even likewise.

If you love those who love you, what grace is there to you? for even sinners love those who love them.

And if you may do good to those doing good to you, what grace is there to you? for sinners also do the same.

And if you may lend to those from whom you may hope to receive, what grace is there to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive back the equivalent.

Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked.

Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is indeed merciful.

And He spoke a parable unto them, Whether is the blind able to lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?

The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one having been made perfect shall be as his teacher.

But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?

Or how are you able to say to your brother; Brother, permit me, I will cast out the mote which is in thine eye, yourself not seeing the beam which is in your own eye? O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote which is in the eye of your brother.

For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.

For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart brings forth that which is wicked: for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.

Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing the same, I will show you to whom he is like.

He is like unto a man building a house, who dug and went down deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock: and there being a flood, the river broke against that house, and it was not able to shake it; for it was founded on the rock.

But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.

And they, having come to Jesus, continued to entreat Him earnestly, saying, That he to whom He will do this is worthy:

for he loves our race, and himself built for us a synagogue.

And fear seized them all: and they continued to glorify God, saying that, A great prophet has arisen among us: and, God has looked upon His people.

And the men having come to Him, said; John the Baptist sent us to thee, saving; Art thou the one coming, or must we expect another?

and happy is he whosoever may not be offended in me.

This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.

I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

Truly wisdom is justified by her children.

Behold, a woman who was a sinner, in the city, also having learned that He is dining in the house of the Pharisee, breaking an alabaster box of myrrh,

And the Pharisee, having invited Him, seeing, spoke within himself, saying, If He were a prophet, He would know who and what kind the woman is, who touches Him, because she is a sinner.

Therefore I say unto thee, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but he to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.

And those sitting along with Him began to say among themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.

And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, which may not be made known and come into the light.

And it came to pass on one of the days, He and His disciples went into a ship. And He said to them, Let us go to the other side of the lake. And they were embarked.

And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, because He commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him?

And they sailed into the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.

And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray thee torment me not.

And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him.

And Jesus said, Who is the one having touched me? And all denying, Peter and the disciples with Him said, The multitudes crowd thee and press upon thee, and dost thou say, Who is the one having touched me?

And He yet speaking, a certain one comes from the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher:

And they were all weeping, and wailing over her: and He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

And so many as may not receive you, going out from that city, knock off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them.

And Herod the tetrarch heard all things which were wrought by Him; and was at a loss, because it was said by some, that John is risen from the dead;

and by some that Elijah has appeared; and by others that one of the old prophets is arisen.

And Herod said, I beheaded John: but who is this, concerning whom I hear these things? And he was seeking to see Him.

And He said to them, You give them to eat. And they said, There is not to us more than five loaves and two fishes; if not having gone we must purchase victuals for all this people.

They responding said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen.

For what is a man profited, gaining the whole world, and losing or forfeiting himself?

It came to pass when they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he says.

And there was a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him. And while the voice is heard, Jesus is found alone.

And behold, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I pray thee look upon my son, because he is to me an only child:

You place these words in your ears: for the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.

And a dispute came in among them, as to which one of them might be the greater.

and said to them, Whosoever may receive this little child in my name receives me; and whosoever may receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is least among you all, the same shall be great.

And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.

And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.

And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is worthy of the kingdom of God.

And He said to them, The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few: therefore pray you the Lord of the harvest, that He may send forth laborers into His harvest.
