Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for lo! your reward is great in heaven; for thus their fathers did to the prophets.

But woe to you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Woe to you that are full now! for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye will mourn and weep.

To him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every one that asketh of thee; and from him that taketh away thy goods, demand them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also in like manner to them.

And why dost thou look at the mote in thy brothers eye, and not perceive the beam that is in thine own eye?

How canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me take out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brothers eye.

For there is no good tree that beareth bad fruit; and again, there is no bad tree that beareth good fruit.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.

Every one that cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them, I will show you whom he is like.

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream dashed against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built.

But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream dashed, and it fell at once, and the ruin of that house was great.

And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;

And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.

And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.

And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.

And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;

I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisees house, brought an alabasterbottle of ointment,

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

And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,

And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundredfold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [these things are spoken] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.

Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.

And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;

and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.

And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets hath risen.

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

For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said.

And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.

and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.

But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.

And it came to pass, when the time was near for his being received up, that he himself steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem.

and heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God hath come near to you.

Even the dust of your city that cleaveth to our feet we wipe off to you; but know this, that the kingdom of God hath come near.

And I tell you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

Yet rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names have been written in heaven.

In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. And turning to the disciples he said,

And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye are seeing.

For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye are seeing, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye are hearing, and heard them not.

And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?

And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me.

And it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, that when he ceased one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.

and forgive us our sins, for even we ourselves forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.

For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.

And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, when the demon had gone out, that the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes wondered.

And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For ye say that I cast out the demons through Beelzebul.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Then it goeth, and taketh with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in, and dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.

And it came to pass, as he was saying these things, that a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts from which thou drewest nourishment.

But he said, Blessed rather are they that hear the word of God and keep it.

No one when he has lighted a lamp, puts it into a secret place, or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that they who come in may see the light.

Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness.

And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not bathe before dinner.

that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

In the mean time, when the multitude was gathered together in myriads, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; and hid, that will not be known.

And I say to you, Every one that acknowledgeth me before men, him will the Son of man also acknowledge before the angels of God.

But he that hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but to him that hath blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.

Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse, nor barn; and God feedeth them. Of how much greater value are ye than the birds!

If then ye cannot do even that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?

Consider the lilies, that they neither spin nor weave; and yet I say to you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Sell what ye have, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which wax not old, treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, nor moth destroyeth.

and be yourselves like men waiting for the return of their lord from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.

Happy are those servants, whom their lord when he cometh shall find watching; truly do I say to you, that he will gird himself, and place them at table, and will come and wait on them.

And be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
