Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan,

whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he shall thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and shall gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

But Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers him.

Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

and he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And Jesus went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

And his fame went out into the whole of Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shines for all who are in the house.

For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all come to pass.

But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell.

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

And whoever will compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.

so that thine alms may be in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render it to thee.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who sees in secret will render it to thee.

let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth;

For if ye forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father also will forgive you yours,

but if ye do not forgive men their offences, neither will your Father forgive your offences.

for where thy treasure is, there will be also thy heart.

The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body will be light:

but if thine eye be wicked, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great the darkness!

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

but I say unto you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much rather you, O ye of little faith?

for all these things the nations seek after; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Allow me, I will cast out the mote from thine eye; and behold, the beam is in thine eye?

Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;

and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?

Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do ye also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Not every one who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that does the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.

Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;

And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him.

And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill;

And a scribe came up and said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou mayest go.

And he said to them, Go. And they, going out, departed into the herd of swine; and lo, the whole herd of swine rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the waters.

And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts.

But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

But go and learn what that is I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;

and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.

but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.

Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also will confess him before my Father who is in the heavens.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.

For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.

Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal him.

Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

But if ye had known what is: I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

But he said to them, What man shall there be of you who has one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it and raise it up?

How much better then is a man than a sheep! So that it is lawful to do well on the sabbath.

But Jesus knowing it, withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this man the Son of David?

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not subsist.

Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless first he bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.

Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds it unoccupied, swept, and adorned.

But while he was yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

for whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.

Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.

which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,

so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the world's foundation.

The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;

The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.

and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.

Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?

and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

And I also, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.

And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to each according to his doings.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste of death at all until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones should perish.
