And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.

And they having gone away, behold, the angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying; Having arisen, take the young child and His mother, and fly into Egypt; and be thou there until I may speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child in order to destroy Him.

And having arisen, he took with him the young child and His mother by night and departed into Egypt;

and was there until the death of Herod: in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying; Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked by the wise men, became exceedingly angry; and having sent forth, he slew all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its boundaries, from two years old and under, according to the time which he inquired with the wise men.

Then the word having been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying:

And John continued to forbid Him saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou unto me?

Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.

And having left Nazareth, having come into Capernaum, by the seaside, in the borders of Zabulon and Naphtali, He dwelt there;

in order that the word having been spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

And He walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting their net into the sea; for they were fishers.

Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.

Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.

Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.

Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.

For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.

Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder shall be in danger of the judgment;

but I say unto you that every one being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a hell of fire.

leave there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your gift.

Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison.

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

nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.

But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one.

in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

But take heed that you do not your righteousness before the people, in order to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens:

therefore when you may do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be glorified by the people: truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward.

in order that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who sees in secret will reward thee openly.

And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites: because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, in order that they may appear unto the people. Truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward.

And praying do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think they shall be heard in their much speaking.

Therefore be not like unto them: for your Father knows of what things you have need, before you ask him.

Therefore pray ye after this manner: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be hallowed:

let thy kingdom come: let thy will be done, as in heaven, even so upon earth:

And when you may fast, be not like the hypocrites, of a sad contenance: for they disfigure their faces, in order that they may appear unto the people fasting. Truly I say unto you, They exhaust their reward.

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

For the light of the body is the eye. If thine eye may be clear, thy whole body will he lighted.

If thine eye may be bad, thy whole body will be dark. Then if the light which is in you is darkness, the darkness is so great.

Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul what you may eat, nor for your body what you may put on. Is not your soul more valuable than food, and your body than raiment?

Therefore be not solicitous, saying, What can we eat? or what can we drink? or with what can we be clothed?

But seek first the kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Therefore be not solicitous unto the morrow: for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Criticise not, that you may not be criticised.

For with what criticism you criticise, you will be criticised: and with what measure you measure, it will be measured unto you.

Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

For every one asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking it shall be opened.

You shall know them by their fruits. Do the people gather the grape-bunches from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Therefore you shall know them perfectly by their fruits.

And the centurion responding said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou mayest come in under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and let it be done unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed at that hour.

And it being evening, they brought to Him many demonized people: and He cast out the demons by His word, and healed all the sick;

in order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, He took our infirmities, and carried our sicknesses.

And behold, there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and He was asleep.

And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.

And the woman was saved from that hour. And Jesus turning and seeing her said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee.

And when the crowd was put out, coming to her, He took her by the hand, and the damsel arose.

Then He touched their eyes, saying, Be it unto you according to your faith.

And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you.

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

It is sufficient for the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant, as his lord: if they call the landlord Beelzebul, how much more the inmates of his house?

Therefore fear them not; for there is nothing hidden, that shall not be revealed; nothing secret, that shall not be known.

Be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but fear ye, rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

and the enemies of a man will be the inmates of his own house.

and blessed is he, whosoever may not be offended in me.

And they departing, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out in the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous and wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners. Wisdom is truly justified by her children.

Moreover I say unto you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shall be cast down to Hades: because if the mighty works which were wrought in thee had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Moreover I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

All things were delivered unto me by my Father: and no one perfectly knows the Son, except the Father; neither does any one perfectly know the Father, except the Son; and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.

In order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

lf I through Beelzebul cast out demons, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

Therefore I say unto you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven unto him: but whosoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven unto him, either in this age, or that which is to come.

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by the fruit.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shah be condemned.

He responding, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign shall be given unto it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

For as Jonah was in the stomach of the whale three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

Then he goes, and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and having come in dwells there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So it will also be with this wicked generation.
