saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him."

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all its region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee.

"It has also been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'

And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel."

Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

"All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been instructed for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

But he said to them, "Not all men can accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given.

And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'

He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.

And if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.'

For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and given to the poor."

The Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those outside everything is in parables;

for he had often been bound with shackles and chains. But the chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the man who had been possessed sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged him that he might be with him.

King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some said, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these powers are at work in him."

But when Herod heard, he said, "This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!"

"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he been like this?" And he said, "From childhood.

but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."

For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply.

For the Son of Man goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."

But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

Then he bought fine linen, took him down, and wrapped him in the linen. And he laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, though it was very large, had been rolled away.

She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

And when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been fulfilled among us,

so that you may know the certainty of the things which you have been taught.

Now when they had seen him, they made widely known the saying which had been told them concerning this child.

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."

And he said to him, "To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God.

And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

(And when they heard him, all the people, even the tax collectors, justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out,

he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but to others it is given in parables, so that 'Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

Those who had seen it told them how he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

But he who did not know, and committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask the more.

And at the time of the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come, for all is now ready.'

And the servant said, 'Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.'

But he answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have been serving you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.

If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will trust you with the true riches?

And if you have not been faithful in what is another's, who will give you what is your own?

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, be in authority over ten cities.'

For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!"

That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;

a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.

And he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.

Then he took it down and wrapped it in linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.

And Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God."

For John had not yet been put in prison.

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him.

One man who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in that place.

On the next day the people who remained on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.

And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father."

Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free'?"

They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight.

So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory; we know that this man is a sinner."

Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.

So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days."

His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
