But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit,

And when Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took his wife,

Where is the king of the Jews born? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.

And Herod the king hearing this was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet;

and sending them to Bethlehem, said, Go and inquire diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, tell me, that I also may come and worship him.

and coming into the house they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they presented him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan,

and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

But, he refused him, saying, I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?

But Jesus answered and said to him, Suffer me now; for thus, it becomes us to complete all righteousness. Then he suffered him;

and Jesus being baptized went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and come upon him.

And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.

Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple,

and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you, and they shall take you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not try the Lord your God.

Again the devil took him away on a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

and said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and waited on him.

And they left their nets, immediately, and followed him.

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

And his fame went out into all Syria; and they brought him all that were ill, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them;

and great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

AND seeing the multitudes, he went on the mountain and sat down; and his disciples came to him.

Agree with your accuser quickly, while you are with him in the way, lest the accuser deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

And it was said, Whoever would put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement.

But I tell you not to resist the evil man; but whoever shall strike you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;

and if a man wishes to have a law suit with you, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also;

and whoever shall compel you to go one mile, go two miles with him.

Give to him that asks, and from him that would borrow of you turn not away.

Be not, therefore, like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

Or is there any man of you, who, if his son asks bread of him, will give him a stone?

or if he asks a fish, will give him a serpent?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him.

AND when he went down from the mountain great multitudes followed him;

and behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can cleanse me.

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

And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

And when he entered into Capernaum a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

He said to him, I will come and cure him.

Jesus hearing wondered and said to those that followed him, I tell you truly, I have not found so great a faith with any one in Israel;

And when it was evening they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all that were sick,

And Jesus seeing great multitudes around him commanded them to go away to the other side.

And a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have places of shelter, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

Another of the disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

And he entered into a ship, and his disciples followed him.

And they came and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us; we perish.

And the men wondered, saying, What kind of a man is this, that the winds and the lake obey him?

And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass that way.

And, the demons besought him, saying, If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.

And behold all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him they besought him to depart from their bounds.

and behold they brought him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven.

And Jesus departing thence saw a man sitting at the custom-house, called Matthew; and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples fast not?

While he was saying these words to them, behold a ruler came and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is now dead, but come and put your hand on her and she shall live.

And Jesus arose and followed him, and his disciples.

And behold a woman having a hemorrhage of twelve years approached him from behind, and touched the fringe of his garment;

said, Go away; for the girl is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him.

And as Jesus was departing thence two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David!

And when he had gone into the house the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

But they went out and made him known in all that land.

And when they had gone away, behold, the people brought to him a man, a dumb demoniac.

Simon, the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And fear not those who kill the body and are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Every one, therefore, who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father in heaven;

and whoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father in heaven.

He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

said to him, Are you he that was coming, or look we for another?

He that has ears, let him hear.

All things are given me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; and no one knows the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

And the Pharisees seeing it, said to him, Behold, your disciples do what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

how he entered into the house of God and eat the show bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the priests?

and behold a man having a withered hand [was there]. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

and the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him to destroy him.

But Jesus knowing it departed thence, and great multitudes followed him; and he cured them all,

and charged them not to make him known;

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my spirit on him, and he shall declare judgment to the nations.

THEN a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb spoke and saw.

And if one speaks a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but if one speaks against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven him either in this life or in that to come.

And while he was speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak to him.

And some one said to him, Behold your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak to you.

And he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

And great multitudes came together to him; and he went into the ship and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the shore.

He that has ears let him hear.

And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?

for whoever has, to him shall be also given, and he shall abound; but whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has.

And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence then has it poisonous darnel?

And he said to them, An enemy has done this. And they said to him, Do you wish us to go and take them out?

Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the poisonous darnel of the field.

Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

Have you understood all these thing? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

And they were offended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his native country, and in his own house;

and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised from the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by him.

For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
