Then Josnt her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to put her to public shame, was resolved to divorce her quietly.

But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

but did not know her until she had borne a son. And he called his name Jesus.

"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."

Now John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

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

But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to become an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

Then to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed at that very hour.

He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.

And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her and she will live."

Jesus turned, and when he saw her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that moment.

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

But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.

For I have come to set a man 'against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:

the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her deeds."

I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

He will not quarrel or cry out; nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

He who has ears, let him hear."

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand; and seeing you will see and not perceive.

For this people's heart has grown dull. And their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and they understand with their hearts, and turn so that I should heal them.'

But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear.

For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

"Hear then the parable of the sower:

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

because John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

And the king was sorry; but, because of his oaths and his guests, he commanded it to be given to her;

And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish."

He said, "Bring them here to me,"

And he called the people to him and said to them, "Hear and understand:

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying out after us."

Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernaclesone for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Then Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

Again he went out about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.

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?'

And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'

Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons and, kneeling down, asked something of him.

And he said to her, "What do you want?" She said to him, "Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom."

saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.

and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise'?"

"Hear another parable: there was a landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country.

But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her."

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

But he answered them, "You see all these things, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down."

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.

So if they say to you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of,

Therefore keep watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

So I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.'

Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me."

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Jesus said to him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.

Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?"

Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

So he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come here."

And he looked at those who sat in a circle around him, and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!

And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

so that 'seeing they may see but not perceive, and hearing may hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven.'"

And these are the ones along the path where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in them.

And these likewise are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,

But these are the ones sown on good soil, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit thirtyfold, sixty, and a hundred."

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

Then he said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you; and more will be given you.

With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and live."
