and Jesse begat David the king, and David the king begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias,

Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.

And as he was revolving the matter in his mind, behold, an angel of the Lord in a dream appeared unto him, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary for thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

and he knew her not, until she had brought forth her son, the first begotten, and he called his name Jesus.

"A cry was heard at Ramah, lamentation, and wailing, and bitter moaning, Rachel weeping for her children, and will not be comforted, because they are no more."

Now this John had his garment made of camel's hair, and a girdle of leather about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It hath been said indeed, That whosoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce:

But I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.

neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

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

And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them.

As he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a ruler, and prostrated himself before him, saying, My daughter hath just now died: but come and lay thine hand upon her, and she shall live.

Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour.

So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

And beholding the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were fainting, and lying here and there, as sheep that had no shepherd.

But when they shall deliver you up, be under no anxiety what ye shall say; for it shall be given you in that very hour what ye should speak:

What I say unto you in the dark, publish in the light: and what ye hear whispered into the ear, proclaim upon the roofs.

For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see.

The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

the Son of man is come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, what a man! a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners: though wisdom hath been justified by her children.

Now I tell you, That one greater than the temple is here.

He shall not contend, nor be clamorous; neither shall any man in the streets hear his voice.

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this generation, and condemn it: for they repented on the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

The queen of the South shall rise up in judgment against the men of this generation, and condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive:

for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes; for ye see: and your ears; for ye hear.

For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

For John said unto him, It is unlawful for thee to have her.

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

And she, being previously urged on by her mother, said, Give me here, in a spacious dish, the head of John the Baptist.

And the king was grieved: but for his oath's sake, and on account of those who were with him, he commanded it to be given her.

And his head was brought on a large dish, and was given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.

And they said unto him, We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes.

And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us.

Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Then Peter addressing him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him!

And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.

Now if thy brother sin against thee, go and reprove him between thyself and him alone; if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be confirmed.

They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorce, and to put her away?

FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the master of a family, who went out at break of day, to hire labourers into his vineyard.

And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market place unemployed.

Again going out, about the sixth and ninth hour, he did after the same manner.

But about the eleventh hour, going out, he found others standing unemployed, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

And when they came, who began about the eleventh hour, they received each a denarius.

saying, These last have wrought only a single hour, and thou hast put them on an equality with us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.

Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons, paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him.

Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom.

saying to them, Go into the village, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring them to me.

brought the ass and her foal, and they spread over them their garments, and seated him upon them.

Hear another parable: There was a certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant country.

But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance.

and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.

In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest those who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children to me, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not?

But Jesus said unto them, Do you not see all these things? I tell you of a certainty, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be utterly thrown down.

And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not terrified: for these things must first be, but the end is not yet.

Then if any man say unto you, Lo! here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not:

Then, immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

But of that day and hour no man knoweth, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father alone.

Watch therefore: for ye know not at what hour your Master cometh.

Therefore be ye also prepared: for in an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.

the master of that servant will come in a day that he doth not expect him, and at an hour which he knoweth not.

Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man cometh.

and being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the ground: see here, thou hast thine own.

Verily I say unto you, Wherever this Gospel is preached through the whole world, what she hath done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.

Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me.

And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour?

Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him.

In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid not hold upon me.

Now from the fifth hour darkness fell upon all the land, unto the ninth hour.

But about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with an exceeding loud cry, saying, Eli! Eli! lama, sabacthani? that is, My God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?

He is not here: he is risen, as he said. Come hither, behold the place where the Lord lay.

Now John was clothed with a camel's hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

But Simon's wife's mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.

And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.

Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow;

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.

And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured back to you; and something over shall be given to you that hear.

and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease.

And he looked round to see her who had done this.

Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease.
