But Joseph, her husband to be, being just, and not willing to make her a public example, he purposed to put her away secretly.

And as he thought upon these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take to you Mary as your wife. For that in her is fathered of the Holy Spirit.

But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It was also said, Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.

But I say to you that whoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her who is put away commits adultery.

nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go. And as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his boy was healed in that hour.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?

While He spoke these things to them, behold, a certain ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, My daughter has just now died. But come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.

But turning and seeing her, Jesus said, Daughter, be comforted; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour.

But when the people were put out, He went in and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak; for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.

What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear, proclaim on the housetops.

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

Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John again those things which you hear and see:

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

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man who is a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners. But wisdom was justified by her children.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which said, "By hearing you shall hear and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive;

for this people's heart has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

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

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear what you hear, and have not heard them.

Therefore hear the parable of the sower.

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

While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear Him.

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him here to Me.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there. And it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you.

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven?

But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he neglects to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax-collector.

For the kingdom of Heaven is like a man, a housemaster, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.

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

And he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise.

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

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

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

Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to Him with her sons, worshiping and desiring a certain thing from Him.

And He said to her, What do you desire? She said to Him, Grant that these my two sons may sit in Your kingdom, the one on Your right hand and the other on the left.

saying to them, Go into the village across from you. And immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

And they said to Him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes, have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have perfected praise?"

Hear another parable. There was a certain housemaster who planted a vineyard and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and rented it to vinedressers, and went into a far country.

But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and get hold of his inheritance.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!

And Jesus said to them, Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone on another that shall not be thrown down.

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

Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, There! Do not believe it.

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

But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.

Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.

Therefore you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes.

the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not look for Him, and in an hour which he does not know.

Therefore watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of Man comes.

Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, that which this woman has done shall be spoken of also, for a memorial of her.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to the disciples, Sit here while I go and pray there.

Then He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Wait here and watch with Me.

And He came to the disciples and found them asleep. And He said to Peter, What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

Then He came to His disciples and said to them, Sleep on now and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are you here? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.

In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out in order to take Me with swords and clubs, as against a thief? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hands on Me.

Then Pilate said to Him, Do you not hear how many things they witness against you?

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

And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, 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 the Lord lay.
