and Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her who was the wife of Uriah;

Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him-

and gathering together all the chief priests and scribes, inquired with them where Christ should be born.

And hearing the king they departed, and, behold, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until having come, it stood above where the young child was.

A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children; and was not willing to be comforted, because they are not.

Having arisen, take with you the young child and His mother, and depart into the land of Israel; for those seeking the life of the young child are dead.

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

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

and think not to say among yourselves; We have Abraham, our father; for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

And Jesus having been baptized, came up straightway from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove, coming on Him.

And He walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting their net into the sea; for they were fishers.

And His fame went forth into all Syria: and they brought Him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and the demonized, and the lunatics, and the paralytics; and He healed them.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.

Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.

Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.

Blessed are ye when they may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, for my sake.

Rejoice, and he exceedingly glad: because your reward is great in the heavens: for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.

Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.

Neither do they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who are in the house.

Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

For truly I say unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.

For I say unto you, that if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

leave there your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your gift.

Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may be cast into prison.

Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.

But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you:

in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?

Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

But take heed that you do not your righteousness before the people, in order to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens:

Therefore be not like unto them: for your Father knows of what things you have need, before you ask him.

Therefore pray ye after this manner: Our Father who art in the heavens, let thy name be hallowed:

give us this day our daily bread:

and forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors:

For if you may not forgive the people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will not forgive you:

and if you do not forgive the people, your Father will not forgive you your trespasses.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break through and steal:

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not corrupt, and thieves do not break through and steal:

for where your treasure is, there will be your heart also.

No one is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.

Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul what you may eat, nor for your body what you may put on. Is not your soul more valuable than food, and your body than raiment?

Look unto the fowls of heaven, how they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not more excellent than they?

And why are you solicitous concerning raiment? Know the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.

Therefore be not solicitous, saying, What can we eat? or what can we drink? or with what can we be clothed?

For after all these things the heathen were seeking; for your heavenly Father knoweth that you need all these things.

But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?

Or how will you say to your brother, Permit me, I will cast out the mote from your eye; and behold, there is a beam in your own eye?

O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote from the eye of your brother.

Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they may trample them under their feet, and having turned round tear you to pieces.

Therefore if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask Him?

Enter ye in through the narrow gate: because wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are, who are going in through it.

Because narrow is the gate, and contracted the way, that leadeth into life, and few there are who find it.

But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are rapacious wolves.

You shall know them by their fruits. Do the people gather the grape-bunches from thorns, or figs from thistles?

And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:

And behold, a leper, having come, continued to worship Him, saying; Lord, if you may be willing, you are able to cleanse me.

in order that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, He took our infirmities, and carried our sicknesses.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven nests; but the Son of man has not where He may recline His head.

And the disciples having come, awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us; we are perishing.

And He says to them, Why are you afraid, O ye of little faith? Then having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the sea; and there was a great calm.

And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of a man is this, because winds and the sea obey him?

And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

And Jesus seeing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?

For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about?

And the multitude seeing, were astonished, and glorified God, who giveth such power to men.

And it came to pass, He was sitting at the table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners, having come were sitting along with Jesus and His disciples.

And the Pharisees seeing, said to His disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?

And Jesus hearing said to them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the bride-chamber are not able to fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them. But the day will come, when the bride-groom must be taken from them, and then they will fast.

Neither do they put new wine in old bottles: lest the bottles are broken, and the wine poured out, and the bottles shall perish: but they put the new wine into the new bottles, and both are preserved.

And He speaking these things to them, behold a certain ruler having come, continued to worship Him, saying, My daughter just now died: but having come put your hand on her, and she shall live.

Then He touched their eyes, saying, Be it unto you according to your faith.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, See that no one know it.

And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, saying,

And seeing the multitudes, He was moved in compassion in their behalf, because they were fleeced and deserted, as sheep having no shepherd.

Then He says to His disciples, The harvest truly is great and the laborers are few;

And these are the names of the apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Take not gold, nor silver, nor copper in your girdles;

nor valise for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence.

And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you.

And whosoever may not receive you, nor hear your words, going out from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

And when they may deliver you, be not solicitous how or what you may speak: for it will be given unto you in that hour what you may say.

For you are not those speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is speaking in you.

What I say unto you in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and whatsoever you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

Be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but fear ye, rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and one of them will not fall to the ground without your Father.

But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Then fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

He that loveth father and mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

said to Him, Art thou He who is coming, or must we expect another?
