A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened like this. His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, and before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

and had no marital relations with her until she had brought forth a son; and he named him Jesus.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, suddenly wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

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

But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and suddenly the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

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

Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan. For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"

From that time, Jesus began to proclaim, and to say, "Repent. For the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

And it happened, when Jesus had finished saying these things, that the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And his servant was healed in that hour.

And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.

Now when Jesus saw large crowds around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.

And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

And suddenly all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.

And just then they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?

And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.

And it happened as he sat in the house, it happened that many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.

But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,

And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David."

And when he had come 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 told him, "Yes, Lord."

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this."

And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.

And it happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and proclaim in their cities.

And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.

At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

But Jesus, perceiving that, withdrew from there. Many followed him, and he healed them all,

On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,

Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."

And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

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

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

Then his disciples came, and took the body, and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Then the Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

But Jesus, becoming aware of this, said, "You of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves about having no bread?

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that the Son of Man is?"

Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."

Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."

Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"

He said to him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these."

He said to him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder.' 'You shall not commit adultery.' 'You shall not steal.' 'You shall not offer false testimony.'

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside, and on the way he said to them,

But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They said to him, "We are able."

But Jesus summoned them, and said, "You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

And just then two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, shouted, "Lord, have mercy on us, son of David."

Jesus stood still, and called them, and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received their sight, and they followed him.

When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

The disciples went, and did just as Jesus directed them,

The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."

Jesus entered into the temple, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

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

Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

They answered Jesus, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'

Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
