The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in wise: when Mary his mother was promised in marriage to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Ghost:

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

and he knew her not, till she brought forth her Son the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.

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

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him: but John refused Him, saying,

And Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.

Then he permitted Him. And Jesus as soon as He was baptized came up from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened unto Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon Him:

Then was Jesus led by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil:

but Jesus said unto him, it is also written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

then Jesus saith unto him, Be gone, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,

Now when Jesus heard that John was imprisoned, He departed into Galilee:

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Now as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; (for they were fishermen:)

And Jesus went through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.

And when Jesus had ended these discourses, the people were amazed at his doctrine:

and Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion beseeching Him, and saying, Lord,

and Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

And when Jesus heard it He marvelled, and said to them that followed Him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel:

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and be it unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed in that very hour.

And when Jesus came to Peter's house. He saw his wife's mother lying ill of a fever:

But when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, he gave orders for departing to the other side of the lake.

and Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the fowls of heaven their nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

but Jesus said unto him; Do thou follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

and they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they intreated Him to depart from their coasts.

and behold, they brought to Him one that had the palsy laid on a couch: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Take heart my son, for thy sins are forgiven thee.

Upon which, some of the scribes said in themselves, This man blasphemeth: but Jesus knowing their surmises,

And as Jesus was passing from thence, He saw a man sitting at the custom-house, named Matthew; and He saith to him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.

And as He was sitting at table in the house of Matthew, behold, several publicans and notorious sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

But Jesus hearing them, said unto them, They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill: go therefore and learn what that means,

And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.

And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the musicians, and the people in confusion;

And as Jesus was going from thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Have compassion on us, O Son of David.

And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? and they say unto Him, Yes Lord.

And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, Do not divulge it: but

Now Jesus went round to all the cities, and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people.

These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans:

And when Jesus had made an end of giving orders to his twelve disciples, He departed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.

And Jesus said to them in answer, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:

And as they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

And upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:

About this time as Jesus passed through the cornfields on the sabbath-day, his disciples being hungry began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat them.

but Jesus knew it, and withdrew from thence; and great multitudes followed Him with their sick,

But Jesus, who well knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate; and no city, or family, divided against itself can stand:

Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:

All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and at this time He spake nothing to them without a parable:

Then Jesus leaving the multitude went into the house; and his disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field:

Then saith Jesus unto them, Did ye understand all these? they say unto Him, Yes, Lord: and He said unto them,

And when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence:

So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than in his own country, and in his own family.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus,

and his disciples came and took up the body and buried it, and then went and told Jesus.

And when Jesus heard it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was followed Him on foot from the cities:

and when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them; and He healed their sick.

But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.

And presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:

but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them walking on the sea:

and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, Take courage, it is I, be not afraid.

And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.

And Jesus, immediately stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

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

And Jesus replied, Are ye also still void of understanding?

And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the parts adjacent to Tyre and Sidon.

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

And Jesus departed from thence, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up to a mountain He sat down there.

And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them.

Then Jesus called his disciples to Him and said, I am moved with compassion to the multitude, for they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: I will not let them go away fasting, least they faint in the way.

And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

and therefore when Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees,

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said to them, O ye of little faith, why do ye argue among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

And when Jesus came into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?

And Jesus replied and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

And from that time began Jesus to acquaint his disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death, and be raised again on the third day.

Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me:

And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up to a high mountain apart;

Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou pleasest, let us make three tabernacles here, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

But Jesus came and touched them and said, Rise up and be not afraid.

And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw none but Jesus only.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.

Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right.

Then Jesus answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you?

Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.

Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.

And while they were in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men:

And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him and said, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? Of their own children, or of other people?

Peter saith unto Him, Of others. Jesus answered him, Then are the children free:

At that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And Jesus calling to Him a little child, set it in the midst of them,

Jesus answereth him, I tell thee not, to seven times, but to seventy times seven.

And when Jesus had finished these discourses, He departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:

but Jesus said, Suffer the children to come to me, and do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

He saith unto Him, Which? And Jesus answered, Thou shalt do no murther, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and mother;

Jesus replied, If thou wouldst be perfect, go, sell thy estate, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.
