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

The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, yea light dawned on those who sat in the land and the shadow of death.

You are the light of the world. A town on the top of a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do men light a lamp to put it under a bowl; they put it on a stand and it shines for all in the house.

So your light is to shine before men, that they may see the good you do and glorify your Father in heaven.

Let what you say be simply 'yes' or 'no'; whatever exceeds that springs from evil.

whoever wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well;

When you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

Let this be how you pray: 'our Father in heaven, thy name be revered,

and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.'

When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they look woebegone to let men see they are fasting; I tell you truly, they do get their reward.

but if your Eye is selfish, the whole of your body will be darkened. And if your very light turns dark, then ??what a darkness it is!

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take out the splinter from your eye,' when there lies the plank in your own eye?

Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go and bury my father first of all";

But to let you see the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins" ??he then said to the paralytic, "Get up, lift your pallet, and go home."

if the household is deserving, let your peace rest on it; but if the household is undeserving, let your peace return to you.

He who has an ear, let him listen to this.

my yoke is kindly and my burden light."

I tell you, men will have to account on the day of judgment for every light word they utter;

He who has an ear, let him listen to this."

Let them both grow side by side till harvest; and at harvest-time I will tell the reapers to gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to be burnt, but to collect the wheat in my granary.'"

Then the just will shine like the sun in the Realm of their Father. He who has an ear, let him listen to this.

and begging him to let them touch the mere tassel of his robe ??and all who touched it got perfectly well.

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind, and if one blind man leads another, both of them will fall into a pit."

And large crowds came to him bringing the lame, and the blind, the dumb, the maimed, and many others; they laid them at his feet, and he healed them.

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

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high hill by themselves;

in their presence he was transfigured, his face shone like the sun, and his clothes turned white as light.

So Peter addressed Jesus and said, "Lord, it is a good thing we are here; pray let me put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

There are eunuchs who have been eunuchs from their birth, there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Realm of heaven. Let anyone practice it for whom it is practicable."

but Jesus said to them, "Let the children alone, do not stop them from coming to me: the Realm of heaven belongs to such as these."

Then he laid his hands on them and went upon his way.

If anyone says anything to you, you will say that the Lord needs them; then he will at once let them go."

But when the vinedressers saw his son they said to themselves, 'Here is the heir; come on, let us kill him and seize his inheritance!'

Woe to you, you impious scribes and Pharisees! you shut the Realm of heaven in men's faces; you neither enter yourselves, nor will you let those enter who are on the point of entering.

So when you see the appalling Horror spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing erect in the holy place (let the reader note this),

then let those who are in Judaea fly to the hills;

Immediately after the misery of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not yield her light, the stars will drop from heaven and the orbs of the heavens will be shaken.

He will despatch his angels with a loud trumpet call to muster his elect from the four winds, from the verge of heaven to the verge of earth.

Let the fig tree teach you a parable. As soon as its branches turn soft and put out leaves, you know summer is at hand;

Then he went forward a little and fell on his face praying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me. Yet, not what I will but what thou wilt."

Come, get up and let us go. Here is my betrayer close at hand!"

Jesus said, "My man, do your errand." Then they laid hands on Jesus and seized him.

After binding him, they led him off and handed him over to Pontius Pilate the governor.

"He saved others," they said, "but he cannot save himself! He the 'king of Israel'! Let him come down now from the cross; then we will believe in him!

His trust is in God? Let God deliver him now if he cares for him! He said he was the Son of God!"

and about three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "Eli, eli, lema sabachthani" (that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

But the others said, "Stop, let us see if Elijah does come to save him!" [Seizing a lance, another pricked his side, and out came water and blood.]

Jesus again uttered a loud scream and gave up his spirit.

and teach them to obey all the commands I have laid on you. And I will be with you all the time, to the very end of the world."

And after convulsing him the unclean spirit did come out of him with a loud cry.

Now when evening came, when the sun set, they brought him all who were ill or possessed by daemons ??33 indeed the whole town was gathered at the door ??34 and he cured many who were ill with various diseases and cast out many daemons; but as the daemons knew him he would not let them say anything.

but he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the adjoining country-towns, so that I may preach there as well; that is why I came out here."

But to let you see the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins" ??he said to the paralytic,

He added, "Anyone who has ears to hear, let him listen to this."

If anyone has an ear to hear, let him listen to this."

That same day when evening came he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side;"

But he strictly forbade them to let anyone know about it, and told them to give her something to eat.

When his disciples heard of it they went and fetched his body and laid it in a tomb.

whatever village or town or hamlet he went to, they would lay their invalids in the marketplace, begging him to let them touch even the tassel of his robe ??and all who touched him recovered.

If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this."

He said to her, "Let the children be satisfied first of all; it is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

So he took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village; then, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked him, "Do you see anything?"

At this he laid his hands on his eyes once more, and the man stared in front of him; he was quite restored and saw everything distinctly.

Then he called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and so follow me;

Six days afterwards Jesus took Peter, James and John, and led them up a high hill by themselves alone; in their presence he was transfigured,

So Peter addressed Jesus, saying, "Rabbi, it is a good thing we are here; let us put up three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"

Salt is excellent: but if salt is tasteless, how are you to restore its flavour? Let there be 'salt between you'; be at peace with one another."

but Jesus was angry when he saw this, and he said to them, "Let the children come to me, do not stop them: the Realm of God belongs to such as these.

Then he put his arms round them, laid his hands on them and blessed them.

Then he entered Jerusalem, entered the temple, and looked round at everything; but as it was late he went away with the twelve to Bethany.

No, let us say, From men" ??but they were afraid of the multitude, for the people all held John had been really a prophet.

But these vinedressers said to themselves, 'Here is the heir; come on, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.'

Are we to pay, or are we not to pay?" But he saw their trick and said to them, "Why tempt me? Bring me a shilling. Let me see it."

But whenever you see the appalling Horror standing where he has no right to stand (let the reader note this), then let those who are in Judaea fly to the hills;

But when that misery is past, in those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not yield her light,

Let the fig tree teach you a parable. As soon as its branches turn soft and put out leaves, you know summer is at hand;

Watch then, for you never know when the Lord of the House will come, in the late evening or at midnight or at cock-crow or in the morning.

But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why are you annoying her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

Then they laid hands on him and seized him,

Day after day I was beside you in the temple teaching, and you never seized me. However, it is to let the scriptures be fulfilled."

Immediately morning came, the high priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and all the Sanhedrin, and after binding Jesus they led him off and handed him over to Pilate.

and they led him to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull).

Let 'the Christ,' 'the king of Israel' come down now from the cross! Let us see that and we will believe!" Those who were crucified with him also denounced him.

and at three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "El?i, El?i, lema sabachthanei" (which means, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

One man ran off, soaked a sponge in vinegar, and put it on the end of a stick to give him a drink, saying, "Come on, let us see if Elijah does come to take him down!"

But Jesus gave a loud cry and expired.

Now Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses noted where he was laid.

but he said to them, "Do not be bewildered. You are looking for Jesus of Nazaret, who was crucified? He has risen, he is not here. That is the place where he was laid.

to let you know the solid truth of what you have been taught.

it fell to him by lot, as was the custom of the priesthood, to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense,

Mary said, "I am here to serve the Lord. Let it be as you have said." Then the angel went away.

she called out with a loud cry, "Blessed among women are you, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

she gave birth to her firstborn son, and as there was no room for them inside the khan she wrapped him up and laid him in a stall for cattle.

Now when the angels had left them and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us be off to Bethlehem to see this thing that the Lord has told us of."

"Now, Master, thou canst let thy servant go, and go in peace, as thou didst promise;

to be a light of revelation for the Gentiles and a glory to thy people Israel."

Every valley shall be filled up, every hill and mound laid low, the crooked made straight, the rough roads smooth;

He replied, "Let everyone who possesses two shirts share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise."

and for forty days he was led by the Spirit in the desert, while the devil tempted him. During these days he ate nothing, and when they were over he felt hungry.
