So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ fourteen generations.

Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,

Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star's appearing,

So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.

And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.

So rising up, he took the babe and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt,

So he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came unto the land of Israel.

Now this John had his garment made of camel's hair, and a girdle of leather about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, O ye broods of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

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

But Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

And Jesus, after his baptism, came straight from the water: and lo! the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as it were a dove, and coming upon him:

"The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen."

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

And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

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

Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for their's is the kingdom in heaven.

Rejoice and exult; for plenteous is your reward in the heavens: for just so they persecuted the prophets who went before you.

Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, he shall be accounted the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall practise, and teach them, he shall be reckoned great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire.

Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.

but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.

But I say to thee, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven; for it is the throne of God:

but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you;

And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the publicans so?

Therefore when thou givest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Verily I say unto you, They receive their reward.

And when thou prayest, be not as the hypocrites: for they love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, to pray, that they may make a shew to men. Verily I say unto you, That they have their reward.

And when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, affecting a gloomy look: for they disfigure their visages, that they may make a shew of fasting to men. Verily I say unto you, That they have their reward.

Look on the birds of the air: for they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of more value than they?

If God then so clothe a vegetable of the field, which to-day is, [in beauty], and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

And why spiest thou out the mote which is in thy brother's eye, yet payest no attention to the beam which is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer me to take the mote off from thine eye: and behold there is a beam in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to take off the mote from thy brother's eye.

All things therefore whatsoever ye would be willing that men should do to you, just so do ye to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

So every good tree beareth good fruits; but every bad tree in kind, produceth bad fruits.

Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles?

And it was so, that when Jesus had concluded all these sayings, the multitudes were exceedingly struck with his teaching:

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

For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law laid on a bed, and in a fever.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to pass to the other side.

And, behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the vessel was hid by the waves; but he was asleep.

And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great calm.

And the men marvelled, saying, What a wondrous man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

And when he came to the other side, into the region of the Girgasenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming from the sepulchres; exceeding fierce, so that no person was able to pass by that road.

And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And, behold, all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their territories.

For which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And when Jesus was come into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and a multitude confusedly lamenting,

So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

So when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

But when they shall deliver you up, be under no anxiety what ye shall say; for it shall be given you in that very hour what ye should speak:

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, that man shall be saved.

But when they shall persecute you in one city, flee unto another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not complete your circuit through the cities of Israel before the Son of man comes.

What I say unto you in the dark, publish in the light: and what ye hear whispered into the ear, proclaim upon the roofs.

And whosoever shall give to one of these little ones, if but a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see.

And when they were gone, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate garments? Lo! they who wear delicate garments are in the houses of kings.

Yet what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and abundantly more than a prophet.

Verily I say unto you, There hath not arisen, from those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil:

the Son of man is come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, what a man! a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners: though wisdom hath been justified by her children.

Wherefore I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

Wherefore I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.

But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do a thing that it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.

so if Satan cast out Satan; he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist?

Else how can one enter into a strong man's house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then will he plunder his goods?

Therefore I say unto you, All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying, Master, we desire to see a sign from thee.

for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.

THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near the sea.

And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow:

Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive:

for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes; for ye see: and your ears; for ye hear.

For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

hath not really root in himself, but is merely temporary: and when tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately he is stumbled.

The servants of the proprietor came, and said to him, Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it the zizane?

Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.

As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind:

Just so shall it be at the end of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked from amidst the just,

They say unto him, Yes, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, the master of a family, who bringeth out of his storehouse things new and old.
