And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the region thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: and, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the district of Galilee:

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, {} The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

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

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

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

And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, and those that were epileptic, and those that were paralytic; and he healed them.

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

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but on a lamp stand; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

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

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:

But I say unto you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

And if your right eye causes you to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell.

But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.

Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not perjure yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths:

You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not away.

You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Take heed that you give not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father who is in heaven.

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

That your alms may be in secret: and your Father who sees in secret himself shall reward you openly.

And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Moreover when you fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

That you appear not unto men to fast, but unto your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you openly.

But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

Judge not, that you be not judged.

And why behold you the speck that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.

For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be who go in there:

Because narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.

Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And Jesus said unto him, See you tell no man; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

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

When the evening came, they brought unto him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

And when he came to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to him possessed of the demons.

And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their region.

But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the paralytic) Arise, take up your bed, and go unto your house.

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

But go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

No man puts a piece of new cloth onto an old garment, for that which is put on to fill it up takes from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

But Jesus turned about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith has made you whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.

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

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus sternly charged them, saying, See that no man knows it.

But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

Pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

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 deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.

For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks through you.

And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach upon the housetops.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

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

And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
