But while he thought on these things, lo! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

and saith to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they will bear thee up, that thou mayst not dash thy foot against a stone."

Jesus said to him, Again it is written, "Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God."

Then saith Jesus to him, Be gone, Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee,

leave there thy gift before the altar, and go away; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

And if thy right eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

And if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should go away into hell.

nor shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

and if any one intends to sue thee at the law, and take thy coat, give up to him thy cloak also;

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth;

that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

But do thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and, when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

After this manner therefore pray ye:Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;

But do thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;

that thou appear not to men to be fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

For where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.

but if thine eye be disordered, thy whole body will be in darkness. If then the light that is within thee is darkness, how great that darkness!

And why dost thou look at the mote that is in thy brothers eye, and not perceive the beam in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me take the mote out of thine eye; when, lo! the beam is in thine own eye?

Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye; and then wilt thou see clearly to take the mote out of thy brothers eye.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in thy name, and in thy name cast out demons, and in thy name work many miracles?

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the servant was made well in that hour.

And lo! they brought to him a man that was palsied, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the palsied man, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven.

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

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?

While he was thus speaking to them, lo! a certain ruler came in and bowed down before him, saying, My daughter just now died; but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.

And he turned round, and seeing her, said, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath made thee well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

For this is he of whom it is written: "Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."

For God commanded, saying, "Honor thy father and thy mother;" and, "He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die."

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

And if thy hand or thy foot is causing thee to fall, cut it off, and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed or lame, than having two hands, or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.

shouldst not thou also have had pity on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

Honor thy father and thy mother;" and, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

Take thy due, and go. But I will give to this last even as to thee.

and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. See! thou hast thine own.

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

Again he went away a second time, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this [cup] cannot pass away from me, but I must drink it, thy will be done!

Then Jesus saith to him, Put back thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword will perish by the sword.

And Jesus seeing their faith, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.

and besought him much, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death; I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and live.

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace, and be recovered from thy plague.

While he was yet speaking, there came from the house I of the ruler of the synagogue some who said, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the Teacher any further?

For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers wife.

then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with defiled hands?

John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.

And if thy hand cause thee to fall away, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is unquenchable.
