The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,

After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.

When they were gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying; "Rise! Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and there remain until I bring you word; for Herod intends to make a search for the child, in order to put him to death."

So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.

saying, "Rise! Take the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."

So he rose and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

and opening his lips he began to teach them, saying.

"and if any one wants to go to law with you and takes away your coat, let him take your cloak also.

that the word spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, He took upon himself our weaknesses, and bore the burden of our diseases.

"But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins"??e then says to the paralytic, "Rise, take up your bed, and go to your home."

For she said to herself, "If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured."

When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.

"Take no gold or silver or coppers in your purses;

"and he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

After finishing his instructions to his twelve disciples, Jesus left that place, in order to teach and to preach in the neighboring cities.

"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by storm.

"Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

On that same day, after Jesus had left the house, he took his seat on the seashore;

He set forth to them another parable, saying. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard-seed which a man took and planted in his field.

He told them another parable. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened."

the head was brought on a dish, and given to the young girl, who took it to her mother.

And they all ate and were fully satisfied, and they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve basketfuls.

and kept begging him to let them touch the tassel of his cloak??nd all who touched were completely cured.

In vain do they worship me, While they teach doctrines that are the commands of men."

He answered, "It is not seemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

On leaving that place Jesus went along the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and after climbing a hill, took his seat there.

he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, then he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

Presently Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees."

"Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

"Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many large basketfuls you took up?

Then Peter took him aside and began to reprove him, saying. "God forbid, Master! That shall never befall you."

Then Jesus said to his disciples. "If any man wishes to come after me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and follow me.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain, by themselves apart.

"Master, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and sore distressed. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

"Nevertheless, that we may not give offense, go to the seaside, throw in your hook; take the first fish that rises, and when you have opened its mouth, you will find a shekel in it. Take it and give it to them for us both."

"But if he will not listen to you, take one or two others along, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he will not listen to them, tell the church;

"And as they took it they began to grumble against the master of the house.

"Take your wage and begone! I chose to give to this last man the same as to you.

When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.

"Listen to another parable: "A man who was a householder planted a vineyard, fenced it about, dug a wine vat in it, built a tower, then rented it to vine-dressers and went abroad.

But when the vine-dressers saw his son, they said to themselves: "'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.'

"So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might ensnare him during conversation.

"Take care," Jesus answered, "that no one mislead you;

"So when you see the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place let the reader take note of this,

"Then will the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten maidens who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.

The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them;

but the wise took oil in their flasks with their lamps.

"But he who had received the one talent went off, and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has ten talents.

"But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he take his seat on the throne of his glory;

"'For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

"'When did we see you a stranger and take you in; or naked and clothe you?

"I was a stranger, and you took me not in; naked, and you clothed me not; sick, or in prison, and you visited me not.'

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to his disciples, saying, "Take, eat, this is my body."

And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be in anguish and sore distress,

Then he came to the disciples and said: "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Look! the hour is at hand; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

Then Jesus said to him. "Put back your sword into its place! for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

And when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how they might put him to death.

The chief priests took the money, and said, "It would be wrong to put it into the temple-treasury, because it is the price of blood."

Then was fulfilled the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who had been priced, whom certain of the Children of Israel had priced;

So when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that on the contrary a riot was threatening, he took water and washed his hands in the presence of the crowd, saying. "I am innocent of the blood of this man; you must answer for it."

Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered all the battalion together.

And they spit upon him, and took the reed and struck him on the head, again and again.

At last, when they had finished their mocking, they took the robe off, and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.

At once, one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.

So the soldiers took the money, and did as they were told; and this story has been noised abroad among the Jews, and continues to this day.

So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.

So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'?

But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"??e said to the paralytic??11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."

The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

For he had healed so many that all the people who had ailments pressed upon him so as to touch him.

When his relatives heard of it, they came to take possession of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."

Afterwards Jesus began to teach by the seaside, and a vast multitude of people gathered about him, so that he went on board a boat on the sea, and sat there, while all the people stayed on shore, at the water's edge.

And he said to them. "Take heed what you hear. With what measure you measure it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.

So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.

"If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."

"The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.

Then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

When it came Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue; many, as they listened, were deeply impressed. "Where did he get all this?" they asked; "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and miracles such as these that happen at his hands?

He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;

When John's disciples heard of this, they came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

So when Jesus landed he saw a vast multitude, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed, broke the loaves in pieces, and kept giving to the disciples to distribute.

And whenever he entered into villages or cities or the fields they would lay the sick in the market-places and beseech him to let them touch even the tassel of his cloak, and all who touched him were made well.

"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man's ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;

They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

Now they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.

Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

This he told them quite openly. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him.

Then summoning the crowd to him, with his disciples. he said: "If any man wishes to follow me, let him renounce self, take up his cross, and so follow me.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and brought them by themselves up a high mountain apart from the rest.
