Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

And Jesus responding said to him; Suffer it now; for thus it is becoming us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers Him.

And He responding said; It has been written, A man shall not live upon bread alone, but upon every word coming forth through the mouth of God.

and says to Him; If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it has been written, That He will give His angels charge concerning thee, and upon their hand they will bear thee, lest thou mayest dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him; Again it has been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

If having fallen down thou mayest worship me: then Jesus says to him, Get behind me, Satan; for it has been written; Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.

Ye are the salt of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.

Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths.

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God;

nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of His feet; neither by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.

to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also.

You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.

For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same.

If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?

But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Therefore be not like unto them: for your Father knows of what things you have need, before you ask him.

Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul what you may eat, nor for your body what you may put on. Is not your soul more valuable than food, and your body than raiment?

And which one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?

Therefore be not solicitous, saying, What can we eat? or what can we drink? or with what can we be clothed?

For with what criticism you criticise, you will be criticised: and with what measure you measure, it will be measured unto you.

Or how will you say to your brother, Permit me, I will cast out the mote from your eye; and behold, there is a beam in your own eye?

Enter ye in through the narrow gate: because wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there are, who are going in through it.

Because narrow is the gate, and contracted the way, that leadeth into life, and few there are who find it.

And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:

For I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and let it be done unto thee as thou hast believed. And his servant was healed at that hour.

And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of a man is this, because winds and the sea obey him?

Two demoniacs met Him, having come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, coming out from the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one was able to pass through that way.

And behold, they cried out, saying, What is there to us and thee, O Son of God? have you come hither to torment us before the time?

And the demons continued to intreat him, saying, If you cast us out, permit us to depart into the herd of swine.

And He said to them, Go. And they having gone out, went away into the herd of swine; and the whole herd rushed down the precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing Him, intreated Him, that He should depart from their coasts.

For whether is it easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or, Arise, and walk about?

And Jesus passing along from thence, saw a man sitting at the toll, called Matthew; and He says to him, Follow me. And having arisen up, he followed Him.

And it came to pass, He was sitting at the table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners, having come were sitting along with Jesus and His disciples.

And the Pharisees seeing, said to His disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?

But having gone, learned what this is, I wish mercy and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

And two blind men followed Him, going thence, crying out, and saying,

Then He touched their eyes, saying, Be it unto you according to your faith.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, See that no one know it.

But they having gone out, spread abroad His fame in all that country.

And they going out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man, demonized.

And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes were astonished, saying,

Never did it so appear in Israel. And the Pharisees continued to say, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

And calling His twelve disciples, He gave them power over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and heal every disease, and every malady.

And Jesus sent out the twelve, commanding them, Go not in the way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans.

And going, preach, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely you did receive, freely give.

And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence.

And going into a house, salute it.

And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you.

And whosoever may not receive you, nor hear your words, going out from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

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

And when they may deliver you, be not solicitous how or what you may speak: for it will be given unto you in that hour what you may say.

It is sufficient for the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant, as his lord: if they call the landlord Beelzebul, how much more the inmates of his house?

What I say unto you in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and whatsoever you hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

The one having found his soul shall lose it; and the one losing his soul for my sake shall find it.

And they departing, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went you out in the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind?

But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those wearing soft raiment are in the houses of the kings.

But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet:

for this is he, concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before my face, who will prepare thy way before thee.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force.

And if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come.

But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to their comrades, and saying,

Moreover I say unto you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shall be cast down to Hades: because if the mighty works which were wrought in thee had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

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

At that time Jesus responding said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and reveal them unto babes.

Yea, Father, because it was so well pleasing in thy sight.

At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the cornfields; and His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears, and eat.

And the Pharisees, seeing, said to Him, Behold thy disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.
