Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.

And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:

And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons.

But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

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

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day.

At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?

And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.

And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.

And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick,

and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.

Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,

and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.

And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,

and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come.

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;

And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.

Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;

and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?

The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid'saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;

Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day.
