And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea;" for thus it has been written through the prophet:

and, sending them to Bethlehem, he said, "Having gone, inquire ye exactly concerning the Child; and, when ye find Him, bring me word, that I, too, having come, may worship Him."

But, seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, "Broods of vipers! who warned you to flee from the coming wrath!

But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Suffer it now; for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness." Then He suffers Him.

And the Tempter, having come near, said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread."

But He, answering, said, "It has been written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"

Jesus said to him, "Again it has been written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"

and he said to Him, "All these things will I give Thee, if, falling down, Thou wilt worship me."

And, seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and, He having sat down, His disciples came to Him:

"Ye are the light of the world: a city, set upon a hill, cannot he hid.

"Ye heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not kill; and whosoever kills shall be in danger of the judgment.'

"Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'

"And it was said, 'Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;'

"Again ye heard that it was said to the ancients, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths;"

"Ye heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,'

"Ye heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy;'

"And, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Verily I say to you, they receive their reward.

And the centurion, answering, said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only speak in a word, and my boy shall be healed;

And Jesus, hearing it, wondered, and said to those following Him, "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith.

And I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven;

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; as you believed, be it done to you." And the boy was healed in that hour.

And Jesus, seeing a multitude about Him, gave orders to depart to the other side.

And a scribe, coming near, said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow Thee wheresoever Thou mayst go."

And another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

And, when He came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met Him two demoniacs, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass along that way;

And He said to them, "Go." And, having come out, they went away into the swine; and, behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and died in the waters!

And, behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic laid upon a couch. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Child, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven."

And, behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, "This Man is blaspheming! "

And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why think ye evil in your hearts?

And the Pharisees, seeing it, said to His disciples, Why is your Teacher eating with the tax-collectors and sinners?"

And Jesus, hearing it, said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are ill.

Jesus said to them, "Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn while the Bridegroom is with them! But there will come days, when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast."

And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

said, "Withdraw; for the damsel did not die, but is sleeping." And they were laughing at Him.

But the Pharisees said, "By the ruler of the demons He is casting out the demons."

for I came to set a man at variance with his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

said to Him, "Art Thou the Coming One, or are we to look for another?"

And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Having gone, report to John what ye are hearing and seeing:

the blind receive sight, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor have the Gospel proclaimed to them.

At that season Jesus, answering, said, "I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, because Thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and didst reveal them to babes.

But the Pharisees, seeing it, said to Him, "Behold, Thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath."

But He said to them, "Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those with him?

And He said to them "What man of you who shall have one sheep; and, if this should fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it, and raise it up?

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

But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, "This Man doth not cast out the demons, except by Beelzebub, prince of the demons."

And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom, divided against itself, is brought to naught; and every city or house, divided against itself, shall not stand.

And He, answering, said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation is seeking after a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

[And one said to Him, "Behold, Thy mother and Thy brothers are standing without, seeking to speak to Thee."]

But He, answering, said to him that told Him, "Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?"

And stretching forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold, My mother and My brothers!

And there were gathered to Him great multitudes; so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down, and all the multitudes were standing on the beach.

And the disciples, having come near, said to Him, "Wherefore dost Thou speak to them in parables?"

And He, answering, said to them, "Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given.

Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven was likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field;

And the servants of the house-holder, corning near, said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?'

And he said to them, 'An enemy did this.' The servants say to him, 'Do you wish, then, that we, going, should gather them up?'

Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man, having taken, sowed in his field:

And, answering, He said, "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

The field is the world: and the good seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the evil one;

and He said to them, "Therefore, every scribe, having been made a disciple to the Kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old."

And, coming into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Whence hath this Man this wisdom, and the mighty works?

And they were finding in Him occasion to stumble. And Jesus said to them "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, and said to his servants,

For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

But Jesus said to them, "They have no need to go away. Give ye them to eat."

And He said, "Bring them here to Me."

And straightway He constrained the disciples to enter into a boat, and to go before Him to the other side, while He should dismiss the multitudes.

And Peter, answering Him, said, "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come to Thee on the water."

And He said, "Come." And, going down from the boat, Peter walked upon the water, and came to Jesus.

And He, answering, said to them, "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He that speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die,'

And, having called the multitude near, He said to them, "Hear, and understand:

But He, answering, said, "Every plant which My Heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up.

And Peter, answering, said to Him, "Explain to us the parable."

And He said, "Are ye also even yet without understanding?

But He, answering, said, "I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

And He, answering, said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs."

But she said, "Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from the master's table."

Then Jesus, answering, said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! be it done to you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus, having called His disciples near, said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way."

And Jesus saith to them, "How many loaves have ye?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fishes."

and He, answering, said to them, "When it is evening, ye say, 'It will be fair, for the heaven is red;'

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

And Jesus, knowing it, said, "Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have no bread?

And they said, "Some say John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

And Simon Peter, answering, said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah; because flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

But, turning, He said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! you are a stumbling-block to Me; because you are not thinking of the things of God, but the things of men."

Then said Jesus to His disciples, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me;

And Peter, answering, said to Jesus," Lord, it is good that we are here. If Thou wilt, I will make here three tents??ne for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And Jesus came near, and, touching them, said, "Arise, and be not afraid."

And He, answering, said, "Elijah, indeed, comes, and will restore all things;

And Jesus, answering, said, "O faithless and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you? Bring him here to Me."

Then the disciples, coming near, said to Jesus privately, "Why could not we cast it out?"

And He saith to them, "Because of your little faith. For verily I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, 'Remove hence yonder,' and it will be removed, and nothing shall be impossible to you."

And, while they were assembled together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men;

And, when they came into Capernaum, those receiving the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, "Doth not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"

And, when he said, "From the aliens," Jesus said to him, "Consequently the sons are free;

and said, "Verily I say to you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Then Peter, coming near, said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?"
