Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham.

and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother, Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,

Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him;

But Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers him.

And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him:

Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:

Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

And Jesus went round the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,

And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no man, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

And Jesus says to him, I will come and heal him.

And when Jesus heard it, he wondered, and said to those who followed, Verily I say unto you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

And when Jesus had come to Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law laid down and in a fever;

And Jesus, seeing great crowds around him, commanded to depart to the other side.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven roosting-places; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

And behold, the whole city went out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their coasts.

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do ye think evil things in your hearts?

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

And Jesus rose up and followed him, and so did his disciples.

But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.

But as they went away, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?

At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.

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

But Jesus knowing it, withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

And that same day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,

Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.

And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and came and brought word to Jesus.

And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard of it followed him on foot from the cities.

But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.

But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I: be not afraid.

And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.

And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith is great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

But Jesus, having called his disciples to him, said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

And Jesus said to them, See and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And Jesus knowing it, said, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no bread?

But when Jesus was come into the parts of Caesarea-Philippi, he demanded of his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples that he must go away to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.

And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.

And Jesus coming to them touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.

And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among the dead.

And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said to him, Why were not we able to cast him out?

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

And Jesus having called a little child to him, set it in their midst,

Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;

But Jesus, looking on them, said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples with him apart in the way, and said to them,

And Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.

But Jesus having called them to him, said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations exercise lordship over them, and the great exercise authority over them.

And lo, two blind men, sitting by the wayside, having heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David.

And Jesus, having stopped, called them and said, What will ye that I shall do to you?

And Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes had sight restored to them, and they followed him.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,

And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.

and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
