And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet;

and sending them to Bethlehem, said, Go and inquire diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, tell me, that I also may come and worship him.

And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come for the baptism, he said to them; Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

But Jesus answered and said to him, Suffer me now; for thus, it becomes us to complete all righteousness. Then he suffered him;

And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.

And he answered and said; It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God.

and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you, and they shall take you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not try the Lord your God.

and said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shade of death has light arisen.

And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishermen of men.

AND seeing the multitudes, he went on the mountain and sat down; and his disciples came to him.

You have heard that it was said by the ancients, You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be subject to the judgment.

You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery;

And it was said, Whoever would put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorcement.

Again, you have heard that it was said by the ancients, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths.

You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

and if a man wishes to have a law suit with you, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also;

You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.

And when you fast, be not like the hypocrites, of a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to fast. I tell you truly, they have their reward.

And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

He said to him, I will come and cure him.

And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not fit that you should come under my roof; but only say the word and my servant will be cured.

Jesus hearing wondered and said to those that followed him, I tell you truly, I have not found so great a faith with any one in Israel;

And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; as you have believed be it to you; and the servant was cured at that hour.

And Jesus seeing great multitudes around him commanded them to go away to the other side.

And a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have places of shelter, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

Another of the disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go away and bury my father.

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

And he said to them, Why are you afraid, men of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the lake, and there was a great calm.

And when he had come to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass that way.

And he said to them, Go. And going out, they went away into the herd of swine, and, behold, the whole herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and died in the waters;

and behold they brought him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven.

And behold some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

And Jesus observing their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of man has power on the earth to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.

And Jesus departing thence saw a man sitting at the custom-house, called Matthew; and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And when the Pharisees saw them they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?

And hearing it he said, The well need not a physician, but the sick.

And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they shalt fast.

for she said within herself, If I can only touch his garment I shall be cured.

And Jesus turning around and seeing her, said, Daughter, be of good courage, your faith has cured you. And the woman was cured from that hour.

said, Go away; for the girl is not dead, but asleep. And they derided him.

And when he had gone into the house the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

But the Pharisees said, He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.

Then he said to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers few.

I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a bride against her mother-in-law;

said to him, Are you he that was coming, or look we for another?

And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John what you see and hear;

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

Yes, Father, for so it has seemed good in thy sight.

And the Pharisees seeing it, said to him, Behold, your disciples do what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.

But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

And he said to them, What man is there of you having one sheep, who if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out?

Then he said to the man, Stretch out your hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored as sound as the other;

And all the multitudes wondered and said, Is this the Son of David?

But the Pharisees hearing it, said, This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, a ruler of the demons.

But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed; and no city or house divided against itself can stand.

But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and no sign shall be given it but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

And some one said to him, Behold your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak to you.

And he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?

and stretching out his hand to his disciples, he said, Behold my mother, and my brothers!

AND on that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.

And great multitudes came together to him; and he went into the ship and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the shore.

And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?

And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given;

When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and takes away the seed sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way.

He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy

And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field;

And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence then has it poisonous darnel?

And he said to them, An enemy has done this. And they said to him, Do you wish us to go and take them out?

And he said, No; lest in taking out the poisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it;

He delivered them another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field,

He spoke another parable to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened.

And he answered and said to them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;

the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one;

Have you understood all these thing? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

And he said to them, Every scribe therefore that is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who casts out of his treasury things new and old.

and coming to his native country he taught them in their synagogues, so that they were astonished and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these mighty works?

And they were offended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his native country, and in his own house;

and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised from the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by him.

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

and she, having been put forward by her mother, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

But Jesus said to them, They need not go away; give them food to eat.

And they said to him, We have here only five loaves and two fishes.

And he said, Bring them here to me.

And commanding the multitudes to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and, looking up to heaven, blessed them, and having broken them gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

And he immediately constrained the disciples to go into a ship and go before him to the other side, till he should dismiss the multitudes.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were troubled and said, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.

And Peter answered and said to him, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.

And he said, Come. And Peter going down from the ship walked on the waters to go to Jesus.

and Jesus immediately stretching out his hand, took hold of him and said, Man of little faith, why did you doubt?

And he answered and said to them, Why do you transgress the command of God by your tradition?

For God said, Honor your father and mother; and he that reviles father or mother, let him surely die.

And having called the multitude, he said, Hear and understand.

Then the disciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?
