10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with MaryHis mother, and fell down, and worshiped Him. And when they had opened theirtreasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.12 And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,they departed into their own country another way.13 Now when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared toJoseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee intoEgypt, and wait there until I bring you word; because Herod will seek the young Childto destroy Him.”14 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departedinto Egypt,15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which wasspoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I have called MySon.”16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked because of the wise men, wasexceedingly angry; and he sent forth and killed all the children who were in Bethlehemand in all of its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time whichhe had diligently inquired of the wise men.17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,saying:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are nomore.”19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dreamto Joseph in Egypt,20 saying, “Arise, and take the young Child and His mother, and go into the landof Israel, because those who sought the young Child’s life are dead.”21 Then he arose, and took the young Child and His mother, and came into theland of Israel.22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in the position of hisfather Herod, he was afraid to go there. However being warned of God in a dream, heturned aside into the region of Galilee.23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilledwhich was spoken through the prophets, “He will be called a Nazarene.”Chapter 31 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,2 and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”9

3 Because, this is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: “Thevoice of one shouting in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make Hispaths straight.’”4 Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around hiswaist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism,he said to them, “O generation of vipers! Who has warned you to escape from thewrath to come?8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,9 and do not think to say within yourselves, ‘we have Abraham as our father.’Because, I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from thesestones.10 And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every treewhich does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.11 I indeed baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after meis mightier than me, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you withthe Holy Spirit and with fire.12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean His threshingfloor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse; but He will burn up the chaff withunquenchable fire.”13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.14 But John prevented Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are Youcoming to me?”15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, because it is fittingfor us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.16 And when He was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; andbehold, the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God descendinglike a dove, and lighting upon Him.17 And behold a voice from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom Iam well pleased.”Chapter 41 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by thedevil.2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God,command that these stones become bread.”10

4 But He replied and said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live by bread alone, but byevery word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on a pinnacle of thetemple,6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. Because itis written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You,’ and, ‘in their hands theywill hold You up, lest at any time You strike Your foot against a stone.’”7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD yourGod.’”8 Again, the devil took Him up onto a very high mountain, and showed Him allthe kingdoms of the world and their glory.9 And he said to Him, “I will give You all these things, if You will fall down andworship me.”10 Then Jesus said to Him, “Leave Satan! Because it is written, ‘You shall worshipthe LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.12 Now when Jesus had heard that John had been thrown into prison, Hedeparted to Galilee.13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the seacoast, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyondthe Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light, and upon those whosat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent, because thekingdom of heaven is at hand.”18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter,and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; because they were fishermen.19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”20 And they immediately left their nets, and followed Him.21 And going on from there, He saw two more brethren, James the son ofZebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending theirnets, and He called them.22 And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.23 Then Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preachingthe gospel of the kingdom, and healing all types of sickness and every kind of diseaseamong the people.24 And His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him every sickperson who was afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who werepossessed with demons, those who were insane, and paralytics; and He healed them.11

25 And large crowds of people followed Him from Galilee, and from Decapolis,Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.Chapter 51 And seeing the crowds, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seatedHis disciples came to Him.2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will befilled.7 Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called the children of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, because theirs isthe kingdom of heaven.11 “Blessed are you when men revile you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evilagainst you falsely, for My sake.12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because great is your reward in heaven,because they also persecuted the prophets who were before you.13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how will it besalted? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfootby men.14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and itgives light to all who are in the house.16 Let your light shine like this before men, that they may see your good worksand glorify your Father who is in heaven.17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not cometo destroy but to fulfill.18 Because, truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or onetittle will by no means pass from the law, until all is fulfilled.19 Whoever therefore breaks one of these least commandments, but teaches menso, he will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teachesthem, they will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 Because, I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness ofthe scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.21 “You have heard that it was said by those of old times, ‘You shall not murder,and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’12

22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause will bein danger of the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be indanger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of hell fire.23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that yourbrother has something against you,24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled toyour brother, and then come and offer your gift.25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest atan time your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to theofficer, and you be thrown into prison.26 Truly, I say to you, you will by no means come out of there until you have paidthe last penny.27 “You have heard that it was said by those of old times, ‘You shall not commitadultery.’28 But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her hascommitted adultery with her already in his heart.29 And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out, and cast it from you; because, itis more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than your entirebody to be thrown into hell.30 And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and cast it from you; because, it ismore profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not that yourentire body be cast into hell.31 “It has been said, ‘whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate ofdivorce.’32 But I say to you, that whoever puts away his wife for any reason except sexualimmorality, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who isdivorced commits adultery.33 “Again, you have heard that it has been said to those of old times, ‘You shallnot swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, because it is God’sthrone;35 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because it is thecity of the great King.36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair whiteor black.37 But let your communication be, ‘yes,’ ‘yes,’ or ‘no,’ ‘no.’ Because whatever goesbeyond these is from evil.38 “You have heard that it has been said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for atooth.’39 But I tell you that you should not resist a wicked person. But whoever slaps youon your right cheek, turn the other to him also.13

40 And if anyone wants to sue you at the law and take away your coat, let himhave your cloak also.41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go two with him.42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you donot turn away.43 “You have heard that it has been said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hateyour enemy.’44 But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good tothose who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,45 that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven; because, Hemakes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and onthe unjust.46 Because, if you love those who love you, what reward do you gain? Do noteven the tax collectors do the same?47 And if you only greet your brethren, what do you do more than others? Do noteven tax collectors do so?48 Therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.Chapter 61 “Beware that you do not do your charitable deeds in front of men, to be seen bythem. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.2 Therefore, when you do your charitable deeds, do not sound a trumpet beforeyou, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may haveglory from men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.3 But when you do charitable deeds, do not let your left hand know what yourright hand is doing,4 that your charitable deeds may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secretwill Himself reward you openly.5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites are. Because, they loveto pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may beseen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door,pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will rewardyou openly.7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. Because, theythink that they will be heard because of their many words.8 “Therefore do not be like them. Because, your Father knows the things youhave need of before you ask Him.9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Yourname.14

10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.11 Give us this day our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Because, Yours isthe kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.14 “Because, if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will alsoforgive you.15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgiveyour trespasses.16 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sadcountenance. Because, they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to befasting. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward.17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face,18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in thatsecret place; and your Father who sees in secret, will reward you openly.19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rustcorrupts, and where thieves break in and steal;20 but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rustcorrupts, and where thieves do not break in nor steal.21 Because, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.22 “The light of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is single, your entirebody will be full of light.23 But if your eye is corrupt, your entire body will be filled with darkness.Therefore if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!24 “No one can serve two masters; because, either he will hate the one and lovethe other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serveGod and mammon.25 “Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eator what you shall drink; nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not this lifemore than food and the body more than clothing?26 Look at the birds of the air, because, they neither sow nor reap nor gather intobarns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value thanthem?27 Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature?28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how theygrow: they neither toil nor spin;29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like oneof these.30 Now if God clothes the grass of the field like that, which today exists, andtomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of littlefaith?15

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or, ‘What shall we drink?’or, ‘What shall we wear?’32 (Because, the Gentiles seek after all these things.) Because your heavenlyFather knows that you have need of all these things.33 But you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all thesethings will be added to you.34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will be concernedfor the issues of itself. Sufficient for the day is its own evil.Chapter 71 “Judge not, that you be not judged.2 Because, with the judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measureyou use, it will be measured back to you.3 And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do notconsider the plank that is in your own eye?4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’;and behold, a plank is in your own eye?5 You hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will seeclearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.6 “Do not give that which is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine,lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and attack you.7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will beopened to you.8 Because, everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him thatknocks it will be
