But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.

"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.

A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and lamentation??achel weeping for her children, Inconsolable, because they were no more!

But I say to you that whoever looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

"It was also said, "Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of separation.

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress, and whoever marries her when so divorced, commits adultery.

He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and waited upon him.

Now there was, at some distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding;

and the demons began entreating him. "If you are driving us out," they said, "send us into the herd of swine."

He answered, "Go!" So they came out of the men, and went into the swine, and behold! the entire herd rushed headlong down from the cliff into the sea, and perished in the water.

And here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven."

As he was saying these words to them, a ruler came up and knelt before him, saying. "My daughter has just died; but come, put your hand upon her, and she will live."

But Jesus turned and saw her and said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that hour.

When, however, the crowd had been driven out, he went in and took her hand, and the little girl woke up.

"For I came to set "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

and the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Lo, a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners!' Nevertheless, Wisdom is justified by her deeds."

"But I tell you that One is here who is greater than the temple.

"The men of Nineveh will stand up in the Judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented under the preaching of Jonah, and lo! a greater than Jonah is here!

"The Queen of the South will rise in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! a greater than Solomon is here!

"This is indeed the smallest of seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than any herb, and becomes a tree, so that the winged things of the sky come and roost in its branches."

because John kept telling him, "It is not right for you to have her."

and so pleased Herod that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked for.

So, prompted by her mother, the girl said, "Give me at once, upon a dish, the head of John the Baptist."

The king was displeased because of this, but because of his oaths and his guests he ordered it to be given her.

the head was brought on a dish, and given to the young girl, who took it to her mother.

"We have nothing here," they replied, "except five loaves and two fishes."

"Bring them here to me," said Jesus.

But he answered her not a word. Then the disciples came up and kept beseeching him. "Send her away," they said, "because she wails after us."

Then Jesus answered her. "O woman, great is your faith. It shall be for you even as you desire." And from that hour her daughter was healed.

"Moreover I say to you that you are Petros (a rock), and on this petra (rock) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.

Solemnly I tell you, some of those who are standing here shall not taste death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Here he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.

Then Peter said to Jesus. "Master, it is good that we are here! If you are willing I will make here three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

In reply Jesus said: "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me!"

They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her 'a written bill of divorce,' and so to put her away?"

"And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."

"When he went out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, "'Why have you been standing here idle, all the day long?'

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, kneeling down and begging a favor of him.

"Go on into the village facing you, and at once you will find an ass tied, and her colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me.

they led back the ass and her colt, and placed their cloaks on them.

"'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding-garment?' "The man was speechless.

"In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? They all had her."

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets, and stoning those who have been sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

"You see all these buildings?" he answered them; "I tell you solemnly that there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be torn down."

"If at that time any one should say to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' believe him not.

"But immediately after the tribulation of those days, "The sun will be darkened, The moon will not shed her light, The stars will fall from the sky, And the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

"Learn from the fig tree, her parable; when her branches are become soft, and put forth leaves, you know that summer is near;

"In solemn truth I tell you that wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, what she has done shall be told about, as her memorial."

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit down here, while I go and pray yonder."

and he said to them. "My soul is an anguish, even unto death! Stay here, and keep watch with me."

He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Master was lying!

Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and without delay they told him about her.

So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

"Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and sister and mother."

"My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."

At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.

and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

Then he took the child's hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"

He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"

He even swore to her that whatever she asked, he would give it to her, up to half his kingdom.

So she came out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptist," she replied.

So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of John the Baptist on a charger."

Then the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oaths and his guests he was unwilling to disappoint her.

And he went and beheaded John in prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young girl, and she gave it to her mother.

Send the people away so that they may go to the farms and villages about here, and buy themselves something to eat."

After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.

(the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.

"In solemn truth I tell you," he said, "there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God, come with power."

Here in their presence he was transfigured; and his clothes also became glistering with a radiant whiteness, such as no bleaching on earth could give.

"Master," said Peter, addressing Jesus, "it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three tents one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."

"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.

"But those tenants said to themselves. 'Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

The second married her, and died without offspring; the third likewise;

and the seven had her, and died without issue.

And last of all the woman too died. In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the seven had her as wife."

for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."

"You see these mighty buildings? There shall not be left here one stone upon another which shall not be thrown down," he answered.

"At that time if any one tell you, 'See, here is Christ,' or 'See, there he is,' do not believe it;

"But when the tribulation is past, in those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed her light,

"From the fig tree learn now her parable; as soon as ever her branches are full of sap and bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.

So they began upbraiding her, but Jesus said: "Let her alone. Why are you troubling her?

I tell you in solemn truth that wherever the gospel is preached throughout the whole world, there what she has done shall be told in remembrance of her."

So they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit down here while I pray."

and he said to them. "My soul is full of anguish, even unto death; wait here, and keep watch."

They were terrified, but he said to them. "Do not be terrified! You are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified? He is risen; he is not here. See, the place where they laid him!

But they, although they heard that he was living and had been seen by her did not believe it.

to a maiden betrothed to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.

The angel went in and said to her. "Joy to you, highly favored one! "The Lord is with you."

Mary was greatly agitated at his word, and was revolving in her mind what this salutation could mean.

when the angel said to her. "Fear not Mary, for you have found grace with God.

"And behold your kinswoman, Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this was the sixth month with her that was called barren.

Then Mary said: "Behold I am Lord's slave. Let it be to me as you have said." Then the angel departed from her.

And when Elizabeth heard her salutation, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
