Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, TOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child, and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and dee into Egypt, and he thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou and his mother by night, and departed into shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all is was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth Herod's cruelty ST.

N those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdon of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one cry ing in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his Joins and his meat was locusts and wild boney. 17 And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. CHAP. IV. 1 Christ fasteth, is tempted, and overcometh: 17 beginneth to preach, and calleth some to be his disciples. TH HEN was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan, 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I 6 And we baptized of him in Jordan, con-give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship fessing their sins. me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thes hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt wor ship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to serve. come? 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and behold, 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for re-angels came and ministered unto him. pentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to yaise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the Boot of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than 1, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat Into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee: 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim; 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light: aud to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaveny is at hand. 18 ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of fin filee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, meading their nets: and ne called them. His sermon on the mount. 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: 1 am not come to destroy, but to fulfil 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fuli ned. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach mea so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 22 And they immediately left the ship and 20 For I say unto you, That except your their father, and followed him. righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teach-the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case ing in their synagogues, and preaching the enter into the kingdom of heaven. gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of sickness and all manner of disease among of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and who the people. soever shall kill shall be in danger of the judg 24 And his fame went throughout all Sy-ment: ria: and they brought unto him all sick peo- 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is ple that were taken with divers diseases and angry with his brother without a cause shall be torments, and those which were possessed in danger of the judgment: and whosoever with devils, and those which were lunatic, shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danand those that had the palsy; and he healed ger of the council: but whosoever shall them. say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 25 And there followed him great multitudes of people froin Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan. CHAP. V. Who are blessed. 13 The Apostles are the salt of the earth, and light of the world. ND seeing the multitudes, he went up into A a mountain, and when he was set, his dis ciples came unto him. 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 23 Therefore, if thou bring tny gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him: lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.' 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said by 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall in-them of old time, Thou shalt not commit herit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peace-makers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the king dom of heaven. adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish. and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that ry nie hedy should be cast into 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all man-heli ner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 31been said, Whosoever shall put 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for away his wife, let him give her a writing of di great is your reward in heaven: for so perse-vorcement: cuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery. 33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the earth; for it is his cotstool • neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King |
