Him

And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”

And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”

On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan.

Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.

And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

…and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and He healed them.

Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him,

But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

…if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

…and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.

Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.

While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.

Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

“Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.

But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.

And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.

Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.

…to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

He who has ears, let him hear.

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”

…and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,

…warning them not to make Him known.

“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.

Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”

Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.

He who has ears, let him hear.”

Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

…and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,

…because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.

When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.

Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him

…and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

…and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.

Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”

But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
