So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.

And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.

When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.

Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,

There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,

And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.

Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.

But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.

Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

…where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

…where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

He taught in their synagogues and was glorified by everyone.

Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read,

…the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

…the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written:

But I tell you truthfully that there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and great famine swept over all the land.

Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to the widow of Zarephath in Sidon.

And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff.

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice,

After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ.

But Jesus told them, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well, because that is why I was sent.”

On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,

While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.

One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.

Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon.

The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”

There a highly valued servant of a centurion was sick and about to die.

So Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends with the message: “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You come under my roof.

As He approached the town gate, He saw a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.

So John called two of his disciples and sent them to ask the Lord, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.

“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.

He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”

As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.

When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.

For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.

There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.

Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

…because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

…including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”

Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

They did so, and everyone was seated.

One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

And as He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became radiantly white.

They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

As Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)

While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

After the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with them. The disciples kept this to themselves, and in those days they did not tell anyone what they had seen.

The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.

Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
