2:19And when Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, in Egypt, saying, 2:20Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead that sought the young child's life. 2:21And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went into the land of Israel. 2:22But hearing that Archelaus reigned over Judea in the place of Herod his father, he was afraid to go there; but being divinely instructed in a dream, he departed into the parts of Galilee, 2:23and went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that the word spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, He shall be called a Nazoraean.
CHAPTER III.
CHRIST'S BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION.
1 3:1AND in those days came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 3:2Change your minds, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 3:3For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying; A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3:4And this John had his clothes of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 3:5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan, 3:6and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
2 3:7And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come for the baptism, he said to them; Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8Bear fruit, therefore, worthy of a change of mind; 3:9and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham; 3:10and already the axe lies at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which bears not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 3:11I indeed baptize you with water to a change of mind; but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not fit to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and fire; 3:12whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with an inextinguishable fire.
3 3:13Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 3:14But, he refused him, saying, I have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me? 3:15But Jesus answered and said to him, Suffer me now; for thus, it becomes us to complete all righteousness. Then he suffered him; 3:16and Jesus being baptized went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and come upon him. 3:17And behold, a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
4 4:1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. 4:2And having fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterwards hungry. 4:3And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread. 4:4And he answered and said; It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. 4:5Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 4:6and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you, and they shall take you up on their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone. 4:7Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not try the Lord your God. 4:8Again the devil took him away on a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, 4:9and said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me. 4:10Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. 4:11Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and waited on him.
CHAPTER IV.
CHRIST COMMENCING HIS PUBLIC MINISTRY.
1 4:12AND when he heard that John was delivered up, he departed to Galilee; 4:13and leaving Nazareth he came and lived at Capernaum on the lake, in the bounds of Zebulon and Naphtali, 4:14that the word might be fulfilled, spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; 4:15Land of Zebulon and Naphtali, by the way of the lake, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations, 4:16the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shade of death has light arisen. 4:17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Change your minds; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2 4:18And walking by the lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 4:19And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishermen of men. 4:20And they left their nets, immediately, and followed him. 4:21And going forward thence, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 4:22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
3 4:23And he went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people. 4:24And his fame went out into all Syria; and they brought him all that were ill, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them; 4:25and great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
CHAPTER V.
CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
1 5:1AND seeing the multitudes, he went on the mountain and sat down; and his disciples came to him. 5:2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying; 5:3Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:5Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 5:4Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5:6Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. 5:7Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 5:8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 5:9Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called children of God. 5:10Blessed are the persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:11Blessed are you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil against you, falsely, for my sake. 5:12Rejoice and exult, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
2 5:13You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its strength, with what shall it be seasoned? It is good for nothing more, except being cast out to be trodden upon by men. 5:14You are the light of the world. A city situated on a mountain cannot be hid. 5:15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick,
