When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came Sages from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are

come to adore him. And Herod the King hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And assembling together all the high Priests and the Scribes of the people, he inquired of them where

Christ should be born. But they said to him, In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the Prophet: 6 And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda, art not the least among the Princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the Captain that

shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod secretly calling the Sages, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them: 8 and sending them into Bethlehem, said, Go, and inquire diligently of the child: and when you shall find him, make report to me, that I also may come and adore him.

9 Who having heard the king, went their way and behold the star which they had seen in the East, went before them, until it came and stood over, where the child was. 10 And seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down adored him: and opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their

country.

13 And after they were departed, behold an Angel of our Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Who arose, and took the

Cum ergo natus esset Jesus in Bethlehem Juda in 2 diebus Herodis regis, ecce magi ab Oriente venerunt Ierosolymam, dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex 2 Judæorum? vidimus enim stellam ejus in Oriente, et Audiens autem Herodes rex, 3 venimus adorare eum. turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.

At illi 5 dixerunt ei: In Bethlehem Judæ: Sic enim scriptum est per prophetam: Et tu Bethlehem terra Juda, 6 nequaquam minima es in principibus Juda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.

Tunc Herodes clam vocatis magis, diligenter didicit 7 ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ apparuit eis: et mittens illos 8 in Bethlehem dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renunciate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.

Et intrantes II domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre ejus, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham. Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, 12 per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.

Qui cum recessissent, ecce angelus Domini apparuit 13 in somnis Joseph, dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum et matrem ejus, et fuge in Egyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quærat puerum ad perdendum eum. Qui consurgens accepit 14

Tunc Herodes videns quoniam illusus esset a magis, iratus est valde, et mittens occidit omnes pueros, qui erant in Bethlehem, et in omnibus finibus ejus, a bimatu et infra, secundum tempus, quod exquisierat a magis. 17 Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam 18 prophetam dicentem: Vox in Rama audita est, ploratus et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.

Audiens autem quod Archelaus naret in Judæa pro Herode patre suo, timuit illò ire: 23 et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilææ. Et veniens habitavit in civitate, quæ vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetas: Quoniam Nazaræus vocabitur.

Ipse autem Joannes habebat vestimentum de pilis camelorum, et zonam pelliceam circa lumbos suos: esca autem ejus erat locustæ, et mel silvestre.

Tunc exibat ad eum Ierosolyma, et omnis Judæa, 6 et omnis regio circa Jordanem; et baptizabantur ab eo 7 in Jordane, confitentes peccata sua. Videns autem multos Pharisæorum et Sadducæorum venientes ad baptismum suum, dixit eis:

Tunc 16 And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo the heavens were dimisit eum.

Et cum jejunasset quadraginta 2 diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit. accedens tentator dixit ei: Si filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant. Qui respondens dixit: Scriptum 4 est: Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei.

saying, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

Then Jesus was led of the Spirit into the desert, to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry. And the tempter approached and said to him, If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 Who answered and said, It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that pro

Illi autem statim called them. And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him. relictis retibus et patre, secuti sunt eum. 23 Et circuibat Jesus totam Galilæam, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans evangelium regni, et sanans omnem languorem et omnem infirmitatem in populo. 24 Et abiit opinio ejus in totam Syriam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes, variis languoribus et tormentis comprehensos, et qui dæmonia habebant, et lunaticos, 25 et paralyticos, et curavit eos: et secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ de Galilæa, et Decapoli, et de Ierosolymis, et de Judæa, et de trans Jordanem.

5

Videns autem Jesus turbas, ascendit in montem, et 2 cum sedisset, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus: et aperiens os suum docebat eos, dicens:

23 And Jesus went round about all Galilee, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every

teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching malady and every infirmity in the people. And the bruit of him went into all Syria, and they presented to him all that were ill at ease, diversly taken with diseases and lunatics, and sick of the palsy, and he cured torments, and such as were possessed, and them: 2 and much people followed him from Galilee and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and

from beyond Jordan.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up

into a mountain: and when he was set, his

Disciples came unto him, and opening his mouth he taught them, saying,

13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose his virtue, wherewith shall it be salted? 14 It is good for nothing any more but to be cast forth, and to be trodden of men. 15 You are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid, situated on a mountain. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that

it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men: that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

18 Do not think that I am come to break the Law or the Prophets. I am not come to break: but to fulfil. 19 For assuredly I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall not pass of the that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men: shall be called the least in the Kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach: he shall be

Scribarum of old: Thou shalt not kill, and whoso kill- qui autem occiderit, reus erit judicio. Audistis quia dictum est antiquis: Non occides: 21 eth, shall be in danger of judgment. But dico vobis: quia omnis, qui irascitur fratri suo, I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of judgment. Ego autem 22 And whosoever shall say to his brother, reus erit concilio. Qui autem dixerit, Fatue: reus erit reus erit judicio. Raca: shall be in danger of a council. And Qui autem dixerit fratri whosoever shall say, Thou fool: shall be gehennæ ignis. Si suo, Raca: guilty of the hell of fire.

28 You have heard that it was said to them

of old, Thou shalt not commit adultery, 29 But I say to you, that whosoever shall see a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. 30 And if thy right eye scandalise thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy limbs perish, rather than thy whole body be cast into hell. 31 And if thy right hand scandalise thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy limbs perish, rather than that thy whole body go into hell.

32 It was said also, whosoever shall dismiss his wife, let him give her a bill of

divorcement. 33 But I say to you,

Whoso

ever shall dismiss his wife, excepting the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery and he that shall marry her that is dismissed, committeth adultery.
