The Birth of Jesus Christ

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,

And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt

And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.

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.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”

And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”

And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told Jesus.

And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.”

The Transfiguration

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them,

This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,

but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.

Institution of the Lord's Supper

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”

And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers.

Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,

Pilate Delivers Jesus to Be Crucified

So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves.”

Jesus Is Mocked

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.

And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink.

When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud

And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
