and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.'

and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, `Out of Egypt I did call My Son.'

And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt,

and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee,

and do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have--Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham,

And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him,

and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son--the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God--speak that these stones may become loaves.'

But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God--cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'

Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

Then saith Jesus to him, `Go--Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

`Happy the clean in heart--because they shall see God.

`Happy the peacemakers--because they shall be called Sons of God.

so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

but I--I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God,

nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king,

that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.

ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect.

`Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not--reward ye have not from your Father who is in the heavens;

that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

`But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;

thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who art in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.
