Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him.

After the baptism of Jesus, and just as he came up from the water, the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending, like a dove, and alighting upon him,

And from the heavens there came a voice which said: "This is my son, the Beloved, in whom I delight."

And the Tempter came to him, and said: "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread."

Then the Devil left him alone, and angels came and ministered to him.

On seeing the crowds of People, Jesus went up the hill; and, when he had taken his seat, his disciples came up to him;

And he saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said: "Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."

After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a Captain in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.

And a Teacher of the Law came up to him, and said: "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

Suddenly so great a storm came on upon the Sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;

And the disciples came and roused him. "Master," they cried, "save us; we are lost!"

"Go," he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole drove rushed down the steep slope into the Sea, and died in the water.

Afterwards Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.

And, later on, when he was at table in the house, a number of tax-gatherers and outcasts came in and took their places at table with Jesus and his disciples.

Then John's disciples came to Jesus, and asked: "Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?"

While Jesus was saying this, a President of a Synagogue came up and bowed to the ground before him. "My daughter," he said, "Has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life."

But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.

When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them: "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Master!" they answered.

For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, men said 'He has a demon in him';

At the Judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the present generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the very ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!

As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said: "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

But, while every one was asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and then went away.

So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the tares made their appearance also.

On this the owner's servants came to him, and said 'Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the tares in it come from?'

Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said: "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."

But, when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before his guests, and so pleased Herod,

Then John's disciples came, and took the body away, and buried it; and went and told Jesus.

In the evening the disciples came up to him, and said: " This is a lonely spot, and the day is now far advanced; send the crowds away, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food."

Three hours after midnight, however, Jesus came towards the disciples, walking on the water.

Then some Pharisees and Teachers of the Law came to Jesus, and said:

On this his disciples came up to him, and said: "Do you know that the Pharisees were shocked on hearing what you said?"

There, a Canaanite woman of that district came out and began calling to Jesus: "Take pity on me, Master, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed by a demon."

But Jesus did not answer her a word; and his disciples came up and begged him to send her away. "She keeps calling out after us," they said.

But the woman came, and, bowing to the ground before him, said: "Master, help me."

Great crowds of people came to him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, or dumb, and many others. They put them down at his feet, and he cured them;

Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.

But Jesus came and touched them, saying as he did so: "Rise up, and do not be afraid."

When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said:

Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy; and he was cured from that very hour.

Afterwards the disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately: "Why was it that we could not drive it out?"

After they had reached Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple-rate came up to Peter, and said: "Does not your Master pay the Temple-rate?"

On the same occasion the disciples came to Jesus, and asked him: "Who is really the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

Then Peter came up, and said to Jesus: "Master, how often am I to forgive my Brother when he wrongs me? As many as seven times?"

But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow-servants who owed him ten pounds. Seizing him by the throat, he said 'Pay what you owe me.'

Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said: "Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?"

And a man came up to Jesus, and said: "Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain Immortal life?"

I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"

Then the mother of Zebediah's sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favor.

Just as the Son of Man came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.

After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation came up to him as he was teaching, and said: " What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?"

For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax-gatherers and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.

So he said to him 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding-robe?' The man was speechless.

That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:--

You blind guides, to strain out a gnat and to swallow a camel!

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! She who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her--Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not came!

Leaving the Temple Courts, Jesus was walking away, when his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings.

So, while Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came up to him privately and said: "Tell us when this will be, and what will be the sign of your Coming, and of the close of the age."

Taking not notice till the flood came and swept them one and all away; and so will it be at the Coming of the Son of Man.

But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.

Afterwards the other bridesmaids came. 'Sir, Sir,' they said, 'open the door to us!'

The man who had received the three thousand pounds came up and brought three thousand more. 'Sir,' he said, 'you entrusted me with three thousand pounds; look, I have made another three thousand!'

Then the one who had received the twelve hundred pounds came up and said 'Sir, you entrusted me with twelve hundred pounds; look, I have made another twelve hundred!'

The man who had received the six hundred pounds came up, too, and said 'Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;

When I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.'

a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very costly perfume, and poured the perfume upon his head as he was at table.

On the first day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said: "Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

Then Jesus came with them to a garden called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples: "Sit down here while I go and pray yonder."

Then he came to his disciples, and found them asleep. "What!" he said to Peter, "could none of you watch with me for one hour?

Then he came to the disciples, and said: "Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Hark! my time is close at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

And, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came in sight; and with him was a great crowd of people, with swords and clubs, sent from the Chief Priests and Councillors of the Nation.

But they did not find any, although many came forward with false evidence. Later on, however, two men came forward and said:

Peter, meanwhile, was sitting outside in the courtyard; and a maidservant came up to him, and exclaimed: "Why, you were with Jesus the Galilean!"

But soon afterwards those who were standing by came up and said to Peter: "You also are certainly one of them; why, your very way of speaking proves it!"

As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene of the name of Simon; and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.

After mid-day a darkness came over all the country, lasting till three in the afternoon.

When evening had fallen, there came a rich man belonging to Ramah, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

The next day--that is, the day following the Preparation-Day- -the Chief Priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said:

When suddenly a great earthquake occurred. For an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and seated himself upon it.

While they were still on their way, some of the guard came into the city, and reported to the Chief Priests everything that had happened.

And told them to say that his disciples came in the night, and stole him while they were asleep;

Then Jesus came up, and spoke to them thus: "All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to me.
