And all the Judean country and the Jerusalemites were going out unto him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And coming up straightway from the water, He saw the heavens open and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him.

And immediately the Spirit casts Him out into the wilderness.

And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels continued to minister unto Him.

And immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.

and immediately He called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired hands, they departed after Him.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out from him.

And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a great voice, came out from him.

And they were all astonished, so that they were inquiring one to another, saying, What is this? what new teaching is this? Because according to authority He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him;

And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying down burning with fever; and immediately they speak to Him concerning her:

And it being evening, when the sun went down, they were carrying to Him all the sick and demonized;

And He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

And Simon and those who were with him followed Him.

And they found Him, and say to Him, All are seeking after thee.

And a leper comes to Him, entreating Him, and bowing the knee to Him, and saying to Him, That if thou mayest be willing, thou art able to cleanse me.

And Jesus being moved with compassion, reaching forth His hand, touched him, and says to him, I will; be thou cleansed.

And He speaking, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

And charging him, He immediately sent him away,

and says to him, See that you may speak nothing to any one: but go, show thyself unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And he having gone out, began to proclaim many things, and to publish abroad the word, so that He was no longer able openly to come into the city, but was out in desert places: and they continued to come to Him from all directions.

And they come to Him, carrying a paralytic, borne by four.

And not being able to come near Him on account of the crowd, they opened the roof where He was: and having lifted it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

And He came out again by the sea; and the whole multitude came to Him, and He was teaching them.

And passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus sitting at the toll, and says to him, Follow me. And rising up, he followed Him.

And it came to pass, while He was sitting at the table in his house, and many publicans and sinners were sitting along with Jesus and his disciples: for they were many, and they followed Him.

And the scribes and Pharisees, seeing Him eating with the publicans and sinners, were saying to His disciples, Why does He eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

The disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to Him; Wherefore do the disciples of John and the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?

And the Pharisees continued to say to Him, Behold what they are doing on the Sabbath, which is not lawful.

And He said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, and those with him?

How he entered into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priest, and he gave it to those being with him?

And they were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse Him.

And the Pharisees, having gone out immediately along with the Herodians, took counsel against Him in order that they might kill Him.

And Jesus departed with His disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed Him from Galilee, and from Judea,

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan, and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing so many things that He was doing, came to Him.

And He said to His disciples, that a little boat should wait on Him in order that they may not tread on Him.

For He healed many; so that they were falling before Him so that they might touch Him, so many as had diseases.

And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and were crying out, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

And He charged them much that they should not make Him known.

And He goes up into the mountain, and calls whom He wished: and they went away to Him.

And He made twelve (apostles) that they may be with Him and that He may send them out to preach,

who also betrayed Him.

And those along with Him hearing came out to arrest Him: for they continued to say, He is beside Himself.

And calling them to Him, He continued to speak to them in parables, How is Satan able to cast out Satan?

And His mother and His brothers come; and standing without, sent to Him, calling Him.

And the crowd was sitting round Him; and they say to Him, Behold thy mother and thy brothers without are seeking thee.

And looking round on His disciples sitting about Him in a circle, He says, Behold my mother and my brothers!

And again He began to teach by the sea: and a great multitude is gathered unto Him, so that He having gone into a ship, sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was at the sea on the land.

And when they were alone, and those around Him along with the twelve asked Him the parable.

If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.

For whosoever has, it shall be given unto him: and he who has not, it shall be taken from him even that which he has.

And leaving the multitude, they receive Him, as He was in the ship; and other ships were also with Him.

And He was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awaken Him, and say to Him; Teacher, is there no care to thee that we perish?

And they feared with a great fear, and continued to say to one another, Who then is this, because the wind and the sea obey Him?

And a man from the tombs, with an unclean spirit met Him, having come out of the ship;

who had his dwelling among the tombs: neither was any one able to bind him with chains;

because frequently he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were slipped off by him, and the fetters torn to pieces.

No one was able to tame him: and all the time, night and day, he was among the tombs in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

And seeing Jesus a great way off, he ran to Him, and worshiped Him;

For He said to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.

And He asked him, What is thy name? And he says to Him, My name is Legion; because we are many.

And he continued to intreat Him much, that He would not send them out of the country.

And they intreated Him, saying, Send us into the swine, in order that we may go into them.

And they began to intreat Him to depart from their coasts.

And He having come to the ship, the demonized man intreated Him that he should be with Him.

And He did not permit him, but says to him, Go to thine own house to thy people, and proclaim to them how many things the Lord has done for thee, and had mercy on thee.

And he went away, and began to preach in Decapolis, how many things Jesus did to him. And all were astonished.

And Jesus crossing over in the ship again to the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto Him; and He was by the sea.

And one of the chief rulers of the synagogue, by name jairus, comes; and seeing Him falls at His feet,

and intreats Him much saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: that coming He may lay hands on her, in order that she may be saved and live.

And He departed with him; and a great multitude followed Him, even treading on Him.

And immediately Jesus, knowing in Himself that the powerhas gone out from Him, turning in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments?

And His disciples continued to say to Him, You see the crowd treading upon you, and you say, Who touched me?

And the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what has taken place unto herself, came and fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

and He did not permit any one to accompany Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And they hooted at Him. And putting them all out, He takes the father and mother of the child and those with Him, and goes in where the child was.

And He came out thence and comes into His own country; and His disciples follow Him:

and it being the Sabbath day, He began to preach in the synagogue: and many hearing were astonished, saying, Whence are these things to this one? and, What wisdom is given unto Him? Such miracles are wrought by His hands.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? the brother of James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended in Him.

And He calls the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two; and He gave them authority over unclean spirits.

And king Herod heard; for His name became known: and said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are wrought in Him.

For Herod himself having sent, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: because he married her.

And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;

for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.

and the daughter of Herodias herself, having come in and danced, and pleased Herod and those sitting with him; the king said to the damsel. Ask what you may wish, and I will give it to you.

And she having come in to the king, immediately with haste asked him, saying; I wish, that you may give to me immediately, the head of John the Baptist in a charger.

And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.

And having departed, he beheaded him in prison: and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

The apostles return to Jesus, and related unto Him all things, even so many as they did, and so many as they taught.

And the multitudes saw them going, and many recognized them, and they ran together thither on foot from many cities, and came before them and came together to Him.

And already the hour being late, His disciples coming to Him, say, That it is a desert place, and the hour is already late:

And responding He said to them, You give to them to eat. And they say to Him, Having gone away must we purchase the loaves of two hundred denaria, and give them to eat?

And immediately He constrained His disciples to embark into the ship, and go before Him to the other side to Bethsaida, until He shall send away the multitude.

But they, seeing Him walking on the sea, thought it was a specter, and cried out.

For they all saw Him, and were alarmed. And immediately He spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good cheer; I am He; be not afraid.

And they having come out from the ship, immediately recognizing Him,

And when He departed into the villages, or cities, or countries, they placed the sick in the forums, and call upon Him, and continued to intreat Him that they should touch the hem of His garment: and so many as touched Him were saved.

And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands?

and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;

And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
