A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his beaten paths straight.

And the Judean country, and the Jerusalemites, were going out to him, and all were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, acknowledging their sins.

And quickly coming up from the water, he saw the heavens cleft asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him:

And directly the Spirit casts him, out into the desert.

And he was there in the desert forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with wild beasts; and messengers were serving him.

And quickly having left their nets, they followed him.

And quickly he called them: and having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings; they went after him.

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

And the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came out of him.

And all were amazed, so as to seek out with themselves, saying, What is this? what new teaching this? for with power also he commands the unclean spirits, and they listen to him.

And a report of him went out quickly in the whole country about Galilee.

And Simon's mother-in-law was laid down, affected with fever: and quickly they speak to him concerning her.

And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to him all being afflicted, and the possessed with a demon.

And be cured many afflicted with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and permitted not the devils to speak, for they knew him.

And Simon, and they with him, followed him.

And having found him, they say to him, That all seek thee.

And a leprous one came to him, beseeching him, and supplicating him on his knees, and saying to him, That if thou wouldst, thou canst cleanse me.

And Jesus, having felt compassion, having stretched out the hand, touched him, and says to him, I will: be thou cleansed.

And he having spoken, quickly the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

And having threatened him violently, quickly he cast him forth:

And says to him, See thou say nothing to any one: but retire, shew thyself to the priest, and bring forward for thy cleansing what things Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim many things, and to spread the word a report, so that he could no more openly enter the city, but was without in desert places: and they come to him from every quarter.

And they come to him, bringing a paralytic, lifted up by four.

And not being able to draw near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was and having excavated, they let down his couch upon which the paralytic was laid.

And he went out again by the sea; and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

And passing by, he saw Levi, him of Alpheus, sitting by the customhouse, and he says to him, Follow me. And having risen, he followed him.

And it was in his reclining at table in his house, and many publicans and sinful reclined together with Jesus and his disciples: for they were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes and Pharisees having seen him eating with publicans and sinful, said to his disciples, Why does he eat and drink with publicans and sinful?

And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, and the disciples to thee fast not?

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they in the sabbaths what is not lawful

And he said to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and hungered, himself, and those with him?

How he went into the house of God to Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of setting up, which is not lawful to eat but for priests, and gave to those being with him?

And they were observing him narrowly, if in the sabbaths he will heal him; that they might accuse him.

And the Pharisees having come out, quickly with the Herodians were making counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

And Jesus withdrew with, his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what he did, came to him.

And he said to his disciples, that a small vessel should remain for him, on account of the crowd, that they might not press him.

For he cured many; so as to fall upon him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell before him, and cried, saying, That thou art the Son of God.

And he censured them much, lest they should make him manifest.

And he goes up to a mountain, and calls whom he would: and they came to him.

And he made the twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to proclaim,

And James, him of Zebedee, and John brother of James; and he set to them names Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James him of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

And Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.

And they with him, having heard, came forth to take hold of him: for they said, That he is affected in mind.

Then came his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, they sent to him, calling him.

And the crowd sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek thee.

And having looked round upon those sitting round about him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren!

And again he began to teach by the sea: and a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that he, having gone into the ship, sat in the sea; and all the crowd was by the sea upon land.

And he said to them, He having ears to hear, let him hear.

And when he was alone, they about him with the twelve asked him of the parable.

Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

For whoever should have, to him shall be given: and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

And having let the crowd go, they receive him as he was in the ship. And there were also other small vessels with him.

And he was upon the back part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow: and they aroused him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And they feared a great fear, and said to one another, Who is this, that also the wind and sea listen to him

And to him coming out of the ship, quickly a man met him from the monuments with an unclean spirit,

Who had a dwelling among the monuments; and neither with chains could any one bind him:

For he had been bound many times with fetters and chains, and the chains were torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and none could tame him.

And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him.

For he said to him, Come forth out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What the name to thee? And he answered, saying, My name, Legion: for we are many.

And he besought him much that he would not send them out of the country.

And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we might enter into them.

And they come to Jesus, and they see him possessed with the demon, sitting down, and being clothed, and of sound mind: and they were afraid.

And they having seen, recounted to them how it was to him possessed with the demon, and concerning the swine.

And they began to beseech him to depart out of their bounds.

And he having gone into the ship, he having been possessed with a demon besought him that he might be with him.

And Jesus permitted him not; but he says to him, Retire to thy house, to thine own, and announce to them what things the Lord did to thee, and he pitied thee.

And he went away, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what Jesus did to him: and all were wondering.

And Jesus having passed over again in the ship on the other side, a great crowd was gathered together to him: and he was by the sea.

And, behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue comes, Jairus by name; and having seen him, he fell at his feet,

And he besought him much, saying, That my little daughter is at the last extremity: that, having come, thou Mightest put the hands upon her, so that she might be saved; and she shall live.

And he went away with him; and a great crowd followed him, and they pressed him.

And Jesus, having quickly known in himself the power having gone out of him, having turned round in the crowd, he said, Who has touched my garments?

And his disciples said to him, Seest thou the crowd pressing thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?

And the woman, afraid and trembling, having known what bad been upon her, came and fell down before him, and spake all the truth to him.

And he permitted not any to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And they laughed at him. And he, having cast them all out, takes the father and mother of the young child, and those with him, and goes where the young child was lying.

And he came out thence, and came to his native land; and his disciples follow him.

And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Jude, and Simon and are not his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in him.

And king Herod heard his name; (for it was manifest:) and said, That John the Immerser was raised from the dead, and for this the powers were energetic in him.

For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her.

And Herodias had a grudge against him, and desired to kill him; and could not:

For Herod feared John, knowing him a just and holy man, and he observed him: and having heard him, did many things, and heard him cheerfully.

And he having departed, beheaded him in prison, and brought his head upon a board, and gave it to the little girl: and the little girl gave it to her mother.

And the sent are gathered to Jesus, and announced to him all things, whatever they did, and whatever they taught.

And the crowds saw them retiring, and many knew him, and they were running there on foot from all cities, and came before them, and came together to him.

And having been already much time, his disciples, having come to him, say, This is a desert place, and already the time much:

And having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Having gone, should we buy loaves of two hundred drachmas, and give them to eat?

And having seen him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and cried out:

For all saw him, and were troubled. And quickly he spake with them, and says to them, Take courage: I am; be not afraid.

And they having come out of the ship, quickly having known him.

And wherever he went, in towns, or cities; or fields, they set the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might even touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were saved.

And the Pharisees are gathered together to him, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

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

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and he reviling father or mother, in death let him die:

And ye permit him to do nothing more for his father or his mother
