The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ;

And it came to pass that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the glad tidings of God,

And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men.

saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Thou hast come to destroy us; we know who thou art, the Holy One of God.

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

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith, I will; be thou cleansed.

But he went away, and began to publish it constantly, and to spread the matter abroad, so that Jesus could no more enter a city openly, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

And Jesus seeing their faith, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.

And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus in your hearts?

And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following him.

And Jesus hearing it, saith to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. I came not to call righteous men, but sinners.

And Jesus said to them, Can the companions of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake; and a great multitude from Galilee, and from Judaea followed;

And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and bowed down before him,

and cried out with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, do not torment me.

And they come to Jesus, and see him who had been possessed by demons, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind,him who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the ether side, a great multitude gathered about him; and he was by the lake.

having heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.

And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, turned round in the crowed, and said, Who touched my garments?

And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.

And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.

And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and told him all which they had done and taught.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter answering saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And suddenly looking round, they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with themselves.

Jesus said to him, If thou art able? All things are possible for him that believeth.

And Jesus seeing that the multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up.

But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.

And Jesus said to them, On account of your hardness of heart he wrote you this command.

But Jesus seeing it was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the children to come to me; forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.

And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

And Jesus, looking round, saith to his disciples, How hardly shall they who have riches enter the kingdom t of God!

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answering again saith to them, Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.

Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, There is no one who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings,

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:

But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

And Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.

And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me!

And Jesus stopped, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage, rise, he calleth thee.

And throwing off his garment, he leaped up, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus answering said to him, What dost thou wish me to do for thee? The blind man said to him, My master, to restore my sight.

And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee. And he immediately received his sight, and followed him on the road.

And they said to them as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.

And they bring the colt to Jesus, and put their garments on it; and he sat upon it.

And Jesus answering saith to them, Have faith in God.

And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

And Jesus said to them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods. And they marveled at him exceedingly.

Jesus said to them, Do ye not err on this account, that ye know not the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

Jesus answered, The first is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

And Jesus, perceiving that he answered wisely, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And after this no one dared to question him.

And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son?

And Jesus said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? There will not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.

And Jesus began to say to them, See that no one deceive you.

But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? A good deed hath she done for me.

And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me,one that is eating with me.

And Jesus saith to them, Ye will all fall away from me; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered."

And Jesus saith to him, Truly do I say to thee, that even thou, today, on this night, before a cock crow twice, wilt thrice deny me.

And Jesus answering said to them, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me.

And they led Jesus away to the highpriest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.

And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.

And the highpriest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee?

And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.

And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests, having held a consultation with the elders and the scribes, and the whole council, bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

But Jesus made no further answer; so that Pilate marveled.

And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the multitude, released to them Barabbas; and, when he had scourged Jesus, delivered him up to be crucified.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? which is, when interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, expired.

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable councilor, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, came, and boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

But he saith to them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified; he hath risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him.
