And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.

And straightaway they left the nets, and followed him.

And straightaway he called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen, they went behind him.

And they entered into Capernaum, and straightaway on the Sabbath day, having entered into the synagogue, he taught.

And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.

And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?

And straightaway, when they came forth out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.

And having become evening when the sun set they brought to him all who were faring badly, and those who were demon-possessed.

And he healed many who were faring badly with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he did not allow the demons to speak, because they had recognized him.

And having found him, they say to him, All are seeking thee.

But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.

And they come bringing to him a paralyzed man, being taken by four men.

And not being able to come near to him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralyzed man lay.

And straightaway Jesus, having perceived in his spirit that they so deliberated within themselves, said to them, Why do ye deliberate these things in your hearts?

And it came to pass, while he was dining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scholars of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?

And John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but the disciples with you do not fast?

And Jesus said to them, The sons of the wedding hall cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them. As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will they fast in those day.

And the Pharisees said to him, Look, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath day?

And they watched him whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, so that they might accuse him.

And he says to them, Is it permitted to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

And the Pharisees having gone out, they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

And he spoke to his disciples that a small boat would stay by him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him.

And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying, Thou are the Son of God.

And he chided them much that they should not make him known.

And he goes up onto the mountain, and calls in those whom he himself wanted, and they went to him.

And he appointed twelve men, so that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And they come to a house.

And when those with him heard it, they went out to grasp him, for they said, He is beside himself.

Truly I say to you, that all the sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies, as many as they may blaspheme.

because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

Then his brothers and mother come, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

And a multitude was sitting around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brothers, and thy sisters, outside seek for thee.

So that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should turn, and the sins would be forgiven them.

And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.

And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.

And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway they are caused to stumble.

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

And having sent the multitude away, they bring him along as he was in the boat. And other small boats were also with him.

And he himself was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, does it not concern thee that we perish?

And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?

And they came to the other side of the sea into the country of the Gadarenes.

And those who fed the swine fled, and reported in the city and in the fields. And they came to see what it was that happened.

And they come to Jesus, and see the man who was demon-possessed, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind (the man who had the legion), and they were afraid.

And they began to beg him to depart from their borders.

And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

While he still spoke, they come from the synagogue ruler saying, Thy daughter died, why still trouble the teacher?

And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, takes the father of the child and the mother and those with him, and enters in where the child was laying.

And straightaway the little girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed with a great amazement.

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

And he commanded them that they should take up nothing for the way, except only a staff--no scrip, no bread, no copper in the belt--

And having departed, they preached that men should repent.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed many feeble men with olive oil, and healed them.

And when his disciples heard, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a sepulcher.

And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and reported all to him, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves in private into a desolate place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And they departed in the boat to a desolate place in private.

And they saw them going. And many recognized him, and ran together on foot there from all the cities. And they went before them, and came together to him.

And Jesus having come out, he saw a great multitude. And he felt compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And now many an hour having come to pass, his disciples having come to him, they say, The place is desolate, and it is now many an hour.

Send them away, so that after going into the fields and villages around, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.

But having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, After departing, shall we buy loaves of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?

And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves in pieces, and he gave to the disciples so that they might set before them. And he distributed the two fishes to them

And they all ate, and were filled.

And they took up fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.

But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed it to be a ghost, and cried out.

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And straightaway he spoke with them, and says to them, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.

And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, extraordinarily so. And they wondered,

for they did not understand about the loaves, for their heart was hardened.

And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

And when they came out of the boat, straightaway, having recognized him,

after running around that whole region around, they began to carry about on beds those who were faring badly, where they heard he was there.

And wherever he entered, into villages or cities or fields, they laid those who were feeble in the marketplaces, and besought him that if they might but touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were being healed.

And having seen some of his disciples eating their loaves with profane hands, that is, unwashed, they accused them.

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands carefully, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.

And coming from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they bathe. And there are many other things that they have taken in to retain: washings of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and beds.)

But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

And they bring a deaf, tongue-tied man to him, and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

And he commanded them that they should tell no man, but as much as he commanded them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it.

And they were exceedingly astonished, saying, He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.

In those days, the multitude being very great, and not having what they might eat, Jesus having summoned his disciples, he says to them,

I feel compassion toward the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and do not have what they might eat.

And if I send them away without food to their house, they will faint on the way, for some of them come from afar.

And he questioned them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And after taking the seven loaves, having given thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to his disciples so that they might place before them. And they place before the crowd.

And they had a few small fishes. And having blessed them, he said to also place before them.

And they ate and were filled. And they took up seven hampers of surplus fragments.

And they forgot to take loaves, and they did not have with them in the boat except one loaf.

And they deliberated among each other, saying, We have no loaves.

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? They say to him, Twelve.

And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did ye take up? And they said, Seven.

And he comes to Bethsaida, and they bring a blind man to him, and call for him so that he might touch him.

And they answered, saying, John the immerser, and others, Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.

And he chided them that they should tell no man about him.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, there are some of those who have stood here, who will, no, not taste of death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.
