And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.

And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.

And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.

And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.

And he said to them, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to put to death? But they said nothing.

And the Pharisees went out, and straight away made designs with the Herodians about how they might put him to death.

And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God.

And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.

Truly, I say to you, The sons of men will have forgiveness for all their sins and for all the evil words they say:

Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.

So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.

And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,

And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

And with a number of such stories he gave them his teaching, as they were able to take it:

And going away from the people, they took him with them, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?

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

And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

And they made a request to him to go out of their country.

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.

And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.

And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.

And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

And they all took of the food and had enough.

And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry:

For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;

And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.

And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

And they said to one another, We have no bread.

When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

Because he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.

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

And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.
