And the thieves who were on the crosses said evil words to him.

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, they were terribly frightened and filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

The next day--that is, the day following the Preparation-Day- -the Chief Priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said:

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

And as they went, suddenly, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” And they went to Him and took hold of His feet [in homage] and worshiped Him [as the Messiah].

Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

and said, “You say this, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were sleeping.’

"If this should reach the Governor's ears," they said, "we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."

Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

then said a voice from heaven, 'Thou art my Son, the Beloved, in thee is my delight.'

"The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.

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

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.

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

And they were all so amazed that they discussed it with one another, and said, "What does this mean? It is a new teaching! He gives orders with authority even to the foul spirits, and they obey him!"

And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."

Moved with compassion [for his suffering], Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

And then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away, and said to him:

saying to him, “See that you tell no one anything [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your purification what Moses commanded, as proof to them [that you are really healed].”

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

but there were certain of the Scribes sitting there, who were dissatisfied in their own minds, and said to themselves,

"Why does this man use such words?" they said; "he is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has the authority and power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man,

The man rose, and immediately under the eyes of all took up his mat and went out, so that they were all filled with astonishment, gave the glory to God, and said, "We never saw anything like this."

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

When Jesus heard this, He said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, but [only] those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners [who recognize their sin and humbly seek forgiveness].”

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, "{Why} do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

He said to the man whose hand was withered, “Get up and come forward!”

He asked them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

After looking around at them with anger, grieved at the hardness and arrogance of their hearts, He told the man, “Hold out your hand.” And he held it out, and his hand was [completely] restored.

And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And he answered them [and] said, "Who is my mother or my brothers?"

And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.

On that [same] day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee].”

when they had dismiss'd the people, the bark he was in, set sail, in company with other small barks.

But Jesus was in the stern, asleep [with His head] on the [sailor’s leather] cushion. And they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are about to die?”

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

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

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

And he was asking him "{What is your name}?" And he said to him, "My name [is] Legion, because we are many."

So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so that we may enter into them."

As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

Jesus did not let him [come], but [instead] He said to him, “Go home to your family and tell them all the great things that the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy on you.”

and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live."

when she heard of Jesus, came behind Him in the croud, and touched his garment; for she said,

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

Overhearing what was being said, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; only keep on believing [in Me and my power].”

When He had gone in, He said to them, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is sleeping.”

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom given to Him, and how are these miracles performed by His hands?

But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

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;

but to go'shod with sandals: and,'said he , put not on two coats.

And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John, he did much of what he said. In fact, he liked listening to him.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

nay, he ratified his promise with an oath, "I will give you whatever you require, said he, tho' it be even the half of my kingdom."

And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
