and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

For Herod had seized John, and bound him, and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife.

For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

And wishing to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

And the king was sorry; but on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he ordered it to be given,

When Jesus heard of it, he withdrew thence in a boat into a desert place apart; and the multitudes hearing of it followed him on foot from the cities.

And when it was evening, the disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and it is now late; send the multitudes away therefore, that they may go to the villages and buy themselves victuals.

And they say to him, We have here only five loaves, and two fishes.

and he constrained the disciples to get into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And seeing him walking on the lake, they were dismayed, saying, It is a spectre; and they cried out for fear.

And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him, Thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

And they that were in the boat fell down before him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

And the men of that place, when they saw who he was, sent out into all that country round, and brought to him all the diseased,

and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched were made well.

For God commanded, saying, "Honor thy father and thy mother;" and, "He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die."

Then come the disciples, and say to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard that saying?

And Peter answering said to him, Explain to us that dark saying.

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying Send her away, for she is crying out after us.

Then she came and fell down before him, saying, Lord, help me!

And great multitudes came to him, having with them those who were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at his feet, and he healed them;

And Jesus having called his disciples to him, said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road.

And the disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to try him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

Then Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord! This shall not be to thee.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart.

And lo! there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

While he was yet speaking, lo! a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; hear him."

And the disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

But I say to you, that Elijah hath already come, and they knew him not, but did with him whatever they would. So also is the Son of man to suffer by them.

And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Then Jesus answering said, Unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him; and the boy was cured from that hour.

and they will put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again. And they were greatly grieved.

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes? Of their own sons, or of strangers?

And when he said, Of strangers, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

And he called a child to him, and set him in the midst of them,

But whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to fall away, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be swallowed up in the depth of the sea.

Moreover, if thy brother sin, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he listen to thee, thou hast gained thy brother;

And if he disregard them, tell the matter to the church; but if he disregard the church also, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.

Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?

Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

And when he had begun to reckon, there was brought to him one, who owed him ten thousand talents.

But as he was unable to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Then that servant fell down and did obeisance to him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, who owed him a hundred denaries; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

His fellowservant then fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

And he would not; but went away and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

Then his lord, having called him, saith to him, Thou wicked servant! All that debt I forgave thee because thou didst beseech me;

And his lord was enraged, and delivered him to the inflicters of punishment, till he should pay all that was due to him.

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

And the Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

They say to him, Why then did Moses ordain that a man may give his wife a writing of divorcement, and put her away?

The disciples say to him, If such be the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.

For there are eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb; and there are eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then there were brought to him children, that be might lay his hands on them, and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And lo! one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have everlasting life?

And he said to him, Why dost thou ask me concerning what is good? There is but one who is good. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept; in what am I still wanting?

Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

Then Peter answering said to him, Lo! we left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?

They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn him to death,

and will deliver him up to the gentiles to mock, and scourge, and crucify; and on the third day he will rise again.

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, falling down before him, and asking a certain thing of him.

And he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith to him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup which I am to drink? They say to him, We can.

But Jesus called them to him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.

And as they were going out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

They say to him, Lord, to open our eyes.

Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and they immediately received sight, and followed him.

And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!

And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.

and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, "From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare praise"?

And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?

The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?

For John came to you as a preacher of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, did not afterward repent, that ye might believe him.

But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.

And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

They say to him, He will bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.

And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.

and he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a wedding garment? And he was struck dumb.

Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how l they might ensnare him in speech.

And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and thou carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men.

Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denary.

And hearing this, they wondered, and left him, and went away.

The same day there came to him Sadducees, saying that there is no resurrection; and they asked him,

and one of them, a lawyer, asked, trying him,

And he said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, Davids.

He saith to them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord? saying,

If David then calleth him lord, how is he his son?

And no one was able to answer him a word; nor durst any one from that day question him any more.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him twofold mole a son of hell than yourselves.

and he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth in it;
