And lo! men brought on a bed a man that was palsied; and they endeavored to bring him in, and to set him before him.

And not finding any way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with the couch into the midst before Jesus.

And after these things he went out, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the customhouse; and he said to him, Follow me.

And leaving everything, he arose and followed him.

And Levi made a great feast for him at his house, and there was a great company of publicans and others, who were reclining at table with them.

And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.

And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not even read what David did, when he was himself hungry, and they who were with him?

how he went into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave it also to those who were with him, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone?

And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching whether he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.

And looking round on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored.

And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also named apostles;

And he came down with them, and stood on a level place with a great multitude of his disciples, and a great crowd of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.

And the whole multitude sought to touch him, because power went out of him and healed all.

To him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every one that asketh of thee; and from him that taketh away thy goods, demand them not again.

And a certain centurions servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.

And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.

And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;

And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.

And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.

And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.

And the disciples of John told him all these things.

And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?

And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.

And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisees house, and reclined at the table.

And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.

And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?

Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.

And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,

And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:

And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundredfold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.

Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.

And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.

And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.

And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.

And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

For he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.

And they besought him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.

And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,

Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.

And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.

And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.

But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.

And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.

And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, 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; not knowing what he said.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is my chosen Son; hear him."

And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.

But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.

And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,

and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.

And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.

But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.

And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.

And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodgingplaces; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.

After these things, the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.

And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?

And he said to him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou?

And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; do this, and thou shalt live.

Jesus answering said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who after stripping him of his raiment, and wounding him, departed, leaving him half dead.

And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion,

and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And the next day, he took out two denaries and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, I, when I come back, will repay thee.

Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?

And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me.
