But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.

Then Jesus beholding their faith, saith to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, he saith to the paralytic,

And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder:

and Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away.

Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts:

and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it;

And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of the word;

And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

and sleep and rise, night and day, and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not how:

and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea.

And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine.

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

Then the Pharisees came out, and began to question him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

And fetching a deep sigh from his very soul, he saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.

And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten.

For, lo! said he, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles:

And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus, the blind, the son of Timeus, sat by the road-side begging:

and hearing that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, and say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!

And many chid him, that he should be silent: but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!

Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son.

And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David?

David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what is the sign when all these things shall come to pass?

And brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

but in those days, after that distressing season, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not emit her light;
