And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would allow them to enter into them. And he allowed them.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was healed.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Teacher, the multitude throng you and press you, and you say, Who touched me?

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

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get food: for we are here in a desert place.

But he said unto them, Give you them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; unless we should go and buy food for all this people.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in companies.

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

But I tell you a truth, there be some standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Teacher, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

While he thus spoke, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, many people met him.

And I besought your disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him about that saying.

And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?

For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

And into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they would have a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

Then he goes, and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

No man, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a lampstand, that they who come in may see the light.

Truly you bear witness that you consent to the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.

In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so much that they tread one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And you yourselves be like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose you that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And they could not answer him again about these things.

And he put forth a parable to those who were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief places; saying unto them,

Then said he also to him that bade him, When you give a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.

And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it: I pray you have me excused.

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

I have decided what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it fails, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

And he said unto them, You are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.

For I have five brothers; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that temptations to sin will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Teacher, have mercy on us.

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wherever the body is, there will the vultures be gathered together.

And he spoke this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passed by.

And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And as they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

(And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)

And they that were sent went their way, and found it even as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose you the colt?

And they said, The Lord has need of him.

And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

And when he came near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
