And John was clothed with camels hair, and with a leathern girdle about his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

And it came to pass that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And there was a voice from the heavens, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the glad tidings of God,

And as he was passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon dragging a net in the lake; for they were fishers.

And they enter Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he was teaching in the synagogue.

And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

and the whole city was assembled at the door.

And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

But he went away, and began to publish it constantly, and to spread the matter abroad, so that Jesus could no more enter a city openly, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

And after some days he again entered Capernaum; and it was reported that he was in the house.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking the word to them.

And they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.

And not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.

And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following him.

And when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And it came to pass, that he was going through the grainfields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, to pluck the ears of grain.

And he saith to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him?

And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

And he entered again into a synagogue; and there was a man there having a withered hand;

And looking round on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond the Jordan, and the people about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what great things he was doing, came to him.

And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brothers and thy sisters are without, seeking for thee.

And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake on the land.

But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.

And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.

For there is nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should come to light.

And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.

And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats with him.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

and continually, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself, with stones.

For he was saying to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.

Now there was there, by the mountain, a great herd of swine feeding.

And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.

And when he was going on board the boat, he that had been possessed by the demons besought him that be might be with him.

And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the ether side, a great multitude gathered about him; and he was by the lake.

and had undergone much at the hands of many physicians, and spent all that she had, and was not at all benefited, but rather grew worse,

And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she perceived in her body that she was cured of her plague.

While he was yet speaking, there came from the house I of the ruler of the synagogue some who said, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the Teacher any further?

And they laughed him to scorn. But putting them all out, he taketh the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and entereth where the child was.

And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And most people when they heard him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him? And how is it that such miracles are wrought by his hands?

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.

And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to him gladly.

And the king was exceedingly sorry; but on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he would not refuse her.

And when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

And when evening came, the boat was in the midst of the lake; and he was alone on the land.

And when he saw them toiling hard in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the lake. And he would have passed by them;

but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.

For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.

And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,

ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those that were sick to the place where they heard he was.

(for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast the tradition of the elders;

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.

And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

And his ears were opened; and the string of his tongue was immediately loosed, and he spoke plain.

Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.

And immediately the whole multitude on seeing him was struck with awe, and running to him, saluted him.

But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.

And departing thence, he cometh into the borders of Judaea, and to the other side of the Jordan; and multitudes again come together to him; and, as he was wont, he again taught them.

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife, trying him.

But Jesus seeing it was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the children to come to me; forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

And as he was going out into the way, a certain one running up and kneeling to him, asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading the way; and they were amazed, and they that followed were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:

And they come to Jericho; and as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the wayside.

And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me!

And on the morrow, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry;

And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him; because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders;

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.

And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son?

And he sat over against the treasury, and was beholding how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich were casting in much.

And as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.

And when he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster bottle of ointment of pure spikenard, very precious; and breaking the bottle, she poured it on his head.

And when it was evening, he cometh with the twelve.

And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.

And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and elders.

I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [thus it is], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.

And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the highpriest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.

But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the highpriest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maidservants of the highpriest;

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.

And as soon as it was morning, the chief priests, having held a consultation with the elders and the scribes, and the whole council, bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

Now at the feast he was wont to release to them one prisoner, whom they might ask.

And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with insurgents who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And they compel one Simon a Cyrenaean, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.

And it was the third hour when they crucified him.

And on the cross the inscription of the charge against him was written: "The king of the Jews."

And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that he so expired, said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

There were also women looking on from a distance; among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and rendered him their services; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
