and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, 'Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him while we were sleeping.

So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

(for they were fishers) and Jesus said to them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

As soon as they were come to Capernaum, he entred into the synagogue, and it being the sabbath, instructed them.

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

and saying to him, "Make sure you do not say anything to anyone. But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your healing with whatever Moses ordered [Lev. 14:1-9], as evidence to people [that you were completely healed]."

And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

And [when] they were not able to bring [him] to him because of the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. And [after] digging through, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic was lying.

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, "Why are you considering these [things] in your hearts?

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.

And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes and Pharisees, seeing Him eating with the publicans and sinners, were saying to His disciples, Why does He eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

And, the Pharisees, were saying, - See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?

And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?

and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

They were silent. Then looking around upon them with anger, and deeply grieved by the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" He stretched it out, and the hand was at once completely restored.

and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

For he had healed many, so that all those who {were suffering from diseases} pressed about him in order that they could touch him.

and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- 'Thou art the Son of God;'

with power to drive out the demons. These were the twelve he appointed:

He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

And he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they were not even able to eat a meal.

And [when] {his family} heard [this], they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, "He has lost his mind!"

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul!" and "By the ruler of the demons he expels the demons!"

because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."

And his mother and brothers came and were outside, and sent for him, requesting to see him.

And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they didn't have any roots, they dried up.

And others fell into the good ground, and were yielding fruit, springing up and growing; and bore, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

tho' they see, they will not perceive, and tho' they hear they will not understand: as if they were afraid of parting with their vices, in order to be pardoned.

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 they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,

They were filled with great fear, and said to each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Then Jesus and His disciples [finally] arrived on the other side of the lake [i.e., the east side] in the district of Geresa [Note: Matt. 8:28 says 'Gadara.' Geresa and Gadara were two towns

because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

By the time Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the opposite shore, a great number of people had gathered to meet him, and were standing by the Sea.

and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

and having suffered much from many physicians, and expended all things which were with her, and being profited as to nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

and his disciples were saying to him - Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, - and sayest thou - Who hath touched me?

But Jesus, overhearing what they were saying, said to the President of the Synagogue: "Do not be afraid; only have faith."

When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw mass confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

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

And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and

they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

They were to wear sandals, but not put on an extra shirt.

And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

And King Herod heard [it], because his name had become known. And they were saying, "John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him."

But others were saying, "He is Elijah," and others were saying, "[He is] a prophet like one of the prophets."

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

He swore to her, "I will give you whatever you want, were it the half of my realm."

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:

Then he gave orders that they were to make all the people lie down in parties on the green grass;

And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

And they did all eat, and were filled.

and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full.

And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
