So the people began to beg with Jesus to leave their region.

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging him to let him go with him.

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet

And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

But Jesus looked about to see who had done it.

But the woman became afraid and trembled with fear, for she knew what had happened to her [i.e., the healing], so she came and fell down in front of Jesus and told Him the whole truth.

While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue official's house and said [to the official], "Your daughter is dead; why are you bothering the Teacher any more?"

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Jesus allowed no one to go further with him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.

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

Taking her hand, Jesus said to her: "Taleitha, koum!"--which means 'little girl, I am speaking to you--Rise!'

But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

Jesus left there and came to His hometown [Nazareth]; and His disciples followed Him.

But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

And he wondered at the want of faith shown by the people. Jesus went round the villages, one after another, teaching.

Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two. He gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

King Herod [Antipas] heard about this, for Jesus’ name and reputation had become well known. People were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”

But when King Herod heard [about Jesus], he said, "John, whom I [had] decapitated, has risen."

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

then Jesus said to them, come, let us retire privately to some place of solitude, to repose your selves a while. for such a crowd of people were continually coming and going, that they had not even time to eat.

So, they [i.e., Jesus and His apostles] left by boat and went to a separate place [where they could be] alone.

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.

But Jesus answered: "It is for you to give them something to eat." "Are we to go and buy twenty pounds' worth of bread," they asked, "to give them to eat?"

Jesus directed them to make all the people take their seats on the green grass, in parties;

Taking the five loaves and the two fishes, Jesus looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing; he broke the loaves into pieces, and gave them to his disciples for them to serve out to the people, and he divided the two fishes also among them all.

Jesus immediately had his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him, while he sent the crowd away.

When evening fell, the boat was out in the middle of the Sea, and Jesus on the shore alone.

When He saw how distressed His disciples were, rowing against an opposing wind, Jesus came to them between three and six o'clock in the morning, walking on the water, and almost walked past them.

For all of them saw him, and were terrified. But Jesus at once spoke to them. "Courage!" he said, "it is I; do not be afraid!"

but they did not understand [the miracle] of the loaves because their minds were insensitive [i.e., to the nature and power of Jesus].

As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus.

Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem and gathered around Him,

And they saw that some of Jesus' disciples ate their bread with unclean hands, that is, unwashed.

So the Pharisees and scribes asked Jesus, “Why do Your disciples not live their lives according to the tradition of the elders, but [instead] eat their bread with [ceremonially] unwashed hands?”

Jesus answered, to such hypocrites as you may well be applied those words of the prophet Esaias, "this people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me, all of you," He said, "and understand.

Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

"What, do even you understand so little?" exclaimed Jesus. "Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can 'defile' him,

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.

Jesus got up and left there and went to the region of Tyre [and Sidon, the coastal area of Phoenicia]. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know about it; but it was impossible for Him to be hidden [from the public].

But just then a woman whose little daughter was dominated by an evil spirit heard about Jesus and came and fell down at His feet.

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

then said Jesus to her, for this expression, go thy way, the demon has left your daughter.

Soon after this Jesus left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Decapolis [the ten Hellenistic cities].

They brought to Him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

So Jesus taking him aside, apart from the crowd, put His fingers into his ears, and spat, and moistened his tongue;

Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

Jesus calling his disciples saith to them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

Jesus told the crowd to sit down upon the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd.

The number [who ate] was about four thousand men [besides women and children. See Matt. 15:38]. Then Jesus sent them away.

Immediately afterwards, getting into the boat with his disciples, Jesus went to the district of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees arrived and began arguing with Jesus. They tested him by demanding from him a sign from heaven.

Sighing deeply, Jesus said: "Why does this generation ask for a sign? I tell you, no sign shall be given it."

Now Jesus' disciples had forgotten to take [any] food [with them], and had only one loaf of bread in the boat.

Jesus repeatedly ordered them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,

And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.

Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spit into his eyes, placed his hands on him, and asked him, "Do you see anything?"

Again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and he saw distinctly. He was cured and could see everything clearly.

Then Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village or tell anyone in the village."

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

Peter answered him, "You are the Messiah!" Jesus sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

Then Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And He spoke about this freely. But Peter took Jesus aside and began rebuking Him [i.e., for saying such things].

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!"

Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].

And Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste (experience) death before they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

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

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

"How is it," they asked Jesus, "that our Teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?"

Jesus answered them, "Elijah truly will come first and restore all things [i.e., to their proper perspective concerning the Messiah]. And it is [also] written [in the Scriptures] about the Son of man, that He would suffer very much and be rejected.

Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Jesus, they were startled and began running up to greet Him.

"What are you arguing about with them?" Jesus asked.

"O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me."

So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he answered, “Since childhood.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"

Jesus answered, such a miracle is not effected but by prayer and fasting.

Then they left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus didn't want anyone to find out about it,

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said: "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all."

Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Folding it in his arms, he said to them:

John told Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn't a follower like us."

But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

Getting up, He left there (Capernaum) and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; and crowds gathered around Him again and accompanied Him, and as was His custom, He once more began to teach them.

Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

"What direction did Moses give you?" replied Jesus.
