The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

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

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God,

Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God."

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him."

But he went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.

And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great crowd followed from Galilee, and from Judea,

And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."

They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

So he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Jesus had done great things for him, and everyone marveled.

And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes.

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."

Then the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.

Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."

When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."

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

But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

But Jesus said, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me. Do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one?God.

Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."

Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God."

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."

Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up. Get up. He is calling you."

He, casting away his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight, and followed him on the road.

They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it.

Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.

Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

And Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.

Jesus said to them, "Is not this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David?

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone on another, which will not be thrown down."

And Jesus began to say to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.

As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me?he who eats with me."

Jesus said to them, "All of you will fall away, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'

Jesus said to him, "Truly I tell you, that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times."

Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?

They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together.

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"

Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus."

And immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the word, how that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." When he thought about that, he wept.

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.

Pilate, wishing to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them, and handed over Jesus, when he had flogged him, to be crucified.

At the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Jesus gave a loud cry, and gave up the spirit.

Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

He said to them, "Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Look, the place where they put him.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
