For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone to know it, but he couldn't escape notice.

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us."

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

It happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

He said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"

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."

He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had his hand withered.

He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I pray."

He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.

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

His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

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 to repentance."

The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.

Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.

When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

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

The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

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.

Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

In his teaching he said to them, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

He said to them, "To you is given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

They compelled one passing by, coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.

They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know it.

But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

He said to them, "Don't be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him!

and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house.

The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons."

He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

Pray that your flight won't be in the winter.

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

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

When evening had now come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,

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.

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

For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

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

When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.

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

In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them,

But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

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."

"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men -- the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."

They clothed him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him.

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it."

The soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium; and they called together the whole cohort.

but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.

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, don't torment me."

The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

They brought it. He said to them, "Whose is this image and inscription?" They said to him, "Caesar's."

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

Let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.

The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'

then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

When it was evening he came with the twelve.

The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much."

He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth."

He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

Unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, whom he picked out, he shortened the days.

For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

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

He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."

Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

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

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If a man's brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'

He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

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

They forgot to take bread; and they didn't have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

But many who are first will be last; and the last first."

They reasoned with one another, saying, "It's because we have no bread."

Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

When evening came, he went out of the city.

He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

He said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

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

from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

They began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn't allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

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.

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

He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"

He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him.

They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

All the city was gathered together at the door.

When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

He said to them, "Let's go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason."

In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

He said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

The superscription of his accusation was written over him, "THE KING OF THE JEWS."

But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions."

At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the Son of God!"

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'

He sternly warned them that they should not make him known.

For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on him that they might touch him.

He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.

He answered him, "Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me."

But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets."

Having eyes, don't you see? Having ears, don't you hear? Don't you remember?

Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding.

and said to him, "See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"

He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"

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

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."

If we should say, 'From men'" -- they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

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

For in those days there will be oppression, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?

But Peter said to him, "Although all will be offended, yet I will not."

When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

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.

Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't,

and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

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

"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."

All the demons begged him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, that we may enter into them."

When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

He answered, "What did Moses command you?"

The farmer sows the word.

They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

"Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;

Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

and they found him, and told him, "Everyone is looking for you."

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country. The people came to see what it was that had happened.

No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.

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

The Scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was numbered with transgressors."

In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife."

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees walking."

No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead."

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, "Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."

But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

But you watch. "Behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

The Pharisees said to him, "Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
