Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him;

but John urgently forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptised of thee; and comest thou to me?

But Jesus answering said to him, Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers him.

And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him:

And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.

Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,

and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,

and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.

and to him that would go to law with thee and take thy body coat, leave him thy cloak also.

And whoever will compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.

To him that asks of thee give, and from him that desires to borrow of thee turn not away.

Be not ye therefore like them, for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye beg anything of him.

For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

Or what man is there of you who, if his son shall ask of him a loaf of bread, will give him a stone;

and if he ask a fish, will give him a serpent?

If therefore ye, being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to them that ask of him?

And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.

And behold, there was a man having his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath? that they might accuse him.

But the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus knowing it, withdrew thence, and great crowds followed him; and he healed them all:

and charged them strictly that they should not make him publicly known:

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.
