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."

And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in a tomb.

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

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

And they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.

But the people spied them when they departed: and many knew him, and they ran afoot thither out of all cities, and came thither before them; And came together unto him.

And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And now many an hour having come to pass, his disciples having come to him, they say, The place is desolate, and it is now many an hour.

let them depart, that they may go into the country round about, and into the towns, and buy them bread: for they have nothing to eat."

He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said unto him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"

He said unto them, "How many loaves have ye? Go and look." And when they had searched, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

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

And they sat down: here a row, and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties.

And taking the five loaves and the two fish [and] looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before them. And he distributed the two fish to [them] all.

And they all did eat, and were satisfied.

And they took up twelve baskets full of the gobbets and of the fishes.

And they that ate were about five thousand men.

and when they had taken their leave, he retired to a mountain to pray.

And because He saw that they were struggling at the oars, for the wind was against them, a while before daybreak He started toward them walking on the sea, and He meant to go right up beside them.

When they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

For they all saw him, and were afraid. And anon he talked with them, and said unto them, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."

And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

For they remembered not of the loaves, because their hearts were blinded.

And they came over, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and drew up into the haven.

And as soon as they were come out of the ship, straight they knew him,

and ran forth throughout all the region round about, and began to carry about in beds all that were sick, to place where they heard tell that he was there.

And whithersoever he entered into the towns, or cities, or villages, they laid their sick in the streets, and prayed him, that they might touch and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

And when they saw certain of his disciples eat bread with common hands, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they complained.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not; observing the traditions of the elders.

And when they come from the market, except they wash themselves they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have taken upon them to observe, as the washing of cups and cruses, and of brazen vessels, and of tables.

So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with 'common' unwashed hands?"

And He answered them, "Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites very well when he wrote [Isa. 29:13], 'These people honor me with their lips [i.e., by what they say], but their heart is far from [honoring] me.

In vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but the commandments of men,

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, abusiveness, arrogance, folly??23 all these evils come from inside, and they pollute a man."

all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

But He was saying to her, "Let the children first eat all they want, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it out to the house dogs."

And they brought unto him one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech, and prayed him to lay his hand upon him.

And he commanded them that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

And they were amazed beyond all measure, saying, "He has done all [things] well! He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak!"

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

"I have compassion on this people, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

And if I should send them away fasting to their own houses, they should faint by the way. For divers of them came from far."

And he asked them, "How many loaves have ye?" They said, "Seven."

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, gave thanks, brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them. And they did set them before the people.

And they had a few small fishes. And he blessed them and commanded them also to be set before them.

And they ate and were sufficed, and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

And they that ate were in number about four thousand. And he sent them away.

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

but Jesus fetching a deep sigh, said, why does this generation require a sign? I assure you, they shall have none.

And they had forgotten to take bread with them, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

And they reasoned among themselves saying, "We have no bread."

He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

When I brake five loaves among five thousand men: How many baskets full of broken meat took ye up?" They said unto him, "Twelve."

"When I brake seven among four thousand how many baskets of the leavings of broken meat took ye up?" They said, "Seven."

And they said, Seven. And he said to them, How is it, that ye do not understand?

And he came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blind man unto him and desired him, to touch him.

And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees."

From thence Jesus went attended with his disciples to the villages of Cesarea Philippi. and ask'd them by the way, who do they say I am?

And they answered, "Some say that thou art John Baptist: some, say Elijah, and some, one of the prophets."

And he charged them that they should tell no man of it.

And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they talked with Jesus.

And wist not what he said, for they were afraid.

And suddenly, they looked round about them and saw no man, more than Jesus only with them.

And as they came down from the hill, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till the son of man were risen from death again.

And they kept that saying within them, and demanded one of another, what that rising from death again should mean?

And they asked him, saying, "Why then Say the scribes, that Elijah must first come?"

Moreover, I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have done unto him whatsoever pleased them, as it is written of him."

And [when they] came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were amazed, and ran to him, and saluted him.

And whensoever he taketh him, he teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not."

And they brought him unto him. And as soon as the spirit saw him, he tare him. And he fell down on the ground, wallowing and foaming.

When he had gone home, and his disciples were alone with him, they asked him, "Why could not we drive it out?"

And they departed thence, and took their journey through Galilee, and would not that any man should have known it.

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, "The son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and after that he is killed he shall arise again the third day."

But they wist not what that saying meant, and were afraid to ask him.

And they came to Capernaum. And [after he] was in the house, he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

And they held their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselves, who should be the chiefest.

And they asked him if it was permitted for a man to divorce [his] wife, [in order to] test him.

And they said, "Moses suffered to write a testimonial of her divorcement, and to put her away."

"wherefore, 'tis said, a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."

and they twain shall be made one flesh.' So then are they now not twain, but one flesh.

When they were in the house, the disciples asked him again concerning this matter, and he said to them,

And they brought children to him that he should touch them. And his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

When Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not try to stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as they.

miles northeast of Jerusalem]. As He left there with His disciples and a large crowd, they met a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sitting along side the road.

And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were astonished out of measure, saying between themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

but they that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus went before them. And they were amazed. And as they followed, were afraid. And Jesus took the twelve again, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him.

"Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered unto the high priests and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles,

and they shall mock him, and scourge him and spit upon him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again."

They said to him, "Grant unto us that we may sit one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory."

And they said unto him, "That we can." Jesus said unto them, "Ye shall drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised in:

but seats at my right and at my left are not mine to give, but they will be given to those for whom they have been prepared."

And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John.

But Jesus called them unto him, and said to them, "Ye know well that they which seem to bear rule among the gentiles, reign as Lords over them. And they that be great among them exercise authority over them.

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out ofJericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, which was blind, sat by the highways side begging.
