After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

so he sent him home, with a charge not to go into the town, nor mention it to any body belonging to that place.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns that belong to the city called Caesarea Philippi, and by the way he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I am?"

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

And he said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter answered and said unto him, "Thou art very Christ."

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

And he began to teach them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the elders and of the high priests and scribes, and should be killed, and after three days arise again.

And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him aside, and began to chide him.

But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

Then addressing himself to the people, and his disciples, he said, he that desires to be under my conduct, let him renounce himself, and follow me.

for he that would save his life, shall lose it; and he that would lose his life out of love to me and the gospel, he shall save it.

For what could a man give that is of equal value with his life?

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."

his raiment was of an exceeding bright whiteness, like that of snow, and such as no fuller upon earth could imitate.

And Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good [that] we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

And suddenly, on looking round, they saw that there was now no one with them but Jesus alone.

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?"

And he said to them, "Elijah indeed does come first [and] restores all [things]. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man that he should suffer many [things] and be treated with contempt?

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 one [individual] from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son who has {a spirit that makes him mute}.

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."

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.

And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able [to do] anything, have compassion on us [and] help us!"

And Jesus said unto him, "Yea if thou couldest believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, 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."

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had been dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead."

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast 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 he came to Capernaum, and when he was come to house, he asked them, "What was it that ye disputed between you by the way?"

then sitting down, he address'd himself to the twelve, saying, he that would be the first, must be the last of all, and the servant of all.

Whosoever, unto, one ofthese children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.

And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not."

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

For he that is not against us is on our part.

For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in [my] name because you are Christ's, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, that believe in me: it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.

Wherefore, if thy hand offend thee, cut him off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than to go, having two hands, into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched,

In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

Likewise, if thy foot offend thee, cut him off. For it is better for thee to go halt into life, than, having two feet, to be cast into hell: into fire that never shall be quenched,

In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

If your eye cause you to stumble, tear it out! It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God one-eyed that to keep both your eyes and be cast into hell,

In that place, worms never die, and the fire is never put out.

such a one shall be consumed by fire, but the offering that is salted shall be preserv'd from corruption.

Salt is good. But if the salt be unsavoury: what shall ye salt therewith? See that ye have salt in yourselves. And have peace among yourselves, one with another."

And he rose from thence, and went into the coasts of Jewry, through the region that is beyond Jordan. And the people resorted unto him afresh: And as he was wont he taught them again.

And the Pharisees came to him, and that they might tempt him, asked him the question: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;

That's why "a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

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

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of that matter.

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

When Jesus saw that, he was displeased, and said to them, "Suffer the children to come unto me and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."

And when he was come out into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, that is God.

Jesus beheld him, and had a favour to him, and said unto him, "One thing is lacking unto thee. Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me, and take up thy cross on thee."

But he was discomforted with that saying, and went away mourning, for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, "What a hard thing it is for them that have riches enter into the kingdom of God."

And his disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and said unto them, "Children: how hard is it for them, that trust in their riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?

Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].”

Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's,

that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.

Many that are first, shall be last. And the last, first."

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

And then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him, saying, "Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we desire."

And he said to them, "What do you want that I do for you?"

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."

But Jesus said unto them, "Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I shall drink of? And be baptised in the baptism that I shall be baptised in?"

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:

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

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.

That's not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry and to say, "Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me."

And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried the more a great deal, "Thou son of David have mercy on me."

And Jesus standing, said, that he should be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage: rise up, He calls you.

And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "What wilt thou that I do unto thee?" The blind said unto him, "Master, that I might see."

When they were getting near Jerusalem, that is, were at Bethphage and Bethany in front of the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples on ahead,

and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither.

And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither."

but some of the bystanders said to them, "What do you mean by untethering that colt?"

But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

And they that went before and they that followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna: blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the name of him that is Lord of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."

And [when he] saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went [to see] if perhaps he would find anything on it. And [when he] came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

And they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the temple: and began to cast out the sellers and buyers in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the stools of them that sold doves:

and would not suffer that any man carried a vessel through the temple.

And he taught, saying unto them, "Is it not written, how that my house shall be called 'The house of prayer unto all nations?' But ye have made it a den of thieves."

In the morning as they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered, clear down to its roots.

And Peter remembered [and] said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!"

I tell you truly, whoever says to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' and has not a doubt in his mind but believes that what he says will happen, he will have it done.
