And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,

And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.

And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,

and saith to him, 'See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'

And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'

but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast -- in those days.

and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.'

And he saith to them, 'Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent.

And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

And he put on Simon the name Peter;

and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, 'Sons of thunder;'

and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.

but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;'

And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

and he said to them, 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.

And he said to them, 'Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch -- not that it may be put on the lamp-stand?

for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,

and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,

and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, 'Go away to thy house, unto thine own friends, and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;

And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

and having gone in he saith to them, 'Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'

and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it,

and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

Afterwards again he put his hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

And they answered, 'John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'

and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, 'Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any more, but Jesus only with themselves.

But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'

and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'

but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;

and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'

and having taken them in his arms, having put his hands upon them, he was blessing them.

And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

And he began to speak to them in similes: 'A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-wine-vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;

and they, having taken him, did severely beat him, and did send him away empty.

and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'

And the scribe said to him, 'Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,

and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.

And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;

for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.'

and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end is not yet;

'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,

and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved.

the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'

but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'

and he said, 'Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'
