And as he was passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon dragging a net in the lake; for they were fishers.

And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets;

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned each other, saying, What is this? New teaching with authority; even the unclean spirits doth he command, and they obey him!

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking the word to them.

Which is easier? to say to the palsied man, Thy sins are forgiven? or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and go?

I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

And he arose, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.

And passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customhouse; and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?

And the Pharisees said to him, See, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?

So that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.

For he had healed many, so that as many as had plagues pressed upon him to touch him.

And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

And again a multitude cometh together, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.

hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?

And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?

And they that fed them fled, and told the news in the city and in the country. And they came to see what had been done.

And they come to Jesus, and see him who had been possessed by demons, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind,him who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude pressing on thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

And he looked round to see her who had done this.

And many saw them departing, and knew them, and ran together on foot thither from all the cities, and arrived before them.

And when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

But he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denaries worth of bread, and give them to eat?

He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And when he saw them toiling hard in rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the lake. And he would have passed by them;

For they all saw him, and were terrified. But he immediately spoke with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.

And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

And coming to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes debating with them.

And they brought him to him. And as soon as he saw him, the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.

And uttering a cry, and convulsing him much, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that very many said, He is dead.

John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.

Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will not enter therein.

Peter began to say to him, Lo! we left all, and have followed thee.

Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, There is no one who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings,

But it is not so among you; but whoever desireth to become great among you, will be your minister;

And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the figtree withered from the roots.

And Peter remembered and said to him, Rabbi, see! the figtree which thou didst curse is withered away.

Truly do I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith will come to pass, he shall have it.

But shall we say, From men? They feared the people; for all regarded John as truly a prophet.

And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest for no one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, seeing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why are ye trying me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.

Then come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

And Jesus answered and said, while he was teaching in the temple, How is it that the scribes say, that the Christ is Davids son?

so also watch ye; for ye know not when the master of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning;

And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch.

And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.

And not even so did their testimony agree.
