and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals;

And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;

and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.

and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,

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 the Pharisees said to him, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'

And he said to them, 'Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?

And he said to them, 'The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,

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 other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.'

And he saith to them, 'Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

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.

for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.'

and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how;

and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, 'Be not afraid, only believe.'

And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

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

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

And Jesus said to them -- 'A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

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

and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'

for John said to Herod -- 'It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, 'Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

and, coming from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

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?'

and he saith to them, 'So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

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 from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.'

In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

And Jesus having known, saith to them, 'Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

And he said to them, 'How do ye not understand?'

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 he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them.

for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself -- 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'

And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,

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

'Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'

And John did answer him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.'

And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

for he who is not against us is for us;

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;

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

and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;'

the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

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

who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

and Jesus said to them, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?'

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

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 if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

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.
