And he proclaimed, saying, I indeed baptized you with water; but One cometh after me more powerful than I; the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loose,

I have baptised you with water: but he shall baptise you with the holy ghost."

and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.

But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,

But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.

But Simon and his companions hastened after him;

But Jesus said to them: "Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns near, that I may make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came."

But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.

But Jesus at once drove him out of their presence, and gave him this stringent charge:

and said unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them."

But he, as soon as he was departed, began to tell many things and to publish the deed, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

"How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--he said to the paralytic--

But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole have no need of the Physician: but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, "{Why} do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them and then shall they fast in those days.

And no man seweth on a patch of cloth undressed upon an old garment: but if otherwise, the new piece supplied taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

In like wise, no man poureth new wine into old vessels, for if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are marred. But new wine must be poured into new vessels."

but he replied, have ye never read what David, and the rest of the company did, when they were press'd with hunger?

How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the hallowed loaves, which is not lawful but for the priests only to eat: and gave also to them which were with him?"

But He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up in the crowd."

And he said to them, "Whether is it lawful? To do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or an evil? To save a man's life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.

But they held their peace. And looking round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.

But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

But over and over, he strictly forbade them to make him known.

Then he went into a house, but again such a multitude assembled that they could not get their food.

But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and "It is by the prince of daemons that he casts out daemons."

but calling them to him, he said by way of similitude, how can satan dispossess satan?

So if Satan make insurrection against himself, and be divided, he cannot continue, but is it an end.

But no one is able to enter into the house of a strong [man] [and] plunder his property unless he first ties up the strong [man], and then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

but he that blasphemeth the holy ghost shall never have forgiveness: but is in danger of eternal damnation."

He began again to teach by the sea-side: but there was so great a crowd gathered about him, that he was oblig'd to go into a ship, where he sat down, and stay'd on board while the people stood on the shore.

Some falls on the rocky ground where it finds but little earth, and it shoots up quickly because it has no depth of soil;

but as soon as the sun was up, it caught heat: and because it had not rooting it withered away.

Some of the seed fell among brambles; but the brambles shot up and completely choked it, and it yielded no return.

But some seed fell into good soil and yielded a crop that sprang up and increased, yielding thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold.

But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.

And he said unto them, "To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, shall all things be done in similitudes:

so that "they may see clearly but not perceive, and they may hear clearly but not understand, otherwise they might turn around and be forgiven.'"

but if, said he, you don't comprehend this easy parable, how can ye understand any of the rest?

The ones along the path are those who have the message sown in their hearts, but as soon as it is sown there, Satan comes and carries off the message that has been sown in their hearts.

And these are they likewise who have received the seed on stony ground, who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy: But have not root in themselves, and so indure but for a time:

yet have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: and anon, as soon as any trouble and persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they fall.

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

But those, on the other hand, who were sown on that good soil, are those who listen to the Word, and welcome it, and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold."

For there is nothing so privy, that shall not be opened: neither so secret, but that it shall come abroad.

because whoever has something, will have more given to him. But whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."

But when the crop permits, he sends [in] the sickle right away, because the harvest has come."

But after that it is sown it groweth up, and is greatest of all herbs: and beareth great branches so that the fowls of the air may dwell under the shadow of it."

And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable.

And without similitude spake he nothing unto them. But when they were apart, he expounded all things to his disciples.

and having sent away the crowd, they take him with them, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.

But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and asked him, "Teacher, don't you care that we're going to die?"

But they were struck with great awe, and said to one another: "Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

He had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but had snapped the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one could tame him.

But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,

As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

Howbeit, Jesus would not suffer him but said unto him, "Go home into thine own house and to thy friends, and show them what great things the Lord hath done unto thee, and how he had compassion on thee."

But the man went away and began telling people throughout Decapolis about all of the great things Jesus had done for him. [Note: "Decapolis" means "ten cities" and was a region located east of the Jordan River].

And there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years ??26 she had suffered a great deal under a number of doctors and had spent all her means but was none the better; in fact she was rather worse.

and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and felt none amendment at all: But waxed worse and worse.

but having heard of Jesus; she came behind him in the crowd, and touched his garment.

For she thought, "If I may but touch his clothing, I shall be whole."

But the disciples kept saying to Him, "You see the crowd jostling you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"

But he kept looking about to see who had done it,

But the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had taken place in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

But he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be well from your suffering."

But Jesus, ignoring {what was said}, told the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid--only believe!"

He let no one go with Him but Peter, James, and James's brother John.

And he went in and said unto them, "Why make ye this ado and weep? The maiden is not dead, but sleepeth."

And they began laughing at him. But he sent [them] all out [and] took along the father and mother of the child, and those [who were] with him, and went in to where the child was.

But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

And Jesus said unto them, "A prophet is not despised but in his own country, and among his own kin, and among them that are of the same household."

And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.

and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.

He bade them take nothing but a staff for their journey; no bread, no wallet, no coins in their purse;

but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats.

But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them."

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad), and he said, John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. But others said, It is Elijah.

But others were saying, "He is Elijah," and others were saying, "[He is] a prophet like one of the prophets."

But when Herod heard of him, he said, "It is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from death again."

For it was Herod himself who had sent for John and had him arrested and chained up in prison. He did this to please Herodias, who was [i.e., had been] his brother Philip's wife, but whom Herod had married.

Herodias laid wait for him, and would have killed him, but she could not.

but she could not, for Herod was afraid of John because he knew that he was a just and holy man. So he kept him safe. When he listened to John he was much exercised, yet he found pleasure in listening to him.

But when a convenient day was come: Herod on his birthday made a supper to the Lords, captains, and chief estates of Galilee.

But she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask? She replied: The head of John the Immerser.

The king was deeply grieved, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests [who might have regarded him as weak], he was unwilling to [break his word and] refuse her.

but immediately dispatch'd the proper officer with orders to bring the head of John the Baptist.

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.

but as the day was far advanc'd, his disciples came to him, and said, this is a desart place, and it is now late.

But he answered [and] said to them, "You give them [something] to eat." And they said to him, "Should we go [and] purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give [it] to them to eat?"

But He saith to them, "How many loaves have ye? go and see." And, having ascertained, they say, "Five, and two fishes."
