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 baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

And He stayed in the desert forty days, while He was being tempted by Satan; yea, He was with the wild beasts, but the angels continued to wait upon Him.

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

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.

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

and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

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 he said to him, "See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing [the things] which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

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

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

Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?

But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

But when the Scribes of the Pharisee sect saw Him eating with the sinners and the tax-gatherers, they said to His disciples, "He is eating and drinking with the tax-gatherers and sinners!"

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

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.

And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins: or the skins will be burst by the wine, and the wine and the skins will be wasted: but new wine has to be put into new wine-skins.

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, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to put to death? But they said nothing.

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 Judea.

But He charged them time after time not to tell who He was.

but the crowd gathered again, so that it was impossible even to have a meal.

But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

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

And if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.

But no one is able to go into the house of the strong man and take his goods, without first putting cords round the strong man, and then he will take his goods.

But whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but the evil he has done will be with him for ever:

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 part of it fell on good ground, which sprang up, and grew so fruitful, that some grains produced thirty, others sixty, and some an hundred.

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

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

so that although they look they may look but not see, and although they hear they may hear but not understand, so they may not repent 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:

And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.

but the worries of the times, the deceiving pleasures of being rich, and evil desires for other things, creep in and choke the truth out, and it yields nothing.

But the ones sown on good ground are those who hear the word, welcome it, and produce a crop: 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.

For whoever has will have more given to him, but whoever has nothing, even what he has will be taken away."

But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.

But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

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 a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.

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 furious squall of wind came up, and the waves were dashing over into the boat, so that it was fast filling.

But he was asleep on the pillow, in the stern of the boat. And they awake him and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

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?"

for he had often been fastened with fetters and chains but had snapped the chains and broken the fetters, and no one was strong enough to overpower 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,

And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

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 undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

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

for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.

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

But he looked around 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, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

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

But He strictly charged them to let nobody know about it, and told them to give her something to eat.

And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.

And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

[But] He marveled at the people's lack of faith. So, He traveled and taught throughout the [surrounding] villages.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

but to put on sandals and not to wear two tunics.

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 said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

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.

And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.

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.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to 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 said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

But he said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."
