Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

And he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else into the next towns, that I may proclaim there also, because I came out for this reason."

And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed."

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

And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

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

And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"

And he said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry?he, and those who were with him?

And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

And he said to the man with the withered hand, "Stand up in the middle."

And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.

And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

And he told his disciples that a small boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him.

And when his family heard it, they went out to take charge of him: for they said, "He is out of his mind."

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons."

And so he summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

And looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Look, my mother and my brothers.

And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a great crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the crowd were on the land by the sea.

And it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is not it put on a stand?

And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you.

And he said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he does not know how.

And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it?

It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

And on that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."

And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace. Be still." The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"

And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me."

For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."

And he did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."

And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"

And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."

And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.

And taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum." which translated means, "Girl, I tell you, get up."

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."

And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."

For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

So she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist."

And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.

He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."

He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men."

He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

He called all the crowd to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.

He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."

In those days, when there was a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to himself, and said to them,

He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."

He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.

They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.

He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

He left them, and again entering into a boat, departed to the other side.

He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?

He looked up, and said, "I see men; they look like trees walking."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah."

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And one out of the crowd answered him, and said, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.

Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."

Having screamed, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

And he said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again."

He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."

He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us."
