John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.

And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.

Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

And all the town had come together at the door.

And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.

And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.

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.

And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

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

And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.

And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

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 it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

And he said to the man, Get up and come forward.

And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of evil spirits he sends evil spirits out of men.

If there is division in a kingdom, that kingdom will come to destruction;

And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;

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.

And his mother and brothers came and were outside, and sent for him, requesting to see him.

And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.

And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.

And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:

And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.

And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.

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

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

And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.

And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

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

And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

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

And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.

And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

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

And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.

And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.

But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.

And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.
