John did baptise in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.

John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a beast's skin about his loins. And he did eat locusts and wild honey,

I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'

and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

And they marveled at his learning. For he taught them as one that had power with him, and not as the scribes did.

saying, Oh no! What is with us and with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Did thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou are, the Holy man of God.

And after convulsing him the unclean spirit did come out of him with a loud cry.

And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

And he healed many {who were sick} with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so: "I am willing; become clean."

and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying -- 'Never thus did we see.'

and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.

Jesus hearing this, said to them, they that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?"

And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

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?"

Then He said to the Pharisees, "Is it permissible by the law of Moses to do something good, or something harmful on the Sabbath day? To save a life or to kill it?" But they did not reply.

then he looking with indignation at those about him, being concern'd at their disingenuous perverse temper, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, which he did, and his hand become sound.

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.

for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues;

and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end.

and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it;

And other [seed] fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once, because it did not have [any] depth of soil.

And when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have [enough] root, it withered.

And other [seed] fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.

And some fell upon good ground: and did yield fruit that sprang and grew: and brought forth some thirty fold, some sixty fold, and some a hundred fold."

And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

This is so that even though they see, they will see and yet not perceive. And even though they hear, they will hear and yet not understand. For if they did, they would turn [back to God] again and receive forgiveness."

but worry [over things] of the world, and the deceitfulness of material wealth, and the evil desires for other things entered their hearts and choked [the effectiveness of] 'the word,' so that it did not yield a crop [in their lives].

For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.

then went to bed and got up the next day to find that the seed had sprouted and grown, yet he did not know how it happened.

And he did not speak to them without a parable, but in private he explained everything to his own disciples.

And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:

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

and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

And he did not permit him, but said to him, "Go to your home to your [people] and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and [that] he has had mercy on you."

And he departed, and began to publish in the ten cities, what great things Jesus had done unto him; and all men did marvel.

When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?'

And his disciples said unto him, "Thou seest the people thrusting thee on every side, and yet askest, 'Who did touch me?'"

And he looked around to see the woman who did this thing.

As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain, saying -- 'Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

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

And when he entered in, he says to them, Why do ye make a commotion, and weep? The child did not die, but sleeps.

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 he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

And Herod having heard, said -- 'He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

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 [although he] was deeply grieved, the king, because of his oaths and {dinner guests}, did not want to refuse her.

and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

And the apostles gather together to Jesus, and reported all to him, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught.

And he said to them, "You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time." For those [who were] coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.

And they all did eat, and were satisfied.

And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.

because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.

And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers in his ears, and did spit, and touched his tongue,

And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, gave thanks, brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them. And they did set them before the people.

and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;

And they had forgotten to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with them in the boat.

they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,

When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

And his raiment did shine, and was made very white, even as snow: so white as no fuller can make upon the earth.

(For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)

and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them.

And they did not forget what he said, but discussed with one another what he meant by the rising from the dead.

But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

Whenever it brings on a seizure, it throws him to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. So I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they didn't have the power."

They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

And it did come out, after shrieking aloud and convulsing him violently. The child turned like a corpse, so that most people said, "he is dead";

And from there they went out [and] passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,

But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.

And he came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house, he asked them, What did you dispute about on the way?

and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

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.'

He set out from there and went to the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Then crowds converged on Him again and, as He usually did, He began teaching them once more.

And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?

but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

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

And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.

For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple [courts].

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?'

And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him?
