And quickly coming up from the water, he saw the heavens cleft asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him:

And they were struck with amazement at his teaching; for he was teaching them as having power, and not as the scribes?

Let alone; what to us and thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy of God.

And all were amazed, so as to seek out with themselves, saying, What is this? what new teaching this? for with power also he commands the unclean spirits, and they listen to him.

And again he went into Capernaum after the days; and it was heard that he is in the house.

And quickly many were gathered together, so as no more to have room, neither at the door: and he spake the word to them.

For not anything is hid, which should not be manifested; neither was concealed, but that it should come clear.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward.

As a kernel of mustard, which, when it be sown in the earth, is smaller than all seeds upon the earth:

He yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue, saying, That thy daughter is dead: why yet dost thou importune the Teacher?

And having time in, he says to them, Why make ye an uproar, and weep? the young child is not dead, but sleeps.
