And all the Judean country and the Jerusalemites were going out unto him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And immediately the Spirit casts Him out into the wilderness.

and saying, That the time is fulfilled: the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.

And they were astonished at His teaching; for Ile was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

saying, Let me alone; what is there to us and thee, thou Jesus, the Nazarene? You have come to destroy us; I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out from him.

And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a great voice, came out from him.

And they were all astonished, so that they were inquiring one to another, saying, What is this? what new teaching is this? Because according to authority He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him;

and His fame went out immediately into all the surrounding country of Galilee.

And immediately, having come out from the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

And it being evening, when the sun went down, they were carrying to Him all the sick and demonized;

And He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

And in the morning, exceedingly early, while it was yet night, having arisen up He came out, and went away into a desert place, and was praying there.

And He says to them, Let us go into the surrounding villages and cities, that I may preach there; for unto this I have come out.

And He was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.

And he having gone out, began to proclaim many things, and to publish abroad the word, so that He was no longer able openly to come into the city, but was out in desert places: and they continued to come to Him from all directions.

And again He having come into Capernaum during those days; and it was heard that He was in the house.

And immediately many were assembled together, so that there was no room, even at the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

And not being able to come near Him on account of the crowd, they opened the roof where He was: and having lifted it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

And he arose immediately, and having taken the bed, went out before them all. So that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, Never have we seen it after this sort.

And He came out again by the sea; and the whole multitude came to Him, and He was teaching them.

And passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus sitting at the toll, and says to him, Follow me. And rising up, he followed Him.

And it came to pass, while He was sitting at the table in his house, and many publicans and sinners were sitting along with Jesus and his disciples: for they were many, and they followed Him.

And the scribes and Pharisees, seeing Him eating with the publicans and sinners, were saying to His disciples, Why does He eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

No one puts new wine in old bottles: lest the new wine shall break the bottles, and the wine is poured out, and the bottles shall perish: but the new wine is put in new bottles.

And it came to pass, that He was traveling through the corn-fields on the Sabbath-day; and His disciples began to make the journey plucking the ears.

And the Pharisees continued to say to Him, Behold what they are doing on the Sabbath, which is not lawful.

And He said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, and those with him?

How he entered into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priest, and he gave it to those being with him?

And He says to them; Is it lawful to do good or to do evil on the Sabbath; to save life, or to kill? And they were silent.

And looking round on them with indignation, being grieved over the hardness of their hearts, He says to the man; Reach forth thy hand. And he reached it forth and it was restored.

And the Pharisees, having gone out immediately along with the Herodians, took counsel against Him in order that they might kill Him.

And He said to His disciples, that a little boat should wait on Him in order that they may not tread on Him.

And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and were crying out, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

And He made twelve (apostles) that they may be with Him and that He may send them out to preach,

and to have power to heal diseases, and to cast out the demons.

And He comes into a house; and the multitude come together again so they are not able to eat bread.

And those along with Him hearing came out to arrest Him: for they continued to say, He is beside Himself.

And the scribes having come down from Jerusalem were saving, He has Beelzebul and He is casting out the demons through the prince of the demons.

And calling them to Him, He continued to speak to them in parables, How is Satan able to cast out Satan?

And again He began to teach by the sea: and a great multitude is gathered unto Him, so that He having gone into a ship, sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was at the sea on the land.

Hear: Behold, a sower went out to sow:

and it came to pass while he was sowing, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured it.

And other fell upon stones, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

and when the sun arose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit.

And He said to them, To you it has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them who are without, all things are in parables:

And those who are by the way-side, where the word is sown; and when they hear it, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which was sown in their hearts.

And those who are sowed upon the rocks are likewise, those who, when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it.

and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires concerning other things coming into them, choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

And these are they who are sown on good ground; whosoever hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.

And He said to them; Whether does the light come, that it may be placed under a bushel, or under a bed? is it not that it may be placed on a candlestick?

For there is nothing hidden which may not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, but that it may come into the light.

And He said to them. See what you hear: with what measure you measure it shall be measured unto you: and it shall be added unto you who hear.

For whosoever has, it shall be given unto him: and he who has not, it shall be taken from him even that which he has.

And when the fruit may develop, immediately he thrusts in the sickle, because the harvest is at hand.

And He said, To what may we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable may we present it?

Tis like a grain of mustard seed, which when it may be sown upon the earth, is the smallest of all seeds which are upon the earth,

and when it may be sowed, it springs up, and becomes the greatest of herbs, and produces great branches; so that the birds of the heavens are able to lodge under its shadow.

And He says to them, on that day, it being evening, Let us go away to the other side.

And there was a great storm of wind: and the waves were dashing into the ship, so that it was already filled.

And a man from the tombs, with an unclean spirit met Him, having come out of the ship;

and crying with a loud voice, he says, What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee in the name of God, that you may not torment me.

For He said to him, Unclean spirit, come out from the man.

And He asked him, What is thy name? And he says to Him, My name is Legion; because we are many.

And he continued to intreat Him much, that He would not send them out of the country.

And Jesus immediately permitted them. And the unclean spirits having gone out, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and there were about two thousand: and they were strangled in the sea.

And those herding them fled, and reported in the city, and in the country. And they came out to see what it was that came to pass.

And those seeing, related to them how it happened to the demonized man and concerning the swine.

And one of the chief rulers of the synagogue, by name jairus, comes; and seeing Him falls at His feet,

and intreats Him much saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: that coming He may lay hands on her, in order that she may be saved and live.

And immediately Jesus, knowing in Himself that the powerhas gone out from Him, turning in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments?

And He looked round to see her who did it.

And the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what has taken place unto herself, came and fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

And they hooted at Him. And putting them all out, He takes the father and mother of the child and those with Him, and goes in where the child was.

And He charged them much that no one should know it; and He said that something should be given to her to eat.

And He came out thence and comes into His own country; and His disciples follow Him:

and it being the Sabbath day, He began to preach in the synagogue: and many hearing were astonished, saying, Whence are these things to this one? and, What wisdom is given unto Him? Such miracles are wrought by His hands.

And He calls the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two; and He gave them authority over unclean spirits.

And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence.

And having gone out they preached that they must repent;

and they cast out many demons; and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them.

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

And it being a high day, when Herod on his birthday made a feast to his mighty men, and chiliarchs, and the first men of Galilee;

and the daughter of Herodias herself, having come in and danced, and pleased Herod and those sitting with him; the king said to the damsel. Ask what you may wish, and I will give it to you.

And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And having departed, he beheaded him in prison: and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

And his disciples having heard, came and took his body, and put it in a sepulcher.

And He said to them, Come ye privately into a desert place, and rest a little while. For many were coming and going, neither had they leisure even to eat.

And Jesus having come out saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion in their behalf, because they were as sheep having no shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.

And already the hour being late, His disciples coming to Him, say, That it is a desert place, and the hour is already late:

send them away, that having gone into the surrounding country and the villages, they may purchase for themselves bread: for they have not what they may eat.

And responding He said to them, You give to them to eat. And they say to Him, Having gone away must we purchase the loaves of two hundred denaria, and give them to eat?

And they all ate, and were filled;

And it being evening, the ship was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone upon the land.

But they, seeing Him walking on the sea, thought it was a specter, and cried out.

And they having come out from the ship, immediately recognizing Him,

For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
