It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.

And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.

And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.

And Simon and those with him searched for him.

And he says to him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

For he healed many, so as to press upon him, so that as many as had afflictions might touch him.

And the multitude comes together again, so as for them, no, not even to be able to eat bread.

And when those with him heard it, they went out to grasp him, for they said, He is beside himself.

And a multitude was sitting around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brothers, and thy sisters, outside seek for thee.

For whoever may do the will of God, the same is my brother and sister and mother.

For there is not anything hid, except that it may be revealed, nor become secret, but that it may come to be visible.

For whoever has, to him it will be given. And he who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.

For the earth bears fruit spontaneously, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

And a great storm of wind develops, and the waves were thrown into the boat, so as for it now to be filling.

And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?

For Herod himself having sent forth, he arrested John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he married her.

For John said to Herod, It is not permitted for thee to have thy brother's wife.

for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. And having heard of him--the many things he was doing--he even heard of him gladly.

And having become a convenient day, when Herod on his birthday made a dinner for his chiefs, and the high captains, and the leading men of Galilee,

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves in private into a desolate place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And he saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them, walking on the sea, and wanted to passed by them.

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

And having answered, he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me.

For having set aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men: washings of pots and cups and many other such like things ye do.

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him perish in death.

then ye no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life because of me and the good-news, this man will save it.

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

And having responded, Peter says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And we could make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

For he knew not what he would say, for they were frightened.

And having answered, he said to them, Elijah indeed comes first and restores all. And how it is written for the Son of man, that he would suffer many things and be rejected.

But I say to you, that Elijah has also come, and they did to him as much as they wanted, just as it is written for him.

And whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is good for him instead, if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.

And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire

where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.

And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, pluck it out. It is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire,

where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched.

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But again having answered, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.

And having looked at them, Jesus says, With men, impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that thou would do for us whatever we ask.

And he said to them, What do ye want me to do for you?

For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

And having stood still, Jesus said for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up. Arise, he calls thee.

For truly I say to you, that whoever may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but will believe that what he says comes to pass, whatever he may say will be for him.

Because of this I say to you, all things, as many as ye may ask, praying, believe that ye receive, and it will be for you.

But should we say, From men? (They feared the people, for all held John that he was indeed a prophet.)
