THE beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

And after John was delivered up Jesus came into Galilee preaching the good news of God,

saying, The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is at hand; change your minds and believe in the good news.

saying, What have you to do with us, Jesus Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? We know you who you are, the holy [Son] of God!

Why does this man speak so? he blasphemes. Who can forgive sins but God alone?

And he was raised up and immediately taking his bed he went away before all; so that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never saw the like.

How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the chief priest, and eat the show bread, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? And they were silent.

and the impure spirits when they saw him fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God.

Whoever shall do the will of God, this is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up and increasing, and bore one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables;

And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God as a man casts the seeds into the earth,

And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? or with what parable shall I present it?

and crying with a loud voice, said, What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the most high God? I adjure you, by God, not to torment me.

for they all saw and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Be of good courage; it is I; be not afraid.

for leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men.

And he said to them, Well do you reject the commandment of God, to keep your tradition;

making the word of God of no effect by your tradition which you have delivered; and many such things you do.

But turning round, and looking on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, Get behind me, Satan! for you regard not the things of God, but the things of men.

For whoever wishes to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life for my sake, and that of the good news, shall save it.

And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God having come with power.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;

And if your hand offends you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the inextinguishable fire.

And if your foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell.

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell,

Salt is good; but if the salt has become insipid, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

What God therefore has yoked together, let not man separate.

But Jesus seeing it, was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

I tell you truly, that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

And as he was going on the way, one ran before and kneeled down to him, and asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? none is good but one, God.

And Jesus looking around said to his disciples, With what difficulty shall those having riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, Children, with what difficulty shall those who trust in riches enter into the kingdom of God!

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.

Jesus said, I tell you truly, there is no one who has left a house, or brothers, or sisters, or a mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,

And Jesus stopping, said, Call him. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of good courage; arise, he calls you.

And Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God;

And they came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no one, for you respect not the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

And Jesus said, Render Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. And they wondered at him.

Jesus said to them, Do you not err on this account, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; you greatly err.

Jesus answered, First is, Hear Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;

and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

And the scribe said to him, Well, teacher, you have said truly; there is one [God], and no other but him;

And Jesus seeing him, that he answered understandingly, said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God; and no one dared to question him more.

And the good news must first be preached to all nations.

for those days shall be an affliction, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created till now, and shall not be.

But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good work on me.

The poor you have always with you, and you can do them good when you will; but me you have not always.

I tell you truly, that wherever this good news shall be preached in all the world, this also which she has done shall be told for a memorial of her.

The Son of man goes indeed as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would be good for him if that man had not been born.

I tell you truly, that I will drink of the product of the vine no more till that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

And one of those who stood by drew a sword and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his car.

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani? which is interpreted, my God! my God! why hast thou forsaken me?

and the centurion who stood near, opposite to him, seeing that he so expired, said, Truly, this man was a Son of God.

Joseph came, who was from Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, who also himself expected the kingdom of God, and went in boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

And having bought linen, he took him down and wrapped him in the linen, and placed him in a tomb which was cut from a rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

And he said to them, Go into all the world, preach the good news to all the creation;

Then the Lord, after speaking with them, was taken up to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
