And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.

And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan: and was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.

And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed him.

And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

But the mother of Simon's wife lay sick with a fever; and forthwith they tell him of her.

And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.

And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.

And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee.

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.

And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And they come to him, bringing one sick with the palsy, who was borne by four.

And when they could not come nigh to him by reason of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the sick with the palsy lay.

And he went forth again by the sea-side; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners.

And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, used to fast: and they come, and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath that which is not lawful?

And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests, and gave also to them who were with him?

And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him.

And the Pharisees went forth, and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea.

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small boat should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many; so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had diseases.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

And he strictly charged them, that they should not make him known.

And he goeth up upon a mountain, and calleth to him whom he would: and they came to him.

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they went into a house.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

There came then his brethren and his mother, and standing without, they sent to him, calling him.

And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And he looked around on them who sat about him, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.

And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable.

If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other small boats.

And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

For he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,

(For he said to him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.)

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

And they began to pray him to depart out of their borders.

And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon prayed him that he might be with him.

Yet Jesus suffered him not, but saith to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. And all men wondered.

And when Jesus had passed over again in a boat to the other side, much people gathered to him: and he was nigh to the sea.

And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.

And Jesus went with him; and many people followed him, and thronged him.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the throng, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And he went out from thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples follow him.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

And he calleth to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath risen from the dead.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and observed him: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And the king was exceeding sorry: yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

And the apostles assembled themselves to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came together to him.

And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out.

(For they all saw him, and were troubled.) And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid.

And when they had come out of the boat forthwith they knew him,

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him, were healed.

Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoever curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
