And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit.

And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

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

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.

And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

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

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

And he went up to her and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.

And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.

And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.

And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.

And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.

And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

And he entered again into Capernaum after several days, and it was reported that he was at the house;

and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug it up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

Why does this man thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before them all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.

And he went out again by the sea, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.

And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-office, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?

And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears.

And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need and hungered, he and those with him,

how he entered into the house of God, in the section of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?

And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath;

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was there a man having his hand dried up.

And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

And he says to the man who had his hand dried up, Rise up and come into the midst.

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

And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

And the Pharisees going out straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

And he appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them to preach,

And he gave to Simon the surname of Peter;

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

And his relatives having heard of it went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

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

And if Satan rise up against himself, and is divided, he cannot subsist, but has an end.

But no one can, having entered into his house, plunder the goods of the strong man unless he first bind the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

because they said, he has an unclean spirit.

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren?

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

for whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,

And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

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

And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him as to the parables.

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

And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?

And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? Is it not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be more added to you.

For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.

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

and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.

But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.

And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,

but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.

And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:

and having sent away the crowd, they take him with them, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, Why are ye thus fearful? how is it ye have not faith?

because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.

And continually night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying and cutting himself with stones.

But seeing Jesus from afar off, he ran and did him homage,

and crying with a loud voice he says, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not.

For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he says to him, Legion is my name, because we are many.

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

And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.

And he suffered him not, but says to him, Go to thine home to thine own people, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and has had mercy on thee.

And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and all wondered.

And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; I pray that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

And he went with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed on him.

And he looked round about to see her who had done this.

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

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

And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.

And entering in he says to them, Why do ye make a tumult and weep? the child has not died, but sleeps.

And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise.

And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that something should be given her to eat.
