And he proclaimed, saying, I indeed baptized you with water; but One cometh after me more powerful than I; the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loose,

and He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

And coming up straightway from the water, He saw the heavens open and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him.

And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels continued to minister unto Him.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting their net in the sea: for they were fishers.

And going forth thence a little, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, themselves also in a ship mending their nets,

and immediately He called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired hands, they departed after Him.

And they come into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath, He was teaching in the synagogue.

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

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 having come to her, taking her by the hand, He raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she continued to minister unto them.

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 speaking, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

And charging him, He immediately sent him away,

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.

Why does He speak blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except the one God?

(He says to the paralytic), I say unto thee, Arise, take thy bed, and go into thy house.

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?

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 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 said to them, The Sabbath was made for the sake of man, and not man for the sake of the Sabbath.

He came again into the synagogue, a man was there having a withered hand.

And they were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse Him.

And He says to the man having a withered hand; Rise up in the midst.

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 from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan, and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing so many things that He was doing, came to Him.

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

For He healed many; so that they were falling before Him so that they might touch Him, so many as had diseases.

And He charged them much that they should not make Him known.

And He goes up into the mountain, and calls whom He wished: and they went away to Him.

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

And He placed the name Peter on Simon;

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and on them He placed the names Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

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 if Satan stand up against himself, and is divided, he is not able to stand, but has an end.

No one is able, having entered into the house of a strong man, to spoil his goods, unless he may first bind the strong man, and then he will spoil his house.

Because they were saying, He has an unclean spirit.

And He responding to them, says, Who is my mother and my brothers?

And looking round on His disciples sitting about Him in a circle, He says, Behold my mother and my brothers!

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.

And He was teaching them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,

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

And He said, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.

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:

in order that seeing they may see, and not know; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they may turn, and their sins may he forgiven unto them.

And He says to them, Do you not understand this parable? and how will you know all parables?

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?

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 He said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as a man may cast seed on the ground;

and he may sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed germinates and grows, as he does not know.

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?

And in many such parables He continued to speak the word to them, as they were able to hear.

And without a parable He did not speak to them: and He privately expounded all things to His disciples.

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

And leaving the multitude, they receive Him, as He was in the ship; and other ships were also with Him.

And He was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awaken Him, and say to Him; Teacher, is there no care to thee that we perish?

And being awakened, He said to the sea, Be calm, be quiet. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And He said to them, Why are you so cowardly? how have you not faith?

because frequently he had been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were slipped off by him, and the fetters torn to pieces.

No one was able to tame him: and all the time, night and day, he was among the tombs in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

And seeing Jesus a great way off, he ran to Him, and worshiped Him;

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

And He having come to the ship, the demonized man intreated Him that he should be with Him.

And He did not permit him, but says to him, Go to thine own house to thy people, and proclaim to them how many things the Lord has done for thee, and had mercy on thee.

And he went away, and began to preach in Decapolis, how many things Jesus did to him. And all were astonished.

And Jesus crossing over in the ship again to the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto Him; and He was by the sea.

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 He departed with him; and a great multitude followed Him, even treading on Him.

And He looked round to see her who did it.

And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

And He still speaking, they come from the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why do you still trouble the Teacher?

and He did not permit any one to accompany Him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And He comes into the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue; And He sees a tumult, weeping and wailing much;

and having come in, He says to them, Why are you excited and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleepeth.

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 was not able to do any miracle there, except laying hands on a few sick people, He healed them.
