And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a belt of a skin about his waist; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

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

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

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

And when he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

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

And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

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

And when the unclean spirit had convulsed 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 commands even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

And he healed many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons; and allowed not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a lonely place, and there prayed.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

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

And he sternly charged him, and immediately sent him away;

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was told that he was in the house.

And immediately many were gathered together, so much that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

And when they could not come near unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the paralytic, Son, your sins be forgiven you.

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned among themselves, he said unto them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic)

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it in this fashion.

And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude came unto him, and he taught them.

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with tax collectors and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?

When Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

And it came to pass, that he went through the grain fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.

And he said unto them, Have you 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 did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to them who were with him?

And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had a withered hand.

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

And he said unto the man who had the withered hand, Stand forth.

And he said unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

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

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 unto him.

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

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

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

And he went up into a mountain, and called unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

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

And Simon he surnamed Peter;

And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

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

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

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

And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but comes to an end.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal judgment:

Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

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

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

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

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his teaching,

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

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

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

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are outside, all these things are done in parables:

And he said unto them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?

And he said unto them, Is a lamp brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand?

And he said unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

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

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knows not how.

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

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

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

But without a parable he spoke not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And the same day, when the evening was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him just as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish?

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

And when he came out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been wrenched apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man subdue him.

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

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

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

For he had said unto him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

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

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

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the demon asked him that he might be with him.

And he departed, and began to announce in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, many people gathered unto him: and he was near unto the sea.

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

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

And he said unto her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your disease.

While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Your daughter is dead: why trouble you the Teacher any further?

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

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

And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And when he came in, he said unto them, Why make you this commotion, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleeps.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the child, and them that were with him, and entered in where the child was lying.

And he took the child by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say unto you, arise.
