and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'

And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.

And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

and having found him, they say to him, -- 'All do seek thee;'

And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,

and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him -- 'If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'

And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'

and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying -- 'Never thus did we see.'

And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them,

And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'

And Jesus said to them, 'Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;

and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.'

and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil.

'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

and he said to them, 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

And he saith to them, 'Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

and he said to her, 'Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing them.

and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, 'Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'

and he sware to her -- 'Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.'

and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, 'I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

and they did all eat, and were filled,

for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, 'Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

and he answering said to them -- 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;

And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, 'Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'

all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'

Afterwards again he put his hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, 'Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

And Jesus said to him, 'If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'

The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.'

And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'

but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

Having yet therefore one son -- his beloved -- he sent also him unto them last, saying -- They will reverence my son;

'What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;

And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, 'Which is the first command of all?'

and Jesus answered him -- 'The first of all the commands is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one;

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this is the first command;

And the scribe said to him, 'Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.'

and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;

for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.'

Tell us when these things shall be? and what is the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?'

and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed.

and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved.

and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things.

Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass away till all these things may come to pass;

and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.'

for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always;

Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished, prepared -- there make ready for us.'

And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it -- all;

and Jesus saith to them -- 'All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad,

but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.'

And Peter said to him, 'And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;'

And he spake the more vehemently, 'If it may be necessary for me to die with thee -- I will in no wise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

and he said, 'Abba, Father; all things are possible to Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but what Thou.'

And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

And having left him they all fled;
