I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

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

and said to him, "See you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

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

But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in those days.

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins."

And he said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.

And he told his disciples that a small boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they would not press on him.

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

But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"?

And again he began to teach by the seaside. And a great crowd was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the crowd were on the land by the sea.

And he said to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

And they have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is not it put on a stand?

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."

Without a parable he did not speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other boats were also with him.

And a big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

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

As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demons begged him that he might be with him.

And he did not allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your own, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

And when Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

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

But Jesus, overhearing the message spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, only believe."

And when he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep.

And they ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."

So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.

And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.

So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.

But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.

But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"

And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.

When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."

He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves;

for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'

There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man."

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"

From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.

But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.

He left them, and again entering into a boat, departed to the other side.

Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

They answered him, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah."

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."

But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me."

But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

But Jesus said, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

But from the beginning of the creation, he made them male and female.

and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me. Do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

But many who are first will be last; and the last first."

But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."

But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he shouted all the louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me."

Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

He taught, saying to them, "Is not it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers."

Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; it will be done for him.

But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.

He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went on a journey.
