casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers) And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

And in the evening, when the sun was set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

And Jesus immediately knowing in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, said to them, Why reason ye thus in your hearts?

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

And he arose and followed him. And as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes and Pharisees seeing him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? And Jesus hearing it saith to them-

And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath that which is not lawful?

And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry he and they that were with him?

And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.

And his relations hearing of it, came out to lay hold on him; for they said, He is beside himself.

But the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

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

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And looking round on them who sat about him, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren.

And again he taught by the sea-side, and a great multitude was gathered to him, so that going into the boat, he 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 to them in his teaching, Hearken:

And as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

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

And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are in parables:

The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown;

And these are they likewise who have received the seed on stony ground, who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy: But have not root in themselves, and so indure but for a time:

And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be cut under a bushel or under a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you, and to you that hear, shall more be given.

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 knoweth not how.

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

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is one of the least of the seeds that are in the earth.

And the same day, in the evening he saith to them, Let us go over to the other side.

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

And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it, that ye have not faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

(For he had said to him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.)

But Jesus suffered him not, but said to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

And when Jesus was passed over again by boat to the other side, much people was gathered to him, and he was near the sea.

For she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall be whole.

And Jesus immediately knowing in himself, that virtue had gone out of him, turning about in the croud said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and continue whole of thy plague.

And taking the damsel by the hand he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, (I say to thee) arise.

And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kindred, and in his own house.

And he said to them, Wheresoever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

And king Herod heard (for his name was spread abroad) and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore divine powers exert themselves in him.

Others said, It is Elijah: and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

But Herod hearing thereof, said, This is that John whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee, to have thy brother's wife.

When the daughter of Herodias had come in and danced and pleased Herod, and his guests, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And when the day was now far spent, the disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and it is now late.

He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

He saith to them, How many loaves have you? Go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes.

And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies on the green grass.

And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

And taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and gave them to the disciples to set before them: and he divided the two fishes among them all.

And straightway he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and go before to the other side toward Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

He answering said to them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

And he said to them, Full well ye abolish the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, Whoso revileth father or mother, he shall surely die.

And calling all the multitude, he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you and consider.

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied; for it is not right to take the childrens bread and cast it to the dogs.

She answered and said to him, True, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And he said to her, For this saying, go: the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

And they said, Seven. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they did set them before the people.

And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded, to set them also before them.

And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.

And he left them and taking boat again, went to the other side.

And they said, Seven. And he said to them, How is it, that ye do not understand?

And looking up he said, I see men, as trees walking.

And when he had called the people to him, with his disciples also, he said to them, Whosoever is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God coming with power.

And he answering told them, Elijah verily coming first, restoreth all things: and, how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.

And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? And one of the multitude answering said,

And he asked his father, How long is it since this came to him? And he said, From a little child.

And straightway the father of the child crying out, said with tears, Lord, I do believe: help thou mine unbelief.

And having cried and rent him sore, he came out; and he was as dead, so that many said, He is dead.

And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting.

For he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men; and they will kill him, and after he hath been killed, he shall rise the third day.

And taking a little child, he set him in the midst of them, and embracing him he said to them, Whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name,

And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, who can readily speak evil of me.

Tempting him. And he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?

They said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.

And Jesus answering said to them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this precept.

But Jesus seeing it was much displeased and said to them, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

And he answering said to him, Master, all these have I kept from my childhood.

Then Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: Go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me, taking up thy cross.

But he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved; for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looking round said to his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?

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

And Peter said to him, Lo, we have left all and followed thee. And Jesus answering said,

And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?

They said to him, Grant us to sit one on thy right-hand, and one on thy left-hand in thy glory.

But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with.

But to sit on my right-hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but to them for whom it is prepared.
