The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.

and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.

And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:

And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.

And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:

be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.

And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to him that had the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

But that ye may know, that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins,

And as He went along, He saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receit of custom, and saith unto him, Follow me: and he rose up and followed Him.

and therefore the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.

And impure spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God:

and James the Son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, (and He surnamed them Boanerges, which is to say, Sons of thunder,) and Andrew,

and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,

but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:

where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And in like manner, they that are sown as on stony grounds are such, as when they hear the word,

immediately receive it with joy, but have no root in themselves, and so continue but for a short season: and then, when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, they are as soon offended.

And those that are sown as among thorns, are these: such as hear the word indeed,

And these are they who are like seed sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

It is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds on the earth:

but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow.

and crying out with a loud voice said, Jesus thou Son of the most high God, what have I to do with thee? I adjure thee by God, that thou wouldst not torment me:

Now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountains:

and all the demons intreated Him, saying, Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.

And immediately Jesus permitted them: and the impure spirits went out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd (which were about two thousand,) ran violently down a precipice into the sea, and were suffocated.

And they that were feeding the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what was done:

and concerning the swine, they intreated Him to depart from their borders.

And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and as soon as he saw Him, he fell at his feet,

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here among us? and they were prejudiced against Him.

and the pharirisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring of Him a sign from heaven, tempting Him.

And He sighing deeply in his spirit, saith, Why doth this generation require a sign? Verily I tell you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.

and began to tell them, that the Son of man must suffer much; and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death: and after three days rise again.

for whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this degenerate and sinful age, of him will the Son of man be also ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, that there are some of those who stand here, that shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

and his raiment shone, being exceeding white as snow, so as no fuller on earth can whiten.

And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.

And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them to tell no one what they had seen, till after the Son of man were risen from the dead.

And He answered and told them, Elias doth indeed come first, and settle all things: He told them likewise how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be used contemptuously.

And one of the multitude answered, and said, Master I have brought unto thee my son, who is possessed by a dumb spirit:

And they brought him to Him: and as soon as he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into convulsions: and he fell upon the ground, and rolled about foming.

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles;

For the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.

And they came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.

And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity on me.

and saith to them, Go into the village over against you, and as soon as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man hath yet sat; loose him, and bring him to me.

Having yet therefore one Son, his beloved, he sent him also at last unto them, saying, they will reverence my Son.

And Jesus spake and said, as He was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say, that the Christ is the son of David?

So that David himself calleth Him Lord: how then is He his son? And many of the people heard Him with pleasure.

saying, Tell us when these things shall be, and what shall be the sign when all these things are to be accomplished.

One brother shall betray another to death, and the father the son: and children shall appear against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

But in those days, after that affliction, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give it's light; and the stars of heaven shall fall,

and then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory.

But of THAT day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

The Son of man is going indeed as it is written concerning Him; but wo to that man by whom He is betrayed; it had been good for him, if that man had never been born.

And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Are ye sleeping still and taking your rest? It is enough, the hour is come: behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

(Now the traitor had given them a sign, saying, The man, whom I shall kiss, is He; lay hold of Him and lead Him away safely:)

and as soon as he came, he went directly up to Him and said, Master, Master; and kissed Him.

but he held his peace, and made him no answer. So the high priest asked Him again, and saith to Him, Art thou the Messiah the Son of the blessed God?

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

And when the centurion, that stood over against Him, saw that He expired with such a cry, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

and very early in the morning of the first day of the week they come to the sepulchre at sun-rising.

but they, though they heard that He was indeed alive, and had been seen by her, did not believe it.

At last he appeared to the eleven as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief, and hardness of heart; because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He was risen.
