and said to him, All men seek you.

And he said to them, Let us go elsewhere to the adjoining villages to preach there; because for this purpose have I come.

And having compassion on him, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I will; be cleansed.

and said to him, See that you say nothing to any one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven.

And Jesus immediately knowing in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?

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

And passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting at the custom house, and said to him, Follow me; and he arose and followed him.

And the scribes and Pharisees seeing him eating with sinners and publicans, said to his disciples, Why does he eat and drink with sinners and publicans?

And Jesus hearing it, said to them, The well need not a physician, but the ill; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fasted. And they came and said to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and your disciples fast not?

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast,

And the Pharisees said to him, See what they do on the sabbath, which it is not lawful to do.

And he said to them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry? both he and those with him?

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

And he said to the man having the withered hand, Arise in the midst.

And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? And they were silent.

And looking around on them in anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

And those with him hearing of it, went out to take him; for they said, He is beside himself.

And the scribes coming down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebul, and casts out demons by the ruler of demons.

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

because they said, He has an impure spirit.

And a multitude sat around him. And they said to him, Behold your mother, and your brothers, and your sisters seek you without.

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

And looking round on those sitting about him, he said, Behold my mother, and my brothers!

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land.

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

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

And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables;

And he said to them, Do you not know this parable? How then will you know all parables?

And he said to them, Does a light come to be put under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], or under a bed? and not to be put in a candlestick?

And he said to them, Consider what you hear. With what measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and more shall be given you.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God as a man casts the seeds into the earth,

and sleeps and wakes, night and day, and the seed germinates, and grows he knows not how.

And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? or with what parable shall I present it?

It is like a mustard seed, which when sown in the earth is the least of all seeds on the earth;

And on that day, when it was evening, he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side.

And he was in the stern, on the pillow, asleep. And they awoke him and said to him, Teacher, do you not care that we perish?

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the lake, Hush! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith?

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another, What man is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?

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

For he said to him, Impure spirit, come out of the man.

And he asked him, What is your name? And he said to him, My name is Legion, for we are many.

and he permitted him not, but said to him, Go to your home, to your friends, and relate to them what the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you.

And Jesus having crossed again in the ship to the other side, a great multitude came together to him; and he was by the lake.

For she said, If I can touch his clothes I shall be cured.

And Jesus immediately knowing in himself that a power had gone out from him, turning round in the crowd said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said to him, You see the multitude throng you, and do you say, Who touched me?

And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has cured you; go in peace, and be well of your plague.

And Jesus hearing the word spoken, said to the synagogue ruler, Fear not, only believe.

And he went in and said to them, Why do you make a tumult and weep? the little child is not dead, but sleeps.

and taking the hand of the little child, he said to her, Talitha cum, which is interpreted, Girl, I tell you arise;

And when it was the sabbath, he taught in the synagogue; and many heard him and were astonished, and said, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him? And [what are] these mighty works done by his hands?

And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and with his relations, and in his own house.

And he said to them, Where you enter into a house, there remain till you go out thence.

And Herod the king, heard [of Jesus], for his name was widely known, and said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; and on this account the mighty works are performed by him.

But others said, he is Elijah; and others said, He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.

But Herod hearing of him, said, This is John whom I beheaded; he has been raised up.

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

the daughter of this Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod, and those that reclined with him. And the king said to the girl, Ask me what you will and I will give it to you;

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 to a solitary place by yourselves, and rest a little; for many were coming and going, and there was no convenient time to eat.

And when much time had already passed, his disciples came to him and said, This is a solitary place, and much time has already passed;

And he answered and said to them, Give them something to eat. And they said to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii [$28] worth of bread, and give them to eat?

And he said to them, How many loaves have you? go and see. And knowing, they said, Five, and two fishes.

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

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

And he immediately constrained his disciples to go into the ship, and to go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitude;

for they all saw and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Be of good courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophecy of you, hypocrites, as it is written; This people honors me with the lips, but their heart is far from me;

And he said to them, Well do you reject the commandment of God, to keep your tradition;

for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother, and, He that reviles father or mother, let him surely die.

And again calling all the people, he said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand.

And he said to them, Are you also so without understanding? Do you not understand that nothing which enters into a man from without can defile him,

But he said, that which comes out of the man, this defiles him;

And he said to her, Suffer the children first to be filled; it is not right to take the children's bread, and cast it to the little dogs.

And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And he said to her, For this speech, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.

and looking up to heaven he groaned, and said to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be opened.

And they were astonished above measure, and said, He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

IN those days, again a very great multitude being [around him], and not having any thing to eat, calling his disciples, he said to them,

And he asked them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, and giving thanks, he broke and gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the people.

And groaning in his spirit, he said, Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you truly, there shall no sign be given to this generation.

And leaving them, he entered again into the ship, and went away to the other side.

And Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart hardened?

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many traveling baskets of fragments took you up? They said to him, Twelve.

And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many store-baskets of fragments took you up? And they said, Seven.

And he said to them, Do you not yet understand?

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

And he asked them, And who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him, You are the Christ.

But turning round, and looking on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, Get behind me, Satan! for you regard not the things of God, but the things of men.

And calling the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wishes to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God having come with power.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and we will make three tabernacles, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;

And he said to them, Elijah comes first, and restores all things; as also it is written of the Son of man, That he shall suffer many things, and be set at naught;

And he answered and said to them, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.

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