And Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.

And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek you.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and said unto him, I will; be clean.

And said unto him, See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the paralytic, Son, your sins be forgiven you.

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned among themselves, he said unto them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?

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

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

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat to eat in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with tax collectors and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?

When Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they came and said unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?

And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

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

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

And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

And he said unto the man who had the withered hand, Stand forth.

And he said unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the demons casts he out demons.

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside seek for you.

And he looked round about on them who sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and 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 unto them in his teaching,

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

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are outside, all these things are done in parables:

And he said unto them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?

And he said unto them, Is a lamp brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a lampstand?

And he said unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you: and unto 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 knows not how.

And he said, With what 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 less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

And the same day, when the evening was come, he said unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish?

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

And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

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

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

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

For he had said unto him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

But Jesus permitted him not, but said unto him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.

And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, many people gathered unto him: and he was near unto the sea.

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

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said unto him, You see the multitude thronging you, and you say, Who touched me?

And he said unto her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your disease.

While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Your daughter is dead: why trouble you the Teacher any further?

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

And when he came in, he said unto them, Why make you this commotion, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleeps.

And he took the child by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say unto you, arise.

But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

And he said unto them, In whatever place you enter into a house, there abide till you depart from that place.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

Others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

But when Herod heard of it, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

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

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the girl, Ask of me whatsoever you will, and I will give it to you.

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

And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.

And he said unto them, Come you yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest awhile: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And when the day was now ending, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

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

He said unto 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 groups upon the green grass.

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

And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

And immediately he made his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and said unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him die the death:

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

And he said unto them, Are you so without understanding also? Do you not perceive, that whatsoever thing from outside enters into the man, it cannot defile him;

And he said, That which came out of the man, that defiles the man.

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not right to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And he said unto her, For this saying go your way; the demon is gone out of your daughter.

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said unto them,

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

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

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

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why does this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

And when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why reason you, because you have no bread? perceive you not yet, neither understand? have you your heart yet hardened?

When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They said unto him, Twelve.

And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? And they said, Seven.

And he said unto them, How is it that you do not understand?

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

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

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

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

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Teacher, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
