The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

A voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

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

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

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

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

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

Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the Son of God!"

James the son of Zebedee; John, the brother of James, and he surnamed them Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder;

Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;

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

When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."

It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."

Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.

The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.

He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."

As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

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

They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?" The common people heard him gladly.

"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"

But in those days, after that oppression, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light,

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born."

He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."

But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

Jesus said, "I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky."

When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he cried out like this and breathed his last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!"

Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

When they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.

Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn't believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
