And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?

Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously;

Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.

that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.

And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.

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

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

And Jesus immediately allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; I pray that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

And he looked round about to see her who had done this.

While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

And having laid hold of the hand of the child, he says to her, Talitha koumi, which is, interpreted, Damsel, I say to thee, Arise.

And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got there before them.

And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;

And he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.

And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land.

And seeing them labouring in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

For all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good courage: it is I; be not afraid.

And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

And he charged them that they should speak to no one of it. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see them, as trees, walking.

Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.

And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

And they asked him saying, Why do the scribes say that Elias must first have come?

but I say unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.

And when he came to the disciples he saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing against them.

And having cried out and torn him much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.

for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.

And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh.

Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.

Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.

And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.

And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.

And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.

Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see it.

And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,

Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
