And John was clothed with camel's hairs and a leather girdle about his loins, and he eat locusts and wild honey,

and going up immediately out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit descend like a dove upon him;

And passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting [a net] into the lake, for they were fishermen.

And proceeding a little further on he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; and they were in the ship mending the nets;

And all were astonished, so that they inquired among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching with authority, and does he command the impure spirits and they obey him?

and Simon's mother-in-law was lying with a fever; and immediately they told him of her.

And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and suffered not the demons to say that they knew him.

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 many came together immediately, so that there was no room, not even in the places about the door; and he spoke to them the word.

Why does this man speak so? he blasphemes. Who can forgive sins but God alone?

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

in what respect is it easier to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven you, than to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk?

And he was raised up and immediately taking his bed he went away before all; so that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never saw the like.

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

so that the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.

And they watched him [to see] if he would cure him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

For he cured many, so that all who had diseases fell down before him, that they might touch him;

and the impure spirits when they saw him fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God.

and again a multitude came together, so that they could not eat bread.

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.

Hear! behold a sower went out to sow;

that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest at any time they should turn, and be forgiven.

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

but when sown, it comes up, and becomes the greatest of all plants, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can dwell under its shade.

And there was a great tempest of wind, and the waves beat over the ship, so that the ship was already filled.

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

And those who fed them fled and told it in the city and in the country; and they came out to see what was done.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac who had the legion, sitting down, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

And those who saw related to them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine.

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

And he looked round to see her that had done this.

And they came to the house of the synagogue ruler, and saw the tumult, and the people weeping and lamenting much.

For Herod had sent and taken John, and, put him bound in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her.

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

And many saw them going, and knew them; and they ran together there from all the cities on foot, and went before them.

And going out he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he taught them much.

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

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.

But you say, If a man says to his father or mother, It is a corban, which is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me, [he shall be free];

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,

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 charged them to tell no one; but as much as he charged them, so much the more they proclaimed [his works].

Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

And taking the hand of the blind man, he brought him out of the village, and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him, Do you see any thing?

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

Then he put his hands on his eyes again, and he looked, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

And Jesus went away, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

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

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 his garments became shining, extremely white, so that no fuller on the earth could whiten them.

And looking round immediately they no longer saw any one but Jesus alone with them.

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

And coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.

And crying out and affecting him with many convulsions, he went out. And he was like a dead person, so that many said, He is dead.

And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him.

and whoever gives you a cup of water because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward.

And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith, it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he was cast into the sea.

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

but it shall not be so with you. But whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be your minister;

And if any one says to you, Why do you do this? say, The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him.

and seeing a fig tree at a distance having leaves, he went to see if he could find any thing on it. And having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not time for figs.

And passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

I tell you truly, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be raised up and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says will be done, whatever he says shall be done for him.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him?

But if we say from men, they feared the people, for all considered John as a prophet indeed.

Shall we pay? or shall we not pay? But he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you try me? Bring me a denarius [14 cents], that I may see it.

And they brought him one. And he said to them, Whose is this figure, and the inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.

And Jesus said, Render Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. And they wondered at him.

And the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying,

Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies and leaves a wife, and leaves no child, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother.

and to love him with all the heart, and all the understanding, and all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And Jesus answered and said, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

AND as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, Teacher, see what stones, and what buildings!

And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And Jesus said to them, See that no man deceives you;

And when they deliver you to afflictions, be not anxious beforehand what you shall say; but whatever is given you in that hour, this speak; for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

And when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, let him that reads understand, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains;

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

so also when you see all these things occur, know that [the Son of man] is nigh, at the doors.

And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.

and where he enters in, say to the master of the house, The teacher says, where is the public room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another made without hands.

And Jesus said, I am; and you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

But he denied it, saying, I do not know [him]; neither do I know what you say. And he went out into the porch, and a cock crew.

And Pilate asked him, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus answered and said to him, As you say.

And Pilate again asked him saying, Do you answer nothing? see how many things they charge against you.

And Jesus answered him not any more; so that Pilate wondered.

let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those crucified with him reproached him.

And some of those standing by, hearing him, said, See, he calls Elijah.

And one ran, and filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting it on a reed gave it to him to drink, saying, Let him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

and the centurion who stood near, opposite to him, seeing that he so expired, said, Truly, this man was a Son of God.

And the women also saw from afar, among whom were Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joset, and Salome,

And Mary the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joset saw where he was laid.

And they said to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb???4 and looking up they saw that the stone was rolled away??or it was very great.

And coming to the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe; and they were astonished.

And he said to them, Be not astonished; you seek Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is raised; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you to Galilee; there you shall see him as he said to you.
