John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a beast's skin about his loins. And he did eat locusts and wild honey,

And as soon as he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens open, and the holy ghost descending upon him like a dove.

As he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishers.

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship mending their nets.

And Simon's mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and anon they told him of her.

and said unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them."

And anon many gathered together, insomuch that now there was no room to receive them: no, not so much as about the door. And he preached the word unto them.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee."

"How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, he said unto them, "Why think ye such things in your hearts?

Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy; thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, arise, take up thy bed and walk?

"I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy bed, and get thee hence into thine own house."

And by and by he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all: insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God saying, "We never saw it on this fashion."

And he went out again unto the sea, and all the people resorted unto him, and he taught them.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sit at the receipt of custom and said unto him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

Also no man seweth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for then taketh he away the new piece from the old, and so is the rent worse.

and they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

And he said to them, "Whether is it lawful? To do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or an evil? To save a man's life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.

And Jesus avoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and from Jewry,

And when the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him, and cried saying, "Thou art the son of God."

And he called James the son of Zebedee, and John, James' brother, and gave them Boanerges to name, which is to say, the Sons of Thunder.

And they came unto house, and the people assembled together again, so greatly that they had not leisure so much as to eat bread.

So if Satan make insurrection against himself, and be divided, he cannot continue, but is it an end.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and take away his goods, except he first bind that strong man and then spoil his house.

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto men's children: and blasphemy, wherewith they blaspheme:

And he began again to teach by the seaside. And there gathered together unto him much people, so greatly that he entered in to a ship, and sat in the sea, and all the people was by the seaside on the shore:

"Hearken to. Behold; The sower went out to sow,

And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, so that it gave no fruit.

that when they see, they shall see, and not discern: and when they hear they shall hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should turn, and their sins should be forgiven them."

yet have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: and anon, as soon as any trouble and persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they fall.

For there is nothing so privy, that shall not be opened: neither so secret, but that it shall come abroad.

And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, even as if a man should sow seed in the ground,

But after that it is sown it groweth up, and is greatest of all herbs: and beareth great branches so that the fowls of the air may dwell under the shadow of it."

And there arose a great storm of wind, and dashed the waves into the ship, so that it was full.

And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

and he said unto them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?"

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What fellow is this? For both wind and sea obey him."

And they came over to the other side of the sea into the country of the Gaderenes.

And anon Jesus gave them leave; And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine. And the herd startled, and ran headlong into the sea. They were about two thousand swine, and they were drowned in the sea.

And the swine herders fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came out for to see, what had happened;

And they came out to Jesus, and they saw him that was vexed with the fiend, and had the legion, sit: both clothed and in his right mind; and were afraid.

And they that saw it told them, how it had happened unto him that was possessed with the devil: and also of the swine.

And when Jesus was come over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

And behold, there came unto him one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Jairus: and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet,

And he looked round about, for to see her that had done that thing.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain which said, "Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?"

And he came unto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and saw the wondering and them that wept and wailed greatly;

And took the maiden by the hand, and said unto her, "Talitha, cumi," which is by interpretation, "maiden I say unto thee, arise."

Is not this that carpenter: Mary's son, the brother of James, and Joseph and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by the reason of him.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness unto them. I say verily unto you, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomorra, at the day of judgment, than for that city."

For Herod himself had sent forth, and had taken John, and bound him and cast him into prison for Herodias' sake, which was his brother Philip's wife. For he had married her.

John said unto Herod, "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."

And she went forth and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "John Baptist's head."

And the king was sorry. Yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat at supper also, he would not put her beside her purpose.

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land,

and he saw them troubled in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them. And about the fourth quarter of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

When they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

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

And when they saw certain of his disciples eat bread with common hands, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they complained.

But ye say, 'A man shall say to his father or mother, Corban; which is, that thou desirest of me, to help thee with, is given to God.'

And so ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother,

and he said unto them, "Are ye so without understanding? Do ye not yet perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into a man, it cannot defile him,

And Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be fed. For it is not meet, to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto whelps."

She answered and said unto him, "Even so, Master. Nevertheless, the whelps also eat under the table of the children's crumbs."

And he departed again from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, and came unto the sea of Galilee through the midst of the coasts of the ten cities.

and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him, "Ephphatha," that is to say, "Be opened."

And he commanded them that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."

Have ye eyes and see not? And have ye ears and hear not? Do ye not remember?

And he caught the blind by the hand, and led him out of the town, and spat in his eyes and put his hands upon him, and asked him whether he saw ought.

And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees."

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns that belong to the city called Caesarea Philippi, and by the way he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I am?"

And they answered, "Some say that thou art John Baptist: some, say Elijah, and some, one of the prophets."

And he said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter answered and said unto him, "Thou art very Christ."

For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

And his raiment did shine, and was made very white, even as snow: so white as no fuller can make upon the earth.

And suddenly, they looked round about them and saw no man, more than Jesus only with them.

And they asked him, saying, "Why then Say the scribes, that Elijah must first come?"

Moreover, I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have done unto him whatsoever pleased them, as it is written of him."

And he came to his disciples, and saw much people about them, and the scribes disputing with them.

And they brought him unto him. And as soon as the spirit saw him, he tare him. And he fell down on the ground, wallowing and foaming.

When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him."

And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not."

"And whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink for my name's sake because ye are belonging to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, that believe in me: it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.

Even so, if thine eye offend thee, pluck him out. It is better for thee to go into the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire:

Salt is good. But if the salt be unsavoury: what shall ye salt therewith? See that ye have salt in yourselves. And have peace among yourselves, one with another."

'And for this thing's sake shall man leave his father and mother, and bide by his wife,

and they twain shall be made one flesh.' So then are they now not twain, but one flesh.

When Jesus saw that, he was displeased, and said to them, "Suffer the children to come unto me and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

Verily I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he shall not enter therein."

And Peter began to say unto him, "Lo, we have forsaken all, and have followed thee."

Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's,

So shall it not be among you: but whosoever of you will be great among you, shall be your minister.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry and to say, "Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me."
