It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.

And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?

And he says to them, Let us go into the nearby towns, so that I may preach there also. For I came forth for this.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Truly I say to you, that all the sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies, as many as they may blaspheme.

There is nothing outside the man, entering into him that can defile him, but the things coming out of him those are the things that defile the man.

And they questioned him, saying, The scholars say that Elijah must first come.

And having answered, he said to them, Elijah indeed comes first and restores all. And how it is written for the Son of man, that he would suffer many things and be rejected.
