And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

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

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.

And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;

And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them , no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),

And he arose, and straightway 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 it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

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

And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.

No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made.

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.

And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?

How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

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

And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth.

And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:

for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.

And he charged them much that they should not make him known.

And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons.

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

And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables.

And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:

that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.

And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places , who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.

And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

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

because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.

And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.

And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.

And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.

And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.

and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee , that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.

and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?

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

And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.

And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that'something'should be given her to eat.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean'such mighty works wrought by his hands?

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;

And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

And they went out, and preached that men'should repent.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.

send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.

And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.

And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God ;

there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;

And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

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

And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

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

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by , who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?
