And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.

And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.

See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, (he said to the man,)

And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

So that the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.

And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.

And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people;

For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

And he took twelve to be with him, so that he might send them out as preachers,

And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

If there is division in a kingdom, that kingdom will come to destruction;

And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;

And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.

So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.

But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.

And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?

And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.

And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.

And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:

And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.

And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.

But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

Even so, when you see these things taking place, you may be certain that he is near, even at the doors.

But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

For fear that, coming suddenly, he sees you sleeping.

And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but cursed is that man through whom the Son of man is given up! It would have been well for that man if he had never been given birth.

And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

And he went forward a little, and falling down on the earth, made request that, if possible, the hour might go from him.

Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

Now he who had been false to him had given them a sign, saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he; take him, and get him away safely.

I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.

Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for witness against Jesus so that they might put him to death; and they were unable to get any.

And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.
