and he proclaimed, saying - He that is mightier than I cometh after me, of whom I am not worthy to stoop and unloose the strap of his sandals:

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

and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying - What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him!

and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, - because they knew him to be Christ.

and he saith unto them - Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, - for, to this end, came I forth;

But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, - but, outside, in desert places, was he, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

and many were gathered together, so that no longer was there room even in the approaches to the door, - and he began speaking unto them the word;

And Jesus, straightway, taking note in his spirit, that thusthey are deliberating within themselves, saith unto them- Why, these things, are ye deliberating in your hearts?

But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:

And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him.

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

And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.

So that the Son of Man is, Lord, even of the Sabbath.

and they were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he would cure him, that they might accuse him.

And, the Pharisees, going out straightway with the Herodians, were giving counsel against him, that they should, destroy, him.

And he spake unto his disciples that a little boat might attend him, because of the multitude, - that they might not be pressing upon him.

For he cured many, so that they were besieging him, that they might touch him - as many as had plagues;

and he appointed a twelve, whom also he named, Apostles, - that they might be with him, and that he might be sending them forth to make proclamation,

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (and imposed on them a name - Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder);

and the multitude come together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And, if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom cannot be made to stand;

And, again, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, - -and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon the land.

And he was saying - He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!

and he was saying unto them - To you, the sacred secret hath been given of the kingdom of God, whereas, to them who are outside, in parables are all things coming to pass, - that

And he was saying unto them - Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?

For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.

For, he that hath, it shall be given, unto him, and, he that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him.

of itself, the earth beareth fruit, - first, a blade, afterwards, an ear, after that, full corn in the ear;

As a grain of mustard seed, - which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth;

and, as soon as it is sown, springeth up, and becometh greater than all garden plants, and produceth large branches, so that, under the shade thereof, the birds of heaven can find shelter.

And he saith unto them, on that day, when evening came, Let us cross over unto the other side;

And there ariseth a great tempest of wind, - and, the waves, were dashing over into the boat, so that, already being filled, was the boat.

And he was in the stern, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou not that we perish?

And they were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another - Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?

and he was beseeching him much that he would not send them forth outside the country.

and they besought him, saying - Send us into the swine, that, into them, we may enter;

And, they who had been feeding them, fled, and bare tidings into the city and into the fields, - and they came to see what it was that had happened.

And, as he was entering into the boat, he who had been demonized was beseeching him, that, with him, he might be.

and beseecheth him much, saying - My little daughter is at her last! - that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;

and, straightway, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew, in her body, that she was healed from the plague.

and he commanded them, again and again, that, no one, should get to know this thing, - and bade that food should be given her to eat.

and charged them that they should take, nothing, for a journey, save a staff only, - no bread, no satchel, no copper, for the belt;

And, whatsoever place shall not welcome you nor hearken unto you, when ye are going forth from thence, shake off the dust that is under you feet, for a witness against them.

And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;

And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying - I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.

dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.

And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.

And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.

But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;

the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.

And, wheresoever he was entering into villages, or into cities, or into hamlets, in the marketplaces, laid they the sick, and were beseeching him, that, only the fringe of his mantle, they might touch, and, as many soever as touched it, were being made well.

and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, - -

And he was saying to them - Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;

For, Moses, said - Honour thy father and thy mother, and - He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die, -

But, ye, say - If a man shall say to his father or his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,

Nothing, is there, from without the man, entering into him, which can defile him; but, the things which, out of the man, come forth, are the things that defile the man.

And he saith unto them - Thus, are, ye also, without discernment? Perceive ye not that, nothing, from without, entering into the man, can defile him;

And he was saying - That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth the man;

Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, - and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth out of her daughter.

And they bring to him one deaf and stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.

and, looking up into the heaven, sighed deeply, and saith unto him - Ephphatha! that is, Be opened!

And he charged them that they should be telling, no one, - but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.

And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.

And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.

And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them - Who, are men saying that I am?

And, he, went on to question them - But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him - Thou, art, the Christ.

And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.

And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of man, from among the dead should arise.

And they began to question him, saying - The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?

And, he, said unto them - Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?

and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; - and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.

And he questioned his father - How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said - From childhood;

and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.

And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it - Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.

And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying - He is dead!

And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, - and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;

Whosoever, unto, one ofthese children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.

For, whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water, in name that, Christ's, ye are, Verily! I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward.

And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.

And, if thy hand shall cause thee to stumble, cut it off, - it is, seemly, for thee, maimed, to enter into life, rather than having, the two hands, to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched;

and, the two, shall become, one flesh; so that, no longer, are they two, but, one flesh.

And they were bringing unto him children, that he might, touch, them, - the disciples, however, were rebuking them.

And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him - Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age - abiding, I may inherit?

who shall not receive a hundredfold, now, in this season, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, - with persecutions, and, in the age that is coming, life age-abiding.

And there come near unto him, James and John, the twosons of Zebedee, - saying unto him - Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us.

And, they, said unto him - Grant us, that, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, we may sit, in thy glory.

But, Jesus, said unto them - Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup that, I, am to drink? or to be immersed, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed?

And Jesus, calling them near, saith unto them - Ye know that, they who think to rule the nations, lord it over them, and, their great ones, wield authority over them;

And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying - O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.

And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And, answering him, Jesus said - What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him - Rabboni! that may recover sight.

and saith unto them - Go your way into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, as ye are entering it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which, no, man, yet, hath sat: loose him, and bring him.

And, certain of them that were there standing, were saying unto them - What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

And, they who were going before, and they who were following after, were crying aloud - Hosanna! Blessed, is he that is coming in the name of the Lord!

and was not suffering that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple;

Verily, I say unto you - Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be lifted up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that, what he speaketh, cometh to pass, it shall be his.

For this cause, I say unto you - All things, whatsoever ye are praying for and asking, believe that ye have received, and they shall be yours.

And, when ye stand praying, forgive, if aught ye have against any, - that, your Father also, who is in the heavens, may forgive you your offences.
