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

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.

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

And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.

And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for, for this purpose have I come.

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

And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was understood that he was in the house.

And forthwith many were assembled, so that there was no room to receive them, no not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them.

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

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

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

And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners.

When Jesus heard it, he saith to them, They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up, taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

And it came to pass, that he went through the corn-fields on the sabbath; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

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

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

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

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small boat should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many; so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had diseases.

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

And he ordained twelve, that they should 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 if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

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

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never hath forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.

And other fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up, and increased, and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.

And he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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

And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: With the measure which ye give, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.

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

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

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

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

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

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

And they that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

And when he had come into the boat, he that had been possessed with the demon prayed him that he might be with him.

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.

And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not relieved, but rather grew worse,

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

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the throng, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And he looked around, to see her that had done this thing.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe,

And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And he charged them strictly that no man should know it; and 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, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

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

And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:

And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

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.

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and observed him: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And she came in forthwith with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldst give me, immediately, in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

Send them away, that they may go into the country around, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

And they that ate of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

And ran through that whole region around, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

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

And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled (that is to say with unwashed) hands, they found fault.

And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition,

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him.

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

(The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

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

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Effatha, 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;

So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.

And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand?

After that, he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to 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 scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

And he said to them, Verily I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
