And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John into 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 He healed many that were sick with many kinds of diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him [to be the Christ].

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

and saith to him, "See that you say nothing to any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses directed, for a testimony to them."

But he, going forth, began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter; so that He could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places. And they were coming to Him from every quarter.

And, having entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that He was in the house.

And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even about the door; and He was speaking the word to them.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they so reason within themselves, saith to them, "Why do ye reason these things in your hearts?

But, that ye may know the Son of Man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (He saith to the paralytic).

And he arose, and, straightway taking up the bed, went forth before them all; so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw it thus!"

And it comes to pass that He reclines at table in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners recline with Him and His disciples; for there were many, and they were following Him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, seeing that He was eating with the sinners and tax-collectors, said to His disciples, "Why doth He eat with the tax-collectors and sinners?"

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

And it came to pass that He was going on the sabbath through the grainfields; and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the heads of grain.

And the Pharisees said to them, "Behold, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?"

so that the Son of Man is Lord even of the sabbath."

And they were watching Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse Him.

And He spake to His disciples, that a little boat should wait, on Him, lest they should throng Him;

for He had healed many, so that as many as had plagues pressed upon Him, that they might touch Him.

And He was charging them much, that they should not make Him manifest.

And He appointed twelve [whom He also named apostles], that they might be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach,

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, (and He added to these the name "Boanerges," that is, "sons of thunder");

And the multitude comes together again, so that they could not even eat bread.

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 again He began to teach by the seaside. And there is gathered to Him a very great multitude, so that He, having entered into a boat, was sitting in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.

And He said, "He that has ears to hear, let him hear."

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

And He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under the measure, or under the bed! Is it not, that it may be put on the lampstand?

For there is nothing hid, except that it should be manifested; nor was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

For he that has, to him shall be given; and he that has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has."

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

yet, when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under its shadow."

And on that day, when evening came, He saith to them, "Let us go across to the other side."

And there arises a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating into the boat, so that the boat was now being filled.

And He Himself was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion; and they awake Him, and say to Him, "Teacher, is it no concern to Thee 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!"

and, crying with a loud voice, he says, "What is there to me and Thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me not!"

And he was beseeching 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 those feeding the swine fled, and reported it in the city and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.

And, as He was entering into the boat, he that had been a demoniac was beseeching Him, that he might be with Him.

and beseeches Him much, saying, "My little daughter is extremely ill; I pray that, coming, Thou wilt lay Thy hands upon her, that she may be healed and live."

and having suffered many things under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having been profited nothing, but rather coming into the worse state,

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

And straight-way Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power had gone forth from Him, turning about in the crowd, said, "Who touched Me?"

And He charged them much that no one should know this; and He commanded that something should be given her to eat.

And He could there do no mighty work, except that, laying His hands on a few sick people, He healed them.

and He charged them that they should take nothing for the way, except a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their girdle;

And, going forth, they preached that men should repent.

for Herod was fearing John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he was preserving him.

And, coming in straight-way, in haste, to the king, she asked, saying, "I wish that you would, forthwith, give me on a dish, the head of John the Immerser."

send them away, that, having gone into the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat."

And He commanded that all should recline by companies on the grass.

but, seeing Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and they cried out;

they ran about that whole country, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick, where they were hearing that He was.

And wheresoever He was entering into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and were beseeching Him, that they might touch even the border of His garment; and as many as touched were healed.

and saw that some of His disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.

And He said to them, "Well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may hold your tradition!

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He that speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die.'

But ye say, 'If a man say to his father or mother, That wherewith you might be profited by me is Corban,' that is, 'an offering to God,'

there is nothing from without the man, that, entering into him, can defile him; but the things proceeding out of the man are those that defile the man."

And He saith to them, "Are ye too thus without understanding? Do ye not perceive that nothing, entering into a man from without, can defile him;

And He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

and looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and saith to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

And He charged them that they should tell no one; but the more He charged them, the more a great deal did they publish it.

And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the 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 to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

And He asked them, "But Who do ye say that I am?" Peter, answering, says to Him, "Thou art the Christ."

And He charged them that they should tell no one concerning Him.

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

And Peter, answering, says to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here; and let us make three tents; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah;"

And, as they were coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they should tell no one what they saw, until the Son of Man should arise from the dead.

And they were asking Him, saying, "How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

And He said to them, "Elijah, indeed, comes first, and restores all things; and how it has been written concerning the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things, and be set at naught;

but I say to you that Elijah has both come, and they did to him whatsoever they wished, as it has been written of him."

and wheresoever it seizes upon him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I spake to Thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they were not able."

Jesus said to him, "'If thou canst!' All things are possible to him that believes."

And Jesus, seeing that a multitude was running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him."

And, having cried out, and convulsed him much, it came out; and he became as one dead; so that many said, "He died!"

And, going forth thence, they were passing along through Galilee; and He did not wish that any one should know it.

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

And they were bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.

And, as He was going forth into the way, one, running to Him, and kneeling, was asking Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?"

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying to Him, "Teacher, we wish that Thou wouldest do for us whatsoever we ask."

And He said to them, "What do you wish that I should do for you?"

And they said to Him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and one on Thy left, in Thy Kingdom."

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

And they said to Him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and the immersion with which I am immersed shall ye be immersed;

And Jesus, calling them to Him, saith to them, "Ye know that those thinking to rule over the gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them;

And, hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me!"

And many were rebuking him, that he should be silent. But he kept crying much more, "Son of David! have mercy on me!"

And Jesus, answering him, said, "What do you wish that I should do for you?" And the blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."

and saith to them, "Go into the village that is over against you; and straightway, as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.

And those going before, and those following, were crying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He That cometh in the name of the Lord!

and He was not permitting that any one should carry a vessel through the temple.

Verily I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it.

Therefore, I say to you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.
