And there went out to him all the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And he preached, saying, "There cometh after me One Who is mightier than I, the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to loose.

And straightway He called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired servants, they went away after Him.

And straight-way there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,

saying, "What is there to us and Thee, Jesus, Nazarene? didst Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee Who Thou art, the Holy One of God."

And, having risen very early, by night, He went out into a desert place, and was there praying.

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 He went into their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, preaching, and casting out the demons.

And there comes to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst cleanse me!"

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 Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."

But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

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.

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 He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there, having his hand withered.

And having looked round about on them with anger, and being grieved at the hardness of their heart, He saith to the man, "Stretch forth your hand." And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored.

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.

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

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, having been roused up, He rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And, when He came out of the boat, straightway there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

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!"

Now there was there by the mountain a great herd of swine feeding

And they began to beseech Him to depart from their borders.

And there comes one of the synagogue-rulers, Jairus by name; and, seeing Him, he falls at His feet,

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

And He marvelled because of their unbelief. And He was going round about the villages, teaching.

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 He said to them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide, till ye depart thence.

And He saith to them, "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little." For there were many coming and going, and they were not finding opportunity even to eat.

And the people saw them going on their way, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.

for they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened.

And, crossing over, they came upon the land to Gennesaret, and anchored there.

And there gather together to Him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem,

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands thoroughly, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

and, coming from the marketplace, unless they immerse themselves, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they received to hold; as, immersion of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels.

And He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, This people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me.

But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

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 again, going forth out of the borders of Tyre, He came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, He called to Him His disciples and saith to them,

"I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

and, if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; and some of them are from afar."

And, sighing deeply in His spirit, He saith, "Why does this generation seek a sign? verily I say to you, there shall no sign be given to this generation."

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 He said to them, "Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

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 there came a cloud overshadowing them; and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved; hear ye Him."

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

For He was teaching His disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and, having been killed, after three days He will rise again."

But Jesus said, "Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall exercise power in My name, and be able quickly to speak evil of Me;

where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

Jesus said, "Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for My sake and the Gospel's sake,

and they will mock Him and will spit upon Him, and will scourge Him, and will kill Him; and after three days He will rise again."

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 some of those standing there said to them, "What do ye, loosing the colt?"

And they bring the colt to Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and He sat on him.

And many spread their garments in the way; and others spread branches, having cut them from the fields.

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

Shall we give, or shall we not give?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are ye tempting Me? Bring Me a denary, that I may see it."

And there come to Him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they were asking Him, saying,

There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife; and, dying, left no seed.

A second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

The scribe said to Him, "Well, Teacher, Thou didst say truly that He is One, and there is not another beside Him;

for they all did cast in out of their abundance; but she out of her want cast in all that she had??er whole living."

And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left here a stone upon a stone, which shall not be thrown down."

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines: these are the beginning of anguish.

for those days will be a time of tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.

And then, if any one shall say to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' or, 'Lo, there!' believe him not;

for there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

for they said, "Not during the feast, lest there should be an uproar of the people."

And, while He was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as He was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly; and, having broken the cruse, she was pouring it down on His bead.

But there were some who were much displeased among themselves, saying, "To what purpose has this waste of the ointment been made?

For this ointment could have been sold for above three hundred denaries, and given to the poor!" And they were murmuring against her.

And He sendeth two of His disciples, and saith to them, "Go your way into the city; and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him.

And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; and there make ready for us."

Because the Son of Man is going as it has been written concerning Him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born."

And, returning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer Him.

And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and there come together with him all the high priests and the elders and the scribes.

For many were bearing false testimony against Him, and their testimonies were not agreed.

"We heard Him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.'"

And not even so did their testimony agree.

And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy;" and the officers received Him with blows of their hands.

And, as Peter was beneath in the court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest;

And there was one called Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who, in the insurrection, had committed murder.

And they were smiting His head with a reed, and kept spitting on Him; and, bowing their knees, they were worshiping Him!

And those passing by railed on Him, wagging their beads, and saying, "Aha! Thou Who destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days!

And, the sixth hour having come, there was darkness upon the whole land until the ninth hour.

And there were also women, beholding from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome;

there came Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable councillor; who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God; and boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, that He is going before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him, as He said to you."

And afterward He was manifested to the eleven themselves, as they were reclining at table, and upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who saw Him after He had risen.

And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word through the signs closely following.
