John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

And there came a voice from heaven, "Thou art my dear son, in whom I delight."

And immediately the Spirit leadeth him out into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days,

and he was there in the wilderness forty days, and was tempted of Satan, and was with wild beasts. And the angels ministered unto him.

And when he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

The people there were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority, not like the experts in the law.

And there was in their synagogue, a man vexed with an unclean spirit, and that cried

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 there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.

And in the morning, very early, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed.

He was praying there when Simon and his companions hunted him out

And he said unto them, "Let us go in to the next towns, that I may preach there also: for truly I came out for that purpose.

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said unto him, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."

But [instead] the man went out telling everyone about the miracle of healing and spreading the story widely, so that Jesus was not able to enter a town publicly but had to remain outside in deserted places. [So], people went to Him there from all over the region.

Some days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was in a house there;

And anon many gathered together, insomuch that now there was no room to receive them: no, not so much as about the door. And he preached the word unto them.

And there came unto him, that brought one sick of the palsy, borne of four men:

And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat at meat also with Jesus and his disciples. For there were many that followed him.

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

No one sews a patch of new cloth on an old garment: otherwise its new filling-up takes from the old stuff, and there is a worse rent.

And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there which had a withered hand:

he said then to the man who had the withered hand, rise and stand there in the midst.

And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea; and there followed him a great multitude from Galilee, and from Judea,

and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.

Therefore He spake to his disciples, that there might be a small vessel attending Him, because of the multitude, least they should throng Him: for He had healed many,

There was Simon, whom he surnamed Peter,

And again the crowd gathered in such numbers that there was no chance for them even to have their meals.

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 if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.

And there come his mother and his brethren, and, standing, outside, they sent unto him, calling him.

And there was sitting around him a multitude, and they say unto him - Lo! thy mother and thy brethren, outside, are seeking thee!

And glancing at those who were sitting round him in a circle he said, "There are my mother and my brothers!

"Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother."

And he began again to teach by the seaside. And there gathered together unto him much people, so greatly that he entered in to a ship, and sat in the sea, and all the people was by the seaside on the shore:

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

And some seed fell on rocky ground where there was not much soil, and immediately it sprouted up because the soil was so shallow.

"What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those 'on the wayside' where the Word is sown.

The ones along the path are those who have the message sown in their hearts, but as soon as it is sown there, Satan comes and carries off the message that has been sown in their hearts.

and have no root in themselves, but, only for a season are, - afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;

There are others who are 'sown among thorns.'

Then there were those who were sown on fertile soil. These represent people who heard 'the word,' accepted it and yielded a crop of thirty, sixty and even a hundred times [as much as was planted]."

For there is nothing so privy, that shall not be opened: neither so secret, but that it shall come abroad.

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be more added to you.

for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.'

The ground of itself produces, first the stalk, then the head; at last there is the matured grain of wheat in the head.

it is like a grain of mustard-seed, which when sown in the earth, is less than any other grain that is sown there.

And they left the people, and took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other ships.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and dashed the waves into the ship, so that it was full.

And He was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awaken Him, and say to Him; Teacher, is there no care to thee that we perish?

And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

And when he was come out of the ship, anon there met him out of the graves a man possessed of an unclean spirit,

Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.

and screaming with a loud voice, he said, “What business do we have in common with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore you by God [swear to me], do not torment me!”

And he asked him: "What is your name?" "My name," he said, "is Legion, for there are many of us;"

He told him, "My name is Legion, because there are many of us." He kept pleading with Jesus not to send them out of that region.

And there was there, nigh unto the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down a steep slope into the sea and drowned there.

And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting [there] clothed and in his right mind--the one who had had the legion--and they were afraid.

And, Jesus crossing over in the boat again unto the other side, there was gathered a large multitude unto him, and he was by the lake.

And behold, there came unto him one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Jairus: and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet,

and he departed with him. And there was following him a large multitude, and they were pressing upon him.

And there was a certain woman, which was diseased of an issue of blood twelve years,

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain which said, "Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?"

They came to the home of the leader of the synagogue, and there He saw confusion, and people weeping and wailing without restraint.

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

And he went out from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him.

But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."

And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.

And he said unto them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

And whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, [as you] go out from there, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."

for Herodias made her appearance there, and danc'd with such an engaging air in the eye of Herod, as well as of all the company, that the king thus addrest himself to the young lady, "ask of me whatever you please, and it shall be granted."

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

And many [people] saw them leaving and recognized [them], and ran there together by land from all the towns, and arrived ahead of them.

so that when Jesus landed, he found there a numerous assembly: which rais'd his compassion, because they were like so many sheep straggling without a pastor. whereupon he gave them various instructions.

And they sat down: here a row, and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties.

There were 5,000 men who had eaten the loaves.

for they all saw Him and were terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. "There is no danger," He said; "it is I; be not alarmed."

And [after they] had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored [there].

and ran forth throughout all the region round about, and began to carry about in beds all that were sick, to place where they heard tell that he was there.

Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem and gathered around Him,

And when they come from the market, except they wash themselves they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have taken upon them to observe, as the washing of cups and cruses, and of brazen vessels, and of tables.

He replied, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture],

‘These people honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.

There is nothing without a man that can defile him when it entereth into him, but those things which proceed out of him are those which defile the man.

"What, do even you understand so little?" exclaimed Jesus. "Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can 'defile' him,

For it is from within, out of the hearts of men, that there come evil thoughts--unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,

And from there he set out [and] went to the region of Tyre. And [when he] entered into a house, he wanted no one to know, and [yet] he was not able to escape notice.

In those days when there was a very great company, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said unto them,

and there being a few small fishes, he gave thanks, and order'd them to be distributed.

Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

there the Pharisees being come, they began to dispute with him, and to try him, desir'd he would work some miracle in the sky.

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."

They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”

From there Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began to question his disciples saying, "Who do people say I am?"

And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."
