And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, throwing a net about in the sea; for they were fishers.

And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

And he immediately called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

And they went into Capernaum; and immediately, on the sabbath, he entered the synagogue, and taught.

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

And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

And forthwith, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now the mother-in-law of Simon lay sick of a fever. And at once they told him of her.

And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.

And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And when they had found him, they said to him: All are seeking for thee.

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to publish the matter abroad, so that he was no longer able to enter a city openly, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.

And they came to him, bringing a paralytic, who was carried by four men.

And not being able to come near him, on account of the multitude, they took off the roof where he was, and having broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.

And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts?

And he arose forthwith, and took up his bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen it thus.

And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him 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: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were in the habit of fasting; and they came, and said to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples fast not?

And Jesus said to them: Can the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can not fast.

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

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the fields of grain: and his disciples began, as they went, to pull the ears of grain.

And the Pharisees said to him: See, why are they doing on the sabbath-day what is not lawful?

And they watched him, whether he would cure him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse him.

And he said to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians, and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should continue near him, because of the multitude, that they might not press upon him.

For he cured many, so that as many as had diseases rushed upon him, that they might touch him.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried out, saying: Thou art the Son of God.

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

And he went up into a mountain, and called to him such as he wished, and they came to him.

And he appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up. And they went into a house:

and the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread.

And when his relatives heard of it, they came out to take him; for they said: He is beside himself.

Verily I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever impious speeches they may utter;

For they said: He has an unclean spirit.

And the multitude was sitting about him; and they said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers are without, seeking you.

that they may surely see, and not perceive; and that they may surely hear, and not understand; lest they should turn to me, and their sins should be forgiven them.

These are they that received seed by the wayside, where the word is sown; and when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And these are they that, in like manner, received seed in stony places: who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy:

and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a time; afterward, when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately take offense.

And these are they that received seed among thorns; who hear the word,

And these are they that received seed on the good ground; who hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.

And when they had sent the multitude away, they took him with them, as he was in the ship; and there were other little ships with him.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on the pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him: Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And they came to the opposite side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the swine; and the herd (they were about two thousand,) rushed down a steep place into the sea, and were strangled in the sea.

And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came out to see what had been done;

and they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac, who had had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

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

And they derided him. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

And the maiden immediately arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were greatly astonished.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they found in him cause for offense.

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 cured them.

And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body, and laid it in a tomb.

And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And he said to them: Come yourselves privately into a desert place, and rest awhile. For there were many coming and going, and they had not leisure even to eat.

And they went away, by ship, into a desert place, privately.

And many saw them departing, and recognized him; and they ran thither on foot from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to him.

And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep that had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

send them away, that they may go into the country and the villages round about, and buy bread for them selves: for they have nothing to eat.

He answered and said to them: Do you give them food. And they said to him: Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them food?

He said to them: How many loaves have you? Go and see. And when they had learned, they said: Five, and two fishes.

And they reclined in oblong squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And they all ate, and were satisfied;

and they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces, and of the fishes.

But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a specter, and cried out;

for they all saw him, and were troubled. And he immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered;

for they had learned nothing from the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

And when they had passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and drew the ship ashore.

And when they had come out of the ship, the people immediately recognized him,

and ran through the whole of that region round about, and began to carry the sick on beds, wherever they heard that he was.

And whatever place he entered, whether villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his mantle: and as many as touched him were saved.

and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:

(for the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, unless they wash their hands carefully, because they hold the tradition of the elders:

and when they come from the market, they do not eat, unless they immerse themselves. And there are many other things, which they have received to hold, as the immersion of cups and pitchers and brazen vessels and beds:)

In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.

And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more earnestly they published it.

And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

And if I send them home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.

And he asked them: How many loaves have you? And they said: Seven.

And he commanded the multitude to recline on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before them: and they set them before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed, and commanded that they also be set before them.

And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets.

And the Pharisees came out, and began to put questions to him, asking of him a sign from heaven, that they might tempt him.

And they had forgotten to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.

And they reasoned with one an other, saying: It is because we have no bread.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to him: Twelve.

When I broke the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They replied: Seven.

And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought to him a blind man, and besought him to touch him.

They answered: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.
