And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; And they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.

And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.

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

And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

And they were astonished at his teaching: For he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

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 straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.

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

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;

and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.

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

And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four.

And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

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

And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

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

And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.

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

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

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

And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:

for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.

And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

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

And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him.

And he appointed twelve, that they might 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 when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him.

And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

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

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

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them.

And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places , who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble.

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;

And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not 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 they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

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

And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.

And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.

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

And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.

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

And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.

While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house'saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?

And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.

And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.

And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;

And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

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 when his disciples heard thereof , they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.

And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.

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

And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.

But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings worth of bread, and give them to eat?

And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and'see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And they all ate, and were filled.

And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.

And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;

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

And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.

And when they were come out of the boat, straightway the people knew him,

and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

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

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

and when they come from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

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

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.

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,

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