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 walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.

and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.

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

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.

And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.

and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug it up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.

And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

And Jesus having heard it says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy 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 cannot fast.

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

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath what is not lawful?

And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

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

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

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and beyond the Jordan; and they of around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what things he did, came to him.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

For he healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

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

And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

And he goes up into the mountain, and calls whom he himself would, and they went to him.

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

and Judas Iscariote, who also delivered him up. And they come to the house.

And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

And his relatives having heard of it went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously;

because they said, he has an unclean spirit.

And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,

and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.

And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,

And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred fold.

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

and having sent away the crowd, they take him with them, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

And they feared with great fear, 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, to the country of the Gadarenes.

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

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

And they began to beg him to depart from their coasts.

While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further?

And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

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 commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;

And they went forth and preached that they should repent;

and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.

And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.

And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for 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 around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

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

And he says to 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 having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

And they all ate and were satisfied.

And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.

But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out.

And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered;

for they understood not through the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and made the shore.

they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.

And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.

(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

and on coming from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their teachings commandments of men.

And they bring to him a deaf man who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

And he charged them that they should speak to no one of it. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;

and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to him, he says to them,

I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke them and gave them to his disciples, that they might set them before them; and they set them before the crowd.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before them.

And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not any with them in the ship.

And they reasoned with one another, saying, It is because we have no bread.

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.

And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.

And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.

And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power.

And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
