and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;

And, passing by near 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, leaving the nets, they followed him.

and, straightway, he called them, - and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.

And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;

and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, - for he was teaching them as one having authority, and, not as the Scribes.

and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying - What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him!

Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;

And, evening arriving, when the sun went in, they were bearing unto him all who were sick, and them who were demonized;

and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, - because they knew him to be Christ.

and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,

But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, - but, outside, in desert places, was he, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

and they come, bearing unto him a paralytic, upborne by four, -

and, not being able to get near him by reason of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they began letting down the couch whereon the paralytic was lying;

And it cometh to pass, that he is reclining in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they began following him.

And, hearing it, Jesus saith unto them - No need, have the strong of a physician, but they who are sick, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say unto him - For what cause, do, the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?

And Jesus said unto them - Is it possible for the sons of the bridechamber, while the bridegroom is with them, to be fasting? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, it is impossible, to fast.

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

And, the Pharisees, were saying, - See! why are they doing, on the Sabbath, what is not allowed?

And he saith unto them - Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, - he, and they who were with him:

and they were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he would cure him, that they might accuse him.

and saith unto them - Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good, or to do evil? To, save, life, or, to slay? but they remained silent.

And, the Pharisees, going out straightway with the Herodians, were giving counsel against him, that they should, destroy, him.

And he spake unto his disciples that a little boat might attend him, because of the multitude, - that they might not be pressing upon him.

For he cured many, so that they were besieging him, that they might touch him - as many as had plagues;

and the impure spirits, as soon as they beheld him, were falling down to him, and crying aloud, while he was speaking, Thou, art the Son of God!

and sternly was he rebuking them, lest they should make him manifest.

And he goeth up into the mountain and calleth near whom, he, pleased, - and they went away unto him;

and he appointed a twelve, whom also he named, Apostles, - that they might be with him, and that he might be sending them forth to make proclamation,

and the multitude come together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And they who were near to him, hearing of it, went out to secure him, - for they were saying - He is beside himself!

Verily, I say unto you - All things shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, - the sins and the profanities wherewithal they shall profane;

because they were saying - An impure spirit, he hath!

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 when he was alone they who were about him with the twelve questioned him as to the parables;

They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.

And these are they beside the pathway where the word is sown, - and, as soon as they hear, straightway, cometh Satan, and snatcheth away the word which hath been sown into them;

And these are likewise they upon the rocky places sown, - who, as soon as they hear the word, straightway, with joy receive it,

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;

And others are they who among thorns are sown, - these are they who hear the word,

And those yonder are they who on the good ground are sown, - who, indeed, hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit - thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.

And, with many such parables as these, was he speaking unto them the word, - according as they were able to hear;

and, dismissing the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat, and, other boats, were with him.

And he was in the stern, on the cushion, sleeping. And they arouse him, and say unto him, Teacher! carest thou not that we perish?

And they were caused to fear a great fear, and were saying one to another - Who then is, this, that, both the wind and the sea, give ear unto him?

And they came unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

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

And, they who had been feeding them, fled, and bare tidings into the city and into the fields, - and they came to see what it was that had happened.

And they come unto Jesus, and view the demonized man, clothed and of sound mind, him who had had the legion, - and they were struck with fear.

And they began to beseech him, to depart from their bounds.

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

While yet he is speaking, they come from the synagogue-ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead! Why, further, annoy the teacher?

And they come into the house of the synagogue-ruler, and he observeth a tumult, and persons weeping and wailing greatly;

and they were deriding him. But, he, thrusting all forth, taketh with him the father of the child, and the mother, and them who were with him, - and entereth where the child was;

And, straightway, the damsel arose, and was walking about; for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with a great transport;

And, when it was Sabbath, he began to be teaching in the synagogue, and, the greater part, as they heard, were being struck with astonishment, saying - Whence hath this man these things? - and - What the wisdom which hath been given to this man? - and - Such mighty works as these, through his hands, are coming to pass!

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

and charged them that they should take, nothing, for a journey, save a staff only, - no bread, no satchel, no copper, for the belt;

And they went forth and made proclamation, in order that men should repent;

and, many demons, were they casting out, - and were anointing with oil, many sick, and were curing them.

And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.

And he saith unto them - Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.

And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.

And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, - and outwent them.

And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.

dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.

But, he, answering said to them - Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him - Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give them to eat?

And, he, saith unto them - How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say - Five, and, two fishes.

And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.

And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.

And they did all eat, and were filled.

And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.

And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.

But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud;

And he went up unto them, into the boat, - and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished;

for they understood not by the loaves, - but their, heart, had been, hardened.

And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near.

And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,

the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.

And, wheresoever he was entering into villages, or into cities, or into hamlets, in the marketplaces, laid they the sick, and were beseeching him, that, only the fringe of his mantle, they might touch, and, as many soever as touched it, were being made well.

and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, - -

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

and coming from market, unless they sprinkle themselves, they eat not, - and, many other things, there are, which they have accepted to hold fast - immersions of cups and measures and copper vessels - -

But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;

And they bring to him one deaf and stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.

And he charged them that they should be telling, no one, - but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.

And, superabundantly, were they being struck with astonishment, saying - Well, hath he, all things, done, - both, the deaf, he causeth to hear, and, the dumb, to speak.

In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them -

I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;

and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, - and, certain of them, are, from afar.

And he was questioning them - How many loaves have ye? and they said - Seven.

And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.

And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.

Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.

And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.

And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.

when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him - Twelve, -
