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

And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.

And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.

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

And they were struck with astonishment at his doctrine; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

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

But Simon's wife's mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.

But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.

and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.

and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.

But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.

And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four:

and not being able to come nigh him because of the crowd, they stripped off the roofing of the house where he was; and having broken a way through, they let down with ropes the couch, on which the paralytic lay.

And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts?

And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.

And it came to pass, as he sat at table in his house, many publicans also, and sinners, sat down with Jesus and his disciples; for they were numerous, and they followed him.

And when Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They who are in strong health have no need of a physician, but they who have illness: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees kept fasts; and they came and said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, fast? but thy disciples keep no fast.

And Jesus said to them, Can the children 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 shall they fast in those days.

And he was walking through the cornfields on the sabbath; and his disciples as they went on the road plucked the ears of corn.

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

And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he was under necessity, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him?

And they watched him if he would cure him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him.

And he saith to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do evil, to preserve life, or to kill? but they were silent.

And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him.

And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him:

for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases.

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

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

And he went up into a mountain, and called to him those whom he chose; and they came to him.

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they came into an house.

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

And when his relations heard it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, He is transported beyond all bounds.

Verily I say unto you, That all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies, whatsoever they may blaspheme:

Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit.

And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without are asking for thee.

But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.

That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.

Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts:

and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it;

and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [professors]: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

And sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him.

and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing?

And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man 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 Gadarenes.

And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea.

Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid.

And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine.

And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts.

And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him.

And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the master any further?

And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings.

And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out.

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

And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many when they heard him were amazed, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him, that even such miracles are done by his hands?

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 were offended at him.

And he commanded them, that they should take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither scrip, nor bread, nor even brass money in their purse:

And going forth, they preached, that men should repent.

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and cured them.

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

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

And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and repose a little while: for there were multitudes coming and going, so that they had not even time to eat.

And they went into a desert place in a vessel privately.

And Jesus, when he landed, saw a vast multitude, and was moved with companion towards them, for they were as sheep having no shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.

But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat?

But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes.

and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide.

And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.

And they did all eat, and were filled:

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

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

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and screamed out:

for they all saw him, and were greatly agitated: and straitway he spoke to them, and said, Take courage, it is I, be not terrified.

And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder.

For they reflected not upon the loaves, for their heart was hardened.

And when they had passed over, they came to the land of Gennesareth, and went on shore.

And when they came out of the vessel, immediately perceiving him,

running through all parts of that country, they began to carry about on couches those who were afflicted with diseases, wherever they heard that he was.

And wherever they entered into villages or cities, or country places, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if but the fringe on his garment; and as many as touched it, were cured.

And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault.

For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

And coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, and couches.

Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men."

And they bring him a deaf man, who could scarcely articulate; and they entreat him to put his hand upon him.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad.

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

I have compassion on the multitude, for they have stayed with me already three days, and have nothing to eat:

and if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; for many of them came from a great distance.

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

And he commanded the multitude to recline in order on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks he brake them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the people; and they distributed them to the multitude.

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

And they did eat and were filled and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven baskets.

And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not with them in the vessel but a single loaf.
