And walking along beside the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

And immediately He called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and went after Him.

And they went into Capernaum. And immediately on the sabbath day He entered into the synagogue and taught.

And they were astonished at His doctrine. For He taught them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.

They all were amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What new doctrine is this? For He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.

And immediately after they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and at once they told Him about her.

And at evening, when the sun set, they brought all those who were diseased to Him, and those who had been demon-possessed.

And He healed many who were sick of different diseases, and cast out many demons. And He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

And finding Him, they said to Him, All are seeking You.

But going out, he began to proclaim it very much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in deserted places. And they came to Him from every quarter.

Then they came to Him, bringing one who was paralyzed, who was carried by four.

When they could not come near to Him because of the crowd, they unroofed the roof where He was. And digging through, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.

And instantly knowing in His spirit that they reasoned so within themselves, He said to them, Why do you reason these things in your heart?

And it happened as Jesus reclined in his house, many tax-collectors and sinners also reclined with Jesus and His disciples. For there were many, and they followed Him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with tax-collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, How is it that He eats and drinks with tax-collectors and sinners?

When Jesus heard, He said to them, They who are strong have no need of a physician, but the ones who have illness. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they came and said to Him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?

And Jesus said to 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 they shall fast in those days.

And it happened that He went through the grainfields on the sabbath day. And as they walked His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

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

And they watched Him to see if He would heal him on the sabbath day, so that they might accuse Him.

And He said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

And He spoke to His disciples, so that a small boat should stay near to Him, because of the crowd, lest they should press on Him.

For He had healed many, so that they pressed on Him in order to touch Him, as many as had plagues.

And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried, saying, You are 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 near those whom He would. And they came to Him.

And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them out to proclaim,

and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And they went into a house.

And again a crowd came together, so that they could not even eat bread.

And hearing, those with Him went out to take hold of Him; for they said, He is insane.

Truly I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme.

Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

Then His brothers and His mother came. And standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him.

And the crowd sat about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking for You.

And when He was alone, they who were about Him, with the Twelve, asked Him concerning the parable.

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

And these are those by the wayside, where the Word is sown. And when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.

And these are those likewise being sown on stony places; who, when they hear the Word, immediately receive it with gladness.

But they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward when affliction or persecution arises for the Word's sake, they are immediately offended.

And with many such parables He spoke the Word to them, as they were able to hear it.

But he did not speak to them without a parable. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

And when they had sent away the crowd, they took Him with them as He was in the boat. And there were also other little boats with Him.

And He was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a headrest. And they awakened Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we perish?

And they feared exceedingly and said to one another, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?

And they came over to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes.

And immediately Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the pigs. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

And the ones who fed the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And they came to Jesus and saw him who had been demon-possessed, and had the legion, sitting and clothed and right-minded, the one who had the legion. And they were afraid.

And they began to beg Him to leave their borders.

While He still spoke, they came from the synagogue ruler's house, saying, Your daughter is dead; why do you still trouble the Teacher?

And they laughed at Him. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.

And instantly the little girl arose and walked (for she was twelve years old). And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

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 offended at Him.

and commanded them that they take nothing in the way, except only a staff; no bag, no bread, no copper in the belt,

And they went out and proclaimed that men should repent.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed many who were sick with oil, and healed them.

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

And the apostles gathered themselves to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And He said to them, Come aside into a deserted place and rest a little. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And they departed by boat into a deserted place.

And the crowds saw them leaving, and many knew Him. And they ran together on foot there, out of the cities. And they went before them and came together to Him.

And going out Jesus saw a large crowd. And He was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

Send them away so that they may go to the surrounding fields and villages and buy loaves for themselves. For they have nothing to eat.

He answered and said to them, You give them food to eat. And they said to Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii of loaves and give them to eat?

He said to them, How many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fish.

And they reclined group by group, by hundred and by fifty.

And they all ate and were filled.

And they took up twelve hand baskets full of fragments, also from the fish.

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a phantom, and cried out.

For they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them, and said, Be of good cheer. I AM! Do not be afraid.

And He went up into the boat to them. And the wind was cut off. And they were very much amazed within themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

For they did not understand the miracle of the loaves, for their hearts were hardened.

And crossing over, they came into the land of Gennesaret and drew to the shore.

And when they had come out of the boat, at once knowing Him,

they ran all around that neighborhood, and began to carry on cots those who were sick, wherever they heard He was.

And wherever He entered, into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the streets and begged Him if only they might touch but the fringe of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made whole.

And when they saw some of His disciples eating loaves with unclean hands, that is with unwashed hands, they found fault.

For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they immerse their hands with the fist, holding the tradition of the elders.

And coming from the market, they do not eat without immersing, and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dippings of cups and pots, and of copper vessels, and of tables.

However, they worship Me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

And they brought a deaf one to Him, hardly speaking. And they begged Him to put His hand on him.

And He commanded them, that they should tell no one. But the more He commanded them, so much the more they proclaimed it.

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

I have compassion on the crowd because they have now been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint in the way. For many of them come from afar.

And He asked them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven.

And He commanded the people to recline on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, and He broke and gave to His disciples to set before them. And they set them before the people.

And they had a few fish. And He blessed and commanded them to also serve these.

So they ate and were filled. And they took up over and above seven lunch baskets of fragments.

And they who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away.

And the disciples had forgotten to take loaves, and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no loaves.

When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many hand baskets full of fragments did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.

And when the seven among four thousand, how many lunch baskets full of fragments did you take up? And they said, Seven.

And He came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.
