And all the land of Jewry, and they of Jerusalem went out unto him, and were all baptised of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

As he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishers.

And they straightway forsook their nets, and followed him.

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship mending their nets.

And anon he called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants, and went their way after him.

And they entered into Capernaum, and straightway on the Sabbath days he entered into the synagogue and taught.

And they marveled at his learning. For he taught them as one that had power with him, and not as the scribes did.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they demanded one of another among themselves, saying, "What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For he commandeth the foul spirits with power, and they obey him."

And forthwith, as soon as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.

And Simon's mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and anon they told him of her.

And at even, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils,

and he healed many that were sick of divers diseases. And he cast out many devils; and suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.

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

And when they had found him, they said unto him, "All men seek for thee."

But he, as soon as he was departed, began to tell many things and to publish the deed, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

and because they could not come nigh unto him for press, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, he said unto them, "Why think ye such things in your hearts?

And by and by he arose, 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 when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?"

And Jesus said unto them, "Can the children of a wedding 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 from them and then shall they fast in those days.

And it chanced that he went through the corn fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, as they went on their way, began to pluck the ears of corn.

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

And he said to them, "Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was a hungered both he and they that were with him?

and they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

And he said to them, "Whether is it lawful? To do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or an evil? To save a man's life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.

And the Pharisees departed, and straightway gathered a counsel, with them that belonged to Herod, against him: that they might destroy him.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan: and they that dwelled about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude: which when they had heard what things he did, came unto him.

And he commanded his disciples, that a ship should wait on him, because of the people, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many, insomuch that they pressed upon him, for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And when the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him, and cried saying, "Thou art the son of God."

And he straightly charged them that they should not utter him.

And he went up into a mountain, and called unto him whom he would, and they came unto him.

And he ordained the twelve that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.

And that they might have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils.

And they came unto house, and the people assembled together again, so greatly that they had not leisure so much as to eat bread.

And when they that longed unto him heard of it, they went out to hold him. For they said, "He is too fervent."

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto men's children: and blasphemy, wherewith they blaspheme:

Because they said, "He had an unclean spirit."

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

that when they see, they shall see, and not discern: and when they hear they shall hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should turn, and their sins should be forgiven them."

And they that are by the wayside, where the word is sown, are they to whom as soon as they have heard it, cometh immediately Satan and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And likewise, they that are sown on the stony ground: which when they have heard the word, at once they receive it with gladness;

yet have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: and anon, as soon as any trouble and persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they fall.

And these are they that are sown among the thorns; which are such as hear the word of God,

And those that were sown in good ground, are they that hear the word and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold some sixty fold, some a hundred fold."

And with many such similitudes he preached the word unto them, after as they might hear it.

And without similitude spake he nothing unto them. But when they were apart, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And they left the people, and took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other ships.

And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What fellow is this? For both wind and sea obey him."

And they came over to the other side of the sea into the country of the Gaderenes.

And anon Jesus gave them leave; And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine. And the herd startled, and ran headlong into the sea. They were about two thousand swine, and they were drowned in the sea.

And the swine herders fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came out for to see, what had happened;

And they came out to Jesus, and they saw him that was vexed with the fiend, and had the legion, sit: both clothed and in his right mind; and were afraid.

And they that saw it told them, how it had happened unto him that was possessed with the devil: and also of the swine.

And they began to pray him, that he would depart from their coasts.

And they laughed him to scorn. Then he put them all out, and took the father and the mother of the maiden, and them that were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay;

And straight the maiden arose, and went on her feet. For she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished at it out of measure.

Is not this that carpenter: Mary's son, the brother of James, and Joseph and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by the reason of him.

And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their Journey, save a rod only: Neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses:

but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats.

And they went out and preached, that they should repent:

and they cast out many devils. And they anointed many that were sick with oil and healed them.

And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in a tomb.

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

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

But the people spied them when they departed: and many knew him, and they ran afoot thither out of all cities, and came thither before them; And came together unto him.

And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

let them depart, that they may go into the country round about, and into the towns, and buy them bread: for they have nothing to eat."

He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said unto him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"

He said unto them, "How many loaves have ye? Go and look." And when they had searched, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

And they sat down: here a row, and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties.

And they all did eat, and were satisfied.

And they took up twelve baskets full of the gobbets and of the fishes.

And they that ate were about five thousand men.

When they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

For they all saw him, and were afraid. And anon he talked with them, and said unto them, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."

And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

For they remembered not of the loaves, because their hearts were blinded.

And they came over, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and drew up into the haven.

And as soon as they were come out of the ship, straight they knew him,

and ran forth throughout all the region round about, and began to carry about in beds all that were sick, to place where they heard tell that he was there.

And whithersoever he entered into the towns, or cities, or villages, they laid their sick in the streets, and prayed him, that they might touch and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe.

And when they saw certain of his disciples eat bread with common hands, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they complained.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not; observing the traditions of the elders.

And when they come from the market, except they wash themselves they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have taken upon them to observe, as the washing of cups and cruses, and of brazen vessels, and of tables.

In vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but the commandments of men,

And they brought unto him one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech, and prayed him to lay his hand upon him.

And he commanded them that they should tell no man. But the more he forbade them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

"I have compassion on this people, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

And if I should send them away fasting to their own houses, they should faint by the way. For divers of them came from far."

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

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, gave thanks, brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them. And they did set them before the people.

And they had a few small fishes. And he blessed them and commanded them also to be set before them.

And they ate and were sufficed, and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

And they that ate were in number about four thousand. And he sent them away.

And they had forgotten to take bread with them, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

And they reasoned among themselves saying, "We have no bread."
