And they enter Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he was teaching in the synagogue.

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

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned each other, saying, What is this? New teaching with authority; even the unclean spirits doth he command, and they obey him!

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

And Simons wifes mother lay sick of a fever; and they immediately speak to him about her.

And in the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed by demons;

And they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.

And not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.

And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus in your hearts?

And he arose, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.

And when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And it came to pass, that he was going through the grainfields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, to pluck the ears of grain.

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

And he saith to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, himself and they who were with him?

and they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

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

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond the Jordan, and the people about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what great things he was doing, came to him.

And he gave direction to his disciples, that a boat should be in readiness for him because of the multitude, that they might not throng him.

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

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

And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth to him whom he would; and they came to him.

And again a multitude cometh together, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And his relations hearing of it went out to lay hold of him; for they said, He is beside himself.

Truly do I say to you, All sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme;

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say to him, Lo! thy mother and thy brothers and thy sisters are without, seeking for thee.

And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth.

And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.

hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.

And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.

And these in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy,

and have no root in themselves, but endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.

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

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

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

And they came to the other side of the lake, into the country of the Gerasenes.

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

And they that fed them fled, and told the news in the city and in the country. And they came to see what had been done.

And they come to Jesus, and see him who had been possessed by demons, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind,him who had had the legion; and they were afraid.

And they who saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed by the demons, and concerning the swine.

And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders.

And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing greatly.

And they laughed him to scorn. But putting them all out, he taketh the father of the child, and the mother, and those who were with him, and entereth where the child was.

And immediately the damsel arose and walked; for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were greatly astonished.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And most people when they heard him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? And what is the wisdom which is given him? And how is it that such miracles are wrought by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judah, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they took offence at him.

and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way but a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their girdle;

And when he came forth, he saw a great multitude, and 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 surrounding fields and villages, and buy themselves something to eat.

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

He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And they lay down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And they all ate, and were filled.

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

And they who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

but they, seeing him walking upon the lake, thought it was a spectre, and cried out.

For they all saw him, and were terrified. But he immediately spoke with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly astonished, beyond measure.

For they did not consider the matter of the loaves; but their heart was hardened.

And crossing over, they came to land, to Gennesaret; and anchored there.

And when they had come out of the boat, the people immediately knowing who he was,

ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those that were sick to the place where they heard he was.

And wherever he entered into villages or cities or the open country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

(for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast the tradition of the elders;

and on coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups, and pitchers, and brazen vessels;)

But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.

And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.

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

And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.

And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.

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