John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

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

And it happened that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

And going on a little further, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and those in the ship mending the nets.

Now [when it] was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing to him all those {who were sick} and those who were demon-possessed.

and He healed many of those who were sick with various diseases and drove out many evil spirits. But He did not permit the evil spirits to tell people [who He was], because they knew who He was [i.e., the Christ].

And Simon and those [who were] with him searched diligently for him.

and said unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them."

And again He having come into Capernaum during those days; and it was heard that He was in the house.

When the scribes [belonging to the sect] of the Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with the sinners [including non-observant Jews] and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

And John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but the disciples with you do not fast?

But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them and then shall they fast in those days.

And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

then he looking with indignation at those about him, being concern'd at their disingenuous perverse temper, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, which he did, and his hand become sound.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and those from around Tyre and Sidon. A great crowd, when they heard what great things he did, came to him.

For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, those possessed fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

And when those with him heard it, they went out to grasp him, for they said, He is beside himself.

And looking round at those who were seated about him, he said, See, my mother and my brothers!

And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

"What the Sower sows is the Word. There are those 'on the wayside' where the Word is sown.

And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.

And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.

And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,

And those are the ones sown on the good soil, who hear the word and receive [it] and bear fruit--one thirty and one sixty and one a hundred [times as much]."

And he said to them, Watch what ye hear. By what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you, and to those who hear, it will be added to you.

For, to those who have, more will be given; while, from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."

and He did not say anything to them without [using] a parable; He did, however, explain everything privately to His own disciples.

The evil spirits begged Him, saying, "Send us into those [wild] hogs, so we can enter their bodies."

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

And Jesus, overhearing those words, saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.

And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who were weeping and wailing greatly.

And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And he said to them, "You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time." For those [who were] coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.

Many [people] saw them leaving, and recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the [surrounding] cities, and got there ahead of them.

And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

Jesus answered, to such hypocrites as you may well be applied those words of the prophet Esaias, "this people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

"For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon has gone out of your daughter."

And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

And those who ate were about four thousand, and he sent them away.

He sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, "Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation."

how many baskets of pieces you picked up when I broke the five loaves in pieces for those five thousand men?" They said to him, "Twelve."

And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power."

Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe.

but if any one shall cause the meanest of those, who believe in me, to transgress, it had been better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

For in hell the worm of those who are there will never die [i.e., their gnawing punishment will never cease] and the fire [there] will never go out.

Therefore, those whom God so joins together [in the marriage bond], no person must ever separate."

And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.

And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

Verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Take away thyself, and cast thyself into the sea'; and shall not waver in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he sayeth shall come to pass, whatsoever he sayeth shall be done to him.

And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

But those tenants seized his slave, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

Now what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come back and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.

and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"

[So], He is not God to those who are dead, but [He is] God to those who are alive. You are seriously mistaken."

David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.

And in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,

those who devour widows' houses, and praying long in pretence. These will receive greater condemnation.

And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

And when they may lead you forth, delivering you up, do not be solicitous what you may speak, nor meditate: but whatsoever may be given to you in that hour, speak this: for you are not those speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved.

But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:

And let him that is in the field, not turn back again unto those things which he left behind him, for to take his clothes with him.

And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.

For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

and if the Lord had not cut short those days, no flesh should have been saved; but on account of the elect whom he has chosen, he has cut short those days.

for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will provide signs and wonders in order to deceive, if [such a thing were] possible, even the elect [those God has chosen for Himself].

But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

And then He will send out the angels, and will gather together His elect [those He has chosen for Himself] from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

Some of those who were present said to one another indignantly: "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

But a certain one of those who were near took out his sword, and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

Some of those present began to spit at him, and to blindfold his eyes, and strike him, saying, as they did so, "Now play the Prophet!" and even the police-officers received him with blows.
