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 there went out to him all the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.

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 [when] Jesus heard [it], he said to them, "Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those {who are sick}. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples 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 never read what David did when he had need and he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also 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 from beyond the Jordan: and those about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard what things he was doing, came to him.

For he had healed many, so that all those who {were suffering from diseases} pressed about him in order that they could touch 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 on the mountain and summoned [those] whom he wanted, and they came to him.

When His own family heard this they went to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He is out of His mind.”

And looking around at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.

And he said to them, "To you has been granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is in parables,

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

The ones along the path are those who have the message sown in their hearts, but as soon as it is sown there, Satan comes and carries off the message that has been sown in their hearts.

And like the sowing upon 'stony ground' are those who, whenever they hear the Word, at once receive it with joy,

A different class are those people sown among the thorns. They are people who listen to the message,

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 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] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about 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 began laughing at him. But he sent [them] all out [and] took along the father and mother of the child, and those [who were] with him, and went in to where the child was.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

And the king, while made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with him would not break his word with 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 ate the loaves were five thousand men.

They ran about [through] that whole region and began to carry around those {who were sick} on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.

And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.

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 without a man that can defile him when it entereth into him, but those things which proceed out of him are those which defile the man.

"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 when there was a very great company, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said unto them,

and those eating were about four thousand. And he let 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 turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those 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 children to him that he should touch them. And his 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 looked around [and] said to his disciples, "How {difficult it is for} those who possess wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"

And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter 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.

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

but to sit at my right hand or at [my] left is not mine to grant, but [is] for those for whom it has been prepared."

And Jesus called them to himself [and] said to them, "You know that those who are considered to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their [people] in high positions exercise authority over them.

And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

and both those in front and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed be he who comes in the Lord's name!

Then they came to Jerusalem, and entering the temple he proceeded to drive out those who were buying and selling inside the temple; he upset the tables of the money-changers and the stalls of those who sold doves,

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 vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and give his 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,

They are those devouring the houses of widows, and making long prayers through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.

And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly do I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury.

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 that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee 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.

But alas for those who are with child, and for those who give suck in those days.

For those days will be a time of distress, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, nor shall be.

And unless the Lord had made those days few, no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen, he has made those days few.

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 affliction, the sun will be darkened, 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.

And one of those who were standing by, drew a sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut 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.
