And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, con fessing their sins.

And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, throwing a net about in the sea; for they were fishers.

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

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

And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.

And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.

But some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts:

And he arose forthwith, and took up his bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen it thus.

And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.

And he said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him?

How he entered the house of God in the days of Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of the presence, which, it is not lawful, except for the priests, to eat, and gave to those also who were with him?

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

and the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread.

And he looked round about on those who were sitting near him, and said: Behold, my mother and my brothers;

And when he was alone, those who were about him, with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.

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

And when they had sent the multitude away, they took him with them, as he was in the ship; and there were other little ships with him.

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the swine; and the herd (they were about two thousand,) rushed down a steep place into the sea, and were strangled in the sea.

and they came to Jesus and saw the demoniac, who had had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what things Jesus had done for him. And all were astonished.

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 derided him. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and mother of the child, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

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

And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said: Whence has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty deeds are done by his hands?

and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and cured them.

And he said to them: Come yourselves privately into a desert place, and rest awhile. For there were many coming and going, and they had not leisure even to eat.

And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep that had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And they all ate, and were satisfied;

And those who ate of the loaves were about five thousand men.

for they all saw him, and were troubled. And he immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the ship; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered;

And whatever place he entered, whether villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his mantle: and as many as touched him were saved.

And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.

And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets.

And those who had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

And there appeared to them Elijah, with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

For he knew not what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, till the Son of man should rise from the dead.

And at once, all the multitude, on seeing him, were struck with awe, and ran to him and saluted him.

And wherever it seizes him, it throws him into convulsions; and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to your disciples to cast him out, and they were not able.

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why were we not able to cast it out?

But they did not understand this saying, and they were afraid to question him.

And he came into Capernaum; and when he was in the house, he asked them: What were you disputing about among yourselves along the road?

But they were silent. For they had been disputing with one another along the road which was greatest.

And whoever will ensnare one of these little ones that believe on me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And his disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

And they were astonished beyond measure, and said among themselves: Who, then, can be saved?

And they were in the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what was about to befall him.

And some of those who were standing there, said to them: Why are you loosing the colt?

And some of them were displeased within themselves, and said: For what purpose was this waste of the ointment?

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him up.

And while they were reclining at table, and were eating, Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, One of you, he that eats with me, will deliver me up.

And while they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.

And he went forward a little, and fell upon the ground, and prayed, that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him;

And he returned, and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.

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 led Jesus away to the chief priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.

and when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said: You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.

Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. Those also who were crucified with him, reproached him.

And there were, at a distance, women also, looking on; among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome;

And they entered the sepulcher, and saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe: and they were frightened.

And they went out, and fled from the sepulcher; for trembling and astonishment seized upon them. And they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
