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

He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

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

They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn't allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

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

He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

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 into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"

He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.

Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."

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

Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

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

At once Jesus gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea.

They came to Jesus, and saw him who had been possessed by demons sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and they were afraid.

They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement.

When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.

They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.

He said to them, "You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

They all ate, and were filled.

Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I! Don't be afraid."

He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;

for they hadn't understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.

Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.

Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!"

They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.

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

For he didn't know what to say, for they were very afraid.

As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."

But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, "Why has this ointment been wasted?

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

As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me -- he who eats with me."

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body."

He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.

Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!"

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

There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.

They were saying among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"

Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were amazed.

They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
