and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.

And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

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

and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'

And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.

And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying -- 'Never thus did we see.'

And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

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?'

how he went into the house of God, (at 'Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?'

and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

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

and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- 'Thou art the Son of God;'

And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,

and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,

and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;

and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, 'Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,

and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing them.

and he said to them, 'Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

and they did all eat, and were filled,

and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, 'Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it,

and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;

and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- 'Because we have no loaves.'

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

for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.

and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself -- 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'

And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,

but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'

and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?'

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

and Jesus answering said to it, 'No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing.

And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;

'There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;

therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,

And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself,

And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, 'For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.

and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, 'Where wilt thou, that, having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?'

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.'

and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding,

for many were bearing false testimony against him, and their testimonies were not alike.

And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony against him, saying --

and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, 'Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing.

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him,

and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, and he did not receive.

And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments, casting a lot upon them, what each may take;

And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead,

and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid.

and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.

And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid.
