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

Now as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into 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 boat mending their nets.

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

And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.

And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.

And forthwith many were assembled, so that there was no room to receive them, no not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them.

And when they could not come nigh to him by reason of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the sick with the palsy lay.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick with the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

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

And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

Which is easier, to say to the sick with the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

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

When Jesus heard it, he saith to them, They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests, and gave also to them who were with him?

And he saith to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? but they held their peace.

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

And it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it.

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.

And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked of him the parable.

And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

And these are they by the way-side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And these are they likewise who are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they relapse.

And these are they who are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

And these are they who are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred.

And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a close vessel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

For the earth bringeth forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.

But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shade.

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

But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the boat. And there were also with him other small boats.

And he said to them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And forthwith the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

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

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

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

Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

And they all ate, and were satisfied.

And they that ate of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

(For they all saw him, and were troubled.) And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid.

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

And ran through that whole region around, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him, were healed.

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there are, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brazen vessels, and tables.

And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition,

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoever curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother;

Making the word of God of no effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him.

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

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.

And when Jesus knew it, he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

And he said to them, Verily I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

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 terrified.

And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, saluted him.

Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

For he that is not against us, is on our part.

And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me, to fall into sin, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

And Jesus answered and said to them, For the hardness of your heart, he wrote you this precept.

And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

And Jesus looking upon them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Jesus answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to him,

But Jesus called them, and saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

But so it shall not be among you: but whoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

Blessed be the kingdom of our Father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
