And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

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

And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee.

And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for, for this purpose have I come.

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

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?

And he went forth again by the sea-side; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

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.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners.

And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath that which is not lawful?

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?

And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the demons he casteth out demons.

And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

And the multitude sat about him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And he looked around on them who sat about him, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!

And he began again to teach by the sea-side: and there was gathered to him a great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea, on the land.

And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,

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 he said to them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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 he said to them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all 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 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?

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear: With the measure which ye give, it shall be measured to you: and to you that hear shall more be given.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

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.

And the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us pass over to the other side.

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still: and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

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

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And they came over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

(For he said to him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.)

And when Jesus had passed over again in a boat to the other side, much people gathered to him: and he was nigh to the sea.

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the throng, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be healed of thy infirmity.

While he was yet speaking, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cumi: which is, being interpreted, Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

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

But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he hath risen from the dead.

For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? and she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And the king was exceeding sorry: yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.

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 when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.

And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

He answered and said to them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

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:

And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you, and understand.

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.

And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crums.

And he said to her, For this saying, depart; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

And he left them, and entering into the boat again, departed to the other side.

And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand?

And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees walking.

And when he had called the people to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

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 Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;

And he asked his father, How long is it since this came to him? and he said, From a child.

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

And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.

And the spirit cried, and rent him severely, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead.

And he said to them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and after that he is killed, he will rise the third day.

And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,

But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judea, by the further side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again.

And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?

And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

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

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good, but one, that is God.

And he answered and said to him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
