and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'

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

And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, 'Why these things reason ye in your hearts?

And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, 'Why -- that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?'

And Jesus said to them, 'Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;

and the Pharisees said to him, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'

And he said to them, 'Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?

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

And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

and the scribes who are from Jerusalem having come down, said -- 'He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, 'How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary?

because they said, 'He hath an unclean spirit.'

and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'

And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching:

And he said to them, 'He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'

and he said to them, 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

And he said to them, 'Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch -- not that it may be put on the lamp-stand?

And he said to them, 'Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;

And he said, 'Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how;

And he said, 'To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, 'We may pass over to the other side;'

And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:

and he said to them, 'Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?'

and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

and having called with a loud voice, he said, 'What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

(for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

for she said -- 'If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?'

and his disciples said to him, 'Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, 'Who did touch me!'

and he said to her, 'Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

And Jesus said to them -- 'A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

And he said to them, 'Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- 'John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

Others said -- 'It is Elijah,' and others said -- 'It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

And Herod having heard, said -- 'He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

for John said to Herod -- 'It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, 'Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'

And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, 'The head of John the Baptist;'

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 he answering said to them, 'Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, 'Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'

and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

and he answering said to them -- 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;

And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, 'Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

And he said -- 'That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.'

And he said to her, 'Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'

And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'

And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before them;

And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'

And he said to them, 'How do ye not understand?'

and he, having looked up, said, 'I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'

And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, 'Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?

and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,

And Jesus said to him, 'If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'

and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

And he said to them, 'This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.'

for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'

and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'

And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,

And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?'

and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one is good except One -- God;

And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

And Jesus answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

and he said to them, 'What do ye wish me to do for you?'

and they said to him, 'Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'

and Jesus said to them, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?'

And they said to him, 'We are able;' and Jesus said to them, 'Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

And answering, Jesus saith to him, 'What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, 'Rabboni, that I may see again;'

and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

and saith to them, 'Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring it:

and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

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

And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;
