And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.

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 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.

But the mother of Simon's wife lay sick with a fever; and forthwith they tell him of her.

And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

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.

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?

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?

I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

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 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 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 the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, used to fast: and they come, and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse him.

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea.

For he had healed many; so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had diseases.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.

Verily I say to you, All sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and any blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme:

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.

Hearken; Behold, a sower went out to sow:

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

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

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 there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

And he was in the hinder part of the boat, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

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.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,

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 that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

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 that saw it told them how it befell him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

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.

And behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

And he looked around, to see her that had done this thing.

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 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.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

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

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 the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came together to him.

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.

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?

He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And when evening was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.

And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out.

(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 when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled (that is to say with unwashed) hands, they found fault.

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 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.

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 again, departing from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them; so much the more a great deal they published it;

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

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

When I divided the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.

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

After that, he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets,

And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ.

For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

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 his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.

For he knew not what to say: for they were greatly terrified.

And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

But I say to you, that Elijah is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they pleased, as it is written concerning him.

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

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 John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

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.

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

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.

Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, he shall not enter it.

Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

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

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And if any man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him hither.

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

For verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he saith.
