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

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons 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 what is not lawful?

And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need and hungered, he and those with him,

And he said to them, The sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the sabbath;

And his relatives having heard of it went out to lay hold on him, for they said, He is out of his mind.

And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.

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

because they said, he has an unclean spirit.

And a crowd sat around him. And they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek thee without.

And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

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

And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

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

And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? Is it not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?

And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be more added to you.

And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,

and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.

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

As to a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,

And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:

And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, Why are ye thus fearful? how is it ye have not faith?

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

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

For he said to him, Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.

And Jesus having passed over in the ship again to the other side, a great crowd gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

for she said, If I shall touch but his clothes I shall be healed.

And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?

And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd pressing on thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge.

And others said, It is Elias; and others said, It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

But Herod when he heard it said, John whom I beheaded, he it is; he is risen from among the dead.

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

And he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.

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

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before to the other side to Bethsaida, while he sends the crowd away.

But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves to keep.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand:

And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

But Jesus said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, 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 crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke them and gave them to his disciples, that they might set them before them; and they set them before the crowd.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before them.

And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.

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

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

And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see them, as trees, walking.

And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power.

And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:

And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is if thou couldst believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

And immediately the father of the young child crying out said with tears, I believe, help mine unbelief.

And having cried out and torn him much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.

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

for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.

And taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,

But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon after to speak ill of me;

And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

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

And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.

And Jesus answering said to them, In view of your hard-heartedness he wrote this commandment for you;

But Jesus seeing it, was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, that is God.

And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

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

But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?

And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which I drink, or be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink ye will drink and with the baptism that I am baptised with ye will be baptised,

but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared.

And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind man, sat by the wayside begging.

And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.

And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.

and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no child of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it here.

And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?

And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them do it.

And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;

And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it.

And Peter, remembering what Jesus had said, says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.

And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.

Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see it.
