And Jesus said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men."

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

And he said unto them, "Let us go in to the next towns, that I may preach there also: for truly I came out for that purpose.

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said unto him, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."

And Jesus had compassion on him, and put forth his hand, touched him, and said unto him, "I will, be thou clean."

and said unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them."

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

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, he said unto them, "Why think ye such things in your hearts?

And as Jesus passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sit at the receipt of custom and said unto him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat at meat also with Jesus and his disciples. For there were many that followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole have no need of the Physician: but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?"

And Jesus said unto them, "Can the children of a wedding fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

And the Pharisees said unto him, "Behold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?"

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

And he said to them, "The Sabbath day was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath day.

And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, "Arise and stand in the midst."

And he said to them, "Whether is it lawful? To do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or an evil? To save a man's life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.

And he looked round about on them, angrily mourning on the blindness of their hearts. And said to the man, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it out: And his hand was restored, even as whole as the other.

And when they that longed unto him heard of it, they went out to hold him. For they said, "He is too fervent."

And the scribes, which came from Jerusalem, said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the power of the chief devil, casteth out devils."

And he called them unto him, and in similitudes said unto them, "How can Satan drive out Satan?

Because they said, "He had an unclean spirit."

And the people sat about him, and said unto him, "Behold, thy mother and thy brethren seek for thee without."

And he looked round about on his disciples, which sat in compass about him, and said, "Behold, my mother, and my brethren:

And he began again to teach by the seaside. And there gathered together unto him much people, so greatly that he entered in to a ship, and sat in the sea, and all the people was by the seaside on the shore:

And he taught them many things in similitudes, and said unto them in his doctrine,

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

And he said unto them, "To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, shall all things be done in similitudes:

And he said unto them, "Perceive ye not this similitude? How then should ye understand all other similitudes?

And he said unto them, "Is the candle lighted, to be put under a bushel, or under the table? And is it not, rather, lighted to be put on a candlestick?

And he said unto them, "Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured unto you again. And unto you that hear, shall more be given.

And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, even as if a man should sow seed in the ground,

and should sleep and rise up night and day: and the seed should spring, and grow up while he is not aware.

And he said, "Whereunto 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 the least of all seeds that be in the earth:

And the same day, when even was come, he said unto them, "Let us pass over unto the other side."

And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"

And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

and he said unto them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?"

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, "What fellow is this? For both wind and sea obey him."

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

and cried with a loud voice and said, "What have I to do with thee, Jesus the son of the most highest God? I require thee in the name of God, that thou torment me not."

For he had said unto him, "Come forth out of the man thou foul spirit."

And they came out to Jesus, and they saw him that was vexed with the fiend, and had the legion, sit: both clothed and in his right mind; and were afraid.

Howbeit, Jesus would not suffer him but said unto him, "Go home into thine own house and to thy friends, and show them what great things the Lord hath done unto thee, and how he had compassion on thee."

And when Jesus was come over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

And Jesus immediately felt, in himself, the virtue that went out of him, and turned him round about in the press, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

And his disciples said unto him, "Thou seest the people thrusting thee on every side, and yet askest, 'Who did touch me?'"

And he said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain which said, "Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?"

As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe."

And he went in and said unto them, "Why make ye this ado and weep? The maiden is not dead, but sleepeth."

And took the maiden by the hand, and said unto her, "Talitha, cumi," which is by interpretation, "maiden I say unto thee, arise."

And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said, "From whence hath he these things? And what wisdom is this that is given unto him? And such virtues that are wrought by his hands?

And Jesus said unto them, "A prophet is not despised but in his own country, and among his own kin, and among them that are of the same household."

And he marveled at their unbelief. And he went about by the towns that lay on every side, teaching.

And he said unto them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

And king Herod heard of him, for his name was spread abroad; And he said, "John Baptist is risen again from death, and therefore miracles are wrought by him."

Others said, "It is Elijah." And some said, "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 is risen from death again."

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

And the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat at board also. Then the king said unto the maiden, "Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee."

And she went forth and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "John Baptist's head."

And the king was sorry. Yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat at supper also, he would not put her beside her purpose.

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

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

He said unto them, "How many loaves have ye? Go and look." And when they had searched, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

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

And they sat down: here a row, and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties.

For they all saw him, and were afraid. And anon he talked with them, and said unto them, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."

He answered and said unto them, "Well prophesied hath Isaiah of you hypocrites as it is written, 'This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.'

And he said unto them, "Well, ye cast aside the commandment of God, to maintain your own traditions.

For Moses said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother,' and, 'Whosoever curseth father or mother, let him die for it.'

And he called all the people unto him, and said unto them, "Hearken unto me every one of you and understand:

and he said unto them, "Are ye so without understanding? Do ye not yet perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into a man, it cannot defile him,

And he said, "That defileth a man which cometh out of a man.

And Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be fed. For it is not meet, to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto whelps."

She answered and said unto him, "Even so, Master. Nevertheless, the whelps also eat under the table of the children's crumbs."

And he said unto her, "For this saying, go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter."

and looked up to heaven and sighted, and said unto him, "Ephphatha," that is to say, "Be opened."

In those days when there was a very great company, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said unto them,

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

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

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

and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."

And when Jesus knew that, he said unto them, "Why take ye thought because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your hearts yet blinded?

When I brake five loaves among five thousand men: How many baskets full of broken meat took ye up?" They said unto him, "Twelve."

"When I brake seven among four thousand how many baskets of the leavings of broken meat took ye up?" They said, "Seven."

And he said unto them, "How is it that ye understand not?"

And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees."

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

And he said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" Peter answered and said unto him, "Thou art very Christ."

And he called the people unto him, with his disciples also, and said unto them, "Whosoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Master, here is good being for us, let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

And wist not what he said, for they were afraid.

He answered and said unto them, "Elijah verily shall first come and restore all things. Also the son of man, as it is written, shall suffer many things, and shall be set at nought.

And he said unto the scribes, "What dispute ye with them?"
