And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

I indeed have baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

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

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.

And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region around Galilee.

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

And all the city was gathered at the door.

And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

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

And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.

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 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.

But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days.

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

And when he had looked around on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

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:

For whoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

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 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?

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.

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.

But without a parable he spoke not to them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him. And all men wondered.

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she will live.

And had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not relieved, but rather grew worse,

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

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

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 they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

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 he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom.

And she came in forthwith with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldst give me, immediately, in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

And the apostles assembled themselves to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

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

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 they all ate, and were satisfied.

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.

(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 ran through that whole region around, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

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,

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

Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all kinds of food.

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.

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.

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.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul:

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

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 immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, saluted him.

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

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.

Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its saltness, with what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

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

And Jesus looking upon them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

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

Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles;

And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit upon him, and will kill him: and the third day he will rise again.

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

And whoever of you will be the chief, shall be servant of all.

And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

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 Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round upon all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.

And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called by all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

But if we shall say, from men; they feared the people: for all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.

But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury.

For all they cast in of their abundance: but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and will deceive many.

And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end will not be yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in divers places, and there will be famines, and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
