And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of a newly-married man go without food while he is with them? as long as they have him with them they will not go without food.

And the Pharisees said to him, Why are they doing what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;

And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people;

And he gave them special orders not to say who he was.

And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

And if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.

And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:

So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?

And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?

There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.

He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.

And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.

He was living in the place of the dead: and no man was able to keep him down, no, not with a chain;

And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

And he made strong prayers to him not to send them away out of the country.

And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.

They were to go with common shoes on their feet, and not to take two coats.

And whatever place will not take you in and will not give ear to you, when you go away, put off the dust from your feet as a witness against them.

And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.

Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?

And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.

And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.

But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

Because he was not certain what to say, for they were in great fear.

And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.

And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.

But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.

Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

He who is not against us is for us.

Where their worm is ever living and the fire is not put out.

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

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

Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:

For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.

And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.

And he would not let any man take a vessel through the Temple.

And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him?

And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.

Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:

And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?

When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.

But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.

And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.

Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

And Jesus said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.

And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

And when you have news of wars and talk of wars, do not be troubled; these things have to be, but it is still not the end.

And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.

And let him who is on the house-top not go down, or go in, to take anything out of his house:

And let not him who is in the field go back to take his coat.

And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter.

For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

But of that day or that hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father.

Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.
