Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

He said to them, "Let's go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason."

Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I want to. Be made clean."

When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

and said to him, "See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -- he said to the paralytic --

As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can't fast.

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

He said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry -- he, and those who were with him?

He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

He said to the man who had his hand withered, "Stand up."

He said to them, "Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent.

When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored as healthy as the other.

He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him because of the crowd, so that they wouldn't press on him.

When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, "He is insane."

The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebul," and, "By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons."

He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

-- because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers!

Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.

He said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

He said to them, "To you is given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

He said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

He said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a stand?

He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.

He said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how.

He said, "How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?

It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to the other side."

He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"

They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said, "What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don't torment me."

For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

He didn't allow him, but said to him, "Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you."

When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.

For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well."

His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"

He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."

But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."

When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."

Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi!" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up!"

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."

He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets."

But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead."

For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't,

When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

She went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She said, "The head of John the Baptizer."

He said to them, "You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.

He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.

They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.

Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.

for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I! Don't be afraid."

"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men -- the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."

He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.

He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them,

He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."

He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.

They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.

He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.

Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?

He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees walking."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.

Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."

He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us."
