And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,

Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

And straight away the disease went from him, and he was made clean.

But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

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 when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was.

And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

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?

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

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

And he went again into the Synagogue; and there was a man there whose hand was dead.

And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

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

And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

And Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.

And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.

And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.

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

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.

And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.

And going away from the people, they took him with them, as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.

And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?

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

Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

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.

Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

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.

And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

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

For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

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 by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land.

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.

And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

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.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.

Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.

And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

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

And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.

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

And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?

But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

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.

And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.

But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.

And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.

And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.

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 Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

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:

This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

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.

And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.

And when he was going out of the Temple, one of his disciples said to him, Master, see, what stones and what buildings!

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes made designs how they might take him by deceit and put him to death:

And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

She has done what she was able: she has put oil on my body to make it ready for its last resting-place.

And Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might give him up to them.

And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

And when it was evening he came with the twelve.
