And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather girdle about his loin. And he ate locusts and wild honey.

And it happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. And He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to Him.

And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And in their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,

And rising up quite early in the night, He went out and went away into a deserted place, and He was praying there.

And He having spoken, the leprosy instantly departed from him and he was cleansed.

But going out, he began to proclaim it very much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in deserted places. And they came to Him from every quarter.

And again He entered into Capernaum after some days. And it was heard that He was in a house.

Then they came to Him, bringing one who was paralyzed, who was carried by four.

When they could not come near to Him because of the crowd, they unroofed the roof where He was. And digging through, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.

And He said to them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he, and those with him?

And He again entered into the synagogue. And a man was there who had a withered hand.

And looking around on them with anger, being grieved because of the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he stretched it out. And his hand was restored whole, like the other.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan, and those around Tyre and Sidon, a great throng came to him, having heard how much He was doing.

And He began again to teach by the seaside. And there was a great crowd gathered to Him, so that He entered into a boat and sat in the sea. And the whole crowd was on the land by the seaside.

And when the sun rose, it was scorched. And because it had no root, it withered away.

And when He was alone, they who were about Him, with the Twelve, asked Him concerning the parable.

And these are those by the wayside, where the Word is sown. And when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.

And when they had sent away the crowd, they took Him with them as He was in the boat. And there were also other little boats with Him.

And there arose a windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

And He was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a headrest. And they awakened Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we perish?

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

And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying and cutting himself with stones.

And a great herd of pigs was feeding near the mountains.

And the ones who fed the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And Jesus having crossed again by boat to the other side, a large crowd collected on Him. And He was near the sea.

And instantly the fountain of her blood dried up. And she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

And they laughed at Him. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.

And instantly the little girl arose and walked (for she was twelve years old). And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Others said that it was Elijah. And others said that he is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man. And he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.

And going out Jesus saw a large crowd. And He was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

And when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.

And He saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth watch of the night He came toward them walking on the sea, and would have passed by them.

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a phantom, and cried out.

And He went up into the boat to them. And the wind was cut off. And they were very much amazed within themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

they ran all around that neighborhood, and began to carry on cots those who were sick, wherever they heard He was.

The woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race. And she begged Him that He would cast the demon out of her daughter.

And instantly his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.

And after that He put His hands again on his eyes and made him look up. And he was restored and saw all clearly.

And after six days Jesus took Peter and James and John and led them up into a high mountain, apart by themselves. And He was transfigured before them.

And Elijah with Moses was seen by them, and they were talking with Jesus.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.

And the spirit cried out, throwing him into convulsions, and came out of him. And he was like one dead, so that many said, He is dead.

And He came to Capernaum. And being in the house, He asked them, What was it that you disputed among yourselves in the way?

But they were silent. For in the way they had disputed among themselves who was the greatest.

And He arose from there. And He came into the borders of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And again a crowd came together to Him. And as was His custom, He taught them again.

But when Jesus saw, He was much displeased and said to them, Allow the little children to come to Me and do not hinder them. For of such is the kingdom of God.

And he was sad at that saying and went away grieved, for he had great possessions.

And they came to Jericho. And as He with His disciples and a large crowd went out of Jericho, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the side of the highway, begging.

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!

And on the next day, they going out of Bethany, He was hungry.

And seeing a fig-tree with leaves afar off, He went to it, if perhaps He might find anything on it. And when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season of figs.

And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him

The baptism of John, was it from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me.

this was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes"?

And after two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by craft and kill Him.

And some were indignant to themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

I was with you daily in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.

But neither was their testimony identical.

But He was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, Are you the Christ, the son of the Blessed?

And as Peter was below in the palace, one of the servant women of the high priest came.

And there was one named Barabbas, bound with the insurgents, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And they made one who was passing by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His cross.

And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

And the inscription of His accusation was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, "And he was numbered with the lawless."

And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

And when the centurion, who stood across from him, saw that He cried out so, and expired, he said, Truly this man was Son of God.

And also women were watching from a distance, among whom also was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

(who also, when He was in Galilee, followed Him and ministered to Him), and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

And it, becoming evening already, since it was the Preparation, that is, the day before sabbath,

And he bought a linen cloth, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.

And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where He was laid.

And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James and Salome, had bought sweet spices so that they might come and anoint Him.

And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back, for it was very great.

And he said to them, Do not be frightened. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen, He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.

And those hearing that He lives, and was seen by her, they did not believe.

Then indeed, after speaking to them, the Lord was taken up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
