And John was clothed with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,

And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:

And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.

Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,

And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,

and the whole city was gathered together at the door;

And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.

And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.

be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.

But when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.

And after some days He went again into Capernaum; and it being heard that He was in the house,

great numbers were immediately gathered together, so that there was no more room to contain them, not even about the door: and as he was preaching the word unto them,

there came some to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men:

and not being able to come near to Him for the croud, they uncovered the roof where He was, and when they had made an openning, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was laid.

And as He was going thro' the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples began as they went along to pluck the ears of corn.

And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, in his necessity, when he was hungry, himself and those that were with him?

how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards the high priest, and did eat the shew-bread, which it is not lawful for any to eat, but the priests, and gave also to them that were with him!

And He said moreover unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath:

And He went another time into a synagogue, where there was a man that had a withered hand:

And when He had looked round upon them with indignation, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, He saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and his hand was made as sound as the other.

and there was a multitude sitting about Him, and they said to Him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are without inquiring for thee.

And He began to teach again by the sea-side, and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude; so that He went into a ship, and sat on board, and all the people were by the sea, upon the shore.

but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:

And when He was apart from the multitude, those that were about Him with the twelve asked Him concerning the parable.

where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

for there is nothing hidden, which may not be revealed; nor was there any thing concealed, but in order to become manifest.

So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise with Him.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now almost full.

And He was in the stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing?

And He rose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still; and the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And when He was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him from the tombs,

and he was always night and day upon the hills and among the sepulchres bawling, and gashing himself with stones.

Now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountains:

And they that were feeding the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what was done:

And when Jesus passed over again in the ship to the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto Him, nigh unto the sea.

And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt within herself that she was healed of the disorder.

And immediately Jesus, knowing in Himself that power was gone out of Him, turned about in the croud and said, Who touched my clothes?

While He was yet speaking, there came some from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead, why dost thou trouble the Master any more?

But Jesus hearing the word that was spoken, immediately saith to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe:

and when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why do ye take on thus and weep? the child is not dead, but asleep.

And they laughed at Him: but when He had turned them all out, He taketh the father, and the mother of the child, and those three that were with Him, and goes in where the child was laid:

and immediately the damsel rose up and walked; for she was twelve years old; and they were struck with great astonishment.

and when the sabbath was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many that heard Him were astonished, and said, From whence hath He these things? and what is this wisdom which is given unto Him, that even such mighty things are done by his hands?

and He was amazed at their unbelief. But he went about all the villages round, teaching.

And king Herod heard of Him, (for his name was spread abroad,) and he said, John the baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous powers appear in him.

And the king was exceedingly grieved, but on account of his oath, and those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her: but immediately sent one of his guard,

And when Jesus came out of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them; because they were as sheep without a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.

And when it was now late in the day, his disciples came to Him, and said, this is a desert place, and it is now late:

And when the evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone upon the land:

and He saw them labouring in rowing; (for the wind was contrary:) and about the fourth watch of the night He cometh to them walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

But they seeing Him walking upon the water, thought it was an apparition, and cried out: for they all saw Him and were frighted.

for their heart was stupified.

and carried about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.

And when He was come into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning the meaning of the parable.

whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,

(now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from her daughter.

and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.

And therefore as He was giving them a charge, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,

Then He put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored to sight, and saw them all plainly.

And after six days Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up by themselves to a high mountain apart; and was transfigured before them:

And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him.

And when he had rored and vehemently convulsed him, he came out of him: and the child was as one dead, so that many said, that he was dead.

And when He was come into the house, his disciples asked Him in private, Why could not we cast him out?

And they departed from thence and passed through Galilee, and He was not willing that any should know it;

for He was instructing his disciples, and told them, the Son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and on the third day, after his being put to death, He will rise again.

And he came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He asked them, What were ye disputing about among yourselves by the way?

And He arose from thence and came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to Him again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.

Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

But he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

And they came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.

And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And on the morrow, as they came from Bethany, He was hungry:

and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, with leaves, He went to see if He might find any thing upon it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves; (for the time of gathering figs was not yet come:) And Jesus spake and said unto it,

And when it was evening, He went out of the city.

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

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

but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed:)

this was from the Lord, and it is marvellous in our eyes."

And Jesus spake and said, as He was teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say, that the Christ is the son of David?

And He said unto them as He was teaching them, Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and salutations in public-places,

And as Jesus was sitting over against the treasury, He saw how the people threw money into the treasury, and many of the rich put in much;

And as He was going out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to Him, Master, behold what fine stones are here, and what stately buildings!

And as He was sitting on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,

for in those days shall be such affliction as never was from the beginning of the world, unto this day, nor ever shall be.

Now the feast of the passover and unleavened bread was within two days: and the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might seize Him by treachery and put Him to death.

And when He was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He was at table, there came a woman with an alabaster-box of ointment of spikenard, very valuable; and she brake the box and poured it on his head.

And there were some provoked at it and said, Why was this waste made of the ointment?

And immediately while He was yet speaking cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders:

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not seize me: but this is done that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

but neither was their evidence consistent.

And they spit upon Him, and blind-folded Him, and then buffeted Him and said to Him, prophesy who it was: and the officers struck him with their rods.

and when she saw Peter as he was warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him and said, Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene:

And as soon as ever it was light the chief priests holding a consultation with the elders and scribes, they and the whole sanhedrim, bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

but Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.

and there was one Barabbas under confinement with some of his accomplices in sedition, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was passing by, coming out of the country, to carry his cross:

And it was the third hour, when they fixed Him on the cross:

and the title of his charge was written over Him, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
