But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and what is more excellent than a prophet.

This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)

And the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spoke with himself saying, This person if he were a prophet would have known who and what the woman is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them their debt: say, which of them therefore will love him most?

For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little.

And they that were with them at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?

The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;

and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

For there is nothing hid which shall not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger;

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

And as he got out of the ship on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs.

And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.

And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,

because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.

While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.

And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them.

And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? and he sought to see him.

And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white and effulgent.

And it came to pass as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And as the voice was heard Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:

But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.

and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you.

And they did not receive him, because his face was turned as going to Jerusalem.

And his disciples James and John seeing it said, Lord, wilt thou that we speak that fire come down from heaven and consume them, as also Elias did?

And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

But Jesus said to him, No one having laid his hand on the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.

And he said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the workmen few; supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest that he may send out workmen into his harvest.

Go: behold I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,

and heal the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

Even the dust of your city, which cleaves to us on the feet, do we shake off against you; but know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning falling out of heaven.

In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

And he said to him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

But he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding; and thy neighbour as thyself.

But he, desirous of justifying himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

And on the morrow as he left, taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.

And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.

And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

give us our needed bread for each day;

and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.

since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;

and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give it thee?

I say to you, Although he will not get up and give them to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.

But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and the father shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?

If therefore ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;

and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

But if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.

He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters.

And it came to pass as he spake these things, a certain woman, lifting up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the womb that has borne thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But as the crowds thronged together, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation: it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it but the sign of Jonas.

For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, thus shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, more than Solomon is here.

Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

The lamp of the body is thine eye: when thine eye is simple, thy whole body also is light; but when it is wicked, thy body also is dark.

See therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

If therefore thy whole body is light, not having any part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp lights thee with its brightness.

But as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him; and entering in he placed himself at table.

Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know it.

And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.

And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things;

In those times, the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;

Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.

But he said to him, Man, who established me as a judge or a divider over you?

And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions.

But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?

Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.

If therefore ye cannot do even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?

Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into the oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?

For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?

And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?

Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus;

And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.

Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how is it then that ye do not discern this time?

And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
