Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.

Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things you have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, they who are gorgeously appareled, and live in luxury, are in kings' courts.

But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.

And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

And one of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

And, behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat to eat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,

And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner.

And they that sat to eat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also?

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons,

And when many people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man, when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a lampstand, that they who enter in may see the light.

And it was told him by some who said, Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him.

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons for a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God most high? I beseech you, torment me not.

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had seized him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the desert.)

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion: because many demons were entered into him.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

Then went the demons out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

They also who saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the demons was healed.

Now the man out of whom the demons were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Return to your own house, and show what great things God has done unto you. And he went his way, and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done unto him.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

And Jesus said, Somebody has touched me: for I perceive that power has gone out of me.

While he yet spoke, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Child, arise.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

And whosoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

But he said unto them, Give you them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; unless we should go and buy food for all this people.

And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

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

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or suffer loss?

And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his clothing was white and glistening.

Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his death which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

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

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

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, many people met him.

And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech you, look upon my son: for he is my only child.

And, lo, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it convulses him so that he foams again, and bruising him seldom departs from him.

And I besought your disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him about that saying.

And John answered and said, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he follows not with us.

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow you wherever you go.

And another also said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, who are at home at my house.

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

But into whatsoever city you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tested him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

He said unto him, What is written in the law? how read you?

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

And on the next day when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay you.

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

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

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give to him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke; and the people wondered.

But some of them said, He casts out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons.

If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house from which I came out.

And when he comes, he finds it swept and in order.

And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you have nursed.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
