Now it came to pass for him to be going through the grain fields on a particular Sabbath, and his disciples were plucking the ears and were eating, rubbing them in their hands.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,

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

And it also came to pass on another Sabbath for him to enter into the synagogue and teach. And a man was there, and his right hand was withered.

And the scribes and pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against Him.

but as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man, whose hand was paralytic, rise up, and stand there in the middle. and he arose, and stood before him.

then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one question, which is the most allowable on the sabbath-day, to do good, or to neglect it? to save a man's life, or to let him perish?

And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well.

And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:

Simon, (and he named him Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Matthew and Thomas, James, him of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,

And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

and He came down the hill with them, and stood in the plain; with the rest of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all the parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,

who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured.

And all the people endeavoured to touch Him, for there went a divine virtue out of Him, and healed them all.

to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:

give to him that asketh thee, and from him that taketh thy goods on loan demand nothing.

And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die.

and having heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that He would come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they intreated Him earnestly, saying, he is worthy of this favor:

It is right for you to do this for him, because he is a friend to our nation, and himself has put up a Synagogue for us.

So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:

And when Jesus heard these things, He marvelled, and turning about, said to the multitude that followed Him, I declare unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.

And the day after He went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with Him, and a great multitude besides:

And he went and touched the coffin, and they that bare him stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say unto thee, arise."

And the dead person sat up, and began to speak: and He delivered him to his mother.

And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.

And the disciples of John told him of all these things: so John called two of his disciples to him,

And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?

And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

---and all the people that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John;

but the pharisees indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.---

For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying 'He has a demon in him';

the Son of man is come eating and drinking like other men, and ye call Him a gluttonous man and a wine bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners.

And one of the pharisees asked Him to eat with him: and He went into the pharisee's house, and sat down.

brought an alabaster-box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind Him, weeping, and washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

But when the pharisee that invited Him saw it, he said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what sort of a woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a notorious sinner.

And Jesus said unto him, Simon, I have something to say to thee: (and he replied, Master, say on.)

A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed him five hundred denaries, and the other fifty:

and they not being able to pay him, he freely forgave them both: tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

And Simon answered, I suppose he to whom he forgave most. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged:

Then Jesus turned to the woman [who had just poured the perfume on Him] and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you did not give me any water for [washing] my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them dry with her hair.

And for this, I tell you, her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned, because she has loved greatly; but one who has little pardoned him, loves but little."

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at table with him said within themselves,

And they that sat at table with Him, said within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

And it came to pass afterwards that He went through every city and village, preaching and declaring the good tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him;

The twelve were with him, and certain women whom he had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases. Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons have been driven,

and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who assisted Him with their substance.

And when a great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,

But some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded fruit an hundred-fold. And as He said these things He cried out, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

And his disciples asked Him, what might be the meaning of this parable.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever improveth what he hath, to him shall more be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken from him.

Now his mother and his brethren came to Him, and could not come at Him for the croud:

and it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee.

Now it happened that one of these days he got into a boat, And him his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake."

And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And He said unto them, Where is your faith? But they were struck with awe and amazement, and said one to another, who is this? for He commandeth even the winds and the sea, and they obey Him.

And when He was landed, there met Him a man out of the city, who had been possessed by demons a long while, and wore no clothes, and abode in no dwelling but the tombs.

But when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down to Him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)

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

And they besought Him that He would not command them to go into the abyss:

but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer them to enter into them, and He permitted them.

The demons came out of the man and left him, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently over the cliff into the Lake and were drowned.

And all the people of the country round about the Gadarenes desired Him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and He went into the ship and returned.

Now the man from whom the demons were gone out, prayed Him to let him be with Him: but Jesus sent him away,

saying, Return home, and relate what God hath done for thee. So he went away publishing through the whole city what great things Jesus had done to him.

And when Jesus returned, a great multitude of people received Him; for they were all waiting for Him.

And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, and intreated Him to come into his house:

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded Him:

and among the rest a woman, who had been troubled with an hemorrhage twelve years, having consum'd her whole fortune upon physicians, who could none of them cure her; she getting behind him,

but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that touched me?

And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

While He was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.

Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure dis eases:

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

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

And the apostles; when they were returned, told Him all that they had done: and He took them and retired privately into a desert place belonging to the city Bethsaida.

But when the people knew it they followed Him; and He received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those that had need of a cure.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, Dismiss the people, that they may go into the villages and country-places round about, and bait, and get food: for here we are in a desert place.

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and He looked up to heaven [and gave thanks] and blessed them, and broke them and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?

And He said unto them all, if any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me:

For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He comes in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

and behold two men talked with Him, which were Moses and Elias;

Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him.

And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

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

And the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met Him:

and lo, a spirit seizeth him, and all on a sudden he screameth, and it convulses him with foaming; and bruising him, with much ado departs from him.

And I prayed thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

Then Jesus answered, "O you unbelieving, stubborn people of the times! How long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring him here to me."

And as he was coming along, the devil bruised and convulsed him: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
