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 even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;

how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?

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 the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse 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 he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did'so : and his hand was restored.

When day came, He called His disciples to Him, and selected from them twelve whom He also named 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 with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea 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 multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all.

To him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also.

Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.

And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.

And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;

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.

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:

And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.

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 he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.

And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

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 when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

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

And all the people, even the tax-collectors, when they heard him, vindicated the righteous requirements of God by submitting to John's baptism,

But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of 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 has come eating and drinking with others, and yet you say, 'Just look at Him! A glutton and a wine-drinker, an intimate friend of tax-collectors and notorious sinners!'

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

And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

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

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.

"Two men were in debt to a money-lender. One owed him a hundred dollars, the other ten.

When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?

Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he 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 meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?

And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,

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 chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:

And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath.

And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd.

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 perish. And he awoke, 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? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs.

And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts.

And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him.

And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.

Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

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 of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them, for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.

But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him.

And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed 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 to come into his house;

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged 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,

came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched.

And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee .

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

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.

But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole.

And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother.

And they laughed him to scorn, 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:

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done by him, and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among the dead,

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

And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured.

And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here 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 apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he said unto all, If any man would 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 cometh in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

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

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto 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 Elijah: not knowing what he said.

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

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

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 yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
