And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look 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 he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

And the Lord said, "Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation: and what thing are they like?

For when John the Immerser came, he did not eat bread or drink wine [on festive occasions] and you said, 'He is dominated by an evil spirit.'

[Then] the Son of man came eating and drinking [at festive occasions] and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and worldly people.'

Now when the Pharisee in whose house he was saw it, he said to himself, This man, if he was a prophet, would be conscious what sort of woman this is who has put her hands on 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.

And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

And those who were seated at table with him said to themselves, Who is this who even gives forgiveness of sins?

And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Now as a great crowd was coming together and people were coming to Him from one town after another, He said by way of a story:

"The sower," He said, "goes out to sow his seed; and as he sows, some of the seed falls by the way-side, and is trodden upon, or the birds of the air come and peck it up.

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

But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.

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 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.

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

The man out of whom the demons had gone begged Him to let him go with Him, but Jesus sent him away and said,

"Return home," He said, "and tell there all that God has done for you." So he went and published through the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.

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 .

But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me.

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, which said to him, "Thy daughter is dead, disease not the master."

But Jesus at these words said to him, Have no fear, only have faith, and she will be made well.

And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.

And he sent them to preach the gospel of the kingdom, and to heal the sick. And said to them, Take nothing for your journey,

because it was said by some, That John was risen from the dead; and by some that Elijah had appeared; by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

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

And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

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.

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

For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others'say , Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

Peter answering said, The Christ of God. But he straitly charged and commanded them,

as He said, "The Son of Man has to endure great suffering and be disowned by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes, and be put to death but be raised to life on the third day."

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.

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 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 while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; continue to listen to Him!"

And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

And a man from among them, crying out, said, Master, I make a request to you, give a thought to my son, for he is my only child:

And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

he said to his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears; for the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

But they did not understand what He was talking about, for it was hidden from them, so that they would not understand its meaning. And they were afraid to ask Him about what He had said.

but Jesus perceiving what they thought, took a child and set him before him: then said to them,

and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

And when his disciples James and John saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

But turning round he said sharp words to them.

And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.

A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

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

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.

And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

And behold, a certain scribe stood up, and trying him, said, Master, what shall I do, to inherit eternal life?

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

And 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 thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee.

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he said.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

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;

But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
