And Jesus himself when he began to teach was about thirty years of age. He was the son (as it was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was glorified by all.

But he, passing through the midst of them, took his departure.

Then he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and continued to teach the people on the Sabbath Days.

He went on board one of the boats which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push out a little way from land. Then he sat down and continued to teach the crowd from the boat.

"Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."

But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God.

"How he entered into God's house and took and ate the Presented Loaves, and gave some to his followers, loaves which none must eat but the priests?

The whole crowd were trying to touch him, because power emanated from him and cured them all.

"Or how can you say to your brother. "Brother, allow me to pull that splinter out of your eye," when you do not see the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out first the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the splinter from your brother's eye.

And awe took hold on them all, and they began to glorify God saying. "A great prophet has risen among us;" and, "God has visited his people."

"I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most."

But Jesus said: "Some one did touch me; for I perceived that the power was proceeding out of me."

But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Little daughter, rise!"

And he said to them. "Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, and do not have two tunics.

On their return the apostles told him what they had done. and he took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up in heaven, he blessed them, broke them in pieces, and began to giving to his disciples to apportion among the crowd.

And he said to all. "If any man wills to follow me, Let him renounce self and take up his cross daily and follow me.

About eight days after this it happened that Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and went up on the mountain to pray.

And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;

"He went to him bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine. He set him on his own beast, and took him to an inn, and took care of him.

"The next day he took two silver pieces and gave them to the landlord and said, "'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will repay it to you on my way back.'

But Martha meanwhile was growing distracted about much serving. She came up to him and said: "Lord do you not care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving? Come tell her to take hold of her end of the work along with me."

It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

"It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."

"It is like leaven which a took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."

It happened on the Sabbath Day when he went into the house of a certain ruler among Pharisees to take a meal, that they were watching him.

They kept silent. Then Jesus took him and healed him and let him go.

"'Give place to this man,' and then with mortification you proceed to take the lowest place.

"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.

"Now the steward said to himself. 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed.

"'A hundred measures of oil,' he answered. "He said to him, 'Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty."

They stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, take pity on us."

"On that day, if a man is on the housetop and his goods inside, let him not go down to take them away; nor should a man in the field turn back.

And they kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke them.

Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.

"'For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.'

"Then to those who stood by, he said, 'Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.'

Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.

So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man's person, but teach the way of God honestly.

"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man's brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.

"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,

"and the second and third took her,

"Take heed," he answered, "that you are not led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time is close at hand.' Do not go and follow them.

"But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be surcharged with self-indulgence and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day catches you suddenly like a trap.

"So be on your guard at all times, praying that you may be worthy to escape these things that shall come to pass, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of man."

"Take this, and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God is come."

And when they led him away they took hold of Simon, a Cyrenean, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry it behind Jesus.

On the Sabbath Day they rested in obedience to the commandment, but in the deep dawn of the first day of the week they took the spices which they had prepared, and came to the tomb.

So he went in to stay with them. But as he sat down with them, and took bread, and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,
