And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

And he asked for writing tables and wrote, saying, "His name is John." And they marveled all.

and all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner child shall this be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.

And it fortuned while they were there, her time was come that she should be delivered.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord stood hard by them, and the brightness of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.

And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laid in a manger.

And when they had seen it, they published abroad the saying, which was told them of that child.

And the shepherds returned, praising and lauding God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was told unto them.

And when the time of their purification, after the law of Moses, was come they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:

And as soon as they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee to their own city, Nazareth.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned home, the child Jesus bode still in Jerusalem, unknowing to his father and mother.

For they supposed he had been in the company, and therefore came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

When they found him not, they went back again to Jerusalem, and sought him.

And it fortuned, after three days, that they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors: both hearing them, and posing them.

And when they saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said unto him, "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee, sorrowing."

And they understood not the saying that he spake to them.

and was forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days ate he nothing: And when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

If thou therefore wilt worship me, they shall be all thine."

and with their hands they shall stay thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

And all they bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

And as many as were in the synagogue when they heard that, were filled with wrath

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his preaching was with power.

And fear came on them all; And they spake among themselves, saying, "What manner a thing is this? For with authority and power he commandeth the foul spirits and they come out."

And he rose up and came out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's mother-in-law was taken with a great fever; And they made intercession to him for her.

And devils also came out of many of them, crying and saying, "Thou art Christ the son of God." And he rebuked them, and suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.

And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net brake:

but they made signs to their fellows which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and they filled both the ships, that they sunk again.

For he was utterly astonished, and all that were with him at the draught of fish which they took:

And they brought the ships to land, and forsook all, and followed him.

And behold, men brought a man lying in his bed, which was taken with a palsy, and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the press, they went up on the top of the house, and let him down through the tiling, bed and all, in the midst before Jesus.

And they were all amazed, and they lauded God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

Jesus answered and said unto them, "They that are whole, need not of the physician: but they that are sick.

Then they said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and pray: and the disciples of the Pharisees also: and thine eat and drink?"

The days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days."

And the scribes, and Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath day or not, that they might find an accusation against him.

And they that were sent, turned back home again, and found the servant that was sick whole.

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

They are like unto children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, 'We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced: We have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.'

When they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them tell me, will love him most?"

And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, "Who is this which forgiveth sins also?"

And he said, "Unto you is it given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God: but to others in similitudes, that when they see, they should not see, and when they hear they should not understand.

Those that are beside the way, are they that hear, and afterward cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

They on the stones, are they which, when they hear, receive the word with joy. But these have no roots, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation go away.

And that which fell among thorns, are they which hear, and go forth, and are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit.

That in the good ground, are they which with a good and pure heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

And it chanced on a certain day that he went into a ship, and his disciples also, and he said unto them, "Let us go over unto the other side of the lake." And they launched forth.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there arose a storm of wind in the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

And they went to him and awoke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are lost." Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the tempest of water: and they ceased, and it waxed calm.

And he said unto them, "Where is your faith?" They feared and wondered, saying one to another, "What fellow is this? For he commandeth both the winds and water, and they obey him!"

And they sailed unto the region of the Gaderenes, which is over against Galilee.

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

And there was thereby a herd of many swine, feeding on a hill, and they besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

When the herdsmen saw what had chanced, they fled, and told it in the city and in the villages.

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

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devil, was healed.

And all the whole multitude of the country of the Gaderenites, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he gat him into the ship and returned back again.

And it fortuned, when Jesus was come again, that the people received him. For they all waited for him.

And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched me?" When every man denied, Peter and they that were with him, said, "Master, the people thrust thee and vex thee: and thou sayest, 'Who touched me?'"

And they laughed him to scorn. For they knew that she was dead.

And the father and the mother of her were astonished. But he warned them that they should tell no man, what was done.

Then called he the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and that they might heal diseases.

And they went out, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

And the apostles returned, and told him what great things they had done. And he took them and went aside into a solitary place, nigh to a city called Bethsaida.

And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, "Send the people away, that they may go into the towns, and villages roundabout, and lodge, and get meat, for we are here in a place of wilderness."

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

And they were about a five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, "Cause them to sit down by fifties in a company."

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

And they all ate, and were all satisfied. And there was taken up of that remained to them, twelve baskets full of broken meat.

They answered and said, "John Baptist. Some say Elijah. And some say, one of the old prophets is risen again."

And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell no man that thing,

And I tell you of a surety, Some there be, of them that here stand, which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God."

And behold, two men talked with him, and they were Moses and Elijah,

Peter, and they that were with him, were heavy with sleep. And when they woke, they saw his glory, and two men standing with him.

And it chanced, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, "Master, it is good being here for us. Let us make three tabernacles: one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." And wist not what he said.

While he thus spake there came a cloud and shadowed them and they feared when they were come under the cloud.

And as soon as 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 chanced on the next day, as they came down from the hill, much people came and met him.

And I have besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not."

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