Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,

and they were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be immersed by him.

But John was preventing him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and thou come to me?

But having answered, Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allows him.

And when Jesus was immersed, he went up straightaway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him.

And after he who tempts came, he said to him, If thou are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread.

And he says to him, If thou are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, He will command his agents about thee, and, They will take thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Jesus said to him, Again it is written, Thou shall not challenge Lord thy God.

Again, the devil takes him onto an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them.

And he says to him, All these things I give thee, if after falling down, thou will worship me.

And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.

And whoever will draft thee for one mile, go thou with him two.

Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.

Be not therefore like them, for your Father knows what things ye have need of before ye ask him.

For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son may ask for bread, will give him a stone,

and if he may ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?

If ye therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father in the heavens will give good things to those who ask him?

But Jesus said to him, Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.

And upon his entering into the boat, his disciples followed him.

And the disciples having approached, they awoke him, saying, Save us, Lord, we are perishing.

But the men marveled, saying, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

And upon his coming to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two men being demon possessed met him, coming out of the sepulchers, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.

And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine.

he says to them, Depart, for the little girl did not die, but sleeps. And they ridiculed him.

And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Be merciful to us, thou son of David.

And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

But having departed, they widely proclaimed him in all that land.

And after they departed, behold, they brought to him a mute man possessed with a demon.

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another?

And behold, there was a man having a withered hand. And they interrogated him, asking if it permitted to heal on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him.

But when they went out, the Pharisees held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.

And having known it Jesus withdrew from there, and many multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.

And he chided them so that they would not make him known,

Behold, my Boy whom I chose, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare justice to the Gentiles.

Then a blind and mute man being demon possessed, was brought to him. And he healed him, so as for the blind and mute man both to speak and to see.

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in the present age, nor in the one that is coming.

While he was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers had stood outside, seeking to speak to him.

And some man said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to thee.

But having answered, he said to the man who told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?
