And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.

Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs.

But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

And make us free of our debts, as we have made those free who are in debt to us.

If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

And a man will be hated by those of his house.

The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

But what went you out to see? a man delicately clothed? Those who have fair robes are in kings' houses.

But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread which it was not right for him or for those who were with him to take, but only for the priests?

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.

The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,

And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

With the request that they might only put their hands on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead.

Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.

But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.

And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and those who had put his servants to death he gave to destruction, burning down their town with fire.

Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.

And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put under your feet all those who are against you?

But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!

Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains:

But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

Because in those days there will be great sorrow, such as there has not been from the start of the world till now, or ever will be.

And if those days had not been made short there would have been no salvation for any, but because of the saints those days will be made short.

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,

Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;

Then all those virgins got up, and made ready their lights.

And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.

Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene.

And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death.

Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death.

And those who went by said bitter words to him, shaking their heads and saying,

In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

And he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did, when he had need and was without food, he, and those who were with him?

How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him?

For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

And he went up into the mountain, and sent for those whom it was his pleasure to have with him: and they went to him.

And looking round at those who were seated about him, he said, See, my mother and my brothers!

And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,

And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.
