And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

And it came to pass while he relaxed in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinners having come, they were sitting with Jesus and his disciples.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly warned them, saying, See that no man knows it.

But when he saw the multitudes, he felt compassion for them, because they were troubled and dejected, as sheep having no shepherd.

All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears, and to eat.

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this not the son of David?

And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.

But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.

And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house.

And they all ate, and were filled. And they took up that which remained of the fragments, twelve baskets full.

And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost, and they cried out from fear.

And they besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment. And as many as touched were healed.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid.

And while they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man will rise from the dead.

and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up. And they were exceedingly sorry.

But whoever may cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is advantageous for him that a donkey-powered millstone were hanged on his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

And when his fellow bondmen saw the things that happened, they were extremely sorry. And after coming, they reported to their lord all the things that happened.

For there are eunuchs who were born this way from their mother's belly, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to

Then children were brought to him, so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

And when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

And when the ten heard it, they were indignant about the two brothers.

But when the chief priests and the scholars saw the wonderful things that he did, and the boys crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant,

And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.

Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.

Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding is indeed ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.

But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.

Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first having married perished. And having no seed left his wife to his brother.

And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his doctrine.

And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved. But because of the chosen those days will be shortened.

For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until that day Noah entered into the ark.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish,

Then all those virgins were roused, and put their lamps in order.

And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

But when his disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?

And as they were eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

The Son of man indeed goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born.

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, having expressed thanks, broke in pieces, and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.

And having come again, he finds them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

And those who seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest where the scholars and the elders were assembled together.

When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

And having spat upon him, they took the reed and were striking him on his head.

And also the robbers who were crucified with him reviled him the same way.

and the sepulchers were opened, and many bodies of the sanctified who have been asleep arose.

And many women were there watching from afar, who followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him,

And Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail. And having come, they held his feet and worshiped him.

Now while they were going, behold, some of the security having come into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things that happened.

And having taken the silver pieces, they did as they were instructed. And this saying was spread abroad among the Jews until this day.

And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.

And having advanced a little from there he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.

And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?

And having become evening when the sun set they brought to him all who were faring badly, and those who were demon-possessed.

And he healed many who were faring badly with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he did not allow the demons to speak, because they had recognized him.

And straightaway many were gathered together, so as to accommodate no more, not even near the door. And he spoke the word to them.

But some of the scholars were sitting there, and deliberating in their hearts,

And it came to pass, while he was dining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

And John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but the disciples with you do not fast?

How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the high priest, and ate the loaves of the presentation, which is not permitted to eat except for the priests. And he also gave to those who were with him?

And he says to them, Is it permitted to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

And the Pharisees having gone out, they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

And these are those that were sown upon the good ground, who hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

And having sent the multitude away, they bring him along as he was in the boat. And other small boats were also with him.

And a great storm of wind develops, and the waves were thrown into the boat, so as for it now to be filling.

Because he was often bound with shackles and chains, and the chains were pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces. And no man had strength to subdue him.

And straightaway, Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits having come out, entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the sea, and were drowned in the sea. And there were about two thousand.

And they come to Jesus, and see the man who was demon-possessed, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind (the man who had the legion), and they were afraid.

And straightaway the little girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed with a great amazement.

Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves in private into a desolate place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And Jesus having come out, he saw a great multitude. And he felt compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And they all ate, and were filled.

And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And straightaway he spoke with them, and says to them, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.

And he went up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, extraordinarily so. And they wondered,

after running around that whole region around, they began to carry about on beds those who were faring badly, where they heard he was there.

And wherever he entered, into villages or cities or fields, they laid those who were feeble in the marketplaces, and besought him that if they might but touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were being healed.

And straightaway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.

And they were exceedingly astonished, saying, He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.

And they ate and were filled. And they took up seven hampers of surplus fragments.

And those who ate were about four thousand, and he sent them away.

For he knew not what he would say, for they were frightened.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no man what they saw, except when the Son of man will rise from the dead.

And straightaway all the multitude, having noticed him, were startled. And running near they greeted him.

And wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes limp. And I spoke to thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.
