All the generations, therefore, from Abraham to David were fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen generations.

Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.

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

And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him:

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

And his fame went out into the whole of Syria, and they brought to him all that were ill, suffering under various diseases and pains, and those possessed by demons, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his doctrine,

And when the evening was come, they brought to him many possessed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were ill;

But the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

But the crowds seeing it, were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears and to eat.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him?

And all the crowds were amazed and said, Is this man the Son of David?

And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.

but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having any root were dried up;

And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these works of power?

And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.

And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,

and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.

And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

And the disciples hearing it fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said to him, Why were not we able to cast him out?

and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

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

And the ten, having heard of it, were indignant about the two brothers.

And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,

And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.

Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.

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

But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,

And five of them were prudent and five foolish.

They that were foolish took their torches and did not take oil with them;

But as they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ones that were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and blessed, broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom they who were of the sons of Israel had set a price on,

And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,

But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this man was Son of God.

And there were there many women beholding from afar off, who had followed Jesus from Galilee ministering to him,

saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him while we were sleeping.

And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.

And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before them all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.

And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

how he entered into the house of God, in the section of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?

And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

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

and having sent away the crowd, they take him with them, as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.

because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters were shattered; and no one was able to subdue him.

And Jesus immediately allowed them. And the unclean spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep slope, into the sea (about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

And immediately the damsel arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands?

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

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

And they all ate and were satisfied.

And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

For all saw him and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good courage: it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind fell. And they were exceedingly beyond measure astonished in themselves and wondered;

they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.

And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.

And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
