And Josiah fathered Jehoiachin and his brothers, at the time they were carried away to Babylon.

And they were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

And Jesus, when He had been baptized, went up immediately out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him.

And walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea. For they were fishermen.

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward in Heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And it happened, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His doctrine.

And evening coming on, they brought to Him many who had been possessed with demons. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick

And it happened as Jesus reclined in the house, behold, many tax-collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Him and His disciples.

But when the people were put out, He went in and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See, let no one know.

But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.

Then He began to upbraid the cities in which most of His mighty works were done, because they did not repent.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the powerful acts which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes!

At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the sabbath day. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the heads of grain and to eat.

But He said to them, Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,

how he entered into the house of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

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

And great crowds were gathered to Him, so that He went into a boat and sat. And all the crowd stood on the shore.

And the sun rising, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away.

And when He had come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so much so that they were astonished and said, From where does this man have this wisdom and these mighty works?

And they were offended in Him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house.

And they all ate and were filled. And they took up twelve hand baskets full from the fragments that remained.

And they who had eaten 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 phantom! And they cried out for fear.

And recognizing Him, the men of that place sent to all that neighborhood, and brought to Him all who were diseased.

And they begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His robe. And as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,

Then His disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?

And they all ate, and were filled; and they took up seven lunch baskets full of the pieces that was left.

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

And when the disciples heard, they fell on their face and were greatly terrified.

But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believes in Me, it would be better for him that an ass's millstone were hung around his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.

So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry. And they came and told their lord all that was done.

For there are some eunuchs who were born so from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then little children were brought to Him, that He should put His hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.

When His disciples heard, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

And when they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each one received a denarius.

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

And behold, two blind men were sitting by the wayside. When they heard that Jesus passed by, they cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things which He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were angry.

And he sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come.

Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.

Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first, when he had married a wife, died. And, having no issue, he left his wife to his brother.

And when the crowd heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine.

But hearing that He had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees were gathered together.

While the Pharisees were gathered, Jesus asked them,

For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.

But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.

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

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

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And they who were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut.

And he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is My body.

And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and he struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

And Peter sat outside in the court. And a girl came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you desire that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one off the right, one off the left.

And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same.

And, behold! The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And the earth quaked, and the rocks were sheared,

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

And many of the women were there, watching from a distance, those who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, watching from a distance;

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

But as they were going to report to His disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail! And they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

And as they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and declared all the things that were done to the chief priests.

And taking the silver, they did as they were taught. And this saying was spread among the Jews until today.

And all the land of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

And walking along beside the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

And when He going farther from there a little, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

And they were astonished at His doctrine. For He taught them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.

They all were amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What new doctrine is this? For He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.

And at evening, when the sun set, they brought all those who were diseased to Him, and those who had been demon-possessed.

And He healed many who were sick of different diseases, and cast out many demons. And He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

And immediately many were gathered, so that none any longer had room, even to the door. And He proclaimed the Word to them.

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

And immediately he arose and took up his cot and went out before all. So that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw it this way.

And it happened as Jesus reclined in his house, many tax-collectors and sinners also reclined with Jesus and His disciples. For there were many, and they followed Him.

The disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting. And they came and said to Him, Why do John's disciples and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?

And He said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill? But they were silent.

And when He was alone, they who were about Him, with the Twelve, asked Him concerning the parable.

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

But he did not speak to them without a parable. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.

And when they had sent away the crowd, they took Him with them as He was in the boat. And there were also other little boats with Him.

And immediately Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the pigs. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

And they came to Jesus and saw him who had been demon-possessed, and had the legion, sitting and clothed and right-minded, the one who had the legion. And they were afraid.

And instantly the little girl arose and walked (for she was twelve years old). And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And when the sabbath day had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him, were astonished, saying, Where does this one get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are done by his hands?

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

And they cast out many demons, and anointed many who were sick with oil, and healed them.

And He said to them, Come aside into a deserted place and rest a little. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And going out Jesus saw a large crowd. And He was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

And they all ate and were filled.

And those eating the loaves were about five thousand men.

For they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He talked with them, and said, Be of good cheer. I AM! Do not be afraid.

And He went up into the boat to them. And the wind was cut off. And they were very much amazed within themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

For they did not understand the miracle of the loaves, for their hearts were hardened.

they ran all around that neighborhood, and began to carry on cots those who were sick, wherever they heard He was.

And wherever He entered, into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the streets and begged Him if only they might touch but the fringe of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made whole.

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