And they were finding in Him occasion to stumble. And Jesus said to them "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

"This is John the Immerser; He arose from the dead; and therefore do the powers work in Him."

For Herod, having laid hold of John, bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

And, wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet.

And Jesus, having heard it, withdrew thence, in a boat, into a desert, apart. And the multitudes, hearing of it, followed Him on foot from the cities.

And, evening coming on, the disciples came to Him, saying, "The place is desert, and the time already passed by: dismiss the multitudes, that, having gone into the villages, they may buy food for themselves."

And they say to Him, "We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes."

And straightway He constrained the disciples to enter into a boat, and to go before Him to the other side, while He should dismiss the multitudes.

And the disciples, seeing Him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

And Peter, answering Him, said, "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come to Thee on the water."

And immediately Jesus, stretching forth His hand, took hold of him, and saith to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

And these in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "Truly Thou art God's Son."

And, recognizing Him, the men of that place sent into all that region round about, and brought to Him all who were sick;

and they were beseeching Him, that they might only touch the border of His garment; and as many as touched it were made thoroughly well.

For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He that speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die,'

Then, His disciples, coming near, say to Him, "Knowest Thou that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, were made to stumble?"

And Peter, answering, said to Him, "Explain to us the parable."

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples, coming near, were beseeching Him, saying, "Send her away; for she is crying after us!"

But she, coming, was worshiping Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

And there came to Him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and they cast them at His feet, and He healed them;

And His disciples say to Him, "Whence should we, in a wilderness, have so many loaves as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming near, tempting Him, asked Him to show them a sign from the heaven;

And Jesus, answering, said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah; because flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in Heaven.

And Peter, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, "God be merciful to Thee! this shall not be to Thee."

Then said Jesus to His disciples, "If any one wishes to come after Me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me;

And, after six days, Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart;

And, behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with Him.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And, behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I delighted; hear Him."

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they recognized him not, but did with him whatsoever they wished: so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them."

And, when they came to the multitude, there approached Him a man, kneeling to Him, and saying,

And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not heal him."

And Jesus, answering, said, "O faithless and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you? Bring him here to Me."

And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up." And they were grieved exceedingly.

He says, "Yes." And Jesus anticipated him as he came into the house, saying, "What do you think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tax or tribute? from their sons, or from the aliens?"

And, when he said, "From the aliens," Jesus said to him, "Consequently the sons are free;

And, having called a little child to Him, He placed it in the midst of them,

But whosoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a large millstone be hanged about his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.

"And, if your brother sin against you, go show him his fault between you and him alone. If he hear you, you gained your brother;

And, if he disregard them, tell it to the assembly; and, if he disregard the assembly also, let him be to you as the gentile and the tax-collector.

Then Peter, coming near, said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?"

Jesus saith to him, "I say not to you, 'till seven times,' but till seventy times seven.

And, when he began to reckon, there was brought to him one debtor of ten thousand talents;

The servant, falling down, therefore, was bowing to him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'

And, moved with compassion, the lord of that servant released him, and forgave him the debt.

But, going forth, that servant found one of his fellow-servants, who was owing him a hundred denaries; and, having laid hold of him, he was choking him, saying, 'Pay, if you are owing anything!'

His fellow-servant, falling down, therefore, was entreating him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you!

And he would not; but, going away, he cast him into prison, till he should pay what was due.

"Then, calling him to him, his lord says to him, 'Evil servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.

And, being angry, his lord delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all the debt.

And large multitudes followed Him; and He healed them there.

And the Pharisees came to Him, tempting Him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause"

They say to Him, "Why, then, did Moses command to give her a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?"

The disciples say to Him, "If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."

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

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

And, behold, one, having come near, said to Him, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

And He said to him, "Why do you question Me concerning the good? One is the Good. But, if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

He says to Him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness;

The young man says to Him, "I observed all these things; what yet do I lack?"

Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me."

Then Peter, answering, said to Him, "Behold, we left all, and followed Thee; what, then, shall we have?"

They say to him, 'Because no man hired us.' He says to them, 'Go ye also into the vineyard.'

And, when about to go up to Jerusalem, Jesus took with Him the twelve disciples privately, and on the way He said to them,

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the high-priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death;

and will deliver Him up to the gentiles, to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and, on the third day, He will be raised up "

Then came to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshiping and asking something of Him.

And He said to her, "What do you wish?" She says to Him, "Command, that these my two sons may sit, one on Thy right hand, and one on Thy left, in Thy Kingdom."

But Jesus, answering, said, "Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They say to Him, "We are able."

And, as they were going forth from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

They say to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened."

And, moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and straightway they received sight; and followed Him.

And the multitudes, who were going before Him, and those who were following, were crying, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

And the blind and lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

and said to Him, "Dost Thou hear what these are saying?" And Jesus saith to them, "Yes; did ye never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst perfect praise!'"

And, when He came into the temple, the high-priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority art Thou doing these things? And who gave Thee this authority?"

The immersion of John??hence was it? from Heaven or from men?" And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why, then, did ye not believe him?'

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the tax-collectors and the harlots believed him; but ye, having seen him, did not even repent afterward, that ye might believe him."

But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance!'

And, taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

They say to Him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons."

And he who falls on this stone shall be broken in pieces; but on whomsoever it falls, it will scatter him as dust."

And, while seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes, since they were holding Him as a prophet.

and he says to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having on a wedding-garment?' And He was speechless.

Then said the king to the attendants, 'Having bound his feet and hands, cast him forth into the outer darkness:' there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth!

Then the Pharisees, going, took counsel how they might ensnare Him in speech.

And they send to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that Thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one; for Thou dost not look into the face of men:

Show me the tribute-coin." And they brought Him a denary.

They say to Him, "Caesar's." Then saith He to them, "Render, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God."

And, hearing it, they wondered: and, leaving Him, they went away.

On that day there came to Him Sadducees, those saying there is no resurrection, and questioned Him,

And the multitudes, hearing Him, were astonished at His teaching.

and one of them, a lawyer, asked a question, tempting Him:

And He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

saying, "What think ye concerning the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They say to Him, "David's."

He saith to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying,

If, then, David calls Him Lord, how is He his Son?"

And no one was able to answer Him a word; nor did any one dare from that day to question Him any more.
