For he and all who were with him were astonished at the haul of fish which they had taken,

And bringing their boats onto land, forsaking all things, they followed Him.

And it happened, as He was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy! And seeing Jesus, he fell on his face and begged Him, saying, Lord, if You will, You can cleanse me.

And stretching out the hand, He touched him, saying, I will! Be clean! And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

And He commanded him, Tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But the word about Him spread even more. And great crowds were coming to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities by Him.

And behold, men carrying, on a cot, a man who was paralyzed. And they sought to bring him in and to lay him before Him.

And not finding a way by which they might bring him in through the crowd, going up on the housetop, they let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst, before Jesus.

And seeing their faith, He said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.

And after these things He went out and saw a tax-collector named Levi, sitting at the tax-office. And He said to him, Follow Me.

And leaving all, he rose up and followed Him.

And Levi made a great feast in his own house for Him. And there was a great company of tax-collectors and of others who were reclining with them.

And they said to Him, Why do John's disciples fast often and make prayers, and also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?

And answering, Jesus said to them, Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

how he went into the house of God and took the showbread, and ate (and also gave to those who were with him) which it is not lawful to eat, except for the priests alone?

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him to see if He would heal on the sabbath day, so that they might find an accusation against Him.

And coming down with them, He stood on a level place. And a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon (who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases) were there;

And all the crowd sought to touch Him, for power went out of Him and healed them all.

And to him who strikes you on the one cheek, also offer the other. And to him who takes away your garment, do not forbid your tunic also.

Give to everyone who asks of you, and from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them again.

And a certain servant of a centurion who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent the elders of the Jews to Him, begging Him that He would come and heal his servant.

And coming to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that he was worthy, he for whom You give this;

Then Jesus went with them. But He being yet not far off from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, Lord, do not trouble Yourself. For I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

And hearing these things, Jesus marveled at him. And turning to the crowd following Him, He said, I say to you, I have not found such faith, no, not in Israel.

And it happened on the next day, He went into a city called Nain. And many of His disciples and a great crowd went with Him.

And He came and touched the bier. And the ones who bore him stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, Arise!

And the one who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother.

And this report of Him went out in all Judea, and in all the neighborhood.

And coming to Him, the men said, John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, Are You He who should come, or do we look for another?

And all the people and the tax-collectors who heard Him justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.

And one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And going into the Pharisee's house, He reclined.

And she stood behind Him, weeping at His feet, and she began to wash His feet with tears and wipe them with the hair of her head. And she ardently kissed His feet and anointed them with the ointment.

But seeing this, the Pharisee who had invited Him, spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, for she is a sinner.

And answering, Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, speak.

And they having nothing to pay, he freely forgave both. Then which of them do you say will love him most?

And answering, Simon said, I suppose that one to whom he forgave most. And He said to him, You have judged rightly.

And those reclining with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

And it happened afterwards, He traveled in every city and village, proclaiming and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God. And the Twelve were with Him,

and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to Him of their possessions.

And a great crowd coming together, and those in each city coming to Him, He spoke by a parable:

And other fell on good ground and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when He had said these things, He cried, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?

Therefore be careful how you hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.

And His mother and His brothers came to Him. And they could not come near Him because of the crowd.

And it was told to Him by some, who said, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside desiring to see You.

And they came to Him and awakened Him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing! Then being aroused, He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.

And He said to them, Where is your faith? And being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this One? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!

And seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him and said with a loud voice, What is to me and to You, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I beseech You, Do not torment me!

(For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had seized him. And he had been kept bound in chains and in fetters, and he broke the bands and was driven into the deserted places by the demons.)

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is your name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.

And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.

And there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain. And they begged Him that He would allow them to enter into them. And He allowed them.

And all the multitude of the neighborhood of the Gadarenes were seized with a great fear, and asked Him to depart from them. And entering into the boat, He returned.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone out begged Him, desiring to be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

Return to your own house and declare what God has done to you. And he went his way and proclaimed throughout all the city what great things Jesus had done to him.

And it happened when Jesus had returned, the people received Him. For they were all waiting for Him.

And behold, a man named Jairus came, and he was a synagogue-ruler. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him that He would come into his house.

For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as He went, the people thronged Him.

came behind Him and touched the border of His garment. And instantly her flow of blood was staunched.

And Jesus said, Who touched Me? And all having denied, Peter and those with Him said, Master, the crowd presses and jostles You, and You say, Who touched Me?

And seeing that she was not hidden, the woman came trembling. And falling down before Him, she declared to Him before all the people why she had touched Him, and how she was instantly healed.

He was still speaking when someone came from the synagogue-ruler, saying to him, Your daughter is dead, do not trouble the Teacher.

But when Jesus heard, He answered Him, saying, Do not fear, only believe and she shall be healed.

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things happening by Him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;

And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see Him.

And returning, the apostles told Him all that they had done. And He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

But knowing this, the crowds followed Him. And He received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and He healed those who had need of healing.

But the day began to wear away, and coming up the Twelve said to Him, Send the crowd away so that they may go into the villages and farms all around, and lodge, and get food. For we are here in a deserted place.

And it happened as He was alone praying, the disciples were with Him. And He asked them, saying, Whom do the crowds say that I am?

And He said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him when He shall come in His own and in His Father's glory, and that of the holy angels.

And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep. But fully awakening, they saw His glory, and the two men who stood with Him.

And in their parting from Him, it happened that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said.

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him.

And it happened on the next day, they coming down from the mountain, a huge crowd met Him.

And lo, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out. And it throws him into convulsions, with foaming, and with pain departs from him, bruising him.

And I begged Your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

And as he was still coming, the demon violently convulsed and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father.

But they did not understand this, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it. And they feared to ask Him of this word.

And seeing the argument of their heart, Jesus took a child and set him beside Him.

And He said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in My name receives Me. And whoever shall receive Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all, he shall be great.

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your name. And we prevented him, because he does not follow us.

And Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for he who is not against us is for us.

And He sent messengers before His face. And they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.

And they did not receive Him, because His face was going toward Jerusalem.

And it happened as they were going in the way, one said to Him, Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

The one hearing you hears Me, and he who despises you despises Me; he who rejects you also rejects Him who sent Me.

All things are delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son will reveal Him.

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it?

And He said to him, You have answered right; do this and you shall live.

And answering, Jesus said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

And by coincidence a certain priest came down that way and seeing him, he passed by on the opposite side.

And in the same way a Levite, also being at the place, coming and seeing him, he passed on the opposite side.
