And when he came forth upon the land, a certain man met him out of the city, who had demons of a considerable time. And he wore no clothing, and did not dwell in a house, but in the sepulchers.

And when he saw Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before him. And in a great voice he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man, for many times it had seized him. And he was bound with chains and shackles, and guarded. And breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desolate regi

And Jesus demanded him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him.

And they entreated him that he would not command them to to out into the abyss.

Now a herd of considerable swine was there feeding on the mountain, and they implored him that he would allow them to enter into those. And he allowed them.

And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them, because they were gripped by great fear. And he, having embarked into the boat, returned.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,

Return to thy house, and relate everything God did for thee. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city how many things Jesus did for him.

And it came to pass during Jesus returning, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.

And behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And having fallen down near Jesus' feet, he besought him to come into his house,

because there was with him an only begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But during his going the multitudes thronged him.

And Jesus said, Who is he who touched me? But when they all denied, Peter and those with him, said, Master, the multitudes come together and crowd thee, and thou say, Who is he who touched me?

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling. And having fallen down before him, she declared to him in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

While he still spoke, some man comes from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Thy daughter has died. Do not trouble the teacher.

But having heard it, Jesus answered him, saying, Fear not, only believe and she will be saved.

And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died.

But Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead,

And Herod said, I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

And when the apostles returned, they related to him as many things as they did. And having taken them along, he withdrew in private into a desolate place of a city called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes having known, they followed him. And having received them, he spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.

And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, they said to him, Send the multitude away, so that, after going into the villages and fields around, they may rest and find provision, because we are here in a desolate

And it came to pass, as he was praying privately, the disciples were with him. And he questioned them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he said to all, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

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

But Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep, and having become awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, and we could make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he was sayi

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

And lo, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him with foaming. And it departs from him difficultly, injuring him.

And as he was still a coming, the demon tore him, and he convulsed. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But having perceived the thought of their heart, having taken a child, Jesus stood it beside him,

and he said to them, Whoever may receive this child in my name receives me, and whoever may receive me receives him who sent me, for he who exists smaller among you all, this man will be great.

And having answered, John said, Master, we saw a certain man casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.

But Jesus said to him, Do not forbid, for he who is not against us is for us.

And he sent agents before his face, and they went. And having gone, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to make ready for him.

And they did not receive him, because his face was going to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass while they went on the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou may go, Lord.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has not where he might lay his head.

But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God.

But Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to a plow, and looking to things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him, and if not, it will return to you.

He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up testing him, and saying, Teacher, having done what, would I inherit eternal life?

And he said to him, What is written in the law? How read thou?

And he said to him, Thou answered correctly. Do this and thou will live.

And having replied, Jesus said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. And he encountered bandits, who also, having stripped him and having beat him, departed having left him being half dead.

And by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to him, and when he saw him, felt compassion.

And having come, he wrapped up his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. And having set him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And on the morrow when departing, after taking out two denarii, he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatever thou might spend more, I will repay thee at my return.

And he said, He who did mercy with him. Therefore Jesus said to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

And it came to pass as they went, he also entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, that when he ceased, a certain man of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

And he said to them, Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

since a friend arrived from the road to me, and I do not have what I would set before him,

I say to you, though he will not give him, after getting up, because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, having awaken, he will give him as many as he needs.

For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

And which father of you, if the son will ask a loaf, will give him a stone, or also if a fish, in place of a fish will give him a serpent?

Or if he should ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more the Father from heaven will give Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

And others, challenging, sought from him a sign from the sky.

When the fully armed strong man guards his palace, the things possessed by him are in peace,

but when a stronger than he comes, after defeating him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted, and divides his booty.

And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman, having lifted up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the belly that bore thee, and the breasts that thou suckled.

Now as he spoke a certain Pharisee asks him that he might dine with him. And having entered in, he sat down.

And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your interior is full of plundering and wickedness.

And having answered, a certain man of the lawyers says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou rebuke us also.

And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things,

waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.

But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him.

And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,

And every man who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.

And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.

But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?

And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.

But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?

and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.

And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?

Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him.

the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.

but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.

For when thou go with thine opponent to the magistrate on the way give effort to be delivered from him, lest he may drag thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer would cast thee into prison.

Now some were present at the same time who informed him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.

And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.

But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?

And as he said these things all those opposing him were shamed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And a certain man said to him, Lord, are they few who are being saved? And he said to them,

In the same day some Pharisees came, saying to him, Get thee out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill thee.

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.

But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.

And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the Sabbath?

And they could not answer him back to these things.

When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.

And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.

And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made

And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.
