For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. (But as he was going, the people thronged him.

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead: trouble not the Master.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be healed.

And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;

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

And the apostles, when they had returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place, belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?

And he said to them all, If any man will 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, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

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

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.

And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.

And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us, is for us.

And 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 as though he would go to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

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

He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he 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 readest thou?

And he said to him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

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

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?

And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one 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 shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:

For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

And others tempting him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

Then he goeth and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

And it came to pass, as he was speaking these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps which nourished thee.

And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.

And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.

And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to solicit him to speak of many things;

Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.

But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.

Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.

And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?

But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

And ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.

Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all?

In truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

But he that knew not, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.

When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he draw thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity.

The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them,

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Go out, and depart hence; for Herod will kill thee.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.

And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

And they held their peace. And he took him and healed him, and let him go;

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?

And they could not answer him again to these things.

When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;

And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,

Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
