And Jesus immediately knowing in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?

in what respect is it easier to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven you, than to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk?

I tell you, arise, take your bed and go to your house.

And he was raised up and immediately taking his bed he went away before all; so that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never saw the like.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fasted. And they came and said to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and your disciples fast not?

And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if he does the wine breaks the bottles, and the wine and the bottles are destroyed.

How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the chief priest, and eat the show bread, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

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

And looking around on them in anger, being grieved at the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

and the impure spirits when they saw him fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God.

And a multitude sat around him. And they said to him, Behold your mother, and your brothers, and your sisters seek you without.

And he answered them and said, Who is my mother, or my brothers?

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land.

And some fell on a rocky place, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth;

And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables;

And these are those where the word is sown by the way; and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word which was sown upon them.

And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy,

and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [disciples]. Then, when affliction or persecution occurs on account of the word, they are immediately offended.

And those sown among thorns are different. They are those who hear the word,

And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said to them, Does a light come to be put under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], or under a bed? and not to be put in a candlestick?

And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? or with what parable shall I present it?

And dismissing the multitude, they took him as he was in the ship; and other ships also were with him.

And he said to them, Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith?

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another, What man is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?

for he was often bound with fetters and chains, and his chains were broken by him, and his fetters crushed, and no one could subdue him.

And he asked him, What is your name? And he said to him, My name is Legion, for we are many.

And Jesus immediately permitted them. And the impure spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, about two thousand, and were drowned in the lake.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac who had the legion, sitting down, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

and he permitted him not, but said to him, Go to your home, to your friends, and relate to them what the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you.

And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has cured you; go in peace, and be well of your plague.

And while he was yet speaking persons came from the house of the synagogue ruler, saying, Your daughter is dead; why trouble the teacher?

And they derided him. And putting them all out, he took the father and mother of the little child, and those with him, and went in where the little child was;

and immediately the girl arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

And when it was the sabbath, he taught in the synagogue; and many heard him and were astonished, and said, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him? And [what are] these mighty works done by his hands?

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

but to wear sandals, and not to put on two coats.

And he said to them, Where you enter into a house, there remain till you go out thence.

And whatever place will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out thence shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

And Herod the king, heard [of Jesus], for his name was widely known, and said, John the Baptist has risen from the dead; and on this account the mighty works are performed by him.

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

And he said to them, Come to a solitary place by yourselves, and rest a little; for many were coming and going, and there was no convenient time to eat.

And going out he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he taught them much.

And they all eat, and were filled;

And they that eat the bread were five thousand men.

for they all saw and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Be of good courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were astonished in themselves above measure, and wondered;

and ran about through that whole country, and brought those that were sick on beds where they heard that he was.

And wherever he went, in villages, or cities, or country places, they placed the sick in the markets, and besought him that they might touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as touched him were cured.

And from a market, unless they baptize they eat not; and there are many other [customs] which they have received to hold; baptisms, of cups and sextuses [

And the Pharisees and scribes asked, Why do not your disciples conform to the tradition of the elders; but eat bread with defiled hands?

And he said to them, Well do you reject the commandment of God, to keep your tradition;

for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother, and, He that reviles father or mother, let him surely die.

But you say, If a man says to his father or mother, It is a corban, which is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me, [he shall be free];

and suffer him no longer to do any thing for his father or his mother;

making the word of God of no effect by your tradition which you have delivered; and many such things you do.

Nothing which being out of a man entering into him, can defile him; but those things which proceed from the man, these are the things which defile the man.

And he said to them, Are you also so without understanding? Do you not understand that nothing which enters into a man from without can defile him,

And he said to her, For this speech, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.

And immediately his ears were opened, and the cord of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke correctly.

And they were astonished above measure, and said, He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

and if I send them fasting to their homes, they will faint by the way, for some of them are from afar.

And they eat and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained over, seven store-baskets;

and they were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.

And Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart hardened?

And he asked them, And who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him, You are the Christ.

And he said to them, I tell you truly, that there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God having come with power.

for he knew not what he answered, for they were afraid.

And immediately all the multitude seeing him, were highly pleased, and ran forward and saluted him.

And he asked, What were you disputing about with them?

and wherever it takes him it convulses him, and he foams and grates his teeth, and becomes emaciated. And I spoke to your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.

and it often casts him into fire, and into waters, to destroy him; but if you are able, help us, and have mercy on us.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able? all things are possible to him that believes.

And they understood not the word, and were afraid to ask him.

And they were silent; for they had disputed with each other on the way as to who was the greatest.

And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him.

and whoever gives you a cup of water because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward.

And if your hand offends you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the inextinguishable fire.

And if your foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell.

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell,

where the worm dies not and the fire is not extinguished.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your hardness of heart, he wrote you this ordinance;

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

You know the commandments; You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not testify falsely, You shall not defraud, Honor your father and mother.

And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack; go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in heaven; and come and take up your cross and follow me.

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, Children, with what difficulty shall those who trust in riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were greatly astonished, and said to themselves, Who then can be saved?

Jesus looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.

Jesus said, I tell you truly, there is no one who has left a house, or brothers, or sisters, or a mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,

And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him;

And they said to him, Grant us that we may sit one on your right hand, and the other on your left, in your glory.

And Jesus said to them, You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the cup of which I drink? or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?

but to sit on my right hand, or left, is not mine to give but to those for whom it is prepared.

And the ten, hearing this, were displeased with James and John.

but it shall not be so with you. But whoever wishes to be great among you, let him be your minister;

And Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. And he immediately received sight, and followed him in the way.

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David, which is coming! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!

And the scribes and chief priests came and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his teaching.

And when you stand praying, forgive if you have any thing against any, that your Father in heaven may also forgive your offenses.

and said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do them?
