And one day, as He was teaching, there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal the people:

and behold, some men bringing on a couch a man that was paralytic; and they endeavoured to bring him in, and lay him before Him:

And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great number of publicans, and others at table with them.

And it came to pass on the second-sabbath after the first, that as He was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and ate them.

And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that He went into a synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, whose right hand was withered.

And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.

And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:

and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor:)

he is like a man who in building an house digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood came, the torrent beat violently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded upon a rock.

But he that heareth and observeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the ground without any foundation, which the flood beat violently upon, and immediately it fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.

whom he had a great value for, was ill and ready to die;

So Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to Him, saying Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof:

and as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carrying out to be buried, his mother's only son, and she was a widow: and many of the people of the city were with her.

And when the Lord saw her, He was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Do not weep.

And this report of Him was spread through all Judea, and in all the country round about.

and sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?

And the men came to Him, and said, John the baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou He that was to come, or are we to expect another?

And behold a woman in the city, that was a sinner, when she knew that He was at table in the pharisee's house,

And when a great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,

A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he was sowing, some fell by the way-side, and was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

and it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee.

And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And when He was landed, there met Him a man out of the city, who had been possessed by demons a long while, and wore no clothes, and abode in no dwelling but the tombs.

(For He commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely places.)

but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer them to enter into them, and He permitted them.

And when those that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:

and the people went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus; and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind:

and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.

And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, and intreated Him to come into his house:

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded Him:

but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that touched me?

And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

While He was yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.

And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.

And her parents were exceedingly astonished: but He charged them to tell no one what was done.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things that were done by Him; and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead;

and by some that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

And they did eat, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up what remained even of fragments twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as He was praying in private, his disciples were with Him: and He asked them saying, Whom say the people that I am?

And as He was praying the form of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and glistering:

who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at Jerusalem.

And as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.

And when the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it to themselves, and told no one at that time any of the things which they had seen.

And as he was coming along, the devil bruised and convulsed him: but Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not, and they were afraid to ask Him concerning it.

But they would not entertain Him, because his face was towards Jerusalem.

And as they were going by the way, there was one said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest:

After these things the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before Him, into every city and place, whither He himself was about to come.

At this time Jesus was transported with joy in his spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father, for such was thy good pleasure.

And Jesus replying said, There was a certain man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thieves, who after they had stripped and beaten him, went away, leaving him half dead.

But a certain Samaritan, as he was travelling, came up to him, and when He saw him,

he was moved with compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

Which now of these three dost thou think was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?

And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb: and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the people wondered.

As He was speaking these things, a certain woman lifted up her voice from amidst the croud, and said, Happy is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck!

for as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

And when the pharisee saw it he wondered that He did not wash first, before dinner.

As He was saying these things unto them the scribes and pharisees began vehemently to attack Him, and urge Him to speak of many things,

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,

there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.

And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

It is like leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

behold, there was a certain man before Him that had a dropsy.

all that see it, should deride him, saying, this man began to build and was not able to finish.

saying, What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after that which was lost, till he find it?

and coming home, he calleth his friends and neighbors together and saith unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

And he rose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion; and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

for this my son was dead, and is alive again, and was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

But his elder son was out in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:

And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and well: but he was angry, and would not go in.

but as soon as this thy son was come, who hath eaten up thy substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

But it was fit we should be merry and rejoice; for this thy brother was dead, and is come to life again, was lost and is found.

And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.

and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give you that which is your own?

Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.

And there was a poor man named Lazarus,

who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,

and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.

Is he obliged to that servant for doing what he was ordered?

And as He was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee;

And one of them, perceiving that he was healed, returned, with a loud voice glorifying God:

and fell prostrate at his feet, giving Him thanks; and He was a Samaritan.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

And as it was likewise in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, and building:

saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.

And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.

But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?

But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.

And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.

So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,

and behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief publican, and very rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who He was; but he could not for the croud; for he was little of stature.

And he ran before and got up into a sycamore-tree that he might see Him; for He was to pass by that way.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

And as they listened to these things, He proceeded and spake a parable; because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately be manifested.
