And when he came down from the mount, great multitudes did follow him,

And behold, a leper came up to him and did him homage, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.

Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so: "I am willing; become clean." Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;

And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, 'Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;

and He did but touch her hand, and the fever left her; and she rose up and waited on them.

And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill,

that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.'

And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him,

But he said to them, "Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm.

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

Suddenly, they screamed, "What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the proper time?"

and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.

but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

"No one ever sews a piece of undressed cloth on an old cloak. If they did, the patch put on to fill it up would tear away from the cloak, and the rent be made worse.

Also, people do not put freshly squeezed grape juice into bottles made of previously used animal skins. If they did, the [old dried-out] animal skins would break open and the grape juice would [all] leak out, and the animal skins would become useless. But people put freshly squeezed grape juice into newly prepared animal skin bottles. That way both of them will survive."

While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments,

He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

But after the crowd was sent outside, Jesus entered [her room, along with her parents and three of His disciples. See Mark 5:37-40] and took her by the hand, and the young lady rose up [from the dead].

but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all that land.

and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that 'It was never so seen in Israel:'

Never did it so appear in Israel. And the Pharisees continued to say, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

And [when he] saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd.

Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.

These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out in the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind [which is commonplace]?

What did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing [entirely unsuited for the harsh desert]? Those who wear soft clothing are in the palaces of kings!

But what did you [really] go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one [more eminent, more remarkable, and] far more than a prophet [who foretells the future].

for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,

"To what can I compare the people living today? They're like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,

and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn.

For John did not come eating or drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’

Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.

And you, Capernaum, are you to be exalted to heaven [for your apathy and unresponsiveness]? You will descend to Hades (the realm of the dead); for if the miracles done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Yes Father, you did this because it was very pleasing to you.

At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

'Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

And how much is a man better then a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the Sabbath day."

and did charge them that they might not make him manifest,

'Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare,

Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, - and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.

'But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons, then come already unto you did the reign of God.

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment and condemn the people living today, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look something greater than Jonah is here!

The queen of the south will stand up and condemn the people living today, because she came from so far away to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look! Something greater than Solomon is here!"

and gathered together unto him were many multitudes, so that he having gone into the boat did sit down, and all the multitude on the beach did stand,

and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them,

And other [seed] fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once because it did not have [any] depth of soil.

But [when] the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have [enough] root, it withered.

and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them,

But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, - this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.

for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.

for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see them, and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear them.

The servants of the owner came to him and said, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have weeds in it?’

And he saith to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Wilt thou, then, that having gone away we may gather it up?

Another simile he set before them, saying: 'The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did sow in his field,

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,

Then the people who did what was right will shine out like the sun in their Father's kingdom. The person who has ears [to hear with] ought to listen [to this] carefully.

'Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field.

'Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind,

which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out,

At the end of the world it will be that same way. The angels will come and divide the sinful people from the ones who did what was right,

Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.'

And after coming to [Nazareth] His hometown, He began teaching them in their synagogue, and they were astonished, and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers [what is the source of His authority]?

And His sisters, are they not [living here] among us? Where then did this Man get all this [wisdom and power]?”

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife,

But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,

and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.

And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;

And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.

and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to him and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
