And they understood not the thing that he said to them.

And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?

forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.

and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

And they were all filled with rage in the synagogue, hearing these things;

and rising up they cast him forth out of the city, and led him up to the brow of the mountain upon which their city was built, so that they might throw him down the precipice;

And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with authority.

And astonishment came upon all, and they spoke to one another, saying, What word is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

And rising up out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon. But Simon's mother-in-law was suffering under a bad fever; and they asked him for her.

and demons also went out from many, crying out and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.

And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.

For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;

And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.

And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put him before him.

And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.

And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.

And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?

But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.

And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.

But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:

And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank is it to you? for even sinners lend to sinners that they may receive the like.

But they, being come to Jesus, besought him diligently, saying, He is worthy to whom thou shouldest grant this,

And they who had been sent returning to the house found the bondman, who was ill, in good health.

And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.

To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

but as they had nothing to pay, he forgave both of them their debt: say, which of them therefore will love him most?

And they that were with them at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins?

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.

But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away.

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger;

and coming to him they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit.

And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.

But they that fed them, seeing what had happened, fled, and told it to the city and to the country.

And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.

And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.

And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and he, entering into the ship, returned.

And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him.

And they derided him, knowing that she had died.

And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.

And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into a desert place of a city called Bethsaida.

But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and into the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all this people;

for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

And they did so, and made them all sit down.

And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.

But they answering said, John the baptist; but others, Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

But I say unto you of a truth, There are some of those standing here who shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.

But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who 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 Elias: not knowing what he said.

But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud:

And as the voice was heard Jesus was found alone: and they kept silence, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

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

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

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

And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

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

And they went to another village.

And it came to pass as they went in the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wheresoever thou goest, Lord.

And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,

But into whatsoever city ye may have entered and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And it came to pass as they went that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons by whom do they cast them out? For this reason they shall be your judges.

Then he goes and takes seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas is here.

But no one having lit a lamp sets it in secret, nor under the corn-measure, but on the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,

watching him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

In those times, the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;

But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.

But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;

Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?

Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.

and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.

but he who knew it not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom men have committed much, they will ask from him the more.

And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom of God.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, who was of the Pharisees, to eat bread on the sabbath, that they were watching him.

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not the means to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
