It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is put in the earth, is smaller than all the seeds on the earth,

And without a story he said nothing to them: but privately to his disciples he made all things clear.

And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, Why are you full of fear? have you still no faith?

And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

Now on the mountain side there was a great herd of pigs getting their food.

And they said to him, Send us into the pigs, so that we may go into them.

And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

For she said, If I may only put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be free from your disease.

But Jesus, giving no attention to their words, said to the ruler of the Synagogue, Have no fear, only have faith.

And when he had gone in, he said to them, Why are you making such a noise and weeping? The child is not dead, but sleeping.

And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

And Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour, but in his country, and among his relations, and in his family.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

And he said to them, Wherever you go into a house, make that your resting-place till you go away.

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even like one of the prophets.

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

And straight away he made his disciples get into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Beth-saida, while he himself sent the people away.

For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;

And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.

And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side.

And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

And they said to one another, We have no bread.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?

And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.

And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.

But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

And he said, What are you questioning them about?

And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?

And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.

But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?

And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and takes another, is false to his wife;

And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.

And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.
