And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

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 he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

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.

And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

When she had news of the things which Jesus did, went among the people coming after him, and put her hand on his robe.

For she had told herself, "If only I can touch his clothing, I will be healed."

And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was 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 on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

Before he had done speaking, messengers came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said, "your daughter is dead, why do you give the master any further trouble?"

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 they derided him: but when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

Jesus had been telling them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own home."

And he was greatly surprised because they had no faith. And he went about the country places teaching.

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

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not permitted for you to have your brother's wife."

So Herodias had it in for him and wanted to have him killed. But she could not have it done,

because Herod had a respect for John, knowing him to be a very honest good man, and therefore protected him; having reform'd many things upon his remonstrances, which he us'd to receive very graciously.

And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;

When the daughter of Herodias had come in and danced and pleased Herod, and his guests, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

When she had left the room she said to her mother, "What shall I ask him for?" But she said, "The head of John the baptizer."

And the king became very distressed [over such a gruesome request], but because he had promised her with oaths, and [to keep from looking bad] in front of his party guests, he did not refuse her [request].

Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

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 he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

And the hour had already become late [when] his disciples came up to him, saying, "The place is desolate and the hour [is] already late.

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 when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.

And they all took of the food and had enough.

All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.

And they that had eaten of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

Jesus immediately had his disciples get into a boat and cross to Bethsaida ahead of him, while he sent the crowd away.

And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer.

Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while He was alone on land.

And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

When they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

for they understood not by the loaves, - but their, heart, had been, hardened.

And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.

And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him,

And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you, and understand.

17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.

And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.

And he arose and went thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And entring into an house, he would have had no man know it; but he could not be hid.

But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

She was a heathen who spoke Greek and had been born in Syro-Phenicia. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

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,

I am concern'd for this people, they have been with me now three days without having had any thing to eat.

And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, [after he] had given thanks he broke [them] and began giving [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.

And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

Jesus had been warning them, "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.

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?

Then He instructed them for the first time that the Son of Man had to endure great suffering and be disowned by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, and be killed but rise again after three days.

But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

And when he had called the people to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And after six days had passed, Jesus took Peter, James and John aside alone and went up to a high mountain [i.e., probably Mt. Tabor, which was nearby]. [There] His whole appearance was [miraculously] changed in front of them.

for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.

And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.

and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

And he asked his father how long it was since this had been happening to him. And he said, "From childhood.

And many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou canst anything, help us, having had compassion upon us.

And the spirit cried, and rent him sore and came out: And he was as one that had been dead, insomuch that many 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?

for he was explaining to his disciples that the Son of man was to be betrayed into the hands of men, and that they would put him to death, but that after he had been put to death, he would rise again after three days,

Then Jesus and His disciples came to Capernaum [Note: This city on the northwest shore of Lake Galilee had become sort of a headquarters for Jesus when He was in this region]. When He [and His disciples] entered a house He asked them, "What were you discussing on the way here?"

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

And he took a young child [and] had him stand {among them}. And taking him in his arms, he said to them,

but if any one shall cause the meanest of those, who believe in me, to transgress, it had been better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

Some of the people were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

Then after he had hugged the children, he tenderly blessed them as he laid his hands on them.

And when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Jesus beheld him, and had a favour to him, and said unto him, "One thing is lacking unto thee. Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me, and take up thy cross on thee."

But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.

When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

Then Peter started to say to Him, "We have left everything we had and followed you."

Now Jesus and his disciples had been on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking ahead of them. They were astonished, and the others who followed were afraid.

and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

When they were getting near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead,

And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.
