(the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yd you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha, which means, Be opened.

In those days, the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them:

And his disciples answered him: Whence will any one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in the wilderness?

And the Pharisees came out, and began to put questions to him, asking of him a sign from heaven, that they might tempt him.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to him: Twelve.

And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought to him a blind man, and besought him to touch him.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. And he spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw any thing.

Then he again laid his hands on his eyes, and made him look up. And he was restored, and saw all things clearly.

And he sent him away to his house, and said: Neither go into the village, nor tell it to any one in the village.

And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.

And he charged them to tell no one concerning him.

And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever determines to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever will be ashamed of me, and my words, in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him the Son of man also will be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up alone into a high mountain apart; and he was transfigured before them;

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came from the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And they asked him, saying: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

But I say to you, that Elijah has already come, and they have clone to him what they wished: [as it is written of him.]

And at once, all the multitude, on seeing him, were struck with awe, and ran to him and saluted him.

And wherever it seizes him, it throws him into convulsions; and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to your disciples to cast him out, and they were not able.

And he answered them, and said: faithless generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.

And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled himself, foaming.

And he asked his father: How long is it since this came upon him? He replied: From childhood.

And often it throws him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if you are able to do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

Jesus said to him: If you are able to believe, all things are possible to him that believes.

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to it: Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more.

And the spirit cried out, and threw him into strong convulsions, and came out of him; and he was like one dead, so that many said: He is dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up, and he arose.

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why were we not able to cast it out?

For he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and after he is put to death, he will rise on the third day.

But they did not understand this saying, and they were afraid to question him.

Whoever will receive one of such children on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.

And John answered him and said: Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he does not follow us: and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.

But Jesus said: Forbid him not; for there is no one that will do a mighty deed in my name, and be able readily to speak evil of me.

And whoever will ensnare one of these little ones that believe on me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And he arose and went thence into the borders of Judea, by the other side of the Jordan. And the multitudes again came together to him; and, as his custom was, he taught them again.

And the Pharisees came to him, and that they might tempt him, asked him the question: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

And in the house, his disciples again asked him about the same matter.

And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And as he was going forth into the road, one ran and bowed the knee to him, and asked him: Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is God.

He answered and said to him: Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.

And Jesus, looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing you lack; go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and fol low me.

And Peter began to say to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.

And they were in the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what was about to befall him.

Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles;

and they will deride him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.

And James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him, and said: Teacher, we desire you to do for us whatever we shall ask.

They said to him: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy glory.

They said to him: "We are able. Jesus said to them: You shall drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed.

But Jesus called them to him, and said to them: You know that those who think they rule the Gentiles, act as lords over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

And many rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried out yet the more: Son of David, have mercy on me!

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, and said to him: Take courage; arise, he calls you.

And Jesus answered and said to him: What do you wish me to do for you? The blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

And Jesus said to him: Go, your faith has saved you. And he immediately received his sight, and followed Jesus on the road.

and said to them: Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him and bring him.

And if any say to you: "Why are you doing this? say that the Lord has need of him; and he will immediately send him hither.

And they went and found the colt tied near the door without, in the street. And they loosed him.

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put their mantles upon him, and he sat on him.

And the scribes and the chief priests heard him; and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude were astonished at his teaching.

And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered.

And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders,

and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things?

And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him?

And they took him and scourged him, and sent him away without any thing.

And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they scourged, and some they killed.

Therefore, having yet one son, his beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying, They will reverence my son.

But those vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

And they sought to take him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them; and they left him, and went away.

And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in his words.

And they came and said to him: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you care for no one; for you do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

They brought it; and he said to them: Whose image and superscription is this? They said to him: Caesar's.

And Jesus answered and said to them: Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s. And they were astonished at him.

And the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and put a question to him, saying:

But concerning the dead, that they do rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

And one of the scribes came, and heard them reasoning together; and perceiving that he had answered them well, he asked him: Which is the first commandment of all?

And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

And the scribe said to him: Teacher, in truth you have well said, that there is one God, and there is no other beside him;

and to love him with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.

And Jesus perceiving that he answered with understanding, said to him: You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one, after that, ventured to ask him a question.

David himself, then, calls him Lord; and how is he his son? And the great multitude heard him with pleasure.

And he called his disciples to him, and said to them: Verily I say to you, this poor widow has thrown in more than all that have thrown into the treasury.

And as he was going out from the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Teacher, see what stones and what buildings!

And Jesus answering, said to him: Do you see these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:

But when you see that detestable thing that makes desolate, which is spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

let not him that is on the house-top go down into his house, nor enter in to take any thing from his house;

and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his mantle.

And then, if any one say to you: Lo! here is the Christ, or, Lo! there; believe him not.

After two days was the passover and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and kill him.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him up to them.

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him up.

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said to him: Where dost thou wish that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: The Teacher says, "Where is the room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples?
