and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.'

And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,

and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'

And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:

who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

and he was questioning him, 'What is thy name?' and he answered, saying, 'Legion is my name, because we are many;'

and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,

And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

and he was calling upon him much, saying -- 'My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her thy hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'

and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.

And he was looking round to see her who did this,

and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, 'Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- 'John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

And Herod having heard, said -- 'He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation -- and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it,

And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'

And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude.

and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;

and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

Afterwards again he put his hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, 'Who do men say me to be?'

and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves, alone, and he was transfigured before them,

for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing -- foaming.

and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'

And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'

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.

and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

and having taken them in his arms, having put his hands upon them, he was blessing them.

And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?'

And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging,

and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.'

and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,

'And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 'Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch one hour!

daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'

and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about his naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire.

and neither so was their testimony alike.

and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, 'Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?'

and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, 'And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!'

and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, 'Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'

and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- 'Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping.

And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner, whomsoever they were asking;

and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them,

and it was the third hour, and they crucified him;

and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- 'The King of the Jews.'

and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, 'And with lawless ones he was numbered.'

and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom,

and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'

And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath,

Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
