And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his food.

And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go thence.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart from that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given to you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that publish ye upon the house-tops.

And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Verily, I say to you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.

All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Come to me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me: for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

But he said to them, Have ye not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him;

How he entered into the house of God, and ate the show-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them who were with him, but only for the priests?

Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself, shall not stand.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your children expel them? therefore they shall be your judges.

Or else, how can one enter into a strong man's house, and seize his goods, except he shall first bind the strong man? and then he will plunder his house.

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.

But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

And great multitudes were gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had not root, they withered.

For this people's heart is become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, forthwith he is offended.

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

Then they that were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, In truth thou art the son of God.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the surrounding country, and brought to him all that were diseased;

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were restored to health.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying,

But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

But ye say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me;

And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

Then came his disciples, and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying?

Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both will fall into the ditch.

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

And great multitudes came to him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

And they all ate and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that were left seven baskets full.

And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

But he turned, and said to Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan; thou art an offense to me: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but those that are of men.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they shall see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were in great fear.

And as they were descending the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be raised again from the dead.

And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

And they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised again: And they were exceedingly grieved.

And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute-money, came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?

He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?

Peter saith to him, From strangers. Jesus saith to him, Then are the children free.

But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me, to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to sin, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

He saith to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then were brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

But Jesus beheld them, and said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many are called, but few chosen.

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say to him, We are able.

And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.

But Jesus called them to him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were greatly displeased,
