And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"

When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole have no need of the Physician: but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

Also no man seweth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for then taketh he away the new piece from the old, and so is the rent worse.

In like wise, no man poureth new wine into old vessels, for if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are marred. But new wine must be poured into new vessels."

And it chanced that he went through the corn fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, as they went on their way, began to pluck the ears of corn.

And he said to them, "Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was a hungered both he and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the hallowed loaves, which is not lawful but for the priests only to eat: and gave also to them which were with him?"

And he said to them, "The Sabbath day was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath day.

And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there which had a withered hand:

and they watched him, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, "Arise and stand in the midst."

And he said to them, "Whether is it lawful? To do a good deed on the Sabbath day, or an evil? To save a man's life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.

And he looked round about on them, angrily mourning on the blindness of their hearts. And said to the man, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it out: And his hand was restored, even as whole as the other.

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan: and they that dwelled about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude: which when they had heard what things he did, came unto him.

And he commanded his disciples, that a ship should wait on him, because of the people, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many, insomuch that they pressed upon him, for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And he straightly charged them that they should not utter him.

And he went up into a mountain, and called unto him whom he would, and they came unto him.

And he ordained the twelve that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preach.

And he gave Simon to name, Peter.

And he called James the son of Zebedee, and John, James' brother, and gave them Boanerges to name, which is to say, the Sons of Thunder.

And when they that longed unto him heard of it, they went out to hold him. For they said, "He is too fervent."

And the scribes, which came from Jerusalem, said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the power of the chief devil, casteth out devils."

And he called them unto him, and in similitudes said unto them, "How can Satan drive out Satan?

So if Satan make insurrection against himself, and be divided, he cannot continue, but is it an end.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and take away his goods, except he first bind that strong man and then spoil his house.

but he that blasphemeth the holy ghost shall never have forgiveness: but is in danger of eternal damnation."

Because they said, "He had an unclean spirit."

And he answered them, saying, "Who is my mother, and my brethren?"

And he looked round about on his disciples, which sat in compass about him, and said, "Behold, my mother, and my brethren:

For whosoever doeth the will of God, he is my brother, my sister and mother."

And he began again to teach by the seaside. And there gathered together unto him much people, so greatly that he entered in to a ship, and sat in the sea, and all the people was by the seaside on the shore:

And he taught them many things in similitudes, and said unto them in his doctrine,

and it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

And he said unto them, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked him of the similitude.

And he said unto them, "To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: But unto them that are without, shall all things be done in similitudes:

And he said unto them, "Perceive ye not this similitude? How then should ye understand all other similitudes?

And he said unto them, "Is the candle lighted, to be put under a bushel, or under the table? And is it not, rather, lighted to be put on a candlestick?

And he said unto them, "Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured unto you again. And unto you that hear, shall more be given.

For unto him that hath, shall it be given: And from him that hath not, shall be taken away, even that he hath."

And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, even as if a man should sow seed in the ground,

and should sleep and rise up night and day: and the seed should spring, and grow up while he is not aware.

And as soon as the fruit is brought forth, anon he thrusteth in the sickle because that harvest is come."

And he said, "Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?

And with many such similitudes he preached the word unto them, after as they might hear it.

And without similitude spake he nothing unto them. But when they were apart, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And the same day, when even was come, he said unto them, "Let us pass over unto the other side."

And they left the people, and took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other ships.

And he was in the stern asleep on a pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"

And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

and he said unto them, "Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?"

And when he was come out of the ship, anon there met him out of the graves a man possessed of an unclean spirit,

because that when he was often bound with fetters and chains, he plucked the chains asunder, and brake the fetters in pieces: Neither could any man tame him.

And always both night and day he cried in the mountains and in the graves and beat himself with stones.

When he had spied Jesus afar off, he ran, and worshipped him,

For he had said unto him, "Come forth out of the man thou foul spirit."

And he asked him, "What is thy name?" and he answered him, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

And he prayed him instantly, that he would not send them away out of the country.

And they that saw it told them, how it had happened unto him that was possessed with the devil: and also of the swine.

And they began to pray him, that he would depart from their coasts.

And when he was come into the ship, he that had the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

Howbeit, Jesus would not suffer him but said unto him, "Go home into thine own house and to thy friends, and show them what great things the Lord hath done unto thee, and how he had compassion on thee."

And he departed, and began to publish in the ten cities, what great things Jesus had done unto him; and all men did marvel.

And when Jesus was come over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea.

And behold, there came unto him one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Jairus: and when he saw him, he fell down at his feet,

And he went with him, and much people followed him, and thronged him.

And he looked round about, for to see her that had done that thing.

And he said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain which said, "Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?"

As soon as Jesus heard that word spoken, he said unto the ruler of the Synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe."

And he suffered no man to follow him more than Peter, and James and John the brother of James.

And he came unto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and saw the wondering and them that wept and wailed greatly;

And he went in and said unto them, "Why make ye this ado and weep? The maiden is not dead, but sleepeth."

And they laughed him to scorn. Then he put them all out, and took the father and the mother of the maiden, and them that were with him, and entered in where the maiden lay;

And he charged them straightly that no man should know of it; and commanded to give her meat.

And he departed thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.

And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said, "From whence hath he these things? And what wisdom is this that is given unto him? And such virtues that are wrought by his hands?

And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them.

And he marveled at their unbelief. And he went about by the towns that lay on every side, teaching.

And he called the twelve, and began to send them, two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

And he said unto them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.

And king Herod heard of him, for his name was spread abroad; And he said, "John Baptist is risen again from death, and therefore miracles are wrought by him."

But when Herod heard of him, he said, "It is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from death again."

For Herod himself had sent forth, and had taken John, and bound him and cast him into prison for Herodias' sake, which was his brother Philip's wife. For he had married her.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and a holy, and gave him reverence; And when he heard him he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And he sware unto her, "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, even unto the one half of my kingdom."

And the king was sorry. Yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat at supper also, he would not put her beside her purpose.

And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger and gave it to the maiden, and the maiden gave it to her mother.

And he said unto them, "Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest awhile." For there were many comers and goers, and that they had no leisure for so much as to eat.

And he went by ship, aside out of the way into a desert place.

And Jesus went out and saw much people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said unto him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"

He said unto them, "How many loaves have ye? Go and look." And when they had searched, they said, "Five, and two fishes."

And he commanded them to make them all sit down, by companies upon the green grass.

And he took the five loaves and the two fishes; And looked up to heaven and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to put before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.

And straightway, he caused his disciples to go into the ship, and to go over the water before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

And as soon as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land,

and he saw them troubled in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them. And about the fourth quarter of the night, he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
