And when many people were collected, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

Those by the way side, are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who enter in may see the light.

And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Then the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes, besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he went into the boat, and returned.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.

For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

But I tell you in truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah.

But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.

Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh to you.

And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through thy name.

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

And he turned himself to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

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

When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

But he said, Yes, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

And when the people were assembled in crowds, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

And he said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers, for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.

Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Therefore, whatever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge, or a divider over you?

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?

And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?

If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for the rest?

And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning;

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all?

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering, said to them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath.

The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said to them,

When once the master of the house hath risen, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

Then ye will begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

But he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

And behold, there are last, who shall be first; and there are first who shall be last.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And verily I say to you, ye shall not see me, until the time shall come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?

And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,

Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.
