perceived his disciples had much ado to bear up against the wind, which was contrary; about the fourth watch of the night, he came up, and would have pass'd by them.

and as soon as he was got aboard, the wind ceased; which still encreas'd their astonishment and admiration:

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands 'defiled,' by which they meant unwashed.

Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'

And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

And he said to them, Are you also so without understanding? Do you not understand that nothing which enters into a man from without can defile him,

because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach; and goeth out into the drain, which cleanseth all kinds of food.

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,

she answer'd, true, Lord, yet puppys eat of the crumbs, which children drop under the table.

and looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to the man, “Ephphatha,” which [in Aramaic] means, “Be opened and released!”

In those days, the multitude being large, and having nothing which they may eat, Jesus calling His disciples, says to them,

I sympathize with the multitude because three days already abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat.

seven, said they. then he order'd the people to sit down on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, then broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people, which they accordingly did.

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

Immediately He boarded a boat with His disciples and crossed [to the west side of the lake], to the region of Dalmanutha. [Note: Matt. 15:39 says "Magadan," which was probably in the same vicinity as Dalmanutha].

they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,

On which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.

And this He spake plainly and openly. Upon which Peter began to rebuke Him.

But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake and the gospel’s will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

And after six days had passed, Jesus took Peter, James and John aside alone and went up to a high mountain [i.e., probably Mt. Tabor, which was nearby]. [There] His whole appearance was [miraculously] changed in front of them.

And they coming down from the mountain, He charged them, that they should relate to no one the things which they saw, until the Son of man may rise from the dead.

an expression which they dwelt upon, asking one another the meaning of "till he was raised from the dead."

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

which no sooner comes on him, but it throws him down: then the child foams, gnashes his teeth, and grows meager.

But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not."

But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out.

And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched:

[where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.]

to which he answered, what direction did Moses give you?

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

which Jesus observing was much displeas'd with them, and said, suffer little children to come unto me, do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Jesus said to him, "Why callest thou me good? There is no man good but one, which is God.

to which he answered, master, said he, all these precepts have I observed from my youth.

which shall not receive a hundred fold now in this life, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.

And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which I drink, or be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?

And they replied to Him, “We are able.” Jesus told them, “The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out ofJericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, which was blind, sat by the highways side begging.

but many of the company rebuk'd him, in order to silence him. at which he cry'd out with more earnestness, son of David have pity on me.

upon which he threw off his loose coat, and went to Jesus;

and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no child of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it here.

upon which some people there said to them, what do you mean by untying the colt?

And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David, which is coming! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!

And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?

For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"

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

And the second, which is like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as your self. There is no other commandment greater than these.

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.

And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.

Many will come in My name [misusing My name or claiming to be the Messiah], saying, ‘I am He!’ and will deceive and mislead many.

But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:

And let him that is in the field, not turn back again unto those things which he left behind him, for to take his clothes with him.

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

And except that the Lord had should shorten those days, no man should be saved. But for the elects' sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those days.

and the stars of heaven shall be falling down, and the powers which are in the heavens shall be shaken;

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

As a man which is gone into a strange country and hath left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Now the Passover Festival and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were held two days later. [Note: This was the annual Jewish Festival week commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage under Moses' leadership. The unleavened bread was specially baked bread containing no yeast, which was eaten for seven days as part of the celebration]. And the leading priests and experts in the law of Moses were looking for a way to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

Now when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, lying at table, a woman came up with an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, which had cost a great sum; the flask she broke and poured the perfume over his head.

And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

they were glad to hear him, and promis'd to give him money. upon which he contriv'd the most favourable occasion to betray him.

On the first day of the festival of Unleavened Bread, on which it was customary to kill the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover supper?"

upon which he dispatch'd two of his disciples, and said to them: go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

upon which Peter said to him, tho' all should stagger, yet I will not.

And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

He was saying, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You; take this cup [of judgment] away from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.”

We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands.

And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
