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

And the Pharisees came together unto him, and divers 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-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

In vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but the commandments of men,

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 no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

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 comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

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.

Then He looked up to heaven and sighed, as He said, "Ephphatha," which means, "Be opened."

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 ate and had plenty. And they took up the pieces left over, which made seven hamper-basketfuls.

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,

upon which he gave them a severe charge, not to say that of him to any man.

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: 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 number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

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

But they had nothing to say, for they had discussed with one another which of them was to be 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,

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

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 unto him, and said to them, "Ye know well that they which seem to bear rule among the gentiles, reign as Lords over them. And they that be great among them exercise authority over 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 said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

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 a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.

blessed be the kingdom of our father David, which is now come, 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, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

Verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Take away thyself, and cast thyself into the sea'; and shall not waver in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he sayeth shall come to pass, whatsoever he sayeth shall be done to him.

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.

that your father also which is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses."

Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:

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 came the Sadducees came unto him, 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 again from death, they neither marry, nor are married: 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 hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

and the second, which has an affinity to it, is this: "you shall love your neighbour as yourself." 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 market places,

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

And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.

And he called unto him his disciples, and said 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 to him, Do you see these great buildings? there is not one stone here resting on another which will not be overturned.

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 those days shall be distress such as there has not been the like since the beginning of creation which God created, until now, and never 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.

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 being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, there came a woman with a viol full of the perfume of spikenard, which was very costly; and she opened the viol, and poured it upon 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 at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me."

And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

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

and He was saying, "Abba [which means 'Father'], anything is possible for you! Take this cup away from me! Yet, I pray, not what I want but what you want!"

He said in our hearing, I will put an end to this Temple which is made with hands, and in three days I will make another without hands.

And the high priest got up in the middle of them, and said to Jesus, Do you say nothing in answer? what is it which these say against you?
