And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

And he sleep, and should rise night and day, and the seed should sprout, and be raised; how, he knows not.

But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward.

And he said, To what should we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable should we hold it forth?

And with many such parables spake he the word to them, as they were able to hear.

And without a parable spake he not to them: and apart, he solved all to his disciples.

And he says to them in that day, being evening, Let us go beyond.

And having let the crowd go, they receive him as he was in the ship. And there were also other small vessels with him.

And he was upon the back part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow: and they aroused him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And having risen, he censured the wind, and said to the sea, Be silent, be constricted. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? how have ye not faith?

For he had been bound many times with fetters and chains, and the chains were torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and none could tame him.

And always, night and day, was he in the mountains, and among the monuments, crying, and mangling himself with stones.

And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him.

And having cried with a great voice, he said, What to me and thee, Jesus, O Son of God most high I adjure thee by God, that thou torture me not.

For he said to him, Come forth out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What the name to thee? And he answered, saying, My name, Legion: for we are many.

And he besought him much that he would not send them out of the country.

And they having seen, recounted to them how it was to him possessed with the demon, and concerning the swine.

And he having gone into the ship, he having been possessed with a demon besought him that he might be with him.

And Jesus permitted him not; but he says to him, Retire to thy house, to thine own, and announce to them what things the Lord did to thee, and he pitied thee.

And he went away, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what Jesus did to him: and all were wondering.

And Jesus having passed over again in the ship on the other side, a great crowd was gathered together to him: and he was by the sea.

And, behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue comes, Jairus by name; and having seen him, he fell at his feet,

And he besought him much, saying, That my little daughter is at the last extremity: that, having come, thou Mightest put the hands upon her, so that she might be saved; and she shall live.

And he went away with him; and a great crowd followed him, and they pressed him.

And Jesus, having quickly known in himself the power having gone out of him, having turned round in the crowd, he said, Who has touched my garments?

And he looked round about to see her having done this.

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has saved thee; retire in peace, and be whole from thy plague.

He yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue, saying, That thy daughter is dead: why yet dost thou importune the Teacher?

And he permitted not any to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees an uproar, they weeping and wailing much.

And having time in, he says to them, Why make ye an uproar, and weep? the young child is not dead, but sleeps.

And they laughed at him. And he, having cast them all out, takes the father and mother of the young child, and those with him, and goes where the young child was lying.

And having taken the hand of the young child, he says to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to thee, arise.

And he charged them much that none should know this thing; and he spake to give her to eat.

And he came out thence, and came to his native land; and his disciples follow him.

And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands?

And he could do no power there, except having laid his hands upon a few sick, he cured.

And he wondered for their unbelief. And he went about the towns teaching.

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

And he said to them, Wherever ye come into a house, there remain ye even till ye should come forth thence.

Others amid, That he is Elias. And others said, That he is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

And Herod, having heard, said, That John whom I beheaded, this is he; he was raised from the dead.

For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her.

For Herod feared John, knowing him a just and holy man, and he observed him: and having heard him, did many things, and heard him cheerfully.

And he swore to her, That whatever thou shouldest ask, I will give thee, even to half my kingdom.

And he having departed, beheaded him in prison, and brought his head upon a board, and gave it to the little girl: and the little girl gave it to her mother.

And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little: for many were coming and returning, and neither had they leisure to eat.

And Jesus, having come out, saw a great crowd, and felt compassion for them, for they were as sheep having not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

And having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Having gone, should we buy loaves of two hundred drachmas, and give them to eat?

And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? retire and see. And having known, they say, Five, and two fishes.

And he commanded them all to recline a drinking together, drinking together upon the green grass.

And having taken the five loaves and two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he praised, and he brake the loaves, and gave to his disciples that they might set before them; and the two fishes he divided to all.

And quickly he constrained his disciples to go to the ship, and to lead before to the other side of Bethsaida, till he loose the crowd:

And having dismissed them, he went away to the mount to pray.

And evening having come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon land.

And he saw them trying to urge forward, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking upon the sea, and he would pass by them.

For all saw him, and were troubled. And quickly he spake with them, and says to them, Take courage: I am; be not afraid.

And he went up to them to the ship; and the wind ceased, and they were greatly affected in mind above measure and wondered.

Running round about that whole country, began to bring the afflicted upon couches, where they heard that he is there.

And wherever he went, in towns, or cities; or fields, they set the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might even touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were saved.

And he having answered, said to them, That Esaias prophesied well concerning you, as it has been written, This people honour me with lips, and their heart keeps far from me.

And he said to them, Well do ye abrogate the command of God, that ye might keep your tradition.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and he reviling father or mother, in death let him die:

And having called all the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all ye, and do ye understand:

And when he came into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him of the parable.

And he says, So are ye also without understanding? Do ye not perceive, that anything from without entering into a man, cannot pollute him

And he said, That going out of a man, that pollutes a man.

And arising from thence, he departed into the bounds of Tyre and Sidon, and having come into the house, he would have none know; and he could not be hid.

And the woman was a Grecian, a Syrophenician by birth; and she entreated him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

And he said to her, For this word retire; the demon has gone out of thy daughter.

And again, having gone out from the bounds of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, in the midst of the bounds of Decapolis.

And they bring to him a deaf one, tongue-tied; and they beseech him that he would put the hand upon him.

And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers in his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue;

And having looked up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be opened.

And quickly his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake rightly.

And he charged them that they should say to none: and as much as he charged them, they proclaimed more abundantly;

And above measure were they struck with amazement, saying, Well has he done all things: he makes the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

And he enjoined to the crowd to recline upon the earth: and having taken the seven loaves, having returned thanks, he brake, and he gave to his disciples that they might set before.; and they set before the crowd.

And they had a few little fishes: and having praised, he spake to set them also before.

And they eating were about four thousand: and he loosed them.

And quickly having gone into the ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

And having sighed deeply in spirit, he says, Why seeks this generation for a sign Verily I say to you, shall a sign be given to this generation.

And having let them go, having gone again into the ship, he departed beyond.

And he enjoined them, saying, See ye, look away from the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

When I brake the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

And when the seven to four thousand, the fillings of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

And he said to them, How do ye not understand

And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring to him one blind, and beseech him that he would touch him.

And having taken the hand of the blind, he led him forth without the town; and having spit into his eyes, having put hands upon him, he asked him if he saw any thing.

And having looked up, he said, I see men that I see as trees, walking.

Then again he put hands upon his eyes, and made him look up; and he was restored, and he saw all clearly.

And he sent him to his house, saying, Thou shouldest not either enter into the town, neither, say to any in the town.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, to the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples in the way, saying to them, Whom do men say me to be?

And he says to them, And whom do ye say me to be? And Peter, having answered, says to him, Thou art Christ.

And he rebuked them, that they should say to none concerning him.

And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be disapproved of by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise up.

And he spake the word with frankness. And Peter having taken him, began to rebuke him.
