And the volume of Isaiah the prophet was given to him: and when he had unrolled the volume, he found the place where it was written:

And he rolled up the volume, and save it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all that were in the synagogue were earnestly fixed upon him.

And all extolled him; and they wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth, and said: Is not this the son of Joseph?

and arose, and drove him out of the city, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him into the midst, and came out of him, and hurt him not.

And he arose and went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was confined with a violent fever: and they besought him in her behalf.

And when the sun had gone down, all that had any sick with various diseases, brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and cured them.

And when it was day, he went out and departed into a desert place; and the multitudes sought for him, and came to him and endeavored to detain him, that he should not go away from them.

And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.

And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.

For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;

And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.

And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.

And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.

But his fame went abroad the more; and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be cured by him of their infirmities.

And behold, men brought, on a bed, a man who was a paralytic. And they sought how they might bring him in, and lay him before him.

And finding no way by which they could bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up on the top of the house, and, through the tiling, let him down, with his bed, into the midst before Jesus.

And when he saw their faith, he said to him: Man, your sins are forgiven you.

And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.

And leaving all, he arose and followed him.

And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.

And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?

And Jesus answered and said to them: Have you not read even that which David did, when he was hungry him self, and those who were with him,

that he entered the house of God, and took the loaves of the presence, and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful, except for the priests alone, to eat?

And the scribes and Pharisees watched closely, whether he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him.

And looking round upon them all, he said to him: Stretch forth your hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored like the other.

And when it was day, he called to him his disciples; and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

And he came down with them, and stood in a plain; and with him stood a multitude of his disciples, and a great number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases,

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for power went forth from him, and healed them all.

To him that strikes you on one cheek, offer also the other; and from him that takes away your mantle, withhold not your coat.

Give to every one that asks of you; and of him that takes away your goods, ask them not again.

And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.

But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.

And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this;

And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.

And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

And it came to pass, the next day, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples and a great multitude followed him.

And he that had been dead, sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.

And this report concerning him went abroad into all Judea and all the neighboring region.

And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And the men came to him and said: John the Immerser has sent us to thee, and says, Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.

And one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and reclined at table.

But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.

And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have some thing to say to you. He replied: Teacher, say on.

A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty.

But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more?

Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly.

And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins?

And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;

and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.

And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:

And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?

Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.

And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.

And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, master, we perish. But he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them: "Where is your faith? And being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: "Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?

And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not.

For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts.

And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.

And they be sought him, that he would not command them to -go away into the abyss.

And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.

And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

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

And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;

for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him.

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?

And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.

While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.

And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure dis eases:

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;

And Herod said: John I have beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

And the apostles returned, and told him all "that they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place, that belonged to a city called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes knew it, and followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

And the day began to decline; and the twelve came and said to him: Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and the country round about, and lodge, and find food; for we are here in a desert place.

And it came to pass, as he was praying in a retired place, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: "Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he said to them all: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and fol low me.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory; and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

And. behold, two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

And Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep; but having fully awakened, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass, that, as they were withdrawing from him, Peter said to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for. Elijah, not knowing what he said.

And there came a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And it came to pass, that, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

and, behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him into convulsions, and causes him to foam, and after depriving him of strength, hardly departs from him.

And while he was coming, the demon cast him to the ground, and threw him into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and restored the child to health, and gave him back to his father.

But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they might not understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

But Jesus perceived the thought of their heart, and he took a little child, and made it stand by him,

and said to them: Whoever will receive this little child on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

And John answered and said: Master, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
