And he began to say to them, To day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

And all concurred in their testimony to him, and marvelled at the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

But he said, Verily, I say unto you, that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.

saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

And amazement seized on all present, and they spake one to another, saying, What a word is this? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

And as the day was coming on, he went forth and departed into a desert place: and the multitude sought him out, and came to him, and would have detained him that he should not leave them.

AND it came to pass, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:

as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men.

And it came to pass as he was just at one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy! and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And he commanded him to tell no man: but go shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, as Moses enjoined, for a testimony unto them.

And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?

for which is the easier? to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise and walk?

And he said unto them, Can you make the children of the bridechamber fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them?

Then he spake a parable unto them, No man putteth a patch of new cloth on an old garment; but if otherwise, both the new makes a rent, and the patch from the new is not of a piece with the old.

And no man drinking old wine, immediately desires new: for he saith, The old is better.

Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath-day?

And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day.

Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it?

And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall revile you, and shall cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the same manner did your fathers to the prophets.

And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner.

But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the wicked.

Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one who is completely taught shall be as his master.

But why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother's eye, but observest not the beam which is in thine own eye?

Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother's eye.

For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit.

Every tree is known by its own peculiar fruit. For men do not gather figs from off thorns, nor do they gather from the bramble a bunch of grapes.

A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Every one who cometh to me, and heareth my words, and puts them in practice, I will shew you to whom he is like:

he is like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it was founded on a rock.

But he that heareth, and doth not practice, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; against which the river rushed violently, and immediately it fell; and the crash of the fall of that house was great.

And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour:

for he loveth our nation, and hath himself built us a synagogue.

And as he drew near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carrying out, an only son to his mother, and she a widow; and a great concourse of the city was with her.

And fear fell on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and that God hath looked down with mercy on his people.

Then the men came to him, saying, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another?

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended at me.

For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

For I tell you, of those born from woman, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.

The Son of man is come eating and drinking, and ye say, A gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

And when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of a woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a notorious sinner.

For which cause, I tell thee, her many sins are forgiven, for she hath loved much: but to whom a little is forgiven, he loveth little.

And they who sat at table with him began to say in themselves, Who is this, who even forgives sins?

A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it up.

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend.

Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.

They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing.

And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize.

For there is nothing hid which shall not be made manifest, nor concealed, which shall not be known and brought to light.

And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.

And they sailed over unto the region of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.

And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs.

Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him.

And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house;

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him.

Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me.

And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble.

Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep.

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

And it came to pass, as he had been praying in retirement, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but some Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And it came to pass, as he was at prayer, that the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment white and refulgent.

And it came to pass, as they were departing from him, Peter said unto Jesus, it is well that we are here, and we will make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.

And as he was thus speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them: and they were afraid as they were entering into the cloud.

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And, behold, a man from among the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon my son; for he is my only begotten.

and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.

Then John addressing him said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followed not with us.

And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us, is for us.

And it came to pass, as the days hastened to their period when he should be received up [to glory], that he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem;

And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elias did?

And it came to pass, as they were walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

But Jesus said unto him, No man laying his hand on the plough, and looking to the things left behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

He said therefore unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers few: pray ye therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out labourers into his harvest.

Go forth! behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

And in the same family abide, eating and drinking such as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not about from house to house.

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you:

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

Even the dust of your city, which sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that the kingdom of God is come near to you.

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

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan falling as lightning from heaven.

Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shalt in any wise hurt you.

In the same hour Jesus exulted in spirit, and said, I ascribe glory to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: be it so, O Father! since such is thy good pleasure.

All things are given up to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who is the Son, but the Father; and who is the Father, but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?

And he answering said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself."

Then he, desirous to make himself appear a righteous person, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

And on the morrow, as he was departing, he took out of his purse two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take great care of him; and whatever farther expence may be incurred, when I return, I will repay thee.

And it came to pass, as they were travelling, that he entered into a certain village; and a woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

But Martha was hurrying about to provide a large entertainment, and coming up to him, she said, Lord, is it no concern to thee, that my sister hath left me to make the whole provision by myself? bid her therefore to assist me.

AND it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, when he had done, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

And he said unto them, When ye pray say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done as in heaven so upon earth.

Give us our necessary food, day by day:

and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one who is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation; but deliver us from the wicked one.

for a friend of mine is come to me off a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.
