And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

And those who had seen it gave them an account of what had been done to him who had the evil spirits, and of the fate of the pigs.

And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue--he was called Jair--who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,

And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years,

and having suffered many things by many physicians, and having spent all of her things, and was helped nothing, but who became worse instead,

And straight away Jesus was conscious that power had gone out of him; and, turning to the people, he said, Who was touching my robe?

And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

While he was yet speaking, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain who said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and those who were weeping and wailing greatly.

And they were laughing at him. But he, having sent them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.

And [when] the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard [him] were amazed, saying, "Where did this man [get] these [things]? And what [is] this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?

is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, of Juda and Simon? are not these his sisters, who are here with us? and they were scandalized at him.

And he was unable to do any work of power there, but only to put his hands on one or two persons who were ill, and make them well.

And they sent out a number of evil spirits, and put oil on a great number who were ill, and made them well.

And King Herod heard [it], because his name had become known. And they were saying, "John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him."

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And immediately the king sent a soldier who served as his guard and ordered him to bring John's head to him. So, he went and decapitated him in the prison,

accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the prison, and bringing the head in a charger, he presented it to the young lady, who gave it to her mother:

And he said to them, "You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time." For those [who were] coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.

And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

Jesus then having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, look'd up to heaven and gave thanks; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people: for whom he likewise divided the two fishes.

And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

It was now late in the evening, and the bark in full sea, when Jesus, who was ashore all alone,

no sooner were they ashore, but the people, who presently perceiv'd it was Jesus,

And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

She was a heathen who spoke Greek and had been born in Syro-Phenicia. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

Then Jesus ordered the people [who witnessed the miracle] not to tell anyone [about it], but the more He urged them not to, the more widely they publicized it.

And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

About that time, when there was again a great crowd of people who had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said:

And those who ate were about four thousand, and he sent them away.

Then Jesus ordered them, saying, "Pay attention and watch out for the leavening [effect] of the Pharisees and Herod." [Note: By "Herod" is probably meant the Herodians, who were a party favorable to King Herod and, along with the Pharisees and Sadducees, were out to get Jesus. See Matt. 16:6].

Afterwards Jesus went to Bethsaida, where they presented to him a blind man, whom they entreated Jesus to touch.

And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.

Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."

And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!"

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;

And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

in the mean time he gave his disciples this intimation, "the son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, who will put him to death, and three days after he is put to death he shall rise again."

But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.

And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

He who is not against us is for us.

And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

For in hell the worm of those who are there will never die [i.e., their gnawing punishment will never cease] and the fire [there] will never go out.

Therefore, those whom God so joins together [in the marriage bond], no person must ever separate."

And he said to them, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his former wife,

And they brought children to him, so that he would touch them. And the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it."

When he was set out upon his journey, there met him one, who kneeling down before him, said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? there is but one, who is good, that is God.

But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

And they were greatly surprised, saying to him, Who then may have salvation?

Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.

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,

now, said he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles.

Who will mock him, spit upon him, and scourge him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again."

But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a considerable crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind beggar who sat beside the road,

who thereupon spoke to him, and said, what would you have me do for you? the blind man replied, Lord, I desire to have my sight.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.

And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,

There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.

For when they rise from among the dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels who are in the heavens.

But concerning those who are raised from the dead, have you never read in the book of Moses, in the incident about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying [Ex. 3:6], 'I am Abraham's God, and Isaac's God, and Jacob's God?'
