And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

Blessed [joyful, spiritually favored] is he who does not take offense at Me.”

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate garments? Behold, those who are in splendid clothing and live luxuriously are in the courts of kings.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.

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

for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

(And all the people who heard it, and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law of Moses, who would not be immersed by John, rejected God's purpose for themselves.

To whom therefore shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?

They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a man who is a glutton and a [heavy] wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners [including non-observant Jews].’

But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."

And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

"There were two debtors [who owed] a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty.

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

Then Jesus turned to the woman [who had just poured the perfume on Him] and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house and you did not give me any water for [washing] my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them dry with her hair.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance.

And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:

The man who sows went forth to sow his seed. And during his sowing, some fell by the way, and it was trampled, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

And some fell into good soil, and grew up and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” As He said these things, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.”

But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.

And those on the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.

So be careful how you listen; for whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a longing for truth], even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

And it was told to him by certain, who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do it.

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in any house, but in the tombs.

for he had commanded the impure spirit to quit the man, he had so long possessed: who, tho' bound in chains, and fastned with fetters, broke thro' all restraints, and was hurry'd by the demon into the desarts.

When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran off and reported it in the town and in the countryside.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Jesus upon his return was received by a great number of people, who expected him.

Now a man named Jairus, a synagogue official, came [to Him]; and he fell at Jesus’ feet and began begging Him to come to his house;

because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. While Jesus was on his way, the crowds continued to press in on him.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

But Jesus said, Who touched me? For I perceived power having gone forth from me.

Then the woman, who saw that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and falling down before him, stated before the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she had been instantly healed.

While he was speaking, somebody came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said to him, your daughter is dead; 'tis in vain to importune the master any farther.

And he sent them out to be preachers of the kingdom of God, and to make well those who were ill.

And [as for] all those who do not welcome you--[when you] depart from that town, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

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

But when the crowds learned of it, they followed Him; and He welcomed them and He began talking to them about the kingdom of God, and healing those who needed to be healed.

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."

He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.

For what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?

But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;

Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

But Peter and those with him were oppressed with sleep: but having fully awoke up they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

who were just departing from him, when Peter said to Jesus, master, it is best for us to stay here: let us build three apartments, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing well what he said.

while he was speaking, there came a cloud and over-shadowed them, who were seized with fear, at their vanishing in the cloud,

Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Keep listening to him!"

And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be the greatest of them.

And Jesus who knew the dispute that was in their hearts, took a young child, and placed him by his side;

and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

"Master," said John, "we saw a man who was casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us."

and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

So, He sent messengers on ahead of Him, who went and entered a Samaritan village to prepare for Him [i.e., for His food and lodging].

Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house."

But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things left behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.”

If there is anyone there who loves peace, your blessing will rest upon him, but if there is not, it will come back to you.

Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near you.’

And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades.

'He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

then addressing himself to his disciples in particular, he said, happy are they, who see what you see:

to whom he answered, how does the law run in that case? what do you find?

But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

a certain priest happen'd to be travelling that way, who look'd upon him, and then pass'd on.

So did a Levite who came to the spot; he looked at him but passed on the opposite side.

But a certain Samaritan who was traveling came up to him and, [when he] saw [him], had compassion.

Which now of these three seems to thee to have been neighbour of him who fell into the hands of the robbers?

and he said, 'He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, 'Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

who also sitting at the feet of Jesus, heard his discourse. But Martha was incumbered with much serving; and coming to him she said, Lord, dost thou not care, that my sister hath left me to serve alone?

And he said to them, 'When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

‘And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended or wronged us].
And lead us not into temptation [but rescue us from evil].’”

And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,

for a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come to visit me, and I have nothing to serve him’;

for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and the father shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?

Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion?

If therefore ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

And he was expelling a mute demon. Now it happened that [when] the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished.

But He who well knew their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and a house against a house falleth: if Satan also be divided against himself,

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
