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.

And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about 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 did you go out to see? a man in soft clothing? See now, those who have beautiful clothing and delicate food are in kings' houses.

If not, then what did you go out there to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is far more than a prophet.

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

I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.

But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God 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, 'Behold, a man [who is] a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

But wisdom is vindicated 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 that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that 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, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the 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 even forgiveth sins?

and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

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 falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

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.

And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

But the [seed] on the good soil--these are the ones who, [after] hearing the word, hold fast to [it] with a noble and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.

"And no one, [after] lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts [it] under a bed, but puts [it] on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.

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

But he answered [and] said to them, "These are my mother and my brothers--the ones 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.

And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid.

And those who had seen [it] reported to them how the man who had been demon-possessed had been healed.

But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,

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

And behold, a man {who was named} Jairus came, and this man was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus [and] began imploring him to come to his house,

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, who lay a dying. as he was on the way, the crowd press'd after 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 is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee .

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 I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say 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."

And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

For who|oever will save his life shall gose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, he shall 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 was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were 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 spoke out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, [whom] I have chosen; listen to Him."

And an argument developed among them as to who of them might be greatest.

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, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man 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."

But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.

and he sent messengers before, who went to a town of the Samaritans, to prepare a lodging for him.

And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

But Jesus said, "No one who puts [his] hand on the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God!"

if any be there, who deserve your benediction, it shall have its effect upon them; otherwise, it shall redound to your own advantage.

And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

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

Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against 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 have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to 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, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?

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.

And likewise also a Levite who happened upon the place, having come, and having looked, passed by on the other side.

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

Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

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 pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test.

And he said to them, "Who of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves,

for a friend of mine, who is on a journey, has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?

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

If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

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.
