that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.

And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places , who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,

And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.

And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.

And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.

And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass.

And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him that had the legion: and they were afraid.

And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.

And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him.

and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I pray thee , that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.

and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.

And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was.

And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that'something'should be given her to eat.

And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean'such mighty works wrought by his hands?

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;

And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.

And they went out, and preached that men'should repent.

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.

send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.

And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.

And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;

and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God ;

there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;

And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by , who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.

And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?

But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him.

and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.

And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth.

And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?

And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

For he that is not against us is for us.

And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel's sake,

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,

And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.

And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
