And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read, even this, what David did, when he hungered, and they that were with him?

How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the shew-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests only?

And they were filled with madness, and talked one with another, what they should do to Jesus.

And in those days he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in the prayer of God.

And when it was day, he called to him his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom also he named Apostles:

And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for virtue went out of him, and healed them all.

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

For if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? For sinners also love those that love them.

And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? For even sinners do the same.

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? For even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete with, it shall be measured to you again.

Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, thou thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

He is like a man, who built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream broke vehemently upon that house, but could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

But he that heareth, and doth not, is like a man that built an house without a foundation upon the earth: against which the stream broke vehemently, and immediately it fell: and the breach of that house was great.

For I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth, and to another, Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.

Jesus hearing these things, marvelled at him, and turning, said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And as he drew nigh the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude of the city was with her.

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

And when the messengers of John were departed, he said to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?

A reed shaken by the wind? But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that are splendidly apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings palaces.

But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much 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.

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

And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him. And going into the Pharisee's house, he sat down to table.

And behold a woman in the city, who had been a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at table in the Pharisee's house,

brought an alabaster box of ointment, And standing at his feet behind him weeping, watered his feet with a shower of tears, and wiped them, with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, 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.

And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at table with him said within themselves,

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

And much people being gathered together, coming to him out of every city, he spake by a parable, A sower went forth to sow his seed:

and while he sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

And some fell upon a rock, and springing up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

And his disciples asked him, What is this parable?

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables, so that seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not understand.

Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

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

No man having lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.

Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even what he hath.

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

And he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God and keep it.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they were afraid and wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this? For he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him.

And as he went forth to land, there met him out of the city, a certain man that had had devils a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in an house, but in the tombs.

But seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What hast thou to do with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, torment me not.

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man: for many times it had caught him, and he had been kept bound with chains and fetters, and breaking the bands asunder, he had been driven by the spirit into the deserts.)

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many devils had entered into him.

And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake and were choked.

And they that fed them, seeing what was done, fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

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.

They also that had seen it told them, How he that was possessed by the devils was healed.

And the man out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, Return home,

and shew what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city, how great things Jesus had done for him.

And behold there came a man named Jairus, and he was ruler of the synagogue; and falling down at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come to his house.

And Jesus said, Some one hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out of me.

And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she had been healed immediately.

While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the master.

Jesus hearing it answered him, saying, Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole.

And he put them all out, and taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maid, arise.

And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

because it was said by some, That John was risen from the dead; and by some that Elijah had appeared; by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

And the apostles returning told him what they had done. And he took them and went aside privately into the desert of Bethsaida.

And when the multitudes knew it, they followed him, and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God and healed them that had need of healing.

But he said to them, give ye them to eat. And they said, we have no more than five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

And they all ate and were satisfied, and there were taken up of fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

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 is a man profited, if he gain the whble world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

And about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and James and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as he prayed, the fashien of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

Who appearing in glory, spake of his decease, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

And just as they were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents, ane for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah, not knowing what he said.

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

And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out, and it teareth him, that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

And as he was yet coming, the devil threw him down and tore him: and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. And while they all wondered at all things which Jesus did,

But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of this saying.

And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him; because he followeth not with us.

And his disciples James and John seeing it said, Lord, Wilt thou that we bid fire come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elijah did?

But he turning rebuked them and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of:

And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, going out into the streets of it, say,

Even the dust of your city which cleaveth to our feet, do we wipe off against you: yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.

I say to you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.

But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

Behold I give ydu power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,

Yet in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, that your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

And behold, a certain scribe stood up, and trying him, said, Master, what shall I do, to inherit eternal life?

He said to him, What is written in the law?

And it came to pass that a certain priest came down that way, and seeing him, passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

And on the morrow departing, he took out two pieces of money, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, as I come back I will repay thee.

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, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:

because he is his friend, yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.

For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb: and when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake, and the people wondered.

But some of them said, He casteth out devils by Beelzebub the prince of the devils:

Because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. And if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?
