And Jesus answered him, and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil said to him: I will give you all the authority and glory of these, for it is delivered to me; and to whomever I will, I give it.

And Jesus answered and said to him: Get behind me, Satan; it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

for it is written, He will give his angels charge concerning you, to guard you carefully;

And Jesus answered and said to him: It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof.

And the volume of Isaiah the prophet was given to him: and when he had unrolled the volume, he found the place where it was written:

And he rolled up the volume, and save it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all that were in the synagogue were earnestly fixed upon him.

And all extolled him; and they wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth, and said: Is not this the son of Joseph?

and to no one of them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.

and arose, and drove him out of the city, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.

And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

And there was in the synagogue a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,

saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him into the midst, and came out of him, and hurt him not.

And amazement came upon all, and they spoke one to another, saying: "What teaching is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

And he arose and went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was confined with a violent fever: and they besought him in her behalf.

And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and she arose immediately, and ministered to them.

Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And when it was day, he went out and departed into a desert place; and the multitudes sought for him, and came to him and endeavored to detain him, that he should not go away from them.

And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.

And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.

And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.

And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.

For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;

And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.

And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.

And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.

And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.

And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.

And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?

And he spoke also a parable to them: No one patches an old garment with a piece taken from a new garment. If so, the new tears it, and the patch from the new suits not the old.

And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will be spilled,. and the bottles will be destroyed.

And it came to pass, on the first sabbath after the second day of the feast, that he was going through the fields of grain; and his disciples pulled the ears and ate, rubbing them in their hands.

And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

that he entered the house of God, and took the loaves of the presence, and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful, except for the priests alone, to eat?

And it came to pass, on another sabbath, that he entered the synagogue and taught; and a man was there, whose right hand was withered.

But they were filled with madness, and began to consult with one another what they should do to Jesus.

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.

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

Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and shall withdraw themselves from you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man.

And if you love them that love you, what thanks have you? for even sinners love those who love them.

And if you do good to them that do good to you, what thanks have you? for even sinners do the same.

And if you lend to them from whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? for even sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive the same.

Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your lap. For with the same measure with which you measure, it shall be measured to you in return.

And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye?

Or, how can you say to your brother: Brother, let me pull out the splinter that is in your eye, when you yourself see not the beam that is in your own eye? Hypocrite, first pull the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to pull out the splinter that is in your brother's eye.

The good man, out of the good treasury of his heart, brings forth that which is good; and the evil man, out of the evil treasury of his heart, brings forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.

He is like a man that, when building a house, digged deep, and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the torrent dashed against that house, and it was not able to shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the torrent dashed with violence, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

For I am a man placed under authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

And it came to pass, the next day, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples and a great multitude followed him.

And when he came near the gate of tho city, behold, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.

And he went and touched the bier; and those who were carrying it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to you, Arise.

And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them;

And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear splendid apparel, and live in luxury, are in kings houses.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, 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 be fore thee.

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

Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.

And one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and reclined at table.

And, behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that he reclined at table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

and stood behind at his feet, weeping; and she began to wash his feet with her tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.

And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins?

And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;

and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,

The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.

And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.

And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?

He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.

But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.

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

But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it.

And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.

And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not.

For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts.

And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.

And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.

And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him gladly; for they were all waiting for him.

And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;

And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.

While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.

But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.

And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.

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

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
