And there arose a windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

And He said to them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly and said to one another, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?

And when He had come out of the boat, immediately a man with unclean spirits met Him out of the tombs,

and cried with a loud voice, and said, What is to me and to You, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God not to torment me.

For He said to him, Come out of the man, unclean spirit!

And He asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many.

And immediately Jesus allowed them. And the unclean spirits went out and entered into the pigs. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.

And the ones who fed the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And those who had seen told them how it happened to the one who had been demon-possessed, and about the pigs.

However Jesus did not allow him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and has had mercy on you.

And, behold, one of the synagogue rulers came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet.

And he begged Him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come, lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed, and she shall live.

And knowing instantly within Himself that power had gone out of Him, Jesus turned Himself around in the press and said, Who touched My clothes?

But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before Him and told Him all the truth.

And they laughed at Him. But when He had put them all out, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and went in where the child was lying.

And He strictly warned them that no one should know this. And He said to give her something to eat.

And He went out from there and came into His native-place. And His disciples followed Him.

And when the sabbath day had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him, were astonished, saying, Where does this one get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty works are done by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him.

And He called the Twelve and began to send them out by two and two. And He gave them authority over unclean spirits,

And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

And they went out and proclaimed that men should repent.

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

Others said that it was Elijah. And others said that he is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

But hearing Herod said, It is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead!

For Herod himself had sent out and laid hold on John and had bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For he had married her,

and John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

And Herodias held it against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not.

And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and pleased Herod, and those who reclined with him, the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you desire from me, and I will give it to you.

And he swore to her, Whatever you shall ask from me, I will give it to you, to the half of my kingdom.

And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I desire that you give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

and brought his head in a platter and gave it to the girl. And the girl gave it to her mother.

And when his disciples heard, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

And the apostles gathered themselves to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And He said to them, Come aside into a deserted place and rest a little. For there were many coming and going, and they had no opportunity even to eat.

And the crowds saw them leaving, and many knew Him. And they ran together on foot there, out of the cities. And they went before them and came together to Him.

And going out Jesus saw a large crowd. And He was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

And it now becoming a late hour, His disciples came to Him and said, This is a deserted place and it is now a late hour.

Send them away so that they may go to the surrounding fields and villages and buy loaves for themselves. For they have nothing to eat.

He answered and said to them, You give them food to eat. And they said to Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii of loaves and give them to eat?

And they all ate and were filled.

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a phantom, and cried out.

And when they had come out of the boat, at once knowing Him,

For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they immerse their hands with the fist, holding the tradition of the elders.

And coming from the market, they do not eat without immersing, and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dippings of cups and pots, and of copper vessels, and of tables.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat loaves with unwashed hands?

But He answered and said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

There is nothing from outside a man which entering into him can defile him. But the things which come out of him, those are the ones that defile the man.

because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the waste-bowl, purifying all food?

And He said, That which comes out of the man is what defiles the man.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

All these evil things pass out from inside and defile the man.

And He arose from there and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered into a house and desired no one to know it. But He could not be hidden.

For a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him and came and fell at His feet.

The woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race. And she begged Him that He would cast the demon out of her daughter.

But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be filled. For it is not right to take the children's loaves and to throw it to the dogs.

And she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And He said to her, For this saying go, the demon has gone out of your daughter.

And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lay on the couch.

And He commanded them, that they should tell no one. But the more He commanded them, so much the more they proclaimed it.

In those days, the crowd being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them,

I have compassion on the crowd because they have now been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

So they ate and were filled. And they took up over and above seven lunch baskets of fragments.

And the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking a sign from Heaven from Him, tempting Him.

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no loaves.

And knowing it, Jesus said to them, Why do you reason that it is because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Have you still hardened your heart?

And He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spat on his eyes and had put His hands on him, He asked Him if he saw anything.

And He sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

And Jesus and His disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way He asked His disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

For whoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel's, he shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And His clothing became shining, exceedingly white as snow such as no fuller on earth could whiten them.

And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

For he did not know what to say, for they were very much afraid.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him.

And they kept that saying within themselves, debating with one another what the rising from the dead is.

And He answered and told them, Elijah truly does come first and restores all things. And how has it been written of the Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be despised?

But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they desired, as it is written of him.

And He asked the scribes, What are you discussing with them?

And wherever he seizes him, he dashes him. And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away. And I spoke to Your disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.

And He asked his father, How long ago has it been since this came to him? And he said, From childhood.

And oftentimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.

And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.

And seeing that a crowd is running together, Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter no more into him!

And the spirit cried out, throwing him into convulsions, and came out of him. And he was like one dead, so that many said, He is dead.

And He entering into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could we not cast him out?

And He said to them, This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer and fasting.

And going out from there, they passed through Galilee. And He desired that no one should know.

And He came to Capernaum. And being in the house, He asked them, What was it that you disputed among yourselves in the way?

And He took a child, and embraced it, and set him in their midst. And He said to them,

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in Your name, and he does not follow us. And we forbade him, because he does not follow us.

And whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in Me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea.

And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched

And if your foot offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than to have two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched

And if your eye offends you, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes to be cast into hell fire

Salt is good; but if the salt becomes saltless, with what will you season? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.

And tempting Him, the Pharisees came to Him and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
