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 from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

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

But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

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

When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned himself about and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.

Then Jesus answering, said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they who are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

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

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

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down at table.

And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-box of ointment,

And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he spoke 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 they that sat at table with him, began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons.

And when many people were collected, and had come to him out of every city, he spoke by a parable:

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered, because it lacked moisture.

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

And his disciples asked him, saying, What doth this parable mean?

And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may 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 in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

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

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

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

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.

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

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

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

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains, and in fetters: and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)

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

And they besought him, that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they 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 demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

They also who saw it, told them by what means he that was possessed by the demons was healed.

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

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

And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house:

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue hath gone out of me.

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

While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead: trouble not the Master.

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

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

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

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

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

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke 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 provisions for all this people.

And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?

For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

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

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistening.

Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one 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 him.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.

And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.

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 demon 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. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

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

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

And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

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

And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.

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

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

But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say,

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

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

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 lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

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

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

And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

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:

I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, 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 the door shall be opened to you.

And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.

But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of the demons.

If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.

And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.
