And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

So, Jesus went along with the man, and was being thronged by a large crowd that followed Him.

and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

when she heard of Jesus, came be hind him in the multitude, and touched his mantle;

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.

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

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

But Jesus said to them, "A prophet never fails to be honored except in his native neighborhood, among his kinsmen, and in his own home."

And He could not perform any supernatural deed there [i.e., because of their lack of faith in Him], except He placed hands on a few sick people [i.e., accompanied by prayer ?] and healed them.

And he marveled at their unbelief. And he went about by the towns that lay on every side, teaching.

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

also they cast out a number of daemons and cured a number of sick people by anointing them with oil.

And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

But when Herod heard of him, he said--"The man whom I beheaded--John--he must be risen!"

For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife."

For Herod was afraid of John, [because he] knew him [to be] a righteous and holy man and protected him. And [when he] listened to him, he was greatly perplexed, and [yet] he listened to him gladly.

for Herodias made her appearance there, and danc'd with such an engaging air in the eye of Herod, as well as of all the company, that the king thus addrest himself to the young lady, "ask of me whatever you please, and it shall be granted."

nay, he ratified his promise with an oath, "I will give you whatever you require, said he, tho' it be even the half of my kingdom."

And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

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

The king was deeply grieved, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests [who might have regarded him as weak], he was unwilling to [break his word and] refuse her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while”—for there were many [people who were continually] coming and going, and they could not even find time to eat.

And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.

By this time it was late; so His disciples came to Him, and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late:

Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, - while, he, was dismissing the multitude.

After He said good-bye to them, He went away to the mountain to pray.

Now when evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on the land.

And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out,

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased [as if exhausted by its own activity]; and they were completely overwhelmed,

For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.

the people ran round the whole of that country, and began to be carrying round, upon couches, them who were sick, wherever they heard that he was.

They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands 'defiled,' by which they meant unwashed.

(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

He replied, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture],

‘These people honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.

‘They worship Me in vain [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense],
Teaching the precepts of men as doctrines [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].’

For, leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men to keep washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves to keep.

For Moses said:

Honor your father and your mother; and
Whoever speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

there is nothing outside a man [such as food] which by going into him can defile him [morally or spiritually]; but the things which come out of [the heart of] a man are what defile and dishonor him.

[If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”]

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples asked him what he meant by this figure.

And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him?

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.

And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, [when she] heard about him, came [and] fell down at his feet,

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

Again, leaving the region of Tyre, He went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decapolis.

And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

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

And he charged them that they should be telling, no one, - but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?

And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before them.

The Pharisees arrived and began arguing with Jesus. They tested him by demanding from him a sign from heaven.

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,"

they explained His words to one another by saying, "We have no bread!"

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

so looking up, he said, I see men; for by their walking I distinguish them from trees.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

And he saith to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'

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

He was stating the matter plainly [not holding anything back]. Then Peter took Him aside and began to reprimand Him.

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

For whoever would [try to] save his life [i.e., by neglecting spiritual things] will lose it [i.e., miss out on the blessings of God]. But whoever [is willing] to lose his life [i.e., in commitment to God's service] for my sake and [the work of] the Gospel's sake, will save it [i.e., obtain both temporal and spiritual blessings].

For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?

For what could a man give to buy back his life?

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

and His clothes were shining as white as white could be, yea, whiter than any earthly bleacher could bleach them.

Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were having a conversation with Jesus.
