And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

for He was teaching them as one who had authority [to teach entirely of His own volition], and not as their scribes [who relied on others to confirm their authority].

And when he had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.

And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

Then Jesus said to the captain, "Go; as you have had faith, your prayer is granted." And the servant was cured at that very hour.

And when Jesus had come to Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law laid down and in a fever;

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

Seeing great crowds about Him Jesus had given directions to cross to the other side of the Lake,

And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.

When He had come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met Him as they came out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

“Go!” He told them. So when they had come out, they entered the pigs. And suddenly the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water.

But they that fed them fled, and went away into the city and related everything, and what had happened as to those possessed by demons.

At once all the citizens came out to meet Jesus; and when they had seen him, they begged him to move away from their country.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Jesus was at table indoors, and many taxgatherers and sinners had come to be guests with him and his disciples.

And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

because she had been saying to herself, "If I just touch his robe, I will get well."

Now when Jesus had come into the house of the ruler, and had seen the flute-players and the wailing crowd, he said,

But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."

and they had their sight: but Jesus gave them a strict charge, saying, take care not to let any man know it:

But they, when they had departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man, who had been demon-possessed.

And [after] the demon had been expelled, the one who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were astonished, saying, "{This has never been seen before} in Israel!"

And [when he] saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd.

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

Have no fear of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. You had better be afraid of one who can destroy both soul and body in the pit.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

When the messengers had taken their leave, Jesus proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?

The one who has ears had better listen!

Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

But I say to you, That one greater than the temple is here. And if ye had known what that meaneth,

But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

And when he had departed thence, he went into their synagogue.

And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

But He said to them, “What man among you, if he had a sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, wouldn’t take hold of it and lift it out?

Then he said to the man. "Stretch out your hand." The man stretched it out; and it had become as sound as the other.

The man stretched it out, and it had become sound like the other. But when the Pharisees came out, they consulted together how they might destroy him.

charging them strictly not to make him known ??17 it was for the fulfilment of what had been said by the prophet Isaiah,

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

And I say to you, a person will [have to] give an account [to God] on the day of judgment for every careless word he had spoken [while on earth].

And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him,

To the one who had said this, Jesus replied, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?"

That same day Jesus had left the house and was sitting on the shore of the Lake,

And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

The one who has ears had better listen!"

For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one [i.e., the devil] comes to him and grabs away what had been sown in his heart. This is the person who was scattered to the side of the road.

But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

Jesus said all this to the crowds in parables; he never spoke to them except in a parable ??35 to fulfil what had been said by the prophet, I will open my mouth in parables, I will speak out what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.

When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears had better listen!

"The kingdom from heaven is like treasure hidden in a field that a man found and hid. In his excitement he went and sold everything he had and bought that field."

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

and governor of that district] heard the report about what Jesus had been saying and doing.

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

for John had said to him, “It is not lawful (morally right) for you to have her [living with you as your wife].”

Now King Herod became very distressed [over such a gruesome request]; but because he had [promised with] oaths and [to look good in front of] his party guests, he ordered John's head to be given [to her].

He sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, "This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."

Jesus ordered the people to take their seats on the grass; and, taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing, and, after he had broken the loaves, gave them to his disciples; and they gave them to the crowds.

And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

And he said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.

And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

So when he had summoned the crowd, and seated them upon the ground,

and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and when He had given thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the people.

And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

Now those who had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

Then they perceived that He had not warned them against bread-yeast, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day.

And after six days [had passed], Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John aside and went up into a high mountain [i.e., an unidentified mountain nearby].

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
