And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?

And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.

And seeing 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 the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

For he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been 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 not to command them to go away into the abyss.

Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.

And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.

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

Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

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

And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.

And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.

But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.

And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.

But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.

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

And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.

And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;

But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And it came to pass as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, 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 chosen Son; hear him."

And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.

But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.

And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,

and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.

And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.

But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.

And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.

And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.

And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodgingplaces; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.

And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.

After these things, the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come.

He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.

All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.

And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?

And he said to him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou?

And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; do this, and thou shalt live.

Jesus answering said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who after stripping him of his raiment, and wounding him, departed, leaving him half dead.

And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion,

and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And the next day, he took out two denaries and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, I, when I come back, will repay thee.

Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?

And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me.

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

for a friend of mine hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?

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.

For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.

And what father is there, among you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or if he ask for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?

or, if he ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

If ye then, though evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

and others, to make trial of him, asked of him a sign from heaven.

but when one stronger than he cometh upon him and overcometh him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

And it came to pass, as he was saying these things, that a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts from which thou drewest nourishment.

And when the crowds were thronging about him, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation; it seeketh a sign; and no sign will be given it, but the sign of Jonah.

And when he had done speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at the table.

But the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inside is full of rapacity and wickedness.

And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also.

And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things,

But I will warn you whom to fear; fear him who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, fear him.

And I say to you, Every one that acknowledgeth me before men, him will the Son of man also acknowledge before the angels of God.

And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but to him that hath blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

And one from the multitude said to him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.

But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

But God said to him, Fool! this night will thy soul he required of thee; and whose will those things be which thou hast laid up?

and be yourselves like men waiting for the return of their lord from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.

And Peter said to him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?

I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance.

the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.

but he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.

When thou art going with thine adversary at law to the magistrate, take pains, while on the way, to be released by him; lest he drag thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.

And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;

But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away and water him?

And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,

In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.

And it came to pass, when he had come into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

And lo! there was a certain man before him, who had the dropsy.

But they were silent. And taking hold of him, he cured him, and sent him away.

And he answered them and said, Who is there of you, who, if his son or his ox fall into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the sabbathday?

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not take the highest place, lest one more honorable than thou may have been invited by him;

and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this man; and then thou wilt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
