And in fulfillment of this, John the Baptizer appeared in the Wilderness, proclaiming a baptism upon repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.

There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.

And John was clothed with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,

And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.

and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."

upon this his fame immediately spread abroad over all the region of Galilee.

So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.

Some time after he returned to Capernaum; upon the rumour that he was there,

When they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus; and when they had dug out an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying.

But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:

No one, seweth a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, - otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it - the new from the old - and, a worse rent is made.

upon which the Pharisees said to him, pray observe how they trespass on the sabbath-day.

And looking round upon them with anger, distressed at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

upon this the Pharisees withdrew, and immediately enter'd into a conspiracy with the Herodians to take away his life.

And he spoke to his disciples, in order that a little ship should wait upon him on account of the crowd, that they might not press upon him.

For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And he goeth up upon a mountain, and calleth to him whom he would: and they came to him.

After this they went into an house, and the crowd press'd again upon them, so as to hinder them from taking their meal.

So if Satan has risen in arms and has made war upon himself, stand he cannot, but meets his end.

And having looked round upon those sitting round about him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren!

And, again, began he to be teaching by the sea; and there come together unto him a very great multitude, so that, he, into a boat, entering, was sitting upon the sea, - -and, all the multitude, were, near the sea upon the land.

some of the seed happened to fall by the wayside, which the birds light upon, and devoured.

and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth,

And some fell upon good ground: and did yield fruit that sprang and grew: and brought forth some thirty fold, some sixty fold, and some a hundred fold."

and he said to them: "The open secret of the Realm of God is granted to you, but these outsiders get everything by way of parables,

And these are those where the word is sown by the way; and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word which was sown upon them.

And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places , who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;

but having no root at the bottom, they are only occasional professors, for if they meet with any trouble or persecution upon account of the word, immediately they revolt.

And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.

And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? Is it not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come into the open.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'

and he was always night and day upon the hills and among the sepulchres bawling, and gashing himself with stones.

now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountain;

and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

"Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."

About then a man named Jairus, one of the officials of the synagogue, came to Jesus and, upon seeing Him, fell to the ground at His feet.

and he besought him much, saying, My little daughter is at extremity; I pray that thou shouldest come and lay thy hands upon her so that she may be healed, and may live.

He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides.

And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing upon you, and you say 'Who touched me?'"

And the woman, afraid and trembling, having known what bad been upon her, came and fell down before him, and spake all the truth to him.

Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."

As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.

upon which they fell a laughing: however, having turned them all out, and taking with him the father and the mother of the damsel, and those that had accompany'd him, he entred in where the damsel was lying.

And immediately the little girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years old. [Upon seeing this] the people were completely amazed.

when the sabbath was come, he preach'd in the synagogue, to the great astonishment of many, who upon hearing his discourse, said, how came he by all this? what strange endowment of knowledge is this, that he should work such miracles?

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

then they departed, and call'd upon all to repent.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

upon which John told him, "it is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

because Herod had a respect for John, knowing him to be a very honest good man, and therefore protected him; having reform'd many things upon his remonstrances, which he us'd to receive very graciously.

however, a favourable opportunity happen'd for her, upon Herod's making an entertainment the birth-night, for all the great officers of the court, and army, and persons of the first distinction in Galilee.

And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

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

And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon 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.

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

For they reflected not upon the loaves, for their heart was hardened.

And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

And when they returned from the open shopping markets they refused to eat [anything] until they washed themselves [or "it," that is, the food, thoroughly]. There were also many other traditions which they [strictly] observed, like washing cups, pots and copper kettles [thoroughly].) [Note: The most accurate Greek manuscripts do not add "and beds" in this verse].

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

Jesus taking him aside from the crowd, spit upon his fingers, and applied them to the ears and to the tongue of the deaf man.

and looking up to Heaven He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Open!")

And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,

And a profound impression was made upon the people. "He has done everything well!" they exclaimed. "He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!"

'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude.

And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

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.

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

upon which he gave them a severe charge, not to say that of him to any man.

And this He spake plainly and openly. Upon which Peter began to rebuke Him.

But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith - Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.

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

and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them.

Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him and obey Him!”

They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

And immediately, upon seeing Jesus, the entire crowd ran to greet Him in great amazement [i.e., possibly over His sudden appearance].

and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."

And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.

And he asked his father, How long a time is it since this came upon him? And he said, From a little child;

and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.

at which they were silent, for upon the road they had disputed about precedency.

Whosoever, unto, one ofthese children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.

Upon this occasion John address'd himself to Jesus, saying, master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, tho' he did not belong to us, for which reason we opposed him.

And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones, that believe in me, to offend, it were better for him, if a milstone were laid upon his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

If your hand makes you fall, cut it off. You might better enter upon life maimed, than go with both your hands to the pit, into the fire that cannot be put out.

And if your foot makes you fall, cut it off. You might better enter upon life crippled, than be thrown with both your feet into the pit.

where the worm that feeds upon them never dies and the fire is never put out.

and the two of them will [then] become one flesh [i.e., united in such a close relationship as to constitute one body], so that [upon becoming husband and wife] they no longer function as two persons but as one body.

Then they brought young children to him, that he might lay his hands upon them: but his disciples rebuked those that presented them.
