And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.

And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.

And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And he said to them: Let us go into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for I have come forth for this purpose.

and said to him: See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to publish the matter abroad, so that he was no longer able to enter a city openly, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.

And immediately many came together, so that the house could contain them no longer, nor could the space about the door. And he preached the word to them.

And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts?

But that you may know that the Son of man on earth has authority to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic,)

And he arose forthwith, and took up his bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying: We have never seen it thus.

And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?

And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the fields of grain: and his disciples began, as they went, to pull the ears of grain.

And they watched him, whether he would cure him on the sabbath-day, that they might accuse him.

And the Pharisees immediately went out with the Herodians, and held a consultation against him, that they might destroy him.

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should continue near him, because of the multitude, that they might not press upon him.

For he cured many, so that as many as had diseases rushed upon him, that they might touch him.

And he strictly charged them, that they should not make him known.

And he appointed twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

and the multitude came together again, so that they were not able even to eat bread.

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom can not stand.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house can not stand.

And again he began to teach by the sea; and a great multitude came together to him, so that he went into a ship, and sat in the sea: and the whole multitude was on the land near the sea.

and it came to pass, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and ate it up.

And other seed fell in the good ground, and produced fruit that grew up and increased, and produced, one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

that they may surely see, and not perceive; and that they may surely hear, and not understand; lest they should turn to me, and their sins should be forgiven them.

These are they that received seed by the wayside, where the word is sown; and when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

And these are they that, in like manner, received seed in stony places: who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy:

And these are they that received seed among thorns; who hear the word,

And these are they that received seed on the good ground; who hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said to them: Is a lamp brought in that it may be put under the measure, or under the divan? Is it not brought that it may be put on the lamp-stand?

For there is nothing hid that shall not be made known; nor has any thing been concealed, but that it may come into open view.

And he said to them: Take heed how you hear; with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you that hear, more shall be given;

for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.

It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the ground, is less than all seeds that are in the ground;

yet, when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes larger than all garden-plants, and sends out great branches, so that the birds of the air can roost under its shadow.

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves dashed into the ship, so that it was now full.

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on the pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him: Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?

And he said to them: Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

And he earnestly besought him that he would not send them out of the country.

And the demons besought him, saying: Send us to the swine, that we may enter into them.

And when he had entered the ship, he that had been possessed with the demons besought him that he might be with him.

And he did not permit him, but said to him: Go home to your relatives, and make known to them what things the Lord has done for you, and that he has had compassion on you.

and besought him earnestly, saying: My little daughter is at the point of death; come, lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved, and she will live.

and had suffered much from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was in no way benefited, but rather grew worse,

And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in her body that she was cured of that plague.

And Jesus, immediately perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, turned around in the multitude and said: Who touched my clothes?

And he looked around to see her that had done this.

And he charged them strictly that no one should know this. And he commanded that something should be given her to eat.

And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said: Whence has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that even such mighty deeds are done by his hands?

And he was unable to do any mighty deed there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick persons and cured them;

And he said to them: Wherever you enter a house, there make your home till you depart from that place.

And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out from that place, shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

And they went out and preached that men should repent;

and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and cured them.

And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser.

And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep that had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

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

and ran through the whole of that region round about, and began to carry the sick on beds, wherever they heard that he was.

And whatever place he entered, whether villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his mantle: and as many as touched him were saved.

and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:

And he said to them: Well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.

There is nothing with out that, by entering into a man, can defile him. But those things which come out of the man, defile him.

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?

And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man.

And he arose and departed thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.

And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed, and commanded that they also be set before them.

And the Pharisees came out, and began to put questions to him, asking of him a sign from heaven, that they might tempt him.

And he said to them: How is it that you do not understand?

And Jesus and his disciples went out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Who do men say that I am?

And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.

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

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came from the cloud, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

And they asked him, saying: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

And he answered and said to them: Elijah comes first, and restores all things, and, as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be despised, so Elijah is to suffer.

But I say to you, that Elijah has already come, and they have clone to him what they wished: [as it is written of him.]

Jesus said to him: If you are able to believe, all things are possible to him that believes.

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to it: Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more.

And the spirit cried out, and threw him into strong convulsions, and came out of him; and he was like one dead, so that many said: He is dead.

Whoever will receive one of such children on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives not me, but him that sent me.

But Jesus said: Forbid him not; for there is no one that will do a mighty deed in my name, and be able readily to speak evil of me.

For he that is not against us, is for us.

And whoever will ensnare one of these little ones that believe on me, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

And if your hand ensnare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter maimed into life, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And if your foot en snare you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to Be thrown into hell, into the fire that is not quenched,

And the Pharisees came to him, and that they might tempt him, asked him the question: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

And as he was going forth into the road, one ran and bowed the knee to him, and asked him: Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is God.

But becoming sad at that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

And Jesus answering, said: Verily I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel,

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

They said to him: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy glory.
