And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

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

And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;

And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.

But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

And he entered again into Capernaum after several days, and it was reported that he was at the house;

and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.

And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,

And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before them all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.

And it came to pass as he lay at table in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners lay at table with Jesus and his disciples; for they were many, and they followed him.

And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing him eating with sinners and tax-gatherers, said to his disciples, Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax-gatherers and sinners?

And Jesus having heard it says to them, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those who are ill. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.

But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then shall they fast in that day.

And it came to pass that he went on the sabbath through the cornfields; and his disciples began to walk on, plucking the ears.

how he entered into the house of God, in the section of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the shew-bread, which it is not lawful unless for the priests to eat, and gave even to those that were with him?

so that the Son of man is lord of the sabbath also.

And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

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 healed many, so that they beset him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues.

And he rebuked them much, that they might not make him manifest.

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

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

And again a crowd comes together, so that they cannot even eat bread.

And if a kingdom has become divided against itself, that kingdom cannot subsist.

And if a house has become divided against itself, that house cannot subsist.

Verily I say unto you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and all the injurious speeches with which they may speak injuriously;

And looking around in a circuit at those that were sitting around him, he says, Behold my mother and my brethren:

And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.

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

that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.

and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

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 hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.

and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.

And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:

And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.

And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?

And they feared with great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

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

and they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine that we may enter into them.

And those that were feeding them fled and reported it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had taken place.

And they come to Jesus, and they see the possessed of demons sitting and clothed and sensible, him that had had the legion: and they were afraid.

And they that had seen it related to them how it had happened to the man possessed by demons, and concerning the swine.

And as he went on board ship, the man that had been possessed by demons besought him that he might be with him.

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.

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

And immediately Jesus, knowing in himself the power that had gone out of him, turning round in the crowd said, Who has touched my clothes?

And they derided him. But he, having put them all out, takes with him the father of the child, and the mother, and those that were with him, and enters in where the child was lying.

And he charged them much that no one should know this; and he desired that something should be given her to eat.

And when sabbath was come he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing were amazed, saying, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom that is given to him, and such works of power are done by his hands?

And he could not do any work of power there, save that laying his hands on a few infirm persons he healed them.

and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt;

And they went forth and preached that they should repent;

for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

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.

send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

But they, seeing him walking on the sea, thought that it was an apparition, and cried out.

they ran through that whole country around, and began to carry about those that were ill on couches, where they heard that he was.

And wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the market-places, and besought him that they might touch if it were only the hem of his garment; and as many as touched him were healed.

and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

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.

But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, It is corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,

And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

And they bring to him a deaf man who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

And he charged them that they should speak to no one of it. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;

In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to him, he says to them,

And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke them and gave them to his disciples, that they might set them before them; and they set them before the crowd.

And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.

And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ.

And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.

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 of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here that shall not taste death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God come in power.

And Peter answering says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good that we should be here; and let us make three tabernacles, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elias one.

And as they descended from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate to no one what they had seen, unless when the Son of man should be risen from among the dead.

And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among the dead was.

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

And he answering said to them, Elias indeed, having first come, restores all things; and how is it written of the Son of man that he must suffer much, and be set at nought:

but I say unto you that Elias also is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.

and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.

And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst do anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.

And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is if thou couldst believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

But Jesus, seeing that the crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

And having cried out and torn him much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.

And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew it;

and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh.

And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought them.

And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to him, and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
