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

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

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

And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.

And he healed many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons; and allowed not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

And said unto him, See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was told that he was in the house.

And immediately many were gathered together, so much that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned among themselves, he said unto them, Why reason you these things in your hearts?

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

And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it in this fashion.

And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat to eat in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with tax collectors and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?

When Jesus heard it, he said unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up tears away from the old, and the tear is made worse.

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

And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

And he said unto them, Have you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?

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

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many; so much that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had diseases.

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

And he ordained 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 could not so much as eat bread.

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

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

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal judgment:

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

And others fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.

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

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are outside, all these things are done in parables:

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

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 unto them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.

For the earth brings forth fruit of itself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear.

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

But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all plants, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

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

And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish?

And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the most high God? I adjure you by God, that you torment me not.

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

And all the demons begged him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

And they came to Jesus, and saw him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And they that saw it told them what had happened to him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the demon asked him that he might be with him.

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,

And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that disease.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the child, and them that were with him, and entered in where the child was lying.

And he charged them sternly that no man should know it; and told them that something should be given her to eat.

And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

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

And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:

And he said unto them, In whatever place you enter into a house, there abide till you depart from that place.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and 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 healed them.

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and protected him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the girl, Ask of me whatsoever you will, and I will give it to you.

And she came in immediately with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that you give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

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

And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.

And he said unto them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift devoted to God, whatsoever you might have received from me; he shall be free.

There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

And he said unto them, Are you so without understanding also? Do you not perceive, that whatsoever thing from outside enters into the man, it cannot defile him;

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

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

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

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more zealously they proclaimed it;

So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken fragments that were left seven baskets.

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

And he said unto them, How is it that you do not understand?

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

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

And he said unto them, But who say you that I am? And Peter answered and said unto him, You are the Christ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of 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 scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get you behind me, Satan: for you consider not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of those that stand here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
