A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted because they were not.

and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

and Jesus being baptized went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and come upon him.

And walking by the lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

And his fame went out into all Syria; and they brought him all that were ill, afflicted with various diseases and torments, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them;

Rejoice and exult, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

And when Jesus had finished these words the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

And when it was evening they brought him many demoniacs, and he cast out the spirits with a word, and cured all that were sick,

And when the multitudes saw it they were afraid, and glorified God who had given such power to men.

But when the multitude were removed he went in and took her hand, and the girl arose.

and their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them strictly, saying, See that no one knows it.

And seeing the multitudes he had compassion on them because they were faint and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.

AT that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the sabbath; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pick the heads and eat.

But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

and coming to his native country he taught them in their synagogues, so that they were astonished and said, Whence has this man this wisdom and these mighty works?

And they were offended with him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his native country, and in his own house;

And they all eat and were filled; and they took up the fragments which remained over, twelve travelling-baskets full;

and those that eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were troubled and said, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.

And when the men of that place knew him, they sent to all the country around, and brought to him all that were sick,

and requested of him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were entirely cured.

Then the disciples came to him, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?

And they all eat and were filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, seven store-baskets full.

And those who eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments were white as the light.

And when they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, and were greatly afraid.

And as they were returning in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he shall be raised; and they were grieved exceedingly.

And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost.

Then his fellow-servants seeing what was done, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all things that were done.

For there are eunuchs from birth, who were born so from their mother; and there are eunuchs who are made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive [this doctrine] let him receive it.

Then little children were brought to him that he should put his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And the disciples hearing this, were greatly astonished, and said, Who then can be saved?

And the ten hearing this were displeased with the two brothers.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful works which he performed, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! they were displeased,

Then he said to his servants, The wedding indeed is ready, but the invited were not worthy.

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first married, and died; and having no children he left his wife to his brother;

And the multitudes who heard were astonished at his teaching.

And the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were assembled together,

And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened.

For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark,

and five of them were foolish, and five wise.

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were assembled in the court of the chief priest, who was called Caiaphas,

And his disciples seeing it were displeased, and said, Why is this waste?

And as they were eating, he said, I tell you truly, that one of you will betray me.

And as they were eating Jesus took the bread, and having blessed, broke and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy.

And having taken Jesus, they led him away to Caiaphas, the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled.

But Peter sat without in the court; and a female servant came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus the Galilean.

When, therefore, they were assembled together, Pilate said to them, Which do you wish me to release to you? Barabbas? or Jesus, called Christ?

Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

The robbers also that were crucified with him did the same, and reproached him.

and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of saints that slept arose,

And the centurion and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the [other] events which occurred, were greatly afraid, and said, Certainly, this was a Son of God.

And there were many women there, beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, to wait upon him;

among whom were Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

and Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite to the tomb.

AND on the next day, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees were assembled together to Pilate,

And they took the silver and did as they were told; and this report is circulated among the Jews to this day.

And all the country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting [a net] into the lake, for they were fishermen.

And proceeding a little further on he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; and they were in the ship mending the nets;

And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And all were astonished, so that they inquired among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching with authority, and does he command the impure spirits and they obey him?

And at evening when the sun went down they brought to him all that were sick, and the demoniacs;

And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and suffered not the demons to say that they knew him.

And some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoned in their minds,

And he was raised up and immediately taking his bed he went away before all; so that all were astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never saw the like.

How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the chief priest, and eat the show bread, which it was not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?

And he said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? And they were silent.

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land.

And dismissing the multitude, they took him as he was in the ship; and other ships also were with him.

And they were greatly afraid, and said one to another, What man is this, that even the wind and the lake obey him?

for he was often bound with fetters and chains, and his chains were broken by him, and his fetters crushed, and no one could subdue him.

And Jesus immediately permitted them. And the impure spirits going out entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, about two thousand, and were drowned in the lake.

And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac who had the legion, sitting down, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

and immediately the girl arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with great astonishment.

And when it was the sabbath, he taught in the synagogue; and many heard him and were astonished, and said, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him? And [what are] these mighty works done by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter? the son of Mary? and a brother of James, and Joset, and Judas, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended with him.

And he said to them, Come to a solitary place by yourselves, and rest a little; for many were coming and going, and there was no convenient time to eat.

And going out he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd; and he taught them much.

And they all eat, and were filled;

And they that eat the bread were five thousand men.

for they all saw and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them, Be of good courage; it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were astonished in themselves above measure, and wondered;

and ran about through that whole country, and brought those that were sick on beds where they heard that he was.

And wherever he went, in villages, or cities, or country places, they placed the sick in the markets, and besought him that they might touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as touched him were cured.

And immediately his ears were opened, and the cord of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke correctly.

And they were astonished above measure, and said, He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

And they eat and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained over, seven store-baskets;

and they were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.

for he knew not what he answered, for they were afraid.

And immediately all the multitude seeing him, were highly pleased, and ran forward and saluted him.

And he asked, What were you disputing about with them?

And they understood not the word, and were afraid to ask him.

And they were silent; for they had disputed with each other on the way as to who was the greatest.

And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, Children, with what difficulty shall those who trust in riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And they were greatly astonished, and said to themselves, Who then can be saved?

And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and afraid, as they followed him. And again taking the twelve aside, he told them the things that were about to befall him;

And the ten, hearing this, were displeased with James and John.
