Then were going forth to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round about the Jordan,

and they were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And, having been immersed, Jesus went up straightway from the water; and, behold, the heavens were opened; and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, coming upon Him;

Then the Devil leaves Him; and, behold, angels came and were ministering to Him.

The people that were sitting in darkness saw a great Light; and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death Light arose."

And, walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.

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

And it came to pass that, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching;

And, when it was evening, they brought to Him many demoniacs; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

And the demons were entreating Him, saying, "If Thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."

And, behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic laid upon a couch. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Child, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven."

And it came to pass, as He was reclining at table in the house, behold, many tax-collectors and sinners, having come, were reclining with Jesus and His disciples.

said, "Withdraw; for the damsel did not die, but is sleeping." And they were laughing at Him.

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

And, as they were going forth, behold, they have brought to Him a dumb man, a demoniac;

And, seeing the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.

And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?

Then He began to upbraid the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not repent.

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! because, if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes;

"And you, Capernaum, shall you be exalted to Heaven? You shall go down to Hades; because, if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

"All things were delivered to Me by My Father; and no one fully knows the Son except the Father; neither does any one fully know the Father except the Son, and he to whom the Son willeth to reveal Him.

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain-fields; and His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain, and to eat.

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the Son of David?"

While He was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and His brothers were standing without, seeking to speak to Him.

And there were gathered to Him great multitudes; so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down, and all the multitudes were standing on the beach.

And, the sun having risen, they were scorched; and, because they had no root, they withered away.

And others fell on the good ground, and were yielding fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.

and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.

And, coming into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Whence hath this Man this wisdom, and the mighty works?

And they were finding in Him occasion to stumble. And Jesus said to them "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

And, wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet.

And they all ate, and were satisfied; and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

And those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

And the disciples, seeing Him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear.

And, recognizing Him, the men of that place sent into all that region round about, and brought to Him all who were sick;

and they were beseeching Him, that they might only touch the border of His garment; and as many as touched it were made thoroughly well.

Then, His disciples, coming near, say to Him, "Knowest Thou that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, were made to stumble?"

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples, coming near, were beseeching Him, saying, "Send her away; for she is crying after us!"

And they all ate, and were satisfied; and they took up what was over of the pieces seven baskets full;

and those eating were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And they were deliberating among themselves, saying, "We took no bread."

And the disciples, hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly afraid.

And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of Man be raised from among the dead."

And, while they were assembled together 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 will be raised up." And they were grieved exceedingly.

Therefore, his fellow-servants, seeing what was done, were exceedingly grieved; and, going, they made known to their lord all that was done.

for there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."

Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

And the disciples, having heard it, were amazed exceedingly, saying, "Who, then, can be saved? "

"And those who were hired about the eleventh hour, coming, received, each, a denary.

And the ten, hearing it, were much displeased with the two brothers.

And, as they were going forth from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

And most of the multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the way.

And the multitudes, who were going before Him, and those who were following, were crying, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

And the high-priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things which He did, and the boys who were crying in the temple, and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" were much displeased,

The immersion of John??hence was it? from Heaven or from men?" And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why, then, did ye not believe him?'

And, while seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes, since they were holding Him as a prophet.

And he sent forth his servants to call those who had been invited to the marriage feast, and they were not willing to come.

Then he says to his servants, 'The marriage feast, indeed is ready; but those who had been invited were not worthy;

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first, marrying, died; and, not having seed, he left his wife to his brother.

And the multitudes, hearing Him, were astonished at His teaching.

But the Pharisees, hearing that He silenced the Sadducees, were collected together;

For as the days of Noe were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.

For, as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,

And five of them were foolish, and five wise;

Now, the bridegroom tarrying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping;

And, while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and the ready ones went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.

His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your lord.'

His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things: enter into the joy of your lord.'

Then the high priests and the elders of the people were gathered together into the court of the high priest who was called Caiaphas;

And the disciples, seeing it, were much displeased, saying, "To what purpose is this waste?

and, as they were eating, He said, "Verily I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

The Son of Man, indeed, goeth, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had never been born!"

And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing it, broke it, and giving to his disciples, said, "Take, eat, this is My body."

And He cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, "Were ye thus unable to watch with Me one hour?

And, coming again, He found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy.

And those who seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

And the high priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put Him to death;

And Peter was sitting without, in the court; and a certain maid-servant approached him, saying, "And you were with Jesus the Galilaean!"

When, therefore, they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do ye desire that I should release to you? Barabbas or Jesus Who is called Christ?"

But he said, "Why, what evil did He perform?" And they were crying out the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

And those passing by were reviling Him, wagging their heads,

Likewise also the high priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying,

And the robbers, who were crucified with Him, were reproaching Him with the same thing.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were rent;

and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the things that were taking places were exceedingly frightened, saying, Truly, This was a Son of God!"

And many women were there, beholding from afar, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him;

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

And on the morrow which, indeed, is the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

saying, Sir, we were reminded that that Deceiver said, while yet living, 'After three days I rise again;'

and, from fear of him, those keeping watch were shaken, and became as dead.

And, as they were going, behold, some of the guard going into the city, reported to the high priests all that had happened.

saying, "Say ye that His disciples, coming by night, stole Him, while we were sleeping.

And they, taking the silver, did as they were instructed. And this account was spread abroad among the Jews, until this day.

And there went out to him all the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And He was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts; and the angels were ministering to Him.

And, passing along by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.

And they were astonished at His teaching; for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? A new teaching! With authority He commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!"
