Jesus saith to him, "You said it: nevertheless I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, "He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye just now heard the blasphemy!

And, entering into a boat, He crossed over, and came into His own city. 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, behold, some of the scribes said among themselves, "This Man is blaspheming! " read more.
And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why think ye evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Arise, and walk.' "But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins" (then saith He to the paralytic), "Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house." And, having arisen, he went to his house; and, seeing it, the multitudes feared, and glorified God, Who gave such authority to men. And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the tax-office, and He saith to him, "Follow Me." And, rising up, he followed Him. 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. And the Pharisees, seeing it, said to His disciples, Why is your Teacher eating with the tax-collectors and sinners?" And Jesus, hearing it, said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are ill. But, going, learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice;' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Thy disciples fast not?" Jesus said to them, "Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn while the Bridegroom is with them! But there will come days, when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast." "And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse rent is made." "Neither do they put new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise, indeed, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved together." While He is speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come to Him, was worshiping Him, saying, "My daughter just now died; but, coming, lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live." And Jesus, having risen, was following him, also His disciples. And, behold, a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, having come up behind Him, touched the border of His garment; for she was saying within herself, "If I only touch His garment, I shall be made well." And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour. And Jesus, having come into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude making a tumult, said, "Withdraw; for the damsel did not die, but is sleeping." And they were laughing at Him. But, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, He took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose. And the report of this went forth into all that land.

And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath, going into the synagogue, He was teaching. And they were astonished at His teaching; for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes. And straight-way there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, read more.
saying, "What is there to us and Thee, Jesus, Nazarene? didst Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee Who Thou art, the Holy One of God." And Jesus rebuked it, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him." And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him, and having cried with a loud voice, came out of him. 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!" And the report of Him went out straightway everywhere into the whole region of Galilee round about. And, straightway coming out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. And Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with fever, and straightway they tell Him of her; and, coming to her, He raised her up, having taken her by the hand; and the fever left her, and she was ministering to them. And at evening, when the sun did set, they were bringing to Him all who were sick, and those possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. And He healed many that were sick with many kinds of diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him [to be the Christ]. And, having risen very early, by night, He went out into a desert place, and was there praying. And Simon and those with Him followed after Him, and found Him, and say to Him, "All are seeking Thee." And He saith to them, "Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end I came forth." And He went into their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, preaching, and casting out the demons. And there comes to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, "If Thou wilt, Thou canst cleanse me!" And Jesus, moved with compassion, and stretching forth His hand, touched him, and saith to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." And straight-way the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And having strictly charged him, He straightway sent him away, and saith to him, "See that you say nothing to any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses directed, for a testimony to them." But he, going forth, began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter; so that He could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places. And they were coming to Him from every quarter.

And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there, having his hand withered. And they were watching Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath; that they might accuse Him. And He saith to the man having the withered hand, "Arise in the midst." read more.
And He saith to them, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save a life, or to kill?" But they were silent. And having looked round about on them with anger, and being grieved at the hardness of their heart, He saith to the man, "Stretch forth your hand." And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored. And the Pharisees, having gone out, were straightway taking counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

After He finished all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, being ill, was about to die. And, having heard about Jesus, he sent to Him elders of the Jews, asking Him, that, having come, He would thoroughly save his servant. read more.
And they, coming to Jesus, were earnestly beseeching Him, saying, "He is worthy for whom Thou shalt do this; for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us." And Jesus was going with them. And now, when He was not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, trouble not Thyself; for I am not worthy that Thou shouldest come under my roof. Wherefore, neither thought I myself worthy to come to Thee; but speak with a word, and let my boy be healed; for I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself; and I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning, He said to the multitude following Him, "I say to you, not even in Israel did I find such faith!" And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the servant well.

He came, therefore, again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. This man, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to Him, and was asking Him, that He would come down, and heal his son, for he was about to die. Jesus, therefore, said to him, "Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe." read more.
The nobleman says to Him, "Sir, Come down, before my child die!" Jesus saith to him, "Go your way; your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spake to him, and went his way. And, as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son was living. He inquired of them, therefore, the hour when he began to mend. They said, therefore, to him, "Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him." The father, therefore, knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives;" and he himself believed, and his whole house.

and, entering into a boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum; and it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. And, a strong wind blowing, the sea was being much raised. Having rowed, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. read more.
But He saith to them, "It is I; be not afraid." They were willing, therefore, to receive Him into the boat; and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going. On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Jesus, entered not with His disciples into the boat, but His disciples went away alone (yet there came boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks): when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. And, having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when camest Thou hither?"
