And He, answering, saith to them, "O faithless generation! how long shall I be with you! how long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." And they brought him to Him. And, seeing Him, the spirit straightway convulsed him; and, falling upon the ground, he was wallowing, foaming. And He asked his father, "How long a time is it since this has befallen him?"

And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."


And, rising up, He went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And the mother-in-law of Simon was afflicted with a great fever; and they besought Him concerning her. And, standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, immediately rising up, she was ministering to them.

And those feeding them fled; and, going away into the city, they reported all things, and the things relating to the demoniacs. And, behold, all the city came forth to meet Jesus; and, seeing Him, they besought Him, that He would depart from their borders.

And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. And, when He came out of the boat, straightway there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling in the tombs; and no one could any longer bind him, not even with a chain; read more.
because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no one had strength to tame him. And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying, and cutting himself with stones. And, seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him; and, crying with a loud voice, he says, "What is there to me and Thee, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me not!" For He said to him, "Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man!" And He asked him, "What is your name?"

And they come to Jesus, and behold the demoniac sitting, clothed, and having his right mind??he one who had had the legion, and they were afraid. And those who saw it declared to them how it befell the demoniac, and concerning the swine. And they began to beseech Him to depart from their borders. And, as He was entering into the boat, he that had been a demoniac was beseeching Him, that he might be with Him. And He did not permit him, but saith to him, "Go to your house, to your own people, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for you, and how He had mercy on you."

For He was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for many times had it seized him, and he was bound with chains and fetters, kept under guard; and, bursting the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts. And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," (because many demons entered into him). And they were entreating Him, that He would not command them to go away into the abyss. And there was there a herd of many swine in the mountains; and they besought Him that He would permit them to enter into them. And He permitted them. And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned. And those feeding them, seeing what had taken place, fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what had taken place; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons went out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and having his right mind; and they were afraid. And those who saw it reported to them how the demon-possessed man was delivered. And the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them; because they were being constrained by great fear. And He, entering into a boat, returned. And the man, from whom the demons had gone forth, was begging Him that he might be with Him; but He sent him away, saying, "Return to your house, and relate how great things God did for you." And he departed, publishing through all the city how great things Jesus did for him.

But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, "This Man doth not cast out the demons, except by Beelzebub, prince of the demons." read more.
And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom, divided against itself, is brought to naught; and every city or house, divided against itself, shall not stand. And, if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how, then, shall his kingdom stand And, if I by Beelzebub cast out the demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. But, if I by the Spirit of God cast out the demons, then the Kingdom of God came upon you unexpectedly. Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and seize upon his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathers not with Me scatters. Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven, neither in this age nor in that which is to come. Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree worthless and its fruit worthless; for from the fruit the tree is known. "Broods of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being yourselves evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The good man, out of his good treasure, puts forth good things; and the evil man, out of his evil treasure, puts forth evil things. And I say to you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account concerning it in the day of judgment; for by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned."

And Jesus saith to him, "See that you tell no one: but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

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. read more.
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 it came to pass, while He was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy; and, when he saw Jesus, falling on his face, he besought Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean." And, stretching forth His hand, He touched him, saying, "I am willing; be made clean." And straightway the leprosy departed from him.

And, having passed on thence, He came into their synagogue. And, behold, a man having a withered hand; and they questioned Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?" that they might accuse Him. And He said to them "What man of you who shall have one sheep; and, if this should fall into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay hold of it, and raise it up? read more.
How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep! Therefore, it is lawful to do well on the sabbath." Then saith He to the man, "Stretch forth your hand." And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole as the other.

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 it came to pass on another sabbath, that He entered into the synagogue, and taught. And there was a man there, and his right hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, whether He would heal on the sabbath: that they might find how to accuse Him. But He knew their thoughts; and He said to the man having the withered hand, "Arise, and stand forth in the midst." And, rising up, he stood. read more.
And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil??o save a soul, or to destroy it?"

But they were filled with madness, and were conferring one with another as to what they should do to Jesus.


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, having entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that He was in the house. And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even about the door; and He was speaking the word to them. And they come, bringing to Him a paralytic, borne by four. read more.
And not being able to bring him to Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was; and, having broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. And Jesus, seeing their faith, saith to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven." But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, "Why doth this Man speak thus? He blasphemeth! Who can forgive sins but One, God?" And straightway Jesus, perceiving in His spirit that they so reason within themselves, saith to them, "Why do ye reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?' But, that ye may know the Son of Man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (He saith to the paralytic). I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." And he arose, and, straightway taking up the bed, went forth before them all; so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw it thus!"

And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching; and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present with Him to heal. And, behold, men bearing on a couch a man who was a paralytic, and they were seeking to bring him in, and place him before Him. And, not finding by what means they might bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the housetop, they let him down through the tiles with the couch, into the midst, before Jesus. read more.
And, beholding their faith, He said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you." And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is This that is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God only?" But Jesus, perceiving their reasonings, answering, said to them, "Concerning what are ye reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise and walk?' But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins (He said to the paralyzed man), I say to you, arise; and, taking up your couch, go to your house." And, immediately rising up before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he departed to his house, glorifying God. And astonishment seized them all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We saw wonderful things to-day!"


And, leaving them, He went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there. And in the morning, returning into the city, He hungered. And, seeing one fig tree by the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon except leaves only. And He saith to it, "No more may fruit come from you forever." And immediately the fig tree withered away! read more.
And the disciples, seeing it, wondered, saying, "How quickly the fig tree withered away!" And Jesus, answering, said to them, "Verily I say to you, if ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only the withering of the fig tree shall ye accomplish, but, even if ye say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea,' it shall be done. And all things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

And on the morrow, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. And, seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came, if perhaps He might find something thereon. And, having come to it, He found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs. And, answering, He said to it, "May no one eat fruit from you any more forever!" And His disciples heard it.

And, passing by the next morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, calling to remembrance, says to Him, "Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which Thou didst curse has withered away!" And Jesus, answering, saith to them, "Have the faith of God. read more.
Verily I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it. Therefore, I say to you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.


And, going forth thence, Jesus withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a Canaanitish woman, having come forth out of those borders, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon!" 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!" read more.
But He, answering, said, "I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she, coming, was worshiping Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" And He, answering, said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs." But she said, "Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from the master's table." Then Jesus, answering, said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! be it done to you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And, rising up, He went thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and, entering into a house, He wished no one to know it. And He could not be hid. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of Him, coming, fell down at His feet. And the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she kept asking Him to cast forth the demon out of her daughter. read more.
And He said to her, "Suffer the children first to be satisfied; for it is not good to take the children's bread, and cast it to the little dogs." But she answered, and says to Him, "Yes, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs." And He said to her, "Because of this word go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter." And, going away into her own house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.


And straight-way there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 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." read more.
And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him, and having cried with a loud voice, came out of him.

And in the synagogue there was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, "Ha! what is there to us and to 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 from him." And the demon, hurling him into the midst, came out from him, having injured him naught. read more.
And amazement came upon all; and they were talking together, one with another, saying, "What is this word, that with authority and power He commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out!"


And Jesus, having called His disciples near, said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest haply they faint in the way." And His disciples say to Him, "Whence should we, in a wilderness, have so many loaves as to satisfy so great a multitude?" And Jesus saith to them, "How many loaves have ye?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fishes." read more.
And, having commanded the multitude to recline on the ground, He took the seven loaves and the fishes; giving thanks, He broke, and was giving to the disciples; and the disciples to the multitudes. 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, dismissing the multitudes, He went up into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.

In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, He called to Him His disciples and saith to them, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and, if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; and some of them are from afar." read more.
And His disciples answered Him, "Whence will any one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in a desert place?" And He asked them, "how many loaves have ye?" And they said, "Seven." And He commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground; and, taking the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke, and was giving to the disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. And they had a few small fishes; and, having blessed them, He commanded to set these also before them. And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the pieces that remained over, seven baskets. And they were about four thousand; and He sent them away.


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.

And, when He entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a centurion, beseeching Him. and saying, "Lord, my boy has been prostrated in my house, a paralytic, fearfully afflicted." And He saith to him, "Having gone, I will heal him." read more.
And the centurion, answering, said, "Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldest enter under my roof, but only speak in a word, and my boy shall be healed; for I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers; 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 Jesus, hearing it, wondered, and said to those following Him, "Verily I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find such faith. And I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the Kingdom of Heaven; but the sons of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness; there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth." And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; as you believed, be it done to you." And the boy was healed in that hour.


And it came to pass, when He was journeying to Jerusalem, that He was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And, as He was entering into a certain village, there met Him ten leprous men, who stood afar off; and they lifted up their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" read more.
And, when He saw them, He said to them, "Going your way, show yourselves to the priests." And it came to pass that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, seeing that he was cleansed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice, and fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus, answering, said, "Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Were none found, returning to give glory to God, except this stranger?" And He said to him, "Arising, go on your way; your faith has made you whole."


And, when they came into Capernaum, those receiving the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, "Doth not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?" He says, "Yes." And Jesus anticipated him as he came into the house, saying, "What do you think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive tax or tribute? from their sons, or from the aliens?" And, when he said, "From the aliens," Jesus said to him, "Consequently the sons are free; read more.
but, that we may not cause them to stumble; having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the fish first coming up; and, opening its mouth, you will find a shekel; taking that, give it to them for Me and you."


And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and wholly unable to raise herself up. And Jesus, seeing her, called and said to her, "Woman, you have been loosed from your infirmity." read more.
And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and was glorifying God. But the synagogue-ruler, answering, (being much displeased that Jesus healed her on the sabbath), said to the multitude, "There are six days in which it behooves us to work; in these, therefore, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath day." And the Lord answered him, and said, "Hypocrites! does not each one of you, on the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass from the stall; and, leading it away, water it? And was it not right that this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, eighteen years, should have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?" And, when He said these things, all those opposing Him were being put to shame, and all the multitude were rejoicing because of all the glorious things which were being done by Him.


Now a certain one was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha. And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. The sisters, therefore, sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick." read more.
And Jesus, hearing it, said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it. Now Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When, therefore, He heard that he was sick, He then abode two days in the place where He was. Then, after this, He saith to the disciples, "Let us go into Judaea again." The disciples say to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone Thee; and art Thou going there again?" Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world; but, if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him." These things He spake; and after this He saith to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going to awake him out of sleep." The disciples, therefore, said to Him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover!" Now Jesus had spoken concerning his death; but they thought He spake of taking rest in sleep. Then, therefore, Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus died. And I am glad, for your sakes, (in order that ye may believe), that I was not there. But let us go to him." Thomas, who is called Dydimus, said, therefore, to His fellow-disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him." Jesus, therefore, having come, found that he had already been four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him; but Mary was sitting in the house. Martha, therefore, said to Jesus, "Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died; and now I know that, whatsoever Thou shalt ask of God, God will give Thee." Jesus saith to her, "Your brother shall rise again." Martha says to Him, "I know that he will rise again, in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes on Me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever lives and believes on Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" She says to Him, "Yea, Lord; I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, He Who was to come into the world." And, saying this, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, "The Teacher is present, and calleth for you." And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went to Him. (Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.) The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb, to weep there. Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died." Jesus, therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, groaned in the spirit, and troubled Himself; and He said, "Where have ye laid Him?" They say to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. The Jews, therefore, said, "Behold, how He was loving him! And some of them said, "Could not This Man, Who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not die?" Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it. Jesus saith, "Take ye away the stone." The sister of the deceased, Martha, says to Him, "Lord, already he is decaying; for he has been dead four days." Jesus saith to her, "Did I not say to you that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank Thee, because Thou didst hear Me. And I knew that Thou always hearest Me; but, because of the multitude standing around, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send Me." And, having spoken these words, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, "Loose him, and let him go." Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary and beheld what He did, believed on Him; but some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did.


And those about Him, seeing what was about to follow, said, "Lord, shall we smite with the sword?" And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear. But Jesus, answering, said, "Suffer ye thus far." And, touching the ear, He healed him.


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. This again is a second sign that Jesus did, after having come out of Judaea into Galilee.


And it came to pass soon afterwards that He went to a city called Nain; and there were going with Him His disciples, and a large multitude. And, as He came near to the gate of the city, behold, also there was being carried out one dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd of the city was with her. And, seeing her, the Lord was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, "Weep not." read more.
And, going forward, He touched the bier; and those bearing it stood still; and He said, "Young man, I say to you, Arise!" And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother. And fear seized on all; and they were glorifying God, saying, "A great prophet was raised up among us," and "God did visit His people."


And, as Jesus was passing on thence, two blind men followed Him, crying out, and saying, "Have mercy on us, O Son of David!" And the blind men came to Him, when He entered into the house; and He saith to them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" They say to Him, "Yes, Lord." Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." read more.
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, "See that no one know it." But they, having gone forth, spread abroad His fame in all that land.


After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called, in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these were lying a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [waiting for the moving of the waters: read more.
for an angel of the Lord went down at a certain period into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever, therefore, first, after the troubling of the water, stepped in, was healed of whatsoever disease he had]. And a certain man was there, who had been for thirty-eight years in his infirmity. Jesus, seeing this man lying, and knowing that already for a long time he had been thus, saith to him, "Do you wish to be made well?" The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no one, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but, while I am coming, another goes down before me!" Jesus saith to him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." And straightway the man became well, and took up his bed, and was walking. And it was the sabbath on that day. The Jews, therefore, said to him who had been cured, "It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed." But he answered them, "He Who made me well, the Same said to me, 'Take up your bed and walk.' They asked him, "Who is the Man That said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk?'" And he who was healed knew not Who it was; for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple. And He said to him, "Behold, you have been made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall you." The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well. And, on this account, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the sabbath.


And again, going forth out of the borders of Tyre, He came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. And they bring to Him one deaf, and speaking with difficulty; and they beseech Him to lay His hand upon him. And, taking him aside from the multitude privately, He put His fingers into his ears; and, spitting, He touched his tongue; read more.
and looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and saith to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking properly. And He charged them that they should tell no one; but the more He charged them, the more a great deal did they publish it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He hath done all things well: He maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."


And, on the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and His disciples, to the marriage. And, wine having fallen short, the mother of Jesus says to Him, "They have no wine." read more.
And He saith to her, "Woman, what is it to Me and to you? My hour has not yet come." His mother says to the servants, "Whatsoever He saith to you, do." Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the Jews' manner of purifying, containing, each, two or three firkins. Jesus saith to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And He saith to them, "Draw out now, and bear to the ruler of the feast." And they bore it. When the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calls the bridegroom, and says to him, "Every man sets on the good wine first; and, when they become drunken, the worse. You have kept the good wine until now!" This beginning of His signs Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.


And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to Him a blind man, and beseech Him to touch him. And, taking hold of the blind man's hand, He brought him out of the village; and, spitting in his eyes, and putting His hands upon him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?" And, looking up, he said, "I behold men, because I see them as trees walking." read more.
Then again He put His hands on his eyes, and he looked steadily, and was restored, and was seeing all things distinctly. And He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not even enter into the village."


And it came to pass, when He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him. And, behold, there was before Him a certain man who had the dropsy. And, answering, Jesus spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful on the sabbath to heal or not?" read more.
But they were silent. And, taking hold of him, He healed him, and let him go; and He said to them, "Who of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a well, and he will not straight-way draw him up on a sabbath day?" And they were not able to return an answer to these things.


Now it came to pass, as the multitude was pressing upon Him, and hearing the word of God, that He was standing by the lake Gennesaret; and He saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen, having gone out of them, were washing their nets. And, entering into one of the boats, which was Simon's, He asked him to put out a little from the land; and, having taken a seat, He was teaching the multitudes out of the boat. read more.
And, when He ceased speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." And Simon, answering, said, "Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing; but at Thy word I will let down the nets." And, doing this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking. And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking. And Simon Peter, seeing it, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, "Depart from me; because I am a sinful man, O Lord;" for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they took; and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not; henceforth you will catch men." And, having brought their boats to the land, leaving all, they followed Him.


And He said to there, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find." They cast it, therefore; and no longer were they able to draw it, for the multitude of the fishes.
