And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave.

Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Now as Jesus was returning [to Galilee], the people welcomed Him, for they had all been expecting Him.

because {he had} an only daughter, about twelve years [old], and she was dying. Now as he was going, the crowds were pressing against him.

And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,

And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'

[While] he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue ruler's [house], saying, "Your daughter is dead! Trouble the Teacher no longer!"

Jesus heard the words and said to him, "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored to life."

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

Now everyone was crying and wailing for her. But Jesus said, "Stop crying! She's not dead. She's sleeping."

And they began laughing at him, [because they] knew that she was dead.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

“Take nothing for the road,” He told them, “no walking stick, no traveling bag, no bread, no money; and don’t take an extra shirt.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

And the apostles returned, and told him what great things they had done. And he took them and went aside into a solitary place, nigh to a city called Bethsaida.

And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

Now the day was ending, and the twelve [disciples] came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging, and get provisions; because here we are in an isolated place.”

But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

Now there were about 5,000 men. So he told his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about 50."

Now it happened that as Jesus was praying privately, the disciples were with Him, and He asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

to tell this to no man, saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Then He said to them all, "If anyone chooses to be my disciple, he must say 'No' to self, put the cross on his shoulders daily, and continue to follow me.

But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

Now about eight days after these teachings, He took along Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.

Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.

Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.

So they all continued to be utterly astounded at the greatness of God. Now while everybody was wondering at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

give attention to what I now say, namely, that the son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.

But they didn't know what this meant. Indeed, the meaning was hidden from them so that they didn't understand it; and they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.

But Jesus, [because he] knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him

Now John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."

And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

Now [when] the disciples James and John saw [it], they said, "Lord, do you want us to call fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

"You know not what kind of spirit you share, for the Son of man came not to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went to another village.

And Jesus told him, “Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come.

And He addressed them thus: "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few: therefore entreat the Owner of the harvest to send out more reapers into His fields. And now go.

Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Now I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city.

"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No! You will be brought down to Hades!

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever pays no attention to you pays no attention to me, and whoever pays no attention to me pays no attention to Him who sent me."

Now the seventy returned and joyously reported, "Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your name."

"I have given you power to tread serpents and scorpions underfoot, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

for I assure you, that many prophets and princes have desired to see what you now behold, but they never saw it; and to hear what you have heard, which they never did.

Now an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Now by coincidence a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was come nigh to the place, went and looked on him, and passed by.

Then a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came nigh unto him: and when he saw him, had compassion on him,

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

now she had a sister, named Mary, who placed herself at the feet of Jesus, to attend to his discourse.

Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.

Now Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

And [at another time] Jesus was casting out a demon, and it was [controlling a man so as to make him] mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds were awed.

Since he knew what they were thinking, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is devastated, and a divided household collapses.

Now, if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

Now if I drive out the demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons [the Jewish exorcists] drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

No sooner does a foul spirit leave a man, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says 'I will go back to the home which I left';

Now while Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed (happy, favored by God) is the womb that gave birth to You and the breasts at which You nursed!”

"Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not.

Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.

And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Have no fear: you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit [that is, whoever intentionally discredits the Holy Spirit by attributing the authenticating miracles done by Me to Satan], it will not be forgiven him [for him there is no forgiveness].

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

take no thought how or what ye shall answer or what ye shall say. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in that hour, what ye ought to say.

Now someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me!"

And to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions."

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
