Chapter 1 (CV)

¹ The beginning of the evangel of Jesus Christ, Son of God,
² according as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, (Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.):
³ "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'" of Him!
⁴ John the baptist came to be in the wilderness and is heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins.
⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
⁶ And John was dressed in camel's hair, and had a leather girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey.
⁷ And he heralds, saying, "Coming, after me, is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to stoop and loose.
⁸ I, indeed, baptize you in water, yet He shall be baptizing you in holy spirit."
⁹ And it occurred in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and is baptized in the Jordan by John.
¹⁰ And straightway, stepping up out of the water, He perceived the heavens rent, and the spirit, as a dove, descending and remaining on Him.
¹¹ And a voice came out of the heavens, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."
¹² And straightway the spirit is ejecting Him into the wilderness.
¹³ And He was in the wilderness forty days, undergoing trial by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And messengers waited on Him.
¹⁴ Now, after the giving up of John, Jesus came into Galilee, heralding the evangel of the kingdom of God,
¹⁵ saying that "Fulfilled is the era, and near is the kingdom of God! Repent, and believe in the evangel!"
¹⁶ And passing by, beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, purse netting with a purse net in the sea, for they were fishers.
¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will make you become fishers of men!"
¹⁸ And immediately, leaving their nets, they follow Him.
¹⁹ And advancing slightly, He perceived James of Zebedee and John, his brother, who also are in the ship, adjusting the nets.
²⁰ And straightway He calls them. And, leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings, they came away after Him.
²¹ And they are entering Capernaum. And immediately, on the sabbaths, entering the synagogue, He taught.
²² And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.
²³ And straightway there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cries out, saying,
²⁴ "Ha! what is it to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarean! Did you come to destroy us? We are aware of you, who you are -- the holy One of God!"
²⁵ And Jesus rebukes him, saying, "Be still, and be coming out of him!"
²⁶ And, convulsing him, the unclean spirit, shouting with a loud voice, came out of him.
²⁷ And all were awed, so as to be discussing with themselves, saying, "What is this? Some new teaching is this, for with authority the unclean spirits also is He enjoining, and they are obeying Him!"
²⁸ And straightway, the tidings of Him came out everywhere into the whole country about Galilee.
²⁹ And straightway, coming out of the synagogue, they came into the home of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
³⁰ Now the mother-in-law of Simon was laid down with a fever. And straightway they are telling Him about her.
³¹ And approaching, He rouses her, holding her hand. And the fever leaves her immediately, and she waited on them.
³² Now evening coming on, when the sun sets, they brought to Him all those who have an illness and those who are demoniacs.
³³ And the whole city was assembled at the door.
³⁴ And He cures many who have an illness, those with various diseases; and many demons He cast out. And He did not let the demons speak, for they were aware that He is the Christ.
³⁵ And in the morning, rising very early, still in the night, He came out and came away into a desolate place, and there He prayed.
³⁶ And Simon and those with him trail Him.
³⁷ And they found Him, and are saying to Him that "All are seeking Thee."
³⁸ And He is saying to them, "We may be going elsewhere, into the next towns, that there also I should be heralding; for for this I came out."
³⁹ And He came into their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, heralding and casting out demons.
⁴⁰ And coming to Him is a leper, entreating Him, and falling on his knees and saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou shouldst be willing, Thou canst cleanse me!"
⁴¹ Now Jesus, having compassion, stretching out His hand, touches him, and is saying to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed!"
⁴² And at His saying this, straightway the leprosy came from him, and he is cleansed.
⁴³ And muttering to him, straightway He cast him out,
⁴⁴ and is saying to him, "See! you may be saying nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and bring for your cleansing what Moses bids, for a testimony to them."
⁴⁵ Now he, coming out, begins heralding it much, and to blaze abroad the word, so that, by no means can He longer be manifestly entering into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from everywhere.

Chapter 1 (KJV)

¹ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
² As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
⁴ John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
⁵ And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
⁶ And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
⁷ And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
⁸ I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
⁹ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
¹⁰ And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
¹¹ And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
¹² And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
¹³ And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
¹⁴ Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
¹⁵ And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
¹⁶ Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
¹⁷ And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
¹⁸ And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
¹⁹ And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
²⁰ And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
²¹ And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
²² And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
²⁴ Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
²⁶ And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
²⁷ And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
²⁸ And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
²⁹ And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
³⁰ But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
³² And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
³³ And all the city was gathered together at the door.
³⁴ And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
³⁵ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
³⁶ And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
³⁷ And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
³⁸ And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
³⁹ And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
⁴⁰ And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
⁴¹ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
⁴² And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
⁴³ And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
⁴⁴ And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
⁴⁵ But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

Chapter 2 (CV)

¹ And, entering again into Capernaum during these days, it is heard that He is in a house.
² And immediately many were gathered, so that by no means was there still room, not even at the door. And He spoke to them the word.
³ And they are coming, bringing to Him a paralytic being lifted by four.
⁴ And, not being able to carry him to Him because of the throng, they unroof the roof where He was, and, scooping it out, they are lowering the pallet whereon the paralytic was laid.
⁵ And Jesus, perceiving their faith, is saying to the paralytic, "Child, pardoned you are your sins."
⁶ Now there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
⁷ "What is this man, speaking thus? Blaspheming is he! Who is able to pardon sins except One -- God?"
⁸ And straightway Jesus, recognizing in His spirit that they are reasoning thus in themselves, is saying to them, "Why are you reasoning these things in your hearts?
⁹ What is easier, to be saying to the paralytic, 'Pardoned are your sins,' or to be saying, 'Rouse and pick up your pallet and walk'?
¹⁰ "Now, that you may be perceiving that the Son of Mankind has authority on earth to pardon sins" (He is saying to the paralytic),
¹¹ "To you am I saying, Rouse, and pick up your pallet and go into your house."
¹² And he was roused, and, straightway, picking up the pallet, he came out in front of all, so that all are amazed and are glorifying God, saying that, "Thus we never perceived it!"
¹³ And He came out again beside the sea. And the entire throng came to Him, and He taught them.
¹⁴ And, passing along, He perceived Levi of Alpheus, sitting at the tribute office. And He is saying to him, "Follow Me!"
¹⁵ And, rising, he follows Him. And, at His coming to lie down in his house, many tribute collectors also, and sinners lay back at table with Jesus and His disciples, for there were many, and they followed Him.
¹⁶ And the scribes of the Pharisees, perceiving Him also that He ate with the tribute collectors and the sinners, said to His disciples, "Wherefore is it that your teacher is eating and drinking with the tribute collectors and the sinners?"
¹⁷ And, hearing it, Jesus is saying to them that "No need have the strong of a physician, but those having an illness. I did not come to call the just, but sinners."
¹⁸ And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting, and they are coming and saying to Him, "Wherefore are the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting, yet your disciples are not fasting?"
¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, "The sons of the bridal chamber can not be fasting while the bridegroom is with them! Whatever time they have the bridegroom with them, they can not be fasting.
²⁰ Yet coming will be days, whenever the bridegroom may be taken away from them, and then they will be fasting in that day.
²¹ "No one is sewing a patch of unshrunk shred on an old cloak. Yet, if so, is not that which fills up taking away from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is occurring?
²² And no one is draining fresh wine into old wine skins. Yet, if so, will not the fresh wine be bursting the wine skins? And the wine is spilling, and the wine skins will perish. But fresh wine is put into new wine skins."
²³ And He came, on the sabbaths, to be going by through the sowings. And His disciples begin making a path, plucking the ears.
²⁴ And the Pharisees said to Him, "Lo! What they are doing on the sabbaths is what is not allowed."
²⁵ And He said to them, "Did you never read what David does, when he had need and hungers, he and those with him?
²⁶ How he entered into the house of God under Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the show bread, which is not allowed to be eaten except by the priests, and he gives also to those who are with him?"
²⁷ And He said to them, "The sabbath came because of mankind, and not mankind because of the sabbath,
²⁸ so that the Son of Mankind is Lord, also, of the sabbath."

Chapter 2 (KJV)

¹ And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
² And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
³ And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
⁴ And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
⁶ But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
⁷ Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
⁸ And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
⁹ Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
¹⁰ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
¹¹ I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
¹² And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
¹³ And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
¹⁴ And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
¹⁵ And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
¹⁶ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
¹⁷ When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
¹⁸ And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
¹⁹ And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
²⁰ But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
²¹ No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
²² And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
²³ And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
²⁴ And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
²⁵ And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
²⁶ How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
²⁷ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
²⁸ Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Chapter 3 (CV)

¹ And He entered again into the synagogue. And a man was there, having a withered hand.
² And they scrutinized Him to see if on the sabbaths He will be curing him, that they should be accusing Him.
³ And He is saying to the man having the withered hand, "Rise in the midst."
⁴ And He is saying to them, "Is it allowed on the sabbaths to do good or to do evil, a soul to save or to kill?" Yet they were silent.
⁵ And looking about on them with indignation, commiserating the callousness of their hearts, He is saying to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretches it out, and his hand was restored.
⁶ And, coming out, the Pharisees straightway held a consultation with the Herodians against Him, so that they should be destroying Him.
⁷ And Jesus, with His disciples, retires to the sea. And a vast multitude from Galilee follows Him.
⁸ And from Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and the other side of the Jordan, and those about Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, hearing how much He did, came to Him.
⁹ And He spoke to His disciples that a boat may be waiting on Him because of the throng, lest they may be crowding Him,
¹⁰ for He cures many, so that they are falling on Him, that whoever had scourges should be touching Him.
¹¹ And the unclean spirits, whenever they beheld Him, prostrated to Him and cried, saying that
¹² "You are the Son of God!" And much He warned them, lest they should be making Him manifest.
¹³ And He is ascending into the mountain and is calling to Him whom He would, and they came away to Him.
¹⁴ And He makes twelve, whom He also names apostles, that they may be with Him, and that He may be commissioning them to herald,
¹⁵ and to have authority to cure diseases, and to cast out demons.
¹⁶ And He makes the twelve, and He places on Simon the name "Peter,"
¹⁷ and on James of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, on them also He places the name "Boanerges," which is, "Sons of Thunder";
¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James of Alpheus and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananite
¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also gives Him up. And they are coming into a house,
²⁰ and the throng is coming together again, so that they are not even able to eat bread.
²¹ And hearing it, those with Him came out to hold it, for they said that it was beside itself.
²² And the scribes who descend from Jerusalem said that "Beelzeboul has he," and that "By the chief of the demons is he casting out the demons."
²³ And, calling them to Him, in parables He said to them, "How can Satan be casting out Satan?
²⁴ And if ever a kingdom should be parted against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
²⁵ And if ever a house should be parted against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
²⁶ And if Satan rose against himself and is parted, he is not able to stand, but is having a consummation.
²⁷ But no one is able to enter into the house of the strong one to plunder his gear, if ever he should not first be binding the strong one. And then he will be plundering his house.
²⁸ "Verily, I am saying to you that all shall be pardoned the sons of mankind, the penalties of the sins and the blasphemies, whatsoever they should be blaspheming,
²⁹ yet whoever should be blaspheming against the holy spirit is having no pardon for the eon, but is liable to the eonian penalty for the sin" --
³⁰ for they said, "An unclean spirit has he."
³¹ And coming are His mother and His brothers, and, standing outside, they dispatch to Him, calling Him.
³² And there sat about Him a throng. And they are saying to Him, "Lo! Thy mother and Thy brothers and Thy sisters are outside seeking Thee."
³³ And answering them, He is saying, "Who is My mother and My brothers?"
³⁴ And looking about on those sitting around Him, He is saying, "Lo! My mother and My brothers!
³⁵ For whoever should be doing the will of God, this one is My brother and sister and mother."

Chapter 3 (KJV)

¹ And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
² And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
³ And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
⁴ And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
⁵ And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
⁶ And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
⁷ But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
⁸ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
⁹ And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
¹⁰ For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
¹¹ And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
¹² And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
¹³ And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
¹⁴ And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
¹⁵ And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
¹⁶ And Simon he surnamed Peter;
¹⁷ And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
¹⁹ And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
²⁰ And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
²¹ And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
²² And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
²³ And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
²⁴ And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
²⁵ And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
²⁶ And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
²⁷ No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
²⁸ Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
²⁹ But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
³⁰ Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
³¹ There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
³² And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
³³ And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
³⁴ And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
³⁵ For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Chapter 4 (CV)

¹ And again He begins to teach beside the sea. And gathering to Him is a throng most numerous, so that, to be sitting, He steps into the ship, in the sea. And the entire throng was facing toward the sea on the land.
² And He taught them many things in parables, and said to them in His teaching,
³ "Hear! Lo! Out came the sower to sow.
⁴ And it occurred in the sowing, some, indeed, falls beside the road, and the flying creatures came and devoured it.
⁵ And other falls on a rocky place where it had not much earth, and straightway it shoots up because of having no depth of earth.
⁶ And when the sun rises it is scorched, and, because of having no root, it is withered.
⁷ And other falls into thorns, and up came the thorns and stifle it, and it gives no fruit.
⁸ And other falls into ideal earth, and it gave fruit, coming up and growing up, and brought forth, one thirty and one sixty and one a hundredfold." 09 And He said, "Who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
¹⁰ And when He came to be in seclusion, those about Him, together with the twelve, asked Him about the parables.
¹¹ And He said to them, "To you the secret of the kingdom of God has been given, yet to those outside, all is occurring in parables,
¹² that, observing, they may be observing and may not be perceiving, and hearing, they may be hearing and not be understanding, lest at some time they should be turning about, and they may be pardoned the penalties of their sins."
¹³ And He is saying to them, "Have you not perceived this parable? And how will you know all parables?
¹⁴ The sower the word is sowing.
¹⁵ Now these are those beside the road, where the word is being sown. And whenever they should be hearing, straightway comes Satan and is taking away the word that has been sown in them.
¹⁶ "And these, likewise, are those being sown on rocky places, who, whenever they should be hearing the word, straightway with joy they are getting it.
¹⁷ And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Thereafter, at the coming of affliction or persecution because of the word, straightway they are being snared.
¹⁸ "And others are those being sown into the thorns. These are those who hear the word,
¹⁹ and the worries of this eon, and the seduction of riches and the desires about the rest, going in, are stifling the word, and it is becoming unfruitful.
²⁰ "And those are those being sown on ideal earth who are hearing the word, and are assenting to it, and are bearing fruit, one thirty and one sixty and one a hundredfold."
²¹ And He said to them that "The lamp is not coming that it may be placed under a peck measure or under a couch. Is it not that it may be placed on a lampstand?
²² For there is not anything hidden, except that it should be manifested, neither did it become concealed, but that it may be coming into manifestation.
²³ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"
²⁴ And He said to them, "Beware what you are hearing! With what measure you are measuring, it will be measured to you, and it will be added to you.
²⁵ For he who has, it shall be given to him; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him."
²⁶ And He said, "Thus is the kingdom of God: As if ever a man should be casting seed on the earth,
²⁷ and he may be drowsing and rousing night and day, and the seed may be germinating and lengthening, as he is not aware.
²⁸ Spontaneously the earth is bearing fruit, first the blade, thereafter the ear, thereafter the full grain in the ear.
²⁹ Now whenever the fruit may be giving way, straightway he is dispatching the sickle, for present is the harvest."
³⁰ And He said, "How should we be likening the kingdom of God? Or by what parable may we be placing it?
³¹ As a kernel of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is smaller than all the seeds of those on the earth,
³² and whenever it may be sown, is coming up and becoming greater than all the greens and is making great boughs, so that, under its shade, the flying creatures of heaven are able to roost."
³³ And in many such parables He spoke to them the word, according as they were able to be hearing it.
³⁴ Yet apart from a parable He did not speak to them. Yet privately, to His own disciples, He explained all.
³⁵ And He is saying to them on that day, as evening is coming on, "We may be passing through to the other side."
³⁶ And, leaving the throng, they are taking Him along, as He was, in the ship. And other ships were with Him.
³⁷ And there is occurring a great whirlwind, and the billows dashed into the ship, so that the ship was already filling to the brim.
³⁸ And He was in the stern, drowsing on the cushion. And they are rousing Him and saying to Him, "Teacher! Carest Thou not that we perish?"
³⁹ And, being roused, He rebukes the wind and said to the sea, "Be silent! Be still!" And the wind flags, and there came a great calm.
⁴⁰ And He said to them, "Why are you so timid? How is it you have no faith?"
⁴¹ And they were afraid with a great fear, and said to one another, "Who, consequently, is This, that even the wind and the sea are obeying Him?"

Chapter 4 (KJV)

¹ And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
² And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
³ Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
⁴ And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
⁵ And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
⁶ But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
⁸ And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
⁹ And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
¹¹ And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
¹² That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
¹³ And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵ And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶ And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷ And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
¹⁸ And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰ And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
²¹ And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
²² For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
²³ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
²⁵ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
²⁶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
²⁷ And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
²⁸ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
²⁹ But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
³¹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
³² But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
³³ And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
³⁴ But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
³⁵ And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
³⁶ And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Chapter 5 (CV)

¹ And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gergesenes.
² And at His coming out of the ship, straightway there meets Him a man out of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,
³ who had a dwelling among the tombs. And not even with chains was anyone able any longer to bind him,
⁴ because of his having often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were pulled to pieces by him and the fetters crushed. And no one was strong enough to tame him.
⁵ And continually, night and day, among the tombs and in the mountains was he, crying and gashing himself with stones.
⁶ And perceiving Jesus from afar, he ran and worships Him,
⁷ and, crying with a loud voice, he is saying, "What is it to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High! I am adjuring Thee by God: Not me shouldst Thou be tormenting!"
⁸ For He said to it, "Come out, unclean spirit, out of the man!"
⁹ And He inquired of it, "What is your name?" And it is saying to Him, "Legion is my name, for many are we."
¹⁰ And it entreated Him much that He should not be dispatching it out of the country.
¹¹ Now there, toward the mountain, was a great herd of hogs, grazing.
¹² And all the demons entreat Him, saying, "Send us into the hogs, that we may be entering into them."
¹³ And Jesus immediately permits them. And, coming out, the unclean spirits entered into the hogs, and the herd rushes down the precipice into the sea. Now they were about two thousand, and they were choked in the sea.
¹⁴ And those grazing them fled, and they report it in the city and in the fields. And they came to see what it is that has occurred.
¹⁵ And they are coming to Jesus and beholding the demoniac who had the legion, sitting and garmented and sane, and they were afraid.
¹⁶ And those who perceived it relate to them how it came to be with the demoniac, and concerning the hogs.
¹⁷ And they begin to be entreating Him to come away from their boundaries.
¹⁸ And at His stepping into the ship, the demoniac entreated Him that he may be with Him.
¹⁹ And He does not let him, but He is saying to him, "Go into your home, to those who are yours, and report to them whatever the Lord has done for you and how He is merciful to you."
²⁰ And he came away, and begins to herald in the Decapolis whatever Jesus does for him. And all marveled.
²¹ And at Jesus' ferrying again in the ship to the other side a vast throng was gathered to Him, and He was beside the sea.
²² And lo! coming is one of the chiefs of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and, perceiving Him, he is falling at His feet.
²³ And he is entreating Him much, saying that "My little daughter is having her last gasp!" that, "Coming, Thou mayest be placing Thy hands on her, that she may be saved and should be living!"
²⁴ And He came away with him, and a vast throng followed Him, and they crowded Him.
²⁵ And a woman having a hemorrhage twelve years,
²⁶ and suffering much under many physicians, and spending her all and being nothing benefitted, but rather coming to be worse,
²⁷ hearing about Jesus, coming in the throng from behind, touches His cloak.
²⁸ For she said that "If ever I should be touching Him, even if it should be His garments, I shall be saved."
²⁹ And straightway dried is the spring of her blood, and she knew in her body that she has been healed of the scourge.
³⁰ And straightway Jesus, recognizing in Himself the power coming out of Him, being turned about in the throng, said, "Who touches My garments?"
³¹ And His disciples said to Him, "Thou art observing the throng crowding Thee, and art Thou saying, 'Who touches Me?'"
³² And He looked about to see who does this.
³³ Now the woman, being afraid and trembling, being aware of what has occurred to her, came and prostrates to Him, and told Him the entire truth.
³⁴ Now He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be sound from your scourge."
³⁵ While He is still speaking, they are coming from the chief of the synagogue, saying that "Your daughter died. Why are you still bothering the Teacher?"
³⁶ Yet Jesus immediately, disregarding the word spoken, is saying to the chief of the synagogue, "Do not fear! Only believe!"
³⁷ And He does not let anyone follow together with Him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.
³⁸ And they are coming into the house of the chief of the synagogue, and He is beholding a tumult, and they are lamenting much and screaming.
³⁹ And entering, He is saying to them, "Why are you making a tumult and lamenting? The little girl did not die, but is drowsing."
⁴⁰ And they ridiculed Him. Yet He, ejecting them all, is taking along the father of the little girl and the mother and those with Him, and He is going in where the little girl was lying.
⁴¹ And, holding the hand of the little girl, He is saying to her, "Talitha, coumi!" (which is, being construed, "Maiden, I am saying to you, rouse!").
⁴² And straightway the maiden rose and walked about, for she was about twelve years old. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with great amazement.
⁴³ And He cautions them much that no one may be knowing of this. And He told them to give her something to eat.

Chapter 5 (KJV)

¹ And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
² And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
³ Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
⁴ Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
⁵ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
⁷ And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
⁸ For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
⁹ And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
¹⁰ And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
¹¹ Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
¹² And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
¹³ And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
¹⁴ And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
¹⁵ And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
¹⁶ And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
¹⁷ And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
¹⁸ And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
¹⁹ Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
²⁰ And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
²¹ And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
²² And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
²³ And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
²⁴ And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
²⁵ And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
²⁶ And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
²⁷ When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
²⁸ For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
³¹ And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
³² And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
³³ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
³⁵ While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
³⁶ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
³⁷ And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
³⁸ And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
³⁹ And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
⁴⁰ And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
⁴¹ And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
⁴² And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
⁴³ And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Chapter 6 (CV)

¹ And He came out thence and is coming into His own country, and His disciples are following Him.
² And at the coming of a sabbath He begins to teach in the synagogue. And the majority, hearing, were astonished, saying, "Whence has this man all these things? And what wisdom is being given this man! And such powerful deeds are occurring by means of his hands!
³ Is not this the artisan, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were snared in Him.
⁴ And Jesus said to them that "A prophet is not dishonored, except in his own country and among his relatives and in his home."
⁵ And He could not do any powerful deed there except, placing hands on a few who are ailing, He cures them.
⁶ And He marvels because of their unbelief. And Jesus went about the villages around, teaching.
⁷ And He is calling to Him the twelve, and He begins to dispatch them two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
⁸ And He charges them that they should be picking up nothing for the road except a staff only; no bread, no beggar's bag, no coppers in the girdle;
⁹ but having soles bound on, and not to put on two tunics.
¹⁰ And He said to them, "Wheresoever you may be entering into a house, there remain till you should be coming out thence.
¹¹ And whatever place should not be receiving you, nor yet they should be hearing you, going out thence, shake off the soil which is underneath your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily, I am saying to you, More tolerable will it be for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judging than for that city."
¹² And, coming out, they herald that they should be repenting.
¹³ And many demons they cast out, and they rubbed many of the ailing with oil, and cured them.
¹⁴ And Herod, the king, hears, for His name became manifest. And he said that "John the baptist has been roused from among the dead, and therefore the powerful deeds are operating in him."
¹⁵ Yet others said that "He is Elijah." Yet others said that "A prophet is he, as one of the prophets."
¹⁶ Yet, hearing of it, Herod said that "John, whom I behead, he was roused from among the dead."
¹⁷ For he, Herod, dispatches and holds John and binds him in jail, because of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother, seeing that he marries her.
¹⁸ For John said to Herod that "It is not allowed you to have the wife of your brother."
¹⁹ Now Herodias hemmed him in, and wanted to kill him, and could not,
²⁰ for Herod feared John, being aware that he is a just and holy man, and he preserved him. And hearing him, he was much perplexed, and heard him with relish.
²¹ And, an opportune day coming when Herod at his birthday celebrations makes a dinner for his magnates and captains and for the foremost men of Galilee,
²² and at her, Herodias' daughter's, entering and dancing, she pleases Herod and those lying back at table with him. Now the king said to the maiden, "Request of me whatsoever you may be wanting, and I will give it to you."
²³ And he swears to her that "Whatsoever you should be requesting me, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom."
²⁴ And, coming out, she said to her mother, "What should I be requesting?" Now she said, "The head of John the baptist."
²⁵ And entering straightway with diligence to the king, she requests, saying, "I want that you forthwith may be giving me on a platter the head of John the baptist."
²⁶ And the king, becoming sorrow-stricken, because of the oaths and those lying back at table with him, does not want to repudiate her.
²⁷ And straightway the king, dispatching, enjoins a lifeguardsman to bring his head. And, coming away, he beheads him in the jail,
²⁸ and carries his head on a platter, and gives it to the maiden, and the maiden gives it to her mother.
²⁹ And hearing of it, his disciples came and take away his corpse, and they place it in a tomb.
³⁰ And gathering are the apostles to Jesus, and they report to Him all, whatever they do, and whatever they teach.
³¹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! You yourselves come privately into a place in the wilderness and rest briefly." For those coming and those going away were many, and they had not yet an opportunity to eat.
³² And they came away in the ship into a place in the wilderness, privately.
³³ And many perceived them going away and recognize them. And, afoot from all the cities, they ran together there, and they came before them and ran together to Him.
³⁴ And, coming out, Jesus perceived a vast throng, and He has compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He begins to teach them much.
³⁵ And already the hour coming to be much advanced, His disciples, coming to Him, said that "This place is a wilderness, and already the hour is much advanced. 36 Dismiss them that, coming away into the fields and villages around, they should buy themselves bread. For they have nothing that they may be eating."
³⁷ Yet He, answering, said to them, "You give them to eat." And they are saying to Him, "Coming away, should we buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?"
³⁸ Now He is saying to them, "How many cakes of bread have you? Go and see." And knowing, they are saying to Him, "Five, and two fishes."
³⁹ And He enjoins them to make them all recline, company by company, on the green grass.
⁴⁰ And they lean back, plot by plot, by hundreds and by fifties.
⁴¹ And taking the five cakes of bread and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, He blesses and breaks up the cakes of bread, and gave to His disciples, that they may be placing them before them. And the two fishes He parts to all.
⁴² And they all ate and are satisfied.
⁴³ And they pick up twelve pannierfuls of fragments, and from the fishes.
⁴⁴ And those eating the cakes of bread were five thousand men.
⁴⁵ And straightway He compels His disciples to step into the ship and precede Him to the other side to Bethsaida, till He is dismissing the throng.
⁴⁶ And, taking leave of them, He came away into the mountain to pray.
⁴⁷ And evening coming on, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.
⁴⁸ And perceiving them tormented in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night He is coming toward them, walking on the sea. And He wanted to pass them by.
⁴⁹ Yet those who are perceiving Him walking on the sea suppose that He is a phantom, and they cry out,
⁵⁰ for they all perceive Him and were disturbed. Yet straightway He speaks with them and is saying to them, "Courage! It is I! Do not fear."
⁵¹ And He stepped up to them, into the ship, and the wind flags. And they are amazed to the very excess, among themselves, and marveled.
⁵² For they do not understand as to the bread, but their heart was calloused.
⁵³ And, ferrying to land, they came to Gennesaret and are moored.
⁵⁴ And, at their coming out of the ship, straightway recognizing Him,
⁵⁵ the men of that place ran about that whole country and begin to be carrying about those having an illness on pallets to where they heard that He is.
⁵⁶ And wheresoever He went into villages or into cities or into fields, in the markets they place the infirm. And they entreated Him that they should be touching Him even if it should be the tassel of His cloak. And whosoever touch it were saved.

Chapter 6 (KJV)

¹ And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
² And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
⁴ But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
⁵ And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
⁶ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
⁷ And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
⁸ And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
⁹ But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
¹⁰ And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
¹² And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
¹³ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
¹⁶ But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
¹⁸ For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
²² And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
²³ And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
²⁴ And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
²⁵ And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
²⁶ And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
²⁷ And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
²⁸ And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
²⁹ And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
³⁰ And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
³¹ And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
³² And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
³³ And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
³⁴ And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
³⁵ And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
³⁶ Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
³⁷ He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
³⁸ He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
³⁹ And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
⁴⁰ And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
⁴¹ And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
⁴² And they did all eat, and were filled.
⁴³ And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
⁴⁴ And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
⁴⁵ And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
⁴⁶ And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
⁴⁷ And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
⁴⁸ And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
⁴⁹ But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
⁵¹ And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
⁵² For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
⁵³ And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
⁵⁴ And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
⁵⁵ And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
⁵⁶ And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Chapter 7 (CV)

¹ And gathering to Him are the Pharisees and some of the scribes coming from Jerusalem.
² And perceiving some of His disciples, that with contaminated (that is, unwashed) hands they eat bread
³ (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, if ever they should not be washing the hands with the fist, are not eating, holding the tradition of the elders;
⁴ and from the market, except they should be sprinkled, they are not eating; and many other things are there which they accepted to hold, the baptizing of cups and ewers and copper vessels and of couches),
⁵ the Pharisees also, and the scribes are inquiring of Him, "Wherefore are not your disciples walking according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands are eating bread?"
⁶ Yet He, answering, said to them that "Ideally prophesies Isaiah concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, that This people with their lips is honoring Me, Yet their heart is away at a distance from Me.
⁷ Yet in vain are they revering Me, teaching for teachings the directions of men.
⁸ For, leaving the precept of God, you are holding the tradition of men of the baptism of ewers and cups. And many such like things you are doing."
⁹ And He said to them, "Ideally are you repudiating the precept of God, that you should be keeping your tradition.
¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, He who is saying aught that is evil of father or mother, let him decease in death.
¹¹ Yet you are saying, 'If a man should be saying to father or mother, "A corban (which is an approach present) is whatsoever you may be benefitted by me,"'
¹² no longer are you letting him do anything for his father or his mother,
¹³ invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you give over. And many such like things you are doing."
¹⁴ And calling the throng to Him again, He said to them, "Hear Me, all, and understand.
¹⁵ Nothing is there outside of a man, going into him, which can contaminate him, but those things going out of a man are what is contaminating the man.
¹⁶ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"
¹⁷ And when He entered into the house from the throng, His disciples inquired of Him concerning the parable.
¹⁸ And He is saying to them, "Are you, also, thus unintelligent? Not yet are you apprehending that everything from the outside, that is going into a man, can not contaminate him,
¹⁹ for it is not going into his heart, but into the bowels, and is going out into the latrine -- cleansing all foods?"
²⁰ Yet He said that "That which is going out of a man, that is contaminating the man.
²¹ For from inside, out of the heart of men, are going out evil reasonings, prostitutions, thefts, murders,
²² adulteries, greed, wickedness, guile, wantonness, a wicked eye, calumny, pride, imprudence.
²³ All these wicked inside things are going out; and those are contaminating the man."
²⁴ Now, rising thence, He came away into the frontiers of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, He wants no one to know, and He can not elude them,
²⁵ but straightway, a woman, hearing about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, entering, prostates at His feet.
²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek, a native of Syro-Phoenicia, and she asked Him that He should be casting the demon out of her daughter.
²⁷ Yet Jesus said to her, "Let first the children be satisfied, for it is not ideal to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies."
²⁸ Yet she answered and is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord. For the puppies also, underneath the table, are eating the scraps from the little children."
²⁹ And He said to her, "Because of this saying, go. The demon has come out of your daughter."
³⁰ And coming away into her own house, she found the little girl prostrate on the couch, and the demon come out.
³¹ And, again, coming out of the boundaries of Tyre, He came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, amidst the boundaries of the Decapolis.
³² And they are bringing to Him a deaf stammerer, and they are entreating Him that He may place His hand on him.
³³ And, getting him away from the throng privately, He thrusts His fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touches his tongue.
³⁴ And, looking up into heaven, He groans, and is saying to him, "Ephphatha," which is, "Be opened up."
³⁵ And immediately, opened up was his hearing, and straightway was loosed the bond of his tongue, and he spoke correctly.
³⁶ And He cautions them that they may be telling no one, yet, as much as He cautioned them, they rather heralded it more exceedingly.
³⁷ And they were superexceedingly astonished, saying, "Ideally has He done all! The deaf He is making to be hearing, as well as the dumb to be speaking."

Chapter 7 (KJV)

¹ Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
² And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
³ For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
⁴ And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
⁵ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
⁶ He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
⁷ Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
⁸ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
⁹ And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
¹¹ But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
¹² And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
¹³ Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
¹⁴ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
¹⁵ There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
¹⁶ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁷ And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
¹⁸ And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
¹⁹ Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
²⁰ And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
²⁴ And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
²⁵ For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
²⁷ But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
²⁸ And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
²⁹ And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
³⁰ And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
³¹ And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
³² And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
³³ And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
³⁴ And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
³⁵ And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
³⁶ And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
³⁷ And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

Chapter 8 (CV)

¹ In those days, there being again a vast throng, and not having anything they may be eating, calling His disciples to Him, He is saying to them,
² "I have compassion on the throng, for already for three days they are remaining with Me, and they have nothing that they may be eating.
³ And, should I ever be dismissing them, fasting, to their homes, they will be fainting on the road, and some of them have arrived from afar."
⁴ And His disciples answered Him that "Whence can anyone satisfy these with bread here in a wilderness?"
⁵ And He inquired of them, "How many cakes of bread have you?" Now they say, "Seven."
⁶ And He is charging the throng to be leaning back on the earth. And taking the seven cakes of bread, giving thanks, He breaks and gave to His disciples, that they may place them before them. And they place them before the throng.
⁷ And they had a few small fishes. And, blessing them, He said to place these also before them.
⁸ And they all ate and are satisfied. And they pick up of the surplus fragments, seven hampers.
⁹ Now those eating were about four thousand. And He dismisses them.
¹⁰ And straightway He, stepping into the ship with His disciples, came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
¹¹ And out came the Pharisees, and they begin discussing with Him, seeking to see from Him a sign from heaven, trying Him.
¹² And sighing in His spirit, He is saying, "Why is this generation seeking for a sign? Verily I am saying to you, If there shall be given to this generation a sign -- !"
¹³ And leaving them, again stepping into a ship, He came away to the other side.
¹⁴ And they forgot to get bread, and, except for one cake of bread, they had none with them in the ship.
¹⁵ And He cautioned them, saying, "See! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
¹⁶ And they reasoned with one another, saying that "Bread we have none!"
¹⁷ And, knowing it, Jesus is saying to them, "Why are you reasoning that you have no bread? Not as yet are you apprehending, neither understanding? Still calloused is your heart?
¹⁸ Having eyes, are you not observing? And, having ears, are you not hearing? And are you not remembering?
¹⁹ When I break the five cakes of bread for the five thousand, how many panniers full of fragments do you pick up?" They are saying to Him, "Twelve."
²⁰ "And when I break the seven cakes of bread for the four thousand, how many hampers filled with fragments do you pick up?" And they are saying to Him, "Seven."
²¹ And He said to them, "How is it you are not as yet understanding?"
²² And they are coming into Bethsaida, and are bringing to Him a blind man and entreating Him that He should be touching him.
²³ And getting hold of the hand of the blind man, He brings him forth out of the village, and, spitting into his eyes, placing hands on him, He inquired of him, "Are you observing anything?"
²⁴ And looking up, he said, "I am observing men; as trees am I seeing them walking."
²⁵ Thereafter again He places hands on his eyes, and he is keen-sighted, and was restored, and he looked at all distinctly.
²⁶ And He dispatches him into his home, saying, "Neither the village may you be entering, nor yet may you be speaking to anyone in the village."
²⁷ And Jesus and His disciples came out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way He inquired of His disciples, saying to them, "Who are men saying that I am?"
²⁸ Now they say to Him, "'John the baptist,' and others 'Elijah,' yet others that He is 'one of the prophets.'"
²⁹ And He inquired of them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am?" And answering, Peter is saying to Him, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God."
³⁰ And He warns them, that they may be telling no one about Him.
³¹ And He begins to teach them that the Son of Mankind must be suffering much and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise.
³² And with boldness spoke He the word. And, taking Him to him, Peter begins to rebuke Him.
³³ Now Jesus, being turned about and perceiving His disciples, rebukes Peter and is saying, "Go behind Me, satan! for you are not disposed to that which is of God but that which is of men."
³⁴ And, calling the throng to Him, together with His disciples, He said to them, "If anyone is wanting to come after Me, let him renounce himself and pick up his cross and follow Me.
³⁵ For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul will be destroying it, yet whoever shall be destroying his soul on account of Me and of the evangel will be saving it.
³⁶ For what is it benefiting a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
³⁷ For what may a man give in exchange for his soul?
³⁸ For whosoever may be ashamed of Me and My words in this generation, an adulteress and sinner, the Son of Mankind also will be ashamed of him whenever He may be coming in the glory of His Father, with the holy messengers."

Chapter 8 (KJV)

¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
² I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
³ And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
⁴ And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
⁶ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
⁷ And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
⁸ So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
⁹ And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
¹⁰ And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
¹¹ And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
¹² And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
¹³ And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
¹⁴ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
¹⁶ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
¹⁷ And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
¹⁸ Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
¹⁹ When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
²⁰ And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
²¹ And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
²² And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
²⁵ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
²⁷ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
²⁸ And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
²⁹ And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
³² And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
³³ But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
³⁴ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
³⁵ For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Chapter 9 (CV)

¹ And He said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the kingdom of God having come in power."
² And after six days, Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John and is bringing them up into a very high mountain, privately, alone. And He was transformed in front of them.
³ And His garments became glistening, very white, as snow, such as no fuller on earth is able thus to whiten.
⁴ And Elijah, together with Moses, was seen by them, and they were conferring with Jesus.
⁵ And answering, Peter is saying to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is ideal for us to be here! And we should be making three tabernacles: for Thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one."
⁶ For he was not aware what he may answer, for they became terrified.
⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!"
⁸ And suddenly, looking about, they no longer perceived anyone, except Jesus only, with themselves.
⁹ And at their descending from the mountain, He cautions them that they should be relating to no one what they perceived, except whenever the Son of Mankind may be rising from among the dead.
¹⁰ And they hold the word, discussing with themselves what is the rising from among the dead.
¹¹ And they inquired of Him, saying that "The Pharisees and the scribes are saying that Elijah must come first."
¹² Now He averred to them, "Elijah, indeed, coming first, is restoring all. And how is it written of the Son of Mankind that much may He be suffering and may be scorned?
¹³ But I am saying to you that even Elijah has come, and they do to him whatever they would, according as it is written of him."
¹⁴ And coming to the disciples, they perceived a vast throng about them, and scribes discussing with them. 15 And straightway the entire throng, perceiving Him, were overawed, and, racing toward Him, saluted Him.
¹⁶ And He inquires of the scribes, "What are you discussing with yourselves?"
¹⁷ And one out of the throng answered Him, "Teacher, I bring my son to Thee, having a dumb spirit.
¹⁸ And wheresoever it may be getting him down, it is tearing him, and he is frothing and grating his teeth, and is withering away. And I say to Thy disciples that they should be casting it out, and they are not strong enough."
¹⁹ Now He, answering, is saying to them, "O unbelieving generation! Till when shall I be with you? Till when shall I be with you? Bring him to Me."
²⁰ And they bring him to Him. And perceiving Him, the spirit straightway violently convulses him, and, falling on the earth, he wallowed, frothing.
²¹ And He inquires of his father, "How much time is it since this has come to him?" Now he said, "From a little boy.
²² And often it casts him into the fire also, and into waters, that it should be destroying him. But if Thou art in any way able, help us, having compassion on us!"
²³ Now Jesus said to him, "Why the if? You are able to believe. All is possible to him who is believing."
²⁴ Straightway, crying, the father of the little boy said, with tears, "I am believing! Help my unbelief!"
²⁵ Now Jesus, perceiving that the throng is racing on together, rebukes the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Dumb and deaf-mute spirit, I am enjoining you to come out of him, and by no means may you be entering into him any longer."
²⁶ And crying and convulsing him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so that the majority are saying that he died.
²⁷ Now Jesus, holding his hand, rouses him, and he rose.
²⁸ And at His entering the house, His disciples inquired of Him privately, "Wherefore could we not cast it out?"
²⁹ And He said to them, "This species can come out by nothing except by prayer."
³⁰ And coming out thence, they went along through Galilee, and He did not want that anyone may know.
³¹ For He taught His disciples and said to them that "The Son of Mankind is being given up into the hands of men, and they will be killing Him. And, being killed, after three days He will be rising."
³² Yet they were ignorant of the declaration, and they feared to inquire of Him.
³³ And they came into Capernaum, and, coming to be in the house, He inquired of them, "What did you reason with yourselves on the road?"
³⁴ Yet they were silent, for they argued with one another on the road as to who is greatest.
³⁵ And, being seated, He summons the twelve and is saying to them, "If anyone is wanting to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all."
³⁶ And, taking a little child, He stands it in their midst, and, clasping it in His arms, said to them,
³⁷ "Whoever should be receiving one of such little children in My name, is receiving Me, and whosoever may be receiving Me is not receiving Me, but Him Who commissions Me."
³⁸ John averred to Him, saying, "Teacher, we perceived someone casting out demons in Thy name, who is not following us, and we forbade him, for he followed not with us."
³⁹ Yet Jesus said, "Be not forbidding him, for there is no one who will be doing a powerful deed in My name, and will be able swiftly to speak evil of Me.
⁴⁰ For who is not against us is for us.
⁴¹ For whosoever should be giving you a cup of water to drink in the Name, seeing that you are Christ's, verily I am saying to you that by no means should he be losing his wages.
⁴² "And whosoever should be snaring one of these little ones who are believing in Me, ideal is it for him rather if a millstone requiring an ass to turn it were lying about his neck and he were cast into the sea.
⁴³ And if your hand should ever be snaring you, strike it off. It is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed, rather than, having two hands, to come away into Gehenna, into the unextinguished fire
⁴⁴ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁵ And if your foot should be snaring you, strike it off. For it is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed or lame, rather than, having two feet, to be cast into Gehenna, into the unextinguished fire,
⁴⁶ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁷ And if your eye should be snaring you, cast it out. It is ideal for you to be entering into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
⁴⁸ where their worm is not deceasing and the fire is not going out.
⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
⁵⁰ Ideal is the salt, yet if the salt should be becoming savorless, with what will you be seasoning it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another."

Chapter 9 (KJV)

¹ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
² And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
³ And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
⁴ And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
⁵ And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
⁶ For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
⁷ And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
⁸ And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
¹⁰ And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
¹² And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
¹³ But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
¹⁴ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
¹⁵ And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
¹⁶ And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
¹⁸ And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
¹⁹ He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
²⁰ And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
²¹ And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
²² And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
²³ Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
²⁶ And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
²⁸ And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
²⁹ And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
³⁰ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
³² But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
⁴⁰ For he that is not against us is on our part.
⁴¹ For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
⁴² And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
⁴⁴ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
⁴⁶ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
