¹ THEN was Jesus led away by the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. ² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he became hungry. ³ And the tempter coming to him said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made loaves. ⁴ But he answering said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." ⁵ Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and placed him on a wing of the temple, ⁶ and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, "that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." ⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." ⁸ Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; ⁹ and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration." ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and lo! angels came and ministered unto him. ¹² But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee; ¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali: ¹⁴ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen." ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching. ¹⁸ And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him. ²¹ And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. ²² Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him. ²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people. ²⁴ And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. ²⁵ And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

³⁸ But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. ³⁹ And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: ⁴⁰ and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. ⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided 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 who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

⁴ His disciples answered him, Whence can a man here in the desert satisfy these with bread? ⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye?

For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. ¹² And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. ¹³ Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten. ¹⁴ When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone.

³¹ Our fathers did eat manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." ³² Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. ³³ For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God. ³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. ³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more. ³⁶ But I have told you, That though ye have seen me, yet ye have not believed. ³⁷ Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out. ³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. ³⁹ Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴¹ Then the Jews murmured against him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. ⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how then saith this man, That I came down from heaven? ⁴³ Jesus answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And "they shall all be taught of God." Every one therefore who heareth from the Father, and learneth, cometh to me. ⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seen the Father, except he that is with God, he hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are dead. ⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. ⁵¹ I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity. ⁵⁹ These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction; that by patience and the consolation of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thy self down from hence: ¹⁰ for it is written, "He shall give his angels a charge over thee, to guard thee safely; ¹¹ and that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." ¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."

³¹ But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying, ³² "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

⁹ Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

⁹ when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during forty years.

⁵ Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and placed him on a wing of the temple,

²⁶ For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul?

⁵ And the devil taking him up into an exceeding high mountain, displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time: ⁶ and the devil said unto him, I will give thee all this authority, and the glory of these; for to me it is delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it. ⁷ If therefore thou wilt worship before me, all shall be thine.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward.

²⁴ "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man, as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower of it falleth off:"

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of the world are become our Lord's, and his Messiah's, and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁵ and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? Then they placed before him thirty pieces of silver.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out [of it].

³ Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and was going to God;

¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world hath sentence pronounced on him.

²⁰ But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to daemons, and not to God: and I would not have you in communion with daemons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of daemons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and the table of daemons.

¹⁶ And he hath upon his vesture and upon his thigh this name written, king of kings, and lord of lords.

⁸ And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.

²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men.

⁵³ Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?

² And, lo! there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. ³ His aspect was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the guards shook, and became as dead men. ⁵ Then the angel addressing them, said to the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye are seeking Jesus who was crucified.

¹³ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministred unto him.

¹³ And when the devil had closed all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

⁴³ And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched out no hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

⁶ And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, "Let all the angels of God also worship him."

¹¹ And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

³ For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother.

¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and seized upon John, and bound him in prison, for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

²⁰ added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out into all the region round about concerning him.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath.

²⁴ For as yet John was not cast into prison.

⁴³ Then after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁵⁴ This is again a second miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee.

²³ And thou, Capernaum, who hast been exalted unto heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles which have been wrought in thee had been done in Sodom, it had remained unto this day.

²⁴ And when they came to Capernaum, they who receive the tax of two drachmas came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

²¹ And they entered into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath going into the synagogue, he taught.

²³ And he said unto them, Ye will probably say to me this parable, Physician, heal thyself! the works which we have heard to have been performed by thee at Capernaum, do the like here in thy own country.

³⁰ but he passing through the midst of them, went away. ³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath.

¹² After this he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and he continued there not many days.

⁴⁶ Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

¹⁷ and embarking on a vessel were coming across the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

²⁴ then when the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also went into the vessels, and came to Capernaum, in search of Jesus.

⁵⁹ These things he spake in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

²² Now the whole of this was done, that what was spoken of the Lord, by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,

¹⁵ and was there till the death of Herod; that what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."

²³ and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that what was said by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he shall be called a Nazarean.

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, "Himself he took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."

¹⁷ That what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, ¹⁸ "Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment for the heathen. ¹⁹ He shall not contend, nor be clamorous; neither shall any man in the streets hear his voice. ²⁰ A bruised reed shall he not break down, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he break forth in judgment for victory. ²¹ And in his name shall the Gentiles hope."

⁵⁴ But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵⁶ But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

³⁷ For I tell you, that what hath already been written must be fulfilled in me, namely, "He was numbered with the transgressors:" for the things also concerning me draw to their period.

⁴⁴ And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

²⁵ But it is in order that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated me without a cause."

²⁸ After this, Jesus, conscious that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

³⁶ Now these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him shall not be broken." ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."

⁷⁸ through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high, ⁷⁹ to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.

³² A light to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.

² and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh.

¹³ Go then, and learn what is said, "I require mercy and not sacrifice:" for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is approaching.

¹² But from the days of John the Baptist unto the present, the kingdom of heaven is assaulted by violence, and the invaders forcibly seize upon it.

⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

²⁴ Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:

⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind:

¹ THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom.

³² I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.

² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

¹¹ Even the dust of your city, which sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that the kingdom of God is come near to you. ¹² Now I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city. ¹³ Wo to thee Chorazin! wo to thee Bethsaida! for if the miracles which have been done in thee, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long ago sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would they have repented. ¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

⁷ I tell you, that just so will there be joy in heaven over one repentant sinner, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who hold not their need of repentance.

¹⁰ Even so, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God, over one repentant sinner.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when refreshing seasons shall come from the presence of the Lord;

¹⁸ So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.

³⁰ These times indeed of ignorance God then overlooked; but he now commands all men in every place to repent:

²¹ repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ but preached first to those at Damascus, and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, practicing works worthy of repentance.

²⁵ with meekness correcting those who are opposers, if at last God may give unto them repentance so as to submit to the conviction of the truth; ²⁶ and that they may escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured by him for his will.

¹ WHEREFORE, desisting from initiatory discourse respecting Christ, let us advance towards perfection; not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and faith in God,

¹⁶ and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom is born Jesus, who is called Christ. ¹⁷ So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations, and from David to the carrying away into Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ fourteen generations. ¹⁸ Now the generation of Jesus Christ was attended with these circumstances: His mother Mary being betrothed to Joseph, before they cohabited together, she was found with child from the Holy Spirit.

² Now these are the names of the twelve apostles; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²⁹ And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there.

¹⁸ And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

¹⁶ And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men: ¹⁸ and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him. ¹⁹ And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets. ²⁰ And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.

³¹ And again departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

¹ AND it came to pass, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret: ² and he saw two vessels a-ground near the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and washing their nets. ³ Then he went on board one of the vessels, which was Simon's, and desired him to put off a little from the land: and sitting down, he taught the multitudes out of the vessel. ⁴ And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Go off into deep water, and shoot your nets for a draught. ⁵ And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net. ⁶ And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes; and their net was broken. ⁷ And they made signals to their partners in the other vessels, that they should come to their assistance. And they came, and filled both the vessels, so that they were ready to founder. ⁸ Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord! ⁹ For amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken: ¹⁰ as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men. ¹¹ And when they had brought their vessels on shore, they left all, and followed him.

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

⁴⁰ One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. ⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ). ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted [in Greek], is Petros, a Rock.

¹ AFTER these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee, that is of Tiberias.

⁸ One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,)

¹ AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner:

²⁷ but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are, ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence.

²² And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.

⁹ And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²¹ Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men: ¹⁸ and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.

¹⁴ And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him

²⁷ And after these things he went out, and saw a farmer of the taxes, named Levi, sitting at the custom-house: and he said unto him, Follow me.

⁵⁹ And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave.

⁴³ The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me.

²⁶ If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

²⁰ And I became to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law; ²¹ to those who are without law, as without law (not as being without law to God, but under the law to Christ), that I might gain those who were without law. ²² I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak; I became all things to all men, that by every means I might save some.

¹⁶ But admit it, I was not burdensome to you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

²⁷ Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Lo! we have left all and followed thee; what, I pray thee, shall we receive?

²⁸ And Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. ²⁹ Then Jesus in reply said, Verily I say unto you, there is no man who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and the Gospel's, ³⁰ who shall not receive an hundred-fold more now, at this very time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecution, and in the world to come life everlasting. ³¹ But many first, will be last; and the last, first.

²⁸ Then said Peter, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. ²⁹ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that there is no man who hath left family, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ who shall not receive back manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood,

¹ THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons, paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him. ²¹ Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom.

³⁷ And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection.

¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and surnamed them Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder:

³⁷ And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James.

² Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together.

² And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.

²⁰ And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.

⁵⁹ And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave. ⁶⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.

²⁶ If any man cometh after me, and hateth not father, and mother, and wife and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

³³ So then, every one of you who will not part with all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more.

¹⁶ And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had illnesses he cured: ¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, "Himself he took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."

³⁵ And Jesus took a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease, and every malady among the people.

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is approaching. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

⁹ And going on from thence, he came into their synagogue;

¹⁹ When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.

⁵⁴ And coming into his own country, taught them in their synagogues, so that they were exceedingly struck, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these miracles?

¹⁴ And when Jesus was come forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and healed their sick.

³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all: ³¹ insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole world for a testimony to all the nations: and then shall come the final close.

³² But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs. ³³ And the whole city was gathered together about the door; ³⁴ and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.

³⁹ And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.

¹⁰ for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases.

² And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many when they heard him were amazed, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him, that even such miracles are done by his hands?

⁶ And he marvelled at their infidelity. And he went about the villages around, teaching.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being universally admired. ¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up; and he went, according to his usual custom, into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and rose up to read. ¹⁷ And there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah: and unrolling the volume, he found the passage where it is written, ¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the work whereunto he hath anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds;

⁴⁰ So when the sun was set, all who had any indisposed with various diseases, brought them to him; and laying his hands severally on each of them, he cured them. ⁴¹ And devils also went out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was the Messiah.

⁴³ But he said unto them, I must preach the glad tidings of the kingdom of heaven in other cities also: for on this service am I sent. ⁴⁴ And he continued preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹⁷ And on a certain day it happened that he was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees, and doctors of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord for healing them was exercised.

¹⁷ And coming down with them, he stood on a level spot: and the crowd of his disciples, and a vast multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

²² And Jesus addressing them, said, Go, tell John what things ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached unto them.

¹ AND it came to pass afterwards, that he went through every city and village, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him.

¹¹ But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure.

⁹ and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

¹⁰ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath.

¹ AND it came to pass, on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and scribes with the elders came upon him,

¹ AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.

¹⁵ Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them. ¹⁶ Then came together also a multitude from the neighbouring cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were disturbed by unclean spirits; who were healed universally.

¹³ But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he hath inflicted on thy saints at Jerusalem: ¹⁴ and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name. ¹⁵ But the Lord said unto him, Go: for this man is an elect vessel for me, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel: ¹⁶ for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake. ¹⁷ Then went Ananias, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And directly there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he recovered sight instantly, and arose, and was baptised. ¹⁹ And when he had taken nourishment, he regained his strength. And Saul continued with the disciples who were at Damascus several days. ²⁰ And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. ²¹ And all who heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this the man who made havoc at Jerusalem, among those who called on this name? and hither he came for this purpose, that he might carry them in chains unto the chief priests? ²² But Saul was endued with still greater power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is the Messiah. ²³ But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how to kill him: ²⁴ but their design was discovered to Saul. And they kept guard at the gates of the city day and night, that they might kill him. ²⁵ But the disciples taking him by night, got him off through the wall, letting him down in a basket. ²⁶ But when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not crediting that he was a disciple. ²⁷ Then Barnabas taking him by the hand, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how boldly he had preached at Damascus in the name of Jesus. ²⁸ And he was with them coming in, and going out at Jerusalem: ²⁹ and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he talked and disputed with the Grecian proselytes: but they made an attempt to murder him. ³⁰ Then the brethren, when they knew it brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus. ³¹ Then had the churches peace through all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified; and walking in the fear of God, and in the consolation of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. ³² Now it came to pass, as Peter was passing through all parts, that he went down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. ³³ And found there a certain man named AEneas, during six years stretched on a bed, who was paralytic. ³⁴ And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately. ³⁵ And all who dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and they turned to the Lord. ³⁶ But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas:) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did. ³⁷ But it came to pass that in those days she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out in an upper room. ³⁸ And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over to them. ³⁹ Then Peter arose and went with them. And they carried him, on his arrival, into the upper room: and all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made, whilst she was with them. ⁴⁰ But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling in the saints and the widows, presented her to them alive. ⁴² And it was known through all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord. ⁴³ Then it came to pass, that he abode many days at Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

³⁸ respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

⁴ and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.

²⁵ And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!"

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.

⁶ and saying, My servant is lying in the house paralytic, terribly tormented with pain.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour. ¹⁴ And when Jesus was come into the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law laid on a bed, and in a fever. ¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them. ¹⁶ And when evening was come, they brought him many possessed by devils: and he cast out the spirits by a word, and all who had illnesses he cured:

²⁸ And when he came to the other side, into the region of the Girgasenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming from the sepulchres; exceeding fierce, so that no person was able to pass by that road.

² And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee. ³ And lo! some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. ⁴ And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts? ⁵ For which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? ⁶ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority upon earth to forgive sins, (then he saith to the paralytic,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. ⁷ And he arose, and went to his house. ⁸ But when the multitude saw it, they were astonished, and glorified God, who had given such power unto men.

²⁶ And the fame of it went forth into all that country.

³¹ But they going forth, blazoned his fame through all that country. ³² And when they were coming out, behold, they brought unto him a man, dumb, a demoniac.

²² Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.

¹ AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac.

¹⁵ Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.

²⁸ And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.

³² But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.

³ And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four:

² And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit, ³ coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains; ⁴ for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him: ⁵ and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ⁷ and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment. ⁸ (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.) ⁹ And he interrogated him, What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are many. ¹⁰ And he entreated him much that he would not send them out of the country. ¹¹ And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the mountain: ¹² and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. ¹³ And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. ¹⁴ Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done. ¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid. ¹⁶ And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine. ¹⁷ And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts. ¹⁸ And when he embarked on board the vessel, the demoniac besought him, that he might go with him.

² (And this first enrolment was made by Cyrenius, [afterwards] governor of Syria)

³³ And there was in the synagogue a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he roared out with a great cry, ³⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury.

¹⁵ Now the discourse concerning him more and more spread through the country: and vast multitudes came together to hear him, and to be cured by him of their disorders.

²⁷ And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs. ²⁸ But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for many times it had seized on him; and though under a guard, and bound with chains and fetters; yet bursting the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the desert places. ³⁰ Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him. ³¹ And he besought him that he would not order them to go into the abyss. ³² Now a herd of many swine was there feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them. ³³ Then the devils going out of the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and was suffocated. ³⁴ But when those who fed them saw what was done they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country places. ³⁵ And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. ³⁶ Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned.

²¹ Others said, These are not the discourses of a demoniac. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

²³ writing a letter by their hand, in these words: The apostles and presbyters and the brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles which are at Antioch, and in Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:

⁴¹ And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

¹ THEN seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and seating himself, his disciples came to him:

¹ NOW when he descended from the mount, great multitudes followed him.

¹⁵ But Jesus knew it, and retired from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,

² And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him.

²⁰ And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

¹⁹ And all the multitude strove to touch him, for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
