___Matthew chapter 1
 1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
 2 Abraham fathered Isaac, and Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers,
 3 And Judah fathered Pharez and Zarah from Tamar, and Pharez fathered Hezron, and Hezron fathered Ram,
 4 And Ram fathered Amminadab, and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon,
 5 And Salmon fathered Boaz from Rahab, and Boaz fathered Obed from Ruth, and Obed fathered Jesse,
 6 And Jesse fathered David the king, and David the king fathered Solomon from her that had been the wife of Uriah,
 7 And Solomon fathered Rehoboam, and Rehoboam fathered Abijam, and Abijam fathered Asa,
 8 And Asa fathered Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat fathered Jehoram, and Jehoram fathered Ahaziah,
 9 And Ahaziah fathered Joash, and Joash fathered Amaziah, and Amaziah fathered Azariah, and Azariah fathered Jotham, and Jotham fathered Ahaz, and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah,
 10 And Hezekiah fathered Manasseh, and Manasseh fathered Amon, and Amon fathered Josiah,
 11 And Josiah fathered Jehoiakim, and Jehoiakim fathered Jechoniah and his brothers, about the time they were carried away to Babylon,
 12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Salathiel, and Salathiel fathered Zorobabel,
 13 And Zorobabel fathered Abiud, and Abiud fathered Eliakim, and Eliakim fathered Azor,
 14 And Azor fathered Sadoc, and Sadoc fathered Achim, and Achim fathered Eliud,
 15 And Eliud fathered Eleazar, and Eleazar fathered Matthan, and Matthan fathered Jacob,
 16 And Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are about fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are about fourteen generations, and from the carrying away into Babylon to Christ are about fourteen generations.
 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this:  when his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she became pregnant by the Holy Ghost.
 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and who didn't want to make her a public example, was thinking about putting her away privately.
 20 But while he thought about these things, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, you son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Ghost.
 21 And she shall give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins."
 22 Now all this was done, so that it would be fulfilled that was spoken about the Lord by the prophet, saying,
 23 "See, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, God with us.
 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did what the angel of the Lord had told him, and took to himself his wife,
 25 And didn't have sex with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus.

___Matthew chapter 2
 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
 2 Saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews?  For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded they tell him where Christ would be born.
 5 And they told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet,
 6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the princes of Judah, for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel."
 7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, diligently inquired of them what time the star appeared.
 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you've found him, bring me word, so I can come and worship him also."
 9 After they had heard the king, they departed, and the star that they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stopped over where the young child was.
 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him, and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
 12 And being warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another route.
 13 And when they had departed, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Get up, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
 14 When he got up, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed for Egypt,
 15 And was there until the death of Herod, so what was spoken about the Lord by the prophet would be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I have called my son."
 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was very angry, and sent out, and killed all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
 17 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled,
 18 "In Rama there was a voice heard, lamentation, and crying, and great mourning, Rachel crying for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
 19 But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
 20 Saying, "Get up, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who wanted to kill the young child."
 21 And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
 22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the office of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, also, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee,
 23 And he came and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets would be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

___Matthew chapter 3
 1 In those days, John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
 2 And saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
 3 For this is he that was spoken about by the prophet Isaiah, who said, "The voice of someone shouting in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
 4 And the same John had clothing of camel's hair, and a leather girdle around his hips, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
 5 Then Jerusalem went out to him, and all Judea, and all the region around Jordan,
 6 And were baptized by him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, "O generation of snakes, who has warned you to flee from the anger to come?
 8 Produce therefore fruits corresponding to repentance,
 9 And don't think to say inside yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
 10 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees, therefore every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down, and thrown into the fire.
 11 I indeed baptize you with water for repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I am, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire,
 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
 14 But John told him, "No, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
 15 And Jesus answered him, "Allow it to be so now, 'cause this is what we need to do to fulfill all righteousness."  Then he allowed it.
 16 And Jesus, after being baptized, went up directly out of the water, and the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and landing on him,
 17 And there was a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

___Matthew chapter 4
 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread."
 4 But he answered, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
 5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
 6 And said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, He shall give his angels commandment concerning you, and in their hands they shall hold you up, so that you don't at any time dash your foot against a stone."
 7 Jesus said to him, "It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God."
 8 Again, the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
 9 And said to him, "I will give you all these things, if you'll fall down and worship me."
 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get away from here Satan, for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him."
 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and ministered to him.
 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John had been thrown into prison, he went into Galilee,
 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is on the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
 14 So that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled,
 15 "The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
 16 The people who sat in darkness saw great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has sprung up."
 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
 19 And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will teach you to fish for men."
 20 And they immediately left their nets, and followed him.
 21 And going on from there, he saw two more brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
 23 And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people that were afflicted by various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed by devils, and those who were lunatics, and those who had the palsy, and he healed them.
 25 And great multitudes of people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

___Matthew chapter 5
 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set, his disciples came to him,
 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
 5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 'cause they'll be filled.
 7 Blessed are the merciful, 'cause they'll obtain mercy.
 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, 'cause they'll see God.
 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, 'cause they'll be called the children of God.
 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for being righteous, 'cause the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
 11 Blessed are you, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
 12 Rejoice, and be very glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for that's what they did to the prophets who went before you.
 13 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be salted?  It is then good for nothing, except to be thrown out, and to be walked on by men's feet.
 14 You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill can't be hidden.
 15 Nor do men light a candle, and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to all that are in the house.
 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they'll see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
 17 Don't think that I've come to destroy the law, or the prophets, I haven't come to destroy, but to fulfill.
 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth go away, one period or one comma shall in no way pass from the law, until all is fulfilled.
 19 Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
 20 For I say to you, unless you have more righteousness than the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 21 You have heard that it was said by those of old time, 'You shall not kill, and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment,'
 22 But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother without a good reason shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever shall say to his brother, 'You vain fellow,' shall be in danger of the council, but whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be in danger of hell's fire.
 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
 24 Leave your gift there before the altar, and go away, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the road with him, so that the adversary won't turn you over to the judge, and the judge won't turn you over to the officer, and you aren't thrown into prison.
 26 Truly I say to you, you will no way come out from there, until you've paid the very last penny.
 27 You've heard that it was said by those of old time, 'You shall not commit adultery,'
 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
 29 And if your right eye offends you, pluck it out, and throw it from you, for it is profitable for you that one of your members is destroyed, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell.
 30 And if your right hand offends you, cut it off, and throw it from you, for it is profitable for you that one of your members is destroyed, and not that your whole body should be thrown into hell.
 31 It has been said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her divorce papers,'
 32 But I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except because of fornication, causes her to commit adultery, and whoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
 33 Again, you've heard that it has been said by those of old time, 'You shall not falsely promise, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths,'
 34 But I say to you, don't swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is God's throne,
 35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you can't make one hair white or black.
 37 But let your communication be, 'Yes, yes, no, no,' for whatever is more than these comes from evil.
 38 You have heard that it has been said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,'
 39 But I say to you, don't resist evil, but whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
 40 And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your overcoat also.
 41 And whoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two miles.
 42 Give to him that asks you, and don't turn away from him that would borrow from you.
 43 You have heard that it has been said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you,
 45 So that you'll be the children of your Father who is in heaven, for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?  Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
 47 And if you greet your brothers only, what are you doing more than others?  Don't even the tax collectors do so?
 48 Therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."

___Matthew chapter 6
 1 "Be careful that you don't give charitable gifts before men to be seen by them, otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
 2 Therefore when you give charitable gifts, don't sound a trumpet before you, like the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so they'll have honor from men.  Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
 3 But when you give, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
 4 So that your giving will be in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall himself reward you openly.
 5 And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites are, 'cause they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, so they'll be seen by men.  Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
 6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you've shut your door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.
 7 But when you pray, don't use vain repetitions like the heathen do, 'cause they think they'll be heard for their many words.
 8 Therefore, don't be like them, 'cause your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
 9 Therefore, pray like this, 'Our Father who is in heaven, your name be honored.
 10 Let your kingdom come.  Your will be done on earth, like it is in heaven.
 11 Give us today our daily bread.
 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
 13 And don't lead us into temptation, but give us deliverance from evil, for yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.  Amen.'
 14 For if you forgive men their wrong doing, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
 15 But if you don't forgive men their wrong doing, neither will your Father forgive your wrong doing.
 16 Also, when you fast, don't have a sad face like the hypocrites, for they distort their faces, so that they'll appear to men to be fasting.  Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
 17 But you, when you fast, put ointment on your head and wash your face,
 18 So that your don't seem to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward your openly.
 19 Don't store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal,
 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moths nor rust can corrupt, and where thieves don't break through nor steal,
 21 'Cause where your treasure is, your heart will be there also.
 22 The light of the body is the eye, if therefore your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light.
 23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness.  If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is!
 24 No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  You can't serve God and money.
 25 Therefore I say to you, don't think about your life, what you'll eat, or what you'll drink, nor yet for your body, what you'll put on.  Isn't the life more important than food, and the body than clothes?
 26 Look at birds of the air, for they don't plant, nor do they harvest, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Aren't you much better than they are?
 27 Which of you by thinking can add eighteen inches to his height?
 28 And why do you take thought for clothes?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they don't toil, nor do they spin,
 29 And yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
 30 So, if God clothes the grass of the field, that exists today, and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't he much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?  Or, what shall we drink?  Or, what will we wear?'
 32 ('Cause the Gentiles seek for all those things,) for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
 34 Therefore, don't take thought for tomorrow, because tomorrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Each day has enough of its own evil."

___Matthew chapter 7
 1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged, and with what measure you measure out, it shall be measured back to you again.
 3 And why do you look at the speck that's in your brother's eye, but don't consider the plank that's in your own eye?
 4 Or how will you say to your brother, 'Let me pull out the speck out of your eye,' and see, a plank is in your own eye?
 5 You hypocrite, first throw out the plank out of your own eye, and then you'll see clearly to pull out the speck from your brother's eye.
 6 Don't give that which is holy to the dogs, and don't throw your pearls before pigs, so they don't trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.
 7 Ask, and it shall be given to you, seek, and you'll find.  Knock, and it shall be opened to you,
 8 For everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks for bread, will he give him a stone?
 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?
 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
 12 Therefore whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
 13 Enter in at the restricted gate, 'cause wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and there are many that go in there,
 14 Because the gate is restricted, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
 15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are greedy wolves.
 16 You will know them by their fruits.  Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but a corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
 18 A good tree can't produce bad fruit, nor can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
 19 Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
 20 So, by their fruits you'll know them.
 21 Not everyone that says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, haven't we prophesied in your name?  And in your name have cast out devils?  And in your name done many wonderful works?'
 23 And then I'll tell them, I never knew you, go away from me, you sinners.
 24 Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock,
 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house, and it didn't fall, 'cause it was founded on a rock.
 26 And everyone that hears these sayings of mine, and doesn't do them, is like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand,
 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house, and it fell, and it was a big disaster."
 28 And when Jesus had finished these sayings, the people were amazed at his doctrine,
 29 'Cause he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes.

___Matthew chapter 8
 1 When he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
 2 And a leper came and worshipped him, and said, "Lord, if you would, you can make me clean."
 3 And Jesus put out his hand, and touched him, and said, "I will, be clean."  And immediately he was cleansed from leprosy.
 4 And Jesus said to him, "Make sure you don't tell anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
 5 And when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, begging him,
 6 And saying, "Lord, my servant lies at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented."
 7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
 8 The centurion answered him, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.
 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this man, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'come,' and he comes, and to my servant, do this, and he does it."
 10 When Jesus heard it, he was surprised, and said to those who followed, "Truly I say to you, I haven't found such great faith, no, not in Israel.
 11 And I say to you that many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be thrown out into outer darkness, there shall be crying and gnashing of teeth."
 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way, and what you've believed for shall be done to you."  And his servant was healed in the same hour.
 14 And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and sick with a fever.
 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up, and waited on them.
 16 When evening had come, they brought to him many that were possessed by devils, and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick,
 17 So that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, "Himself took our infirmities, and carried our sicknesses."
 18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave commandment to depart for the other side.
 19 And a certain scribe came, and said to him, "Master, I will follow you wherever you go."
 20 And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man doesn't have a place to lay his head."
 21 And another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead."
 23 And when he had entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
 24 And a great storm came up in the sea, so that the ship was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, and said, "Lord, save us, we're about to die."
 26 And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?"  Then he got up, and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
 27 But the men were amazed, and said, "What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"
 28 And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by devils met him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.
 29 And they called out, saying, "What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God?  Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
 30 And there was a good way off from them a herd of many pigs feeding.
 31 So the devils asked him, "If you cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of pigs."
 32 And he said to them, "Go."  And when they had come out, they went into the herd of pigs, and the whole herd of pigs ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and drowned in the waters.
 33 And those who kept them fled, and went into the city, and told everything, and what had happened to those possessed by devils.
 34 And the whole city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they asked him to go away out of their coasts.

___Matthew chapter 9
 1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
 2 And, they brought him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed, and Jesus seeing their faith said to the man sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven."
 3 And, certain of the scribes said inside themselves, "This man has blasphemed."
 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
 5 For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
 6 But so that you'll know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins," (then he said to the man sick of the palsy,) "Get up, pick up your bed, and go to your house."
 7 And he got up, and went to his house.
 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they were amazed, and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
 9 And as Jesus departed from there, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting and collecting taxes, and he said to him, "Follow me."  And he got up, and followed him.
 10 And as Jesus sat to eat in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, "Those who are well don't need a doctor, but those who sick.
 13 But go and learn what it means, 'I want mercy, not sacrifice,' for I haven't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
 14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"
 15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn, while the bridegroom is with them?  But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they'll fast.
 16 No man sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment, 'cause what is put in to fill it up takes from the garment, and the tear gets worse.
 17 Nor do men put new wine into old bottles, otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles are destroyed, but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved."
 18 While he spoke these things to them, a certain ruler came and worshipped him, saying, "My daughter is dead now, but come and lay your hand on her, and she'll live."
 19 And Jesus got up, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
 20 And, a woman who had been diseased for twelve years with bleeding that wouldn't stop, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment,
 21 For she said inside herself, "If I can just touch his garment, I'll be well."
 22 But Jesus turned around, and when he saw her, he said, "Daughter, be of good comfort, your faith has made you well."  And the woman was made well from that hour.
 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
 24 He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping."  And they laughed at him scornfully.
 25 But when the people had been put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.
 26 And the news of this went around into all that land.
 27 And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "You Son of David, have mercy on us."  
 28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I'm able to do this?"  They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
 29 Then he touched their eyes, and said, "Have what you're believing for."
 30 And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly commanded them, "Make sure that no man knows it."
 31 But they, when they had departed, spread around his fame in all that country.
 32 As they went out, they brought to him a man who couldn't speak, possessed by a devil.
 33 And when the devil had been cast out, the man spoke, and the multitudes were amazed, saying, "It was never so seen in Israel."
 34 But the Pharisees said, "He casts out devils through the prince of the devils."
 35 And Jesus went around all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few,
 38 Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest, that he will send out laborers into his harvest."

___Matthew chapter 10
 1 And when he had called to himself his twelve disciples, he gave them authority against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.
 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these, the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
 3 Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus Thaddaeus,
 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
 5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, "Don't go into the way of the Gentiles, and don't enter into any city of the Samaritans,
 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
 7 And as you go, preach, and say, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, you have received for free, give for free.
 9 Don't provide gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
 10 Nor paper money for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor yet staves, 'cause the workman is worthy of his food.
 11 And into whatever city or town you enter, ask who in it is worthy, and live there until you leave that city.
 12 And when you go into a house, greet the people there.
 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
 14 And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
 15 Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
 16 See, I send you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
 17 But beware of men, 'cause they'll deliver you up to the councils, and they'll scourge you in their synagogues,
 18 And you'll be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
 19 But when they deliver you up, don't think about how or what you'll say, for it shall be given to you in that same hour what to say.
 20 For it is not you that speaks, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you.
 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child, and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
 22 And you'll be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another, for truly I say to you, you won't have gone over the cities of Israel, until the Son of man has come.
 24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his master, and the servant like his lord.  If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call those of his household?
 26 Therefore don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered, that won't be revealed, and nothing hidden, that won't become known.
 27 What I tell you in darkness, speak in light, and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
 28 And don't fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
 29 Aren't two sparrows sold for a farthing?  And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
 31 Therefore don't be afraid, you are of more value than many sparrows.
 32 Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
 33 But whoever shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
 34 Don't think that I've come to send peace on earth, I didn't come to send peace, but a sword.
 35 For I've come to set a man contrary to his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
 36 And a man's enemies shall be those of his own household.
 37 He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
 38 And he that doesn't take his cross, and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
 39 He that finds his life shall lose it, and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
 40 He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
 41 He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
 42 And whoever shall give only a cup of water to drink to one of these little ones, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall in no way lose his reward."

___Matthew chapter 11
 1 And when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
 2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
 3 And said to him, "Are you he that was supposed to come, or should we be looking for someone else?"
 4 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John again the things that you hear and see,
 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
 6 And blessed is he, whoever is not offended by me."
 7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see?  A bush shaken by the wind?
 8 But what did you go out to see?  A man clothed in soft clothing?  Those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
 9 But what did you go out to see?  A prophet?  Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
 10 For this is he, about whom it is written, 'See, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.'
 11 Truly I say to you, among those born of women, no one greater than John the Baptist has arisen, but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven endures violence, and the violent take it by force.
 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
 14 And if you'll receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come.
 15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
 16 But to what shall I liken this generation?  It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their friends,
 17 And saying, 'We have piped to you, and you haven't danced, we have mourned to you, and you haven't lamented.'
 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a devil.'
 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'See, a glutton and a wino, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'  But wisdom is justified by her children."
 20 Then he began to find fault with the cities in which most of his mighty works were done, because they didn't repent,
 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin!  Woe to you, Bethsaida!  For if the mighty works that have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Zidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
 22 But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Zidon on the day of judgment, than for you.
 23 And you, Capernaum, that has been lifted up to heaven, shall be brought down to hell, for if the mighty works that have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
 24 But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."
 25 At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you've hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babies.
 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in your sight.
 27 All things are delivered to me by my Father, and no man knows the Son, but the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son will reveal him.
 28 Come to me, all of you that labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
 29 Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you'll find rest for your souls.
 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

___Matthew chapter 12
 1 At that time Jesus went through the corn fields on the Sabbath day, and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, "See, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day."
 3 But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
 4 How he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
 5 Or haven't you read in the law, how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath day, and are blameless?
 6 But I say to you, there is someone in this place greater than the temple.
 7 But if you had known what this means, 'I want mercy, not sacrifice,' you wouldn't have condemned the innocent.
 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."
 9 And when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue,
 10 And a man was there with a withered hand.  And they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?," so they could accuse him.
 11 And he said to them, "What man is there among you, who if he has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, won't he take hold of it, and lift it out?
 12 How much then is a man better than a sheep?  So, it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days."
 13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."  And he stretched it out, and it was restored well, like the other one.
 14 Then the Pharisees went out, and plotted how they could destroy him.
 15 But when Jesus knew it, he went away from there, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,
 16 And commanded them not to make him known,
 17 So that what the prophet Isaiah spoke would be fulfilled,
 18 "Look at my servant, whom I've chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased, I will put my spirit on him, and he'll show judgment to the gentiles.
 19 He won't strive, nor shout, nor shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
 20 He won't break a bruised reed, and he won't quench smoking flax, until he causes justice to be victorious.
 21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust."
 22 Then someone possessed by a devil was brought to him, blind, and not able to speak, and he healed him, so that the blind and speechless man spoke and saw.
 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, "Isn't this the son of David?"
 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This fellow doesn't cast out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils."
 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself gets destroyed, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand,
 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself, how then shall his kingdom stand?
 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?  Therefore they'll be your judges.
 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, unless he first binds the strong man?  And then he will spoil his house.
 30 He that is not with me is against me, and he that doesn't gather with me scatters away.
 31 So I say to you, all kinds of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven to men.
 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, he'll be forgiven for it, but whoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, he won't be forgiven for it, neither in this world, nor in the next world.
 33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt, 'cause the tree is known by its fruit.
 34 O generation of snakes, how can you, being evil, speak good things?  For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings out good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings out evil things.
 36 But I say to you that every idle word that men shall speak, they'll give account of on the day of judgment.
 37 For by your words you'll be justified, and by your words you'll be condemned."
 38 Then certain scribes and Pharisees answered, "Master, we want to see a sign from you."
 39 But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah,
 40 For like Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and see, a greater than Jonah is here.
 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, 'cause she came from the farthest parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and see, a greater than Solomon is here.
 43 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
 44 Then he says, I'll return into my house that I came out of, and when he gets there, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
 45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there, and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.  That's how it will be also, for this wicked generation."
 46 While he still talked to the people, his mother and his brothers stood outside, desiring to speak with him.
 47 Then someone said to him, "See, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and want to talk with you."
 48 But he answered him that told him, "Who is my mother?  And who are my brothers?"
 49 And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, "Look at my mother and my brothers!
 50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

___Matthew chapter 13
 1 The same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
 3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, and said, "See, a planter went out to plant,
 4 And when he planted, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them up,
 5 Some fell on stony places, where there wasn't much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth,
 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away.
 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked them,
 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.
 9 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
 10 And the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
 11 He answered them, "Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
 12 For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him shall be taken away even what he has.
 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because they seeing, don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, nor do they understand.
 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah that says, 'By hearing, you'll hear, and not understand, and seeing, you'll see, and won't perceive,'
 15 For these people's hearts have become large, and their ears are dull of hearing, and they've closed their eyes, so that at no time will they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I would heal them.
 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
 17 For truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things that you see, and haven't seen them, and to hear the things that you hear, and haven't heard them.
 18 Therefore hear the parable of the planter.
 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and doesn't understand it, then the wicked one comes, and catches away what was planted in his heart.  This is he who received seed by the way side.
 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, is he that hears the word, and with joy receives it,
 21 Yet doesn't have roots in himself, but endures for a while, 'cause when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, then he becomes offended.
 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word, and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also produces fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold."
 24 He spoke another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field,
 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and planted tares among the wheat, and went his way.
 26 But when the blade had sprung up, and produced fruit, then the tares appeared also.
 27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you plant good seed in your field?  So why do we have tares?'
 28 He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.'  The servants said to him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
 29 But he said, No, 'cause while you gather up the tares, you'll also uproot some of the wheat with the tares.
 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
 31 He gave them another parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, that a man took, and planted in his field,
 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it has grown up, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches of it."
 33 He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, that a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until all of it was leavened."
 34 Jesus spoke all these things to the multitude in parables, and he didn't speak to them without a parable,
 35 So that it would be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, "I will open my mouth in parables, I will tell things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
 37 He answered them, "He that plants the good seed is the Son of man,
 38 The field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one,
 39 The enemy that planted them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels.
 40 Therefore, like the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, that's how it will be at the end of this world.
 41 The Son of man shall send out his angels, and they'll gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who sin,
 42 And shall throw them into a furnace of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
 43 Then the righteous shall shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
 44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which, when a man has found, he hides, and rejoicing about that, goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking good pearls,
 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was thrown into the sea, and gathered of every kind,
 48 Which, when it was full, they pulled it to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but threw the bad away.
 49 It shall be like that at the end of the world, the angels shall come, and separate the wicked from among the just,
 50 And shall throw them into the furnace of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
 51 Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all of these things?"  They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
 52 Then he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been instructed regarding the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a householder, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."
 53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
 54 And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, such that they were astonished, and said, "From where does this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
 55 Isn't this the carpenter's son?  Isn't his mother called Mary?  And his brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
 56 And his sisters, aren't they all with us?  From where then does this man have all these things?"
 57 And they were offended at him.  But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
 58 And he didn't do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

___Matthew chapter 14
 1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
 2 And said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are done by him."
 3 'Cause Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
 4 'Cause John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they viewed him as a prophet.
 6 But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
 7 And so he swore that he would give her whatever she would ask for.
 8 And she, being before instructed by her mother, said, "Give me here John Baptist's head in a container."
 9 And the king was sorry, but because of the oath and those who sat with him to eat, he commanded it to be given to her.
 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
 11 And his head was brought in a container, and given to the young woman, and she brought it to her mother.
 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
 13 When Jesus heard about it, he departed from there by ship into a desert place apart, and when the people had heard about it, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
 14 And Jesus went out, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
 15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a desert place, and the time has now passed, send the multitude away, so they can go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
 16 But Jesus said to them, "They don't need to go, you give them food."
 17 And they said to him, "We have only five loaves here, and two fish."
 18 He said, "Bring them here to me."
 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 20 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up of the pieces that remained twelve baskets full.
 21 And those who had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
 22 And immediately Jesus told his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray, and when the evening had come, he was there alone.
 24 But the ship was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by waves, 'cause the wind was contrary.
 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, and said, "It is a spirit," and they shouted out for fear.
 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer, it is I, don't be afraid."
 28 And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water."
 29 And he said, "Come."  And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
 30 But when he saw the very strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he shouted, "Lord, save me."
 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
 32 And when they had come into the ship, the wind stopped.
 33 Then those who were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God."
 34 And when they had gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
 35 And when the men of that place knew about him, they sent out into all that country around there, and brought to him all that were diseased,
 36 And asked him to just let them touch the hem of his garment, and as many as touched were made perfectly well.

___Matthew chapter 15
 1 Then scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
 2 "Why do your disciples go against the tradition of the elders?  They don't wash their hands when they eat bread."
 3 But he answered them, "Why do you also go against the commandment of God by your tradition?
 4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and mother, and he that curses father or mother, let him die the death.'
 5 But you say, 'Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, whatever I might have given you has been given to God,
 6 And doesn't honor his father or his mother, he shall be free.'  Thus, you've made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well about you, saying,
 8 These people come near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
 9 But they worship me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
 10 And he called the multitude, and said to them, "Listen, and understand,
 11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, that defiles a man."
 12 Then his disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
 13 But he answered, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be uprooted.
 14 Let them alone, they are blind leaders of the blind.  And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
 15 Then Peter said to him, "Explain to us this parable."
 16 And Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding?
 17 Don't you yet understand, that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and goes out into the toilet?
 18 But the things that proceed out of the mouth come out from the heart, and they defile the man.
 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies,
 20 These are the things that defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile a man."
 21 Then Jesus went from there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Zidon.
 22 And a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and called to him, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, you Son of David, my daughter is grievously tormented by a devil."
 23 But he didn't answer her a word.  And his disciples came and asked him to send her away, 'cause she calls to us.
 24 But he answered, "I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
 25 Then she came and worshipped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
 26 But he answered, "It's not right to take the children's bread, and to throw it to dogs."
 27 And she said, "Truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat from the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
 28 Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith, have what you want."  And her daughter was made well from that very hour.
 29 And Jesus departed from there, and came near the sea of Galilee, and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
 30 And great multitudes came to him, having with them those who were lame, blind, unable to speak, maimed, and many others, and dropped them down at Jesus' feet, and he healed them,
 31 So that the multitude was amazed, when they saw the dumb speak, the maimed well, the lame walk, and the blind see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
 32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat, and I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."
 33 And his disciples said to him, from where would we have enough bread in the wilderness, that would fill so great a multitude?"
 34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?"  And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
 36 And he took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 37 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left, seven baskets full.
 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, beside women and children.
 39 And he sent away the multitude, and boarded a ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

___Matthew chapter 16
 1 The Pharisees and Sadducees also came, and tempting, wanted him to show them a sign from heaven.
 2 He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, 'cause the sky is red.'
 3 And in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, 'cause the sky is red and lowering.'  Oh you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times?
 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah."  And he left them, and departed.
 5 And when his disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
 6 Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have brought no bread."
 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said to them, "Oh you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves, because you didn't bring any bread?
 9 Don't you yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
 10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
 11 How is it that you don't understand that I wasn't talking about bread, that you should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
 12 Then they understood that he wasn't telling them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?"
 14 And they said, "Some say that you are John the Baptist, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
 15 He said to them, "But whom do you say that I am?"
 16 And Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
 17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, 'cause flesh and blood haven't revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
 18 And I say also to you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
 20 Then he instructed his disciples not to tell anyone that he was Jesus, the Christ.
 21 From then on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Be it far from you, Lord, this shall not be for you."
 23 But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan, you are an offense to me, 'cause you don't prefer the things that are of God, but those that are of men."
 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
 25 For whoever will save his life shall lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
 26 For how does a man profit, if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
 28 Truly I say to you, there are some standing here, who won't taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."

___Matthew chapter 17
 1 And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart,
 2 And his appearance was changed before them, and his face shined like the sun, and his clothing was white like the light.
 3 And Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.
 4 Then Peter responded, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it's good for us to be here, if you're willing, let's make three tents here, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
 5 While he yet spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and there was a voice out of the cloud that said, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to him."
 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were very afraid.
 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Get up, and don't be afraid."
 8 And when they looked up, they saw no man except Jesus.
 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus told them to tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man had risen again from the dead.
 10 And his disciples asked him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
 11 And Jesus answered them, "Elijah truly does come first, and restores all things.
 12 But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they didn't know him, but have done to him whatever they wanted.  Likewise also shall the Son of man suffer from them."
 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.
 14 And when they had come to the multitude, a certain man came to him, kneeling down to him, and saying,
 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, 'cause he is a lunatic, and quite vexed, 'cause he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
 16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they couldn't cure him."
 17 Then Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?  How long shall I endure you?  Bring him to me."
 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he went out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour.
 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why couldn't we cast him out?"
 20 And Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief, for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you'll say to this mountain, 'Move from here to that other place,' and it shall go there, and nothing shall be impossible to you.
 21 But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."
 22 And while they stayed in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men,
 23 And they'll kill him, and the third day he'll be raised again."  And they were very sorry.
 24 And when they'd come to Capernaum, the tax collectors came to Peter, and said, "Doesn't your master pay taxes?"
 25 He said, "Yes."  And when he had come into the house, Jesus stopped him, saying, "What do you think, Simon?  From whom do the kings of the earth take custom or taxes?  From their own children, or from strangers?"
 26 Peter said to him, "From strangers."  Jesus said to him, "Then the children are free.
 27 But still, so we won't offend them, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up, and when you've opened its mouth, you'll find a piece of money.  Take that, and give to them for me and you."

___Matthew chapter 18
 1 At the same time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
 2 And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him among them,
 3 And said, "Truly I say to you, unless you're converted, and become like little children, you won't enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself like this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
 5 And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
 6 But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it would have been better for him that a millstone had been hung around his neck, and that he had been drowned in the depth of the sea.
 7 Woe to the world because of offences!  'Cause it must happen that offences come, but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
 8 So if your hand or your foot offends you, cut them off, and throw them from you, it is better for you to enter into life missing a body part, rather than having two hands or two feet to be thrown into everlasting fire.
 9 And if your eye offends you, pluck it out, and throw it from you, it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be thrown into the fire of hell.
 10 Be careful that you don't offend one of these little ones, for I say to you, that in heaven, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
 11 For the Son of man has come to save those who were lost.
 12 What do you think?  If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, doesn't he leave the ninety nine, and go into the mountains, and seek the one that went astray?
 13 And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more about that sheep, than about the ninety nine that didn't go astray.
 14 Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, for one of these little ones to be destroyed.
 15 Also if your brother wrongs you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone, if he agrees, you've gained your brother.
 16 But if he doesn't agree, then take with you one or two more, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word will be established.
 17 And if he won't hear them, tell it to the church, but if he won't hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen man and a tax collector.
 18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
 19 Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them."
 21 Then Peter came to him, and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?  Until seven times?"
 22 Jesus said to him, "I don't say to you, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
 23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who would take account of his servants.
 24 And when he had begun to reckon, someone was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
 25 But since he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all that I owe.'
 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and set him free, and forgave him the debt.
 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred pence, and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe.'
 29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
 30 And he wouldn't, but went and threw him into prison, until he paid the debt.
 31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told their lord all that had happened.
 32 Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, 'O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me to.
 33 Shouldn't you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, like I had pity on you?'
 34 And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he paid all that was due.
 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you don't from your hearts forgive everyone his brother their trespasses."

___Matthew chapter 19
 1 And when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and went into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan,
 2 And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
 3 The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every reason?"
 4 And he answered them, "Haven't you read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female,
 5 And said, 'For this reason shall a man leave father and mother, and shall stick with his wife, and the two of them shall be one flesh?'
 6 So, they are no longer two, but one flesh.  What therefore God has joined together, let man not separate."
 7 They said to him, "Why did Moses then command to give divorce papers, and to put her away?"
 8 He said to them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses allowed you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
 9 And I say to you, whoever shall put away his wife, except if there was fornication, and shall marry someone else, commits adultery, and whoever marries her that was put away commits adultery."
 10 His disciples said to him, "If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not good to marry."
 11 But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, except those to whom it has been given.
 12 For there are some eunuchs, who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.  He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."
 13 Then little children were brought to him, so that he would put his hands on them and pray, and his disciples rebuked them.
 14 But Jesus said, "Allow little children to come to me, and don't forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
 16 And, someone came and said to him, "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, so that I can have eternal life?"
 17 And he said to him, "Why do you call me good?  No one is good except one, that is, God, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
 18 He said to him, "Which?"  Jesus said, "You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not tell lies,
 19 Honor your father and your mother, and, you shall love your neighbor like yourself."
 20 The young man said to him, "I have kept all these things from my youth up, what do I yet lack?"
 21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come and follow me."
 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, that it's difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
 25 When his disciples heard it, they were quite amazed, and said, "Who then can be saved?"
 26 But Jesus looked at them, and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
 27 Then Peter answered him, "See, we've forsaken all, and followed you, what shall we have therefore?"
 28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who've followed me, in the new creation when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
 29 And everyone that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
 30 But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first."

___Matthew chapter 20
 1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a house holder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
 2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
 4 And said to them, you go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.  And they went their way.
 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and said to them, why do you stand here idle all day?
 7 They said to him, because no man has hired us.  He said to them, you go also into the vineyard, and whatever is right, you'll receive.
 8 So when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, call the laborers, and give them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.
 9 And when those who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each received a penny.
 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would have received more, and they likewise received every man a penny.
 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the house holder,
 12 And said, 'These more recent hires have worked only one hour, and you've made them equal to us, who have endured the burden and heat of the day.'
 13 But he answered one of them, and said, 'Friend, I've done you no wrong, didn't you agree with me for a penny?
 14 Take what is yours, and be on your way, I will give to this last the same as to you.
 15 Isn't it legal for me to do what I choose with my own money?  Is your eye evil, because I am good?'
 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen."
 17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart on the way, and said to them,
 18 "See, we're going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they'll sentence him to death,
 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him, and the third day he'll rise back up."
 20 Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to him with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing from him.
 21 And he said to her, "What do you want?"  She said to him, "Grant that these two sons of mine will sit, one on your right hand, and the other on the left, in your kingdom."
 22 But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you're asking.  Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"  They said to him, "We are able."
 23 And he said to them, "You shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
 24 And when the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers.
 25 But Jesus called them to himself, and said, "You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise authority over them, and those who are great exercise authority on them.
 26 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.
 27 And whoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant,
 28 Just as the Son of man didn't come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
 29 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
 30 And two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, called out, saying, "Have mercy on us, Oh Lord, you Son of David."
 31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should be quiet, but they shouted the more, "Have mercy on us, Oh Lord, you Son of David."
 32 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, "What do you want me to do for you?"
 33 They said to him, "Lord, for our eyes to be opened."
 34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

___Matthew chapter 21
 1 And when they came near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
 2 Saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you'll find an ass tied, and a colt with her, untie them, and bring them to me.
 3 And if any man says anything to you, say the Lord needs them, and immediately he will send them."
 4 All this was done, so that what was spoken by the prophet would be fulfilled, who said,
 5 "Tell the daughter of Zion, see, your King comes to you meek, and sitting on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass."
 6 And the disciples went, and did what Jesus commanded them,
 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put their clothes on them, and they placed him as the rider.
 8 And a very great multitude spread their garments on the path, others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, called out, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest."
 10 And when he had come to Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, "Who is this?"
 11 And the multitude said, "This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."
 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and threw out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,
 13 And said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called the house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of thieves."
 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children calling out in the temple, and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were very displeased,
 16 And said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?"  And Jesus said to them, "Yes, have you never read, Out of the mouth of babies and sucklings you have perfected praise?"
 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there.
 18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he was hungry.
 19 And when he saw a fig tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it except leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you from now on, forever."  And soon the fig tree withered away.
 20 And when the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said, Look how soon the fig tree has withered away!
 21 Jesus answered them, "Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and don't doubt, you'll not only do this that has been done to the fig tree, but also if you'll say to this mountain, be removed, and be thrown into the sea, it shall be done.
 22 And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you'll receive."
 23 And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things?  And who gave you this authority?"
 24 And Jesus answered them, "I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things."
 25 "The baptism of John, where was it from?  From heaven, or of men?"  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he'll say to us, 'Then why didn't you believe him?'
 26 But if we say, 'from men,' we fear the people, for all count John as a prophet."
 27 And they answered Jesus, "We can't tell."  And he said to them, "Nor do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
 28 But what do you think?  A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.'
 29 He answered, 'I won't,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise.  And he answered, 'I go, sir,' and didn't go.
 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?"  They said to him, "The first."  Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.
 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, and you, when you had seen it, didn't repent afterward, so that you would believe him.
 33 Hear another parable, there was a certain house holder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and rented it to vineyard keepers, and went into a far country.
 34 And when the time of fruit came near, he sent his servants to the vineyard keepers, to collect fruit from them.
 35 And the vineyard keepers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first, and they did like that to them also.
 37 But last of all he sent them his son, saying, 'They'll respect my son.'
 38 But when the vineyard keepers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir.  Come, let's kill him, and let's take his inheritance.'
 39 And they caught him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
 40 Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vineyard keepers?"
 41 They said to him, "He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will rent his vineyard to other vineyard keepers, who'll pay him the fruits in their seasons."
 42 Jesus said to them, "Didn't you ever read in the scriptures, 'The stone that the builders rejected, has become the cornerstone, this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?'
 43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
 44 And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
 46 But when they wanted to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him to be a prophet.

___Matthew chapter 22
 1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
 2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding for his son,
 3 And sent out his servants to call those who'd been invited to the wedding, and they wouldn't come.
 4 Again, he sent out other servants, and said, tell those who've been invited, see, I've prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come to the wedding.
 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise,
 6 And the rest of them took his servants, and mistreated them, and killed them.
 7 But when the king heard about it, he was angry, and he sent out his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
 9 Go therefore into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests.
 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who wasn't wearing a wedding garment,
 12 And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?'  And he couldn't answer.
 13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and throw him into outer darkness.'  There shall be crying and gnashing of teeth.
 14 For many are called, but few are chosen."
 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they could entangle him in his talk.
 16 And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, and said, "Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, nor do you care for any man, for you don't regard the person of men.
 17 Tell us therefore, what do you think?  Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?
 19 Show me the tax money."  And they brought him a penny.
 20 And he said to them, "Whose is this image and superscription?"
 21 They said to him, "Caesar's."  Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
 22 When they had heard these words, they were amazed, and left him, and went their way.
 23 The same day the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him,
 24 "Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.
 25 Now there were seven brothers with us, and the first, when he had married a wife died, and having no children, left his wife to his brother.
 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, until the seventh.
 27 And last of all the woman died also.
 28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven?  For they all had her."
 29 Jesus answered them, "You err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven.
 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read what was spoken to you by 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."
 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he'd put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
 35 Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
 36 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
 37 Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
 38 This is the first and great commandment.
 39 And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor like yourself.
 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
 42 "What do you think about Christ?  Whose son is he?"  They said to him, "The Son of David."
 43 He said to them, "How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
 44 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?'
 45 If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man from that day on dare to ask him anymore questions.

___Matthew chapter 23
 1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
 2 Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' office,
 3 Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do it, but don't do like they do, for they say, but don't do.
 4 For they tie heavy burdens and grievous to be carried, and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves won't move them with one of their fingers.
 5 But they do all their works to be seen by men, they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the main seats in the synagogues,
 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.'
 8 But don't you be called Rabbi, 'cause you have one Master, Christ, and all of you are brothers.
 9 And don't call any man your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in heaven.
 10 And don't be called masters, for one is your Master, who is Christ.
 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
 12 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low, and he that shall humble himself shall be lifted up.
 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for you don't go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  'Cause you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer, therefore you'll receive the greater damnation.
 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  'Cause you travel over sea and land to make one convert, and after he's converted, you make him twice as much the child of hell as yourselves.
 16 Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!'
 17 You fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that makes the gold holy?
 18 And, 'Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is guilty.'
 19 You fools and blind, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift holy?
 20 Whoever therefore swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things that are on it.
 21 And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him that lives in it.
 22 And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits on it.
 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  'Cause you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith.  These you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
 24 You blind guides, who choke on a gnat, and swallow a camel.
 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  'Cause you wash the outside of the cup and platter, but inside they are full of extortion and excess.
 26 You blind Pharisee, clean first that which is inside the cup and platter, so that the outside of them will be clean also.
 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  'Cause you are like whitened tombs, that indeed appear to be beautiful outwardly, but are inside full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
 28 Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and sin.
 29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  Because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
 30 And say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
 31 So you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the children of those who killed the prophets.
 32 Fill up then the measure of your fathers.
 33 You serpents, you generation of snakes, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
 34 So see, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and some of them you'll kill and crucify, and some of them you'll scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city,
 35 So that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
 36 Truly I say to you, all these things shall come on this generation.
 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you weren't willing!
 38 See, your house is left to you desolate.
 39 For I say to you, you won't see me from now on, until you say, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord."

___Matthew chapter 24
 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple, and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
 2 And Jesus said to them, "Don't you see all these things?  Truly I say to you, there won't be left here one stone on another, that won't be thrown down."
 3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when shall these things be?  And what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?"
 4 And Jesus answered them, "Make sure that no man deceives you.
 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
 6 And you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars.  Make sure you're not troubled, for all these things must happen, but the end is not yet.
 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in various places.
 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
 9 Then they'll deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you'll be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
 10 And then, many shall be offended, and shall betray each other, and shall hate each other.
 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and deceive many.
 12 And because sin shall be abundant, the love of many shall grow cold.
 13 But he that endures to the end, shall be saved.
 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come.
 15 Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken about by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand,)
 16 Then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains,
 17 Let him that is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house,
 18 Neither let him that is in the field return back to take his clothes.
 19 And woe to those who are with child, and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
 20 But pray that your flight won't be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath day,
 21 For then there shall be great tribulation, such as hasn't been since the beginning of the world until that time, no, nor ever shall be.
 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
 23 Then if any man shall say to you, see, here is Christ, or there, don't believe it.
 24 For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, so that, if it were possible, they'll deceive the very elect.
 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
 26 So if they say to you, 'See, he is in the desert,' don't go out, 'see, he is in the secret rooms,' don't believe it.
 27 For like the lightning comes out of the east, and shines all the way to the west, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
 30 And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven, and then all of the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
 32 Now learn a parable from the fig tree, when its branch is yet tender, and puts out leaves, you know that summer is near.
 33 So likewise you, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
 34 Truly I say to you, this generation shall not pass, until all these things have been fulfilled.
 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
 36 But regarding that day and hour no man knows, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
 39 And didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
 40 Then two shall be in the field.  One shall be taken, and the other left.
 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill.  One shall be taken, and the other left.
 42 Be ready therefore, 'cause you don't know at what hour your Lord comes.
 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known at what time the thief would come, he would have stayed awake, and would not have allowed his house to be broken up.
 44 Therefore, you be ready also, for in such an hour as you don't think so, the Son of man will come.
 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find doing so.
 47 Truly I say to you, that he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,'
 49 And begins to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
 50 The lord of that servant shall come on a day when he's not looking for him, and at an hour that he is not aware of,
 51 And shall cut him in pieces, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites.  There shall be crying and gnashing of teeth."

___Matthew chapter 25
 1 "The kingdom of heaven is like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them,
 4 But the wise took oil in their containers with their lamps.
 5 While the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
 6 And at midnight there was a shout made, 'See, the bridegroom's coming, go out to meet him.'
 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, 'cause our lamps have gone out.'
 9 But the wise answered, 'Not so, or there may not be enough for us and you, but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut.
 11 The other virgins also came afterward, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'
 12 But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I don't know you.'
 13 Be ready therefore, 'cause you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man will come.
 14 For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each man according to his particular abilities, and immediately took his journey.
 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained another five talents.
 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained another two.
 18 But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
 19 After a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.
 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents, see, I've gained beside them five talents more.'
 21 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, you've been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things, enter into the joy of your lord.'
 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents, see, I've gained two other talents beside them.'
 23 His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant, you've been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things, enter into the joy of your lord.'
 24 Then he that had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you haven't planted, and gathering where you haven't strawed,
 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth, see, there you have what is yours.'
 26 His lord answered him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I didn't plant, and gather where I haven't strawed.
 27 You should therefore have put my money with the exchangers, and then when I returned, I would have received what was mine plus interest.
 28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
 29 For to everyone that has, shall be given, and he shall have abundance, but from him that doesn't have shall be taken away even what he has.
 30 And throw the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, there shall be crying and gnashing of teeth.'
 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit on the throne of his glory,
 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them from each other, like a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats.
 33 And he shall set the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.
 34 Then the King shall say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world,
 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me food.  I was thirsty, and you gave me drink,  I was a stranger, and you took me in,
 36 Naked, and you clothed me, I was sick, and you visited me, I was in prison, and you came to me.'
 37 Then the righteous shall answer him, 'Lord, when did we see we you hungry, and feed you?  Or thirsty, and gave you drink?
 38 When did we see you a stranger, and took you in?  Or naked, and clothed you?
 39 Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you?'
 40 And the King shall answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, since you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you've done it to me.'
 41 Then he shall say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels,
 42 For I was hungry, and you gave me no food.  I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink,
 43 I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in, naked, and you didn't clothe me, sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
 44 Then they shall also answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?'
 45 Then he shall answer them, 'Truly I say to you, since you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'
 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous to life eternal."

___Matthew chapter 26
 1 And when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,
 2 "You know that the Feast of the Passover comes in two days, and the Son of man will be betrayed to be crucified."
 3 Then the chief priests assembled together, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
 4 And consulted how they could arrest Jesus on some technicality, and kill him.
 5 But they said, "Not on the feast day, or there might be a riot among the people."
 6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
 7 A woman came to him having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat to eat.
 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, and said, "For what purpose is this waste?
 9 'Cause this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
 10 When Jesus understood it, he said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman?  She has done a good work on me.
 11 For you have the poor with you always, but me you don't have always.
 12 For in that she has poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
 13 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told for a memorial of her."
 14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
 15 And said to them, "What will you give me, and I will deliver him to you?"  And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver.
 16 And from that time he looked for opportunity to betray him.
 17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, "Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
 18 And he said, "Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, my time is at hand, I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples."
 19 And the disciples did what Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
 20 Now when the evening had come, he sat down with the twelve.
 21 And as they ate, he said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me."
 22 And they were very sorrowful, and all of them began to say to him, "Lord, is it me?"
 23 And he answered, "He that dips his hand with me in the dish, shall betray me.
 24 The Son of man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!  It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."
 25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered, "Master, is it me?"  He said to him, "You are right."
 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat.  This is my body."
 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "All of you drink it,
 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is spilled for many for the remission of sins.
 29 But I tell you, from now on, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
 31 Then Jesus said to them, "All of you shall be offended because of me this night, 'cause it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.'
 32 But after I've risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."
 33 Peter answered him, "Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet I will never be offended."
 34 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this night, before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times."
 35 Peter said to him, "Even if I die with you, yet I won't deny you."  And all the disciples said so, too.
 36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here, while I go and pray over there."
 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
 38 Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death, wait here, and stay awake with me."
 39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, and said, "O my Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me, but not as I will, but as you will."
 40 And he came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you stay awake with me one hour?
 41 Stay awake and pray, so that you don't enter into temptation, the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your will be done."
 43 And he came and found them asleep again, 'cause their eyes were heavy.
 44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
 45 Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest, see, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man has been betrayed into the hands of sinners.
 46 Get up, let's be going, see, he is at hand that betrays me."
 47 And while he yet spoke, Judas, one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
 48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, and said, "Whomever I kiss, that's the one, hold him tightly."
 49 And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail, master," and kissed him.
 50 And Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?"  Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
 51 And, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and cut off his ear.
 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put up your sword into its place, for all of those who take the sword shall die by the sword.
 53 Do you think that I can't now pray to my Father, and he shall soon give me more than twelve legions of angels?
 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled that it must be like this?"
 55 In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out like against a thief with swords and clubs to take me?  I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and you didn't arrest me.
 56 But all this was done, so that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled."  Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
 57 And those who had taken hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
 58 But Peter followed him at a distance to the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
 59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, looked for false witness against Jesus, to put him to death,
 60 But found none, yes, though many false witnesses came, yet they found none.  At last came two false witnesses,
 61 And said, "This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days."
 62 And the high priest got up, and said to him, "Do you answer nothing?  What is it that these witness against you?"
 63 But Jesus said nothing.  And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
 64 Jesus said to him, "You are right, anyway I say to you, hereafter you'll see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
 65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy.  Why would we need any more witnesses?  See, now you've heard his blasphemy.
 66 What do you think?"  They answered, "He deserves to die."
 67 Then they spat in his face, and buffeted him, and others struck him with the palms of their hands,
 68 Saying, "Prophesy to us, you Christ, which one of us struck you?"
 69 Now Peter sat outside in the palace, and a young woman came to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee."
 70 But he denied before them all, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."
 71 And when he had gone out into the porch, another young woman saw him, and said to those who were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
 72 And again he denied with an oath, "I don't know the man."
 73 And after a while those who stood by came to him, and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, 'cause the way you talk betrays you."
 74 Then he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I don't know the man."  And immediately the rooster crowed.
 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, who said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times."  And he went out, and cried bitterly.

___Matthew chapter 27
 1 When the morning had come, all the chief priests and elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death.
 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and brought him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
 3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he had been condemned, regretted what he'd done, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
 4 Saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood."  And they said, "What is that to us?  You take care of that."
 5 And he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hung himself.
 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."
 7 And they took advice, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
 8 So that field was called, "The Field of Blood," until this day.
 9 And that fulfilled what had been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom those of the children of Israel did value,
 10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
 11 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"  And Jesus said to him, "You're right."
 12 And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear how many things they testify against you?"
 14 And he answered not a word, so that the governor was very much amazed.
 15 Now at that feast the governor usually released to the people a prisoner of their choice.
 16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
 17 Therefore when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you?  Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
 18 'Cause he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
 19 When he sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him, "Have nothing to do with that honest man, 'cause I've suffered many things today in a dream because of him."
 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
 21 The governor answered them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?"  They said, "Barabbas."
 22 Pilate said, "What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ?"  They all said to him, "Let him be crucified."
 23 And the governor said, "Why, what wrong has he done?"  But they shouted the more, "Let him be crucified."
 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a riot was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this honest person, you take care of it."
 25 Then all the people answered, "His blood be on us, and on our children."
 26 Then he released Barabbas to them, and when he had scourged Jesus, he gave the order for him to be crucified.
 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered the whole band of soldiers.
 28 And they stripped him, and put a red robe on him.
 29 And when they had woven a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a pole in his right hand, and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
 30 And they spat on him, and took the pole, and struck him on the head.
 31 And after they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon.  They made him carry the cross.
 33 And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, "a place of a skull,"
 34 They gave him vinegar to drink mixed with gall, and when he had tasted it, he wouldn't drink.
 35 And they crucified him, and divided his garments, drawing straws, so that what was spoken by the prophet would be fulfilled, "They divided my garments among them, and for my vesture they drew straws."
 36 And sitting down they watched him there,
 37 And set up over his head his accusation written, "This Is Jesus, The King of the Jews."
 38 Then there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
 39 And those who passed by made fun of him, wagging their heads,
 40 And saying, "You who destroys the temple, and builds it in three days, save yourself.  If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders said,
 42 "He saved others, he can't save himself.  If he is the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him.
 43 He trusted in God.  Let him deliver him now, if he will have him, 'cause he said, I am the Son of God."
 44 The thieves also, who were crucified with him, threw the same in his teeth.
 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus shouted with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"  That is to say, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
 47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This man is calling for Elijah."
 48 And immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a pole, and offered it to him to drink.
 49 The rest said, "Let it alone, let's see whether Elijah will come to save him."
 50 Jesus, when he had shouted again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
 51 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom, and there was an earthquake, and the rocks split,
 52 And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints who slept got up,
 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many.
 54 Now when the centurion, and those who were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, they were very afraid, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God."
 55 And many women were there watching from a distance, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,
 56 Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
 57 When the evening had come, a rich man of Arimathaea came, named Joseph, who was also was Jesus' disciple,
 58 He went to Pilate, and begged for the body of Jesus.  Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.
 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, that he had carved out in the rock, and he rolled a huge stone to the door of the tomb, and went away.
 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
 62 Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,
 63 Saying, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was still alive, 'After three days I will rise again.'
 64 Command therefore that the tomb be secured until the third day, or his disciples might come at night, and steal him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' so the last error shall be worse than the first."
 65 Pilate said to them, "You have a watch, go your way, make it as sure as you can."
 66 So they went, and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

___Matthew chapter 28
 1 In the end of the Sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came, and the other Mary to see the tomb.
 2 And, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.
 3 His facial appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow,
 4 And for fear of him the keepers shook, and became like dead men.
 5 And the angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified.
 6 He's not here, for he has risen, like he said.  Come, see the place where the Lord was laying.
 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and, see, he goes before you into Galilee, you'll see him there, see, I've told you."
 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, Jesus met them, saying, "All hail."  And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Don't be afraid.  Go tell my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they'll see me."
 11 Now when they were going, some of the watch came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave a lot of money to the soldiers,
 13 Saying, "Say that his disciples came at night, and stole him away while we slept.
 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you."
 15 So they took the money, and did like they were taught.  And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted.
 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
 19 Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
 20 Teaching them to observe all things that I've commanded you, and, see, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.  Amen."

___Mark chapter 1
 1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
 2 As it is written in the prophets, "See, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.
 3 The voice of someone crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
 4 John baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
 5 And all the land of Judea went out to him, and those of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of leather around his middle, and he ate locusts and wild honey,
 7 And preached, saying, "Someone mightier than I is coming after me, whose shoelace I'm not worthy to stoop down and untie.
 8 I indeed have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost."
 9 And in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
 10 And immediately, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending on him,
 11 And a voice came from heaven, saying, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
 12 And immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.
 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to him.
 14 Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
 15 And saying, "The time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.  Repent, and believe the gospel."
 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
 17 And Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will teach you to fish for men."
 18 And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
 19 And when he had gone a little further there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
 20 And immediately 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 immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine, 'cause he taught them like someone with authority, and not like the scribes.
 23 And there was a man with an unclean spirit in their synagogue, and he shouted,
 24 "Let us alone.  What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth?  Have you come to destroy us?  I know who your are, the Holy One of God."
 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Don't speak, 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, so much that they questioned among themselves, "What thing is this?  What new doctrine is this?  For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
 28 And immediately his fame spread around throughout all the region around Galilee.
 29 And immediately, when they had 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 was lying sick with a fever, and so they told him about her.
 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her, and she waited on them.
 32 And in the evening, they brought to him all that were diseased, and those who were possessed by devils.
 33 And all the people of the city were gathered together at the door.
 34 And he healed many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and didn't allow 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 prayed there.
 36 And Simon and those who were with him followed him.
 37 And when they had found him, they said to him, "All men are looking for you."
 38 And he said to them, "Let's go into the next towns, so I can preach there also, 'cause that's why I came out."
 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
 40 And a leper came to him, begging him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."
 41 And Jesus, moved by compassion, put out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I will, be clean."
 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was healed.
 43 And he strictly ordered him, and immediately sent him away,
 44 And said to him, "Make sure that you say nothing to anyone, but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
 45 But he went out, and began to tell everyone, and to blaze around the matter, so much that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was outside in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

___Mark chapter 2
 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days, and people heard that he was in the house.
 2 And immediately many were gathered together, so much that there was no room to receive them, no, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.
 3 And they came to him bringing someone sick of the palsy, who was carried by four people.
 4 And when they could not come near him because of the many people, they uncovered the roof where he was, and after they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the sick of the palsy was lying.
 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man with palsy, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
 7 "Why does this man thus speak blasphemies?  Who can forgive sins except God?"
 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned like that inside themselves, he said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
 9 Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, and take up your bed, and walk?'
 10 But so that you will know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (he said to the man sick of palsy,)
 11 I say to you, get up, and pick up your bed, and go to your house."
 12 And immediately he got up, picked up the bed, and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw it like this.
 13 And he went out again by the sea side, and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.
 14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting and collecting taxes, and said to him, "Follow me."  And he got up and followed him.
 15 And as Jesus sat to eat in his house, many tax collectors 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 tax collectors and sinners, they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
 17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well don't need a doctor, but those who are sick.  I didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
 18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast, and they came and said to him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"
 19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast, while the bridegroom is with them?  While they have the bridegroom with them, they can't fast.
 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they'll fast in those days.
 21 No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment, otherwise the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the tear gets worse.
 22 And no man puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined, but new wine must be put into new wineskins."
 23 And when 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 to him, "See, why are they doing on the Sabbath day what is not lawful?"
 25 And he said to them, "Haven't you ever read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and those who were with him?
 26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which it's not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"
 27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath day was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath day,
 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day."

___Mark chapter 3
 1 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, so that they could accuse him.
 3 And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Step forward."
 4 And he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil?  To save life, or to kill?"  But they said nothing.
 5 And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."  And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored normal like the other one.
 6 And the Pharisees went out, and immediately consulted with the Herodians against him, how they could destroy him.
 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,
 8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan, and those around Tyre and Zidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came to him.
 9 And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, so that they wouldn't mob him.
 10 For he had healed many, so that they pressed on him to touch him, as many as had diseases.
 11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and called out, saying, "You are the Son of God."
 12 And he strictly charged them to not make him known.
 13 And he went up into a mountain, and called to him the ones he chose, and they came to him.
 14 And he ordained twelve, to be with him, and so he could send them out 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, who also betrayed him, and they went into a house.
 20 And the multitude came together again, so that they couldn't even 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 who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils he casts out devils."
 23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?
 24 And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom can't stand.
 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house can't stand.
 26 And if Satan rises up against himself, and is divided, he can't stand, but has an end.
 27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, unless he first ties up the strong man, and then he will spoil his house.
 28 Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which they blaspheme,
 29 But he that blasphemes against the Holy Ghost won't be forgiven, but is in danger of eternal damnation,"
 30 Because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
 31 Then his brothers and his mother came, and standing outside, sent to him, calling him.
 32 And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, "See, your mother and your brothers outside are looking for you."
 33 And he answered them, "Who is my mother, or my brothers?"
 34 And he looked around at those sitting around him, and said, "Look at my mother and my brothers!
 35 For whoever shall do the will of God is my brother, and my sister, and mother."

___Mark chapter 4
 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side, and a great multitude gathered to him, so that he entered into a ship, and sat on the sea, and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his doctrine,
 3 "Listen, a planter went out to plant.
 4 And as he planted, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and devoured it.
 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it didn't have much earth, and immediately it sprang up, because it was in shallow 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 yielded fruit that sprang up and increased, and produced, some thirty fold, and some sixty fold, and some a hundredfold.
 9 And he said to them, he that has ears to hear, let him hear."
 10 And when he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parable.
 11 And he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all these things are done in parables,
 12 So that seeing they will see, but not perceive, and hearing they will hear, and not understand, so they won't be converted, and have their sins forgiven."
 13 And he said to them, "Don't you know this parable?  And how then will you know all parables?
 14 The planter plants the word.
 15 And these are the ones by the way side, where the word is planted, but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was planted in their hearts.
 16 And these are the ones also who are planted on stony ground, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness,
 17 But have no root in themselves, and so endure briefly.  Afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
 18 And these are the ones that are planted 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 becomes unfruitful.
 20 And these are the ones who are planted on good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty fold, and some a hundredfold."
 21 And he said to 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 nothing is hidden, that won't be made clear, nor was anything kept secret, but that it will come out.
 23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
 24 And he said to them, "Be careful what you hear, with what measure you measure out, it shall be measured back to you, and to you that hear shall more be given.
 25 For he that has, to him it shall be given, and he that doesn't have, from him shall be taken even what he has."
 26 And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should throw seed into the ground,
 27 And sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he doesn't know how.
 28 For the earth produces fruit by itself, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
 29 But when the fruit has been produced, immediately he uses the cutting tool, because the harvest has come."
 30 And he said, "To what 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 has been planted in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth,
 32 But when it has been planted, it grows up, and becomes greater than all plants, and shoots out large branches, so that the fowls of the air can lodge under the shadow of it."
 33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
 34 But without a parable he didn't speak to them, and when they were alone, he explained all things to his disciples.
 35 And the same day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let's go over to 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 a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
 38 And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow, and they awoke him, and said to him, "Master, don't you care that we're dying?"
 39 And he got up, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still."  And the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
 40 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid?  How is it that you have no faith?"
 41 And they were quite afraid, and said to each other, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

___Mark chapter 5
 1 And they went over to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
 2 And when he had come out of the ship, immediately a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him,
 3 Who lived among the tombs.  And no man could bind him, no, not with chains,
 4 Because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and he had pulled the chains and fetters in pieces, nor 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 far off, he ran and worshipped him,
 7 And shouted with a loud voice, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the most high God?  I ask you in the name of God not to torment me."
 8 For he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit."
 9 And he asked him, "What is your name?"  And he answered, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
 10 And he begged him much not to send them away out of the country.
 11 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there near the mountains.
 12 And all the devils asked him, "Send us to enter into the pigs."
 13 And immediately Jesus gave them permission.  And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the pigs, and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (there were about two thousand,) and were drowned in the sea.
 14 And those who fed the pigs fled, and told it in the city, and in the country.  And they went out to see what had happened.
 15 And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed by the devil, and had had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid.
 16 And those who saw it told them what happened to the man that had been possessed by the devil, and also about the pigs.
 17 And they began to ask him to depart out of their coasts.
 18 And when he had come into the ship, he that had been possessed by the devil asked him if he could be with him.
 19 But Jesus wouldn't allow it, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you."
 20 And he departed, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him, and all men were amazed.
 21 And when Jesus had passed over again by ship to the other side, many people gathered to him, and he was near the sea.
 22 And Jairus, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
 23 And begged him greatly, "My little daughter lies at the point of death, please, come and lay your hands on her so that she'll be healed, and she'll live."
 24 And Jesus went with him, and many people followed him, and crowded around him.
 25 And a certain woman, who had been bleeding for twelve years,
 26 And had endured many things from many doctors, and had spent all that she had, and didn't get any better, but rather grew worse,
 27 When she had heard about Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
 28 For she said, "If I can just touch his clothes, I'll be healed."
 29 And immediately she stopped bleeding, and she felt in her body that she was healed from that disease.
 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned around in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
 31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the multitude crowding you, and you say, Who touched me?"
 32 And he looked around to see the woman that had touched him.
 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
 34 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well, go in peace, and be well from your disease."
 35 While he yet spoke, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Master any further?"
 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that had been spoken, he said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
 37 And he allowed no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
 38 And he came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw the commotion, and those who cried and wailed a lot.
 39 And when he had come in, he said to them, "Why do you make this fuss, and cry?  The girl isn't dead, but sleeping."
 40 And they laughed at him scornfully.  But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the girl, and those who were with him, and entered in where the girl was lying.
 41 And he took the girl by the hand, and said to her, "Talitha cumi," which is, being interpreted, "Girl, I say to you, get up."
 42 And immediately the girl got up, and walked, for she was twelve years old.  And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
 43 And he strictly ordered them that no man should know it, and commanded to give her some food.

___Mark chapter 6
 1 And he went out from there, and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
 2 And when the Sabbath day had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "From where does this man get these things?  And what wisdom is this that has been given him, that such mighty works are done by his hands?
 3 Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon?  And aren't his sisters here with us?  And they were offended at him."
 4 But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
 5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick folk, and healed them.
 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.  And he went around the villages, teaching.
 7 And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits,
 8 And commanded them to take nothing for their journey except only a staff, no paper money, no bread, no money in their wallet,
 9 But have sandals on their feet, and not put on two coats.
 10 And he said to them, "In whatever place you enter into a house, stay at the same house until you depart from that place."
 11 And whoever won't receive you, nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.  Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah 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 about him, (for his name was spread around,) and he said that John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works are being done by him.
 15 Others said that it's Elijah.  And others said that it's a prophet, or like one of the prophets.
 16 But when Herod heard about him, he said, "It's John, whom I beheaded, he has risen from the dead."
 17 For Herod himself had sent out and taken hold on John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.
 18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
 19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him, but she couldn't,
 20 For Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and observed him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
 21 And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his lords, high captains, and main men of Galilee,
 22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
 23 And he promised her, "Whatever you ask me for, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom."
 24 And she went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?"  And she said, "The head of John the Baptist."
 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, "I want you to give me soon in a container, the head of John the Baptist."
 26 And the king was very sorry, yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who 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 container, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
 29 And when his disciples heard about it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
 30 And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him everything they had done and taught.
 31 And he said to them, "Come apart into a desert place, and rest a while," for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure even 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 on foot there out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together to him.
 34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
 35 And when the day was far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, "This is a desert place, and now it's getting late,
 36 Send them away, so they can go into the country around here, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."
 37 He answered them, "You give them food."  And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred penny's worth of bread, and give it to them?"
 38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have?  Go and see."  And when they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
 39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by groups on 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 fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fish he divided among them all.
 42 And they all ate, and were full.
 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the pieces, and of the fish.
 44 And those who ate of the loaves were about five thousand men.
 45 And immediately he sent his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent the people away.
 46 And when he had sent them away, he went into a mountain to pray.
 47 And when evening had come, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land.
 48 And he saw them working hard at rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, and about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed by them.
 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a spirit, and shouted out,
 50 For they all saw him, and were troubled.  And immediately he talked with them, and said to them, "Be of good cheer, it is I, don't be afraid."
 51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind stopped, and they were extremely amazed in themselves, and wondered.
 52 For they didn't consider 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 came near the shore.
 54 And when they had come out of the ship, immediately they knew him,
 55 And ran through that whole region around there, and began to carry around in beds those who were sick, where they heard he was.
 56 And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and asked him if they could touch even the border of his garment, and as many as touched him were healed.

___Mark chapter 7
 1 Then the Pharisees came together to him, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem.
 2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands often, holding the tradition of the elders.
 4 And when they come from the market, unless they wash, they don't eat.  And many other things there are, that they have received to keep, like the washing of cups, and pots, brass pots, and of tables.
 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"
 6 He answered them, "Well has Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, 'These people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
 7 But in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.'
 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, like the washing of pots and cups, and you do many other such similar things."
 9 And he said to them, "Full well you reject the commandment of God, so you can keep your own tradition.
 10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and mother, and whoever curses father or mother, let him die the death,'
 11 But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is Corban,' that is to say, 'It is given to God what I would have given you,' he shall be free.
 12 And you allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother,
 13 Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition, that you've delivered, and you do many other things like that."
 14 And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, "Listen to me every one of you, and understand,
 15 There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him, but the things that come out of him are what defiles the man.
 16 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
 17 And when he had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
 18 And he said to them, "Are you so much lacking understanding also?  Don't you see that whatever thing from outside enters into the man, it can't defile him,
 19 Because it doesn't enter into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the toilet, purging all foods?"
 20 And he said, "That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
 21 For from inside, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lust, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness,
 23 All these evil things come from inside, and defile the man."
 24 And from there he got up, and went into the borders of Tyre and Zidon, and entered into a house, and didn't want people to know it, but he couldn't be hidden.
 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard about him, and came and fell at his feet.
 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she asked him to cast the devil out of her daughter.
 27 But Jesus said to her, "Let the children first be filled, for it's not right to take the children's bread, and to throw it to the dogs."
 28 And she answered him, "Yes Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs."
 29 And he said to her, "For this saying go your way, the devil has gone out of your daughter."
 30 And when she arrived at her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
 31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Zidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the coasts of Decapolis.
 32 And they brought to him a deaf person, who had an impediment in his speech, and they asked him to put his hand on 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 said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."
 35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
 36 And he ordered them to tell no man, but the more he ordered them, so much the more, a great deal, they told it,
 37 And were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well, he makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."

___Mark chapter 8
 1 In those days the multitude being very numerous, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said to 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 houses, they'll faint on the way, for some of them came from far."
 4 And his disciples answered him, "How can we satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?"
 5 And he asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"  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 broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the people.
 7 And they had a few small fish, and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
 8 So they ate, and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets.
 9 And those who had eaten were about four thousand, and he sent them away.
 10 And immediately he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
 11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign?  Truly I say to you, there shall no sign be given to 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, nor did they have in the ship with them more than one loaf.
 15 And he commanded them, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
 16 And they reasoned among themselves, "It is because we have no bread."
 17 And when Jesus knew it, he said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread?  Don't you yet perceive, nor understand?  Do you still have your heart hardened?
 18 Having eyes, do you not see?  And having ears, do you not hear?  And don't you remember?
 19 When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?"  They said, "Twelve."
 20 "And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?"  And they said, "Seven."
 21 And he said to them, "How is it that you don't understand?"
 22 And he came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blind man to him, and asked 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 on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
 24 And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking."
 25 After that he put his hands again on 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, "Whom do men say that I am?"
 28 And they answered, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah, and others, one of the prophets."
 29 And he said to them, "But whom do you say that I am?"  And Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
 30 And he commanded them to tell no man about him.
 31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
 32 And he spoke that saying openly.  And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
 33 But when he had turned around and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, for you don't savor the things that are of God, but the things that are of men."
 34 And when he had called the people to him with his disciples also, he said to them, "Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
 35 For whoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's 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 Whoever 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 comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

___Mark chapter 9
 1 And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, that there are some of those who stand here, that won't taste of death, until they've seen the kingdom of God come with power."
 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John, and led them up into a high mountain apart by themselves, and his appearance was changed before them.
 3 And his clothes became shining, very white like snow, like no bleach on earth could whiten them.
 4 And Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
 5 And Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here, and let's make three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
 6 For he didn't know what to say, for they were very afraid.
 7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, listen to him."
 8 And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man anymore, except Jesus and themselves.
 9 And as they came down from the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man the things they had seen, until the Son of man had risen from the dead.
 10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning with each other what the rising from the dead meant.
 11 And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
 12 And he answered, "Elijah truly does come first, and restores all things, and how it is written about the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be rejected.
 13 But I say to you, that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wanted, as it is written about him."
 14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and the scribes questioning with them.
 15 And immediately all the people, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
 16 And he asked the scribes, "What are you asking them about?"
 17 And one of the multitude answered, "Master, I have brought to you my son, who has a spirit that keeps him from speaking,
 18 And wherever he takes him, he tears him, and he foams at the mouth, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away, and I spoke to your disciples to cast him out, and they couldn't."
 19 He answered him, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?  How long shall I endure you?  Bring him to me."
 20 And they brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him, and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
 21 And he asked his father, "How long ago did this come to him?"  And he said, "Since he was a child.
 22 And it has often thrown him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him, but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."
 23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes."
 24 And immediately the father of the child shouted, and said with tears, "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief."
 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and don't enter into him anymore."
 26 And the spirit shouted, and tore him severely, and came out of him, and he was like someone dead, and many said, "He is dead."
 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up, and he got up.
 28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we cast him out?"
 29 And he said to them, "This kind comes out only by prayer and fasting."
 30 And they departed from there, and passed through Galilee, and he didn't want anyone to know it.
 31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they'll kill him, and after he's been killed, he'll rise the third day."
 32 But they didn't understand 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 you disputed among yourselves on the way?"
 34 But they didn't answer, for on the way they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.
 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them, "If any man desires to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."
 36 And he took a child, and set him in the middle of them, and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,
 37 "Whoever receives one of such children in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him that sent me."
 38 And John answered him, "Master, we saw someone casting out devils in your name, and he didn't follow us, and we told him to stop, because he's not following us."
 39 But Jesus said, "Don't tell him to stop, for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can casually speak evil about me.
 40 For he that is not against us is on our side.
 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to Christ, truly I say to you, he won't lose his reward.
 42 And whoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it's  better for him that a millstone were hung around his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.
 43 And if your hand offends you, cut it off, it's better for you to enter into life with one hand, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched,
 44 Where their worms don't die, and the fire is not quenched.
 45 And if your foot offends you, cut it off,  it's better for you to enter with one foot into life, than having two feet to be thrown into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched,
 46 Where their worms don't die, and the fire is not quenched.
 47 And if your eye offends you, pluck it out, it's better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be thrown into hell's fire,
 48 Where their worms don't die, and the fire is not quenched.
 49 For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will you flavor it?  Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with each other."

___Mark chapter 10
 1 And he got up from there, and went into the coasts of Judea by the far side of Jordan, and the people resorted to him again, and as he usually did, he taught them again.
 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?," tempting him.
 3 And he answered them, "What did Moses command you?"
 4 And they said, "Moses allowed to write divorce papers, and to put her away."
 5 And Jesus answered them, "For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this principle.
 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
 7 For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and stick with his wife,
 8 And the two of them shall be one flesh, so then they are no more two, but one flesh.
 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate."
 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
 11 And he said to them, "Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
 12 And if a woman puts away her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."
 13 And they brought young children to him, so he would touch them, and his disciples found fault with those who brought them.
 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was quite displeased, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me, and don't forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
 15 Truly I say to you, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he shall not enter into it."
 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them.
 17 And when he had gone out into the road, someone came running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do so I can inherit eternal life?"
 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good?  No one is good except one, and that's God.
 19 You know the commandments, Don't commit adultery, Don't kill, Don't steal, Don't lie, Don't covet, Honor your father and mother."
 20 And he answered, "Master, I've observed all these since my youth."
 21 Then Jesus seeing him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack, go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you'll have treasure in heaven, and come, take up the cross, and follow me."
 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved, for he had great possessions.
 23 And Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words.  But Jesus answered, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
 26 And they were extremely astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"
 27 And Jesus looking at them said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible."
 28 Then Peter began to say to him, "See, we've left all, and have followed you."
 29 And Jesus answered, "Truly I say to you, there is no man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
 30 But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.
 31 But many that are first shall be last, and the last first."
 32 And they were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them, and they were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid.  And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things would happen to him,
 33 Saying, "See, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they'll condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles,
 34 And they'll mock him, and scourge him, and shall spit on him, and shall kill him, and the third day he'll rise again."
 35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, saying, "Master, we want you to do for us whatever we desire."
 36 And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
 37 They said to him, "Grant that we may sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."
 38 But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you're asking, can you drink of the cup that I drink of?  And be baptized with the baptism that I'm baptized with?"
 39 And they said to him, "We can."  And Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, you shall be baptized,
 40 But to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but it shall be given to those for whom it has been prepared."
 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be quite displeased with James and John.
 42 But Jesus called them to him, and said to them, "You know that those who are assigned to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them.  And their great ones exercise authority on them.
 43 But it won't be like that among you, but whoever wants to be great among you, shall be your minister,
 44 And whoever of you wants be the chief, shall be servant of all.
 45 For even the Son of man didn't come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
 46 And they came to Jericho, and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, and say, "Jesus, you Son of David, have mercy on me."
 48 And many told him to be quiet, but he shouted the more a great deal, "You Son of David, have mercy on me."
 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.  And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good comfort, get up, he's calling you."
 50 And he, throwing away his garment, got up, and came to Jesus.
 51 And Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?"  The blind man said to him, "Lord, I want to receive my sight."
 52 And Jesus said to him, "Go your way, your faith has made you well."  And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the way.

___Mark chapter 11
 1 And when they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
 2 And said to them, "Go your way into the village opposite you, and as soon as you've entered into it, you'll find a colt tied, on which man never sat, loose him, and bring him.
 3 And if any man says to you, 'Why are you doing this?,' say that the Lord needs him, and immediately he will send him here."
 4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside in a place where two roads met, and they loosed him.
 5 And certain of those who stood there said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"
 6 And they told them what Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.
 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on him, and he sat on him.
 8 And many spread their garments in the road, and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them on the road.
 9 And those who went before, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord.  Hosanna in the highest."
 11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and when he had looked around at everything, and now the evening had come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
 12 And on the next day, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry.
 13 And seeing a fig tree far off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet.
 14 And Jesus responded and said to it, "No man eat fruit of you from now on, forever."  And his disciples heard it.
 15 And they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves,
 16 And would not allow any man to carry any container through the temple.
 17 And he taught them, "Is it not written, my house shall be called by all nations the house of prayer?  But you have made it a den of thieves."
 18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and tried to find a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.
 19 And when evening had come, he went out of the city.
 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
 21 And Peter, remembering, said to him, "Master, see, the fig tree that you cursed has withered away."
 22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
 23 For truly I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be removed, and be thrown into the sea, and doesn't doubt in his heart, but believes that the things that he says shall happen, he shall have whatever he says.
 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
 25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven will forgive your trespasses.
 26 But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
 27 And they came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
 28 And said to him, "By what authority do you do these things?  And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
 29 And Jesus answered them, "I will also ask you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?  Answer me."
 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why didn't you believe him?'
 32 But if we say, Of men," they feared the people, for all men counted John, that he was certainly a prophet.
 33 And they answered Jesus, "We can't tell.  And Jesus answered them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."

___Mark chapter 12
 1 And he began to speak to them by parables.  "A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a place for the wine vat, and built a tower, and rented it to vineyard keepers, and went into a far country.
 2 And at the season he sent to the vineyard keepers a servant, to collect from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
 3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
 4 And again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
 6 Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
 7 But those vineyard keepers said among themselves, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
 8 And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do?  He will come and destroy the vineyard keepers, and will give the vineyard to others.
 10 And haven't you read this scripture, The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,
 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?"
 12 And they wanted to arrest him, but feared the people, for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them, and they left him, and went their way.
 13 And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
 14 And when they had come, they said to him, "Master, we know that you are true, and care for no man, for you don't regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth.  Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?"  But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why do you tempt me?  Bring me a penny, so I can see it."
 16 And they brought it.  And he said to them, "Whose is this image and writing?"  And they said to him, "Caesar's."
 17 And Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."  And they were amazed at him.
 18 Then the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and they asked him,
 19 "Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother dies, and leaves his wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children to his brother.
 20 Now there were seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying left no children.
 21 And the second took her, and died, nor did he leave any children, and the third likewise.
 22 And the seven had her, and left no children, last of all the woman died also.
 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, which of them will have her as wife?  For all seven had her as wife."
 24 And Jesus answered them, "Aren't you therefore making a mistake, because you don't know the scriptures, nor the power of God?
 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels who are in heaven.
 26 And concerning the dead, that they rise, haven't you read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living, therefore you've made a big mistake."
 28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"
 29 And Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,
 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength,' this is the first commandment.
 31 And the second is like it, namely this, 'You shall love your neighbor like yourself.'  There is no other commandment greater than these."
 32 And the scribe said to him, "Well, Master, you've said the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but he.
 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor like himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God."  And no man after that dared ask him any question.
 35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, "How can the scribes say that Christ is the Son of David?
 36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.'
 37 David therefore himself calls him Lord, and how is he then his son?"  And the common people heard him gladly.
 38 And he said to them in his doctrine, "Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothes, and love greetings in the marketplaces,
 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts,
 40 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers, these shall receive greater damnation."
 41 And Jesus sat opposite the treasury, and watched how the people threw money into the treasury, and many that were rich threw in much.
 42 And a certain poor widow came, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
 43 And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has thrown in more than all of those who have thrown into the treasury,
 44 For all of them threw in from their abundance, but she in her poverty has thrown in all that she had, all her living.

___Mark chapter 13
 1 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, look at what kind of stones and what buildings are here!"
 2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these large buildings?  Not one stone will be left on another that won't be thrown down."
 3 And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,
 4 "Tell us, when shall these things be?  And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?"
 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, "Be careful that no man deceives you,
 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, 'I am Christ,' and shall deceive many.
 7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, don't be troubled, for such things must happen, but the end won't be yet.
 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be famines and troubles, these are the beginnings of sorrows.
 9 But be careful about yourselves, for they'll deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you'll be beaten, and you'll brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
 11 But when they lead you, and deliver you up, don't think about what you'll say beforehand, but whatever is given you in that hour, say that, for it is not you that speaks, but the Holy Ghost.
 12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son, and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
 13 And you'll hated by all men for my name's sake, but he that endures to the end, shall be saved.
 14 But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that reads understand,) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
 15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter into it to take anything out of his house,
 16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again to get his garment.
 17 But woe to those who are with child, and to those who are breast feeding babies in those days!
 18 And pray that your flight is not in the winter.
 19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation that God created up 'til now, nor shall be.
 20 And unless the Lord shortens those days, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake, whom he has chosen, he has shortened the days.
 21 And then if any man says to you, 'See, here is Christ,' or, 'see, he is there,' don't believe him,
 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, even the elect.
 23 But be careful, see, I have foretold you everything.
 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light,
 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
 26 And then they'll see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
 27 And then he'll send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.
 28 Now learn a parable from the fig tree, When its branch is yet tender, and puts out leaves, you know that summer is near.
 29 Likewise, when you see these things happen, know that it's near, even at the door.
 30 Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, until all these things have happened.
 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
 32 But about that day and that hour, no man knows, no, not the angels that are in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
 33 Be careful, stay awake and pray, for you don't know when the time is.
 34 For the Son of man is like a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to stay awake.
 35 Stay awake therefore, for you don't know when the master of the house is coming, at evening, or at midnight, or at the rooster's crowing, or in the morning,
 36 So that coming suddenly he doesn't find you sleeping.
 37 And what I say to you I say to all, stay awake."

___Mark chapter 14
 1 After two days was the feast of the Passover, and of unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes looked for a way to take him by craft, and put him to death.
 2 But they said, "Not on the feast day, so there won't be a riot by the people."
 3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat to eat, a woman came having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious, and she broke the box, and poured it on his head.
 4 And there were some who disapproved, and said, "Why was this ointment wasted?
 5 For it could have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor."  And they murmured against her.
 6 And Jesus said, "Let her alone, why do you trouble her?  She's done a good thing to me.
 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you want you can do them good, but me you don't have always.
 8 She has done what she could, she has come beforehand to anoint my body for burying.
 9 Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken about for a memorial of her."
 10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to help them arrest him.
 11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money.  And he looked for a convenient way to betray him.
 12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare so you can eat the Passover?"
 13 And he sent out two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water, follow him.
 14 And wherever he goes in, say to the householder, 'The Master says, where is the guest room, where I'll eat the Passover with my disciples?'
 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared, there make ready for us."
 16 And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
 17 And in the evening he went with the twelve.
 18 And as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, one of you that eats with me shall betray me."
 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?"  And another said, "Is it I?"
 20 And he answered them, "It is one of the twelve, that dips with me in the dish.
 21 The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man gets betrayed!  It would have been better for that man if he had never been born."
 22 And as they ate, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body."
 23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
 24 And he said to them, "This is my blood of the new testament, that is shed for many.
 25 Truly I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
 26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
 27 And Jesus said to them, "All of you shall be offended because of me tonight, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.'
 28 But after I've risen, I will go before you into Galilee."
 29 But Peter said to him, "Although all shall be offended, I won't."
 30 And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this day, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times."
 31 But he spoke more strongly, "If I would die with you, I won't deny you in any way."  Likewise also said all of them.
 32 And they came to a place that was named Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be very amazed, and to be very heavy,
 34 And said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful like close to death, wait here, and stay awake."
 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if possible, the hour would go away from him.
 36 And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you, take away this cup from me, nevertheless not what I want, but what you want."
 37 And he came, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping?  Couldn't you stay awake for one hour?
 38 Stay awake and pray, so you don't enter into temptation.  The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak."
 39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spoke the same words.
 40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they didn't know what to answer him.
 41 And he came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest, it is enough, the hour has come.  See, the Son of man has been betrayed into the hands of sinners.
 42 Rise up, let us go, he that betrays me is here."
 43 And immediately, while he yet spoke, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
 44 And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, that's the one, take him, and lead him away securely."
 45 And as soon as he had come, he went directly to him, and said, "Master, master, and kissed him."
 46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
 47 And one of those who stood by pulled out a sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
 48 And Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, like against a thief, with swords and with clubs to take me?
 49 I was with you daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me, but the scriptures must be fulfilled."
 50 And they all left him, and ran away.
 51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around his otherwise naked body, and the young men took hold of him,
 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
 53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
 54 And Peter followed him at a distance, into the palace of the high priest, and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
 55 And the chief priests and all the council looked for a witness against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
 56 For many gave false testimony against him, but their testimonies didn't agree with each other's.
 57 And some arose, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
 58 "We heard him say, I'll destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I'll build another made without hands."
 59 But still their testimonies didn't agree.
 60 And the high priest stood up among them, and asked Jesus, "Don't you answer?  What is it which these witness against you?"
 61 But he remained silent, and answered nothing.  Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
 62 And Jesus said, "I am, and you'll see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
 63 Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, "Why would we need any more witnesses?
 64 You've heard the blasphemy, what do you think?"  And they all condemned him to be deserving to die.
 65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, "Prophesy," and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.
 66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, one of the maids of the high priest came,
 67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, "And you also were with Jesus of Nazareth."
 68 But he denied, and said, "I don't know, nor do I understand what you're saying."  And he went out into the porch, and the rooster crowed.
 69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to those who stood by, "This is one of them."
 70 And he denied it again.  And a little afterward, those who stood by said also to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and you talk like one."
 71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I don't know this man about whom you're speaking."
 72 And the second time the rooster crowed.  And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times."  And when he thought about it, he cried.

___Mark chapter 15
 1 And immediately in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and handcuffed Jesus, and carried him away, and turned him over to Pilate.
 2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"  And he answered him, "You say it."
 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things, but he answered nothing.
 4 And Pilate asked him again, "Don't you answer?  Look at how many things they testify against you."
 5 But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate was amazed.
 6 Now at that feast he released to them one prisoner, of their choice.
 7 And there was one named Barabbas, who lay tied up with those who had made rebellion with him, who had committed murder in the rebellion.
 8 And the multitude shouting out, began to desire him to do like he had always done with them.
 9 But Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
 10 For he knew that the chief priests had arrested him for envy.
 11 But the chief priests moved the people, to instead release Barabbas to them.
 12 And Pilate answered and said again to them, "What do you want me to do with him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
 13 And they shouted out again, "Crucify him."
 14 Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?"  And they shouted even stronger, "Crucify him."
 15 And so Pilate, wanting to satisfy the people, released Barabbas to them, and delivered Jesus, after he had scourged him, to be crucified.
 16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium, and they called together the whole band of soldiers.
 17 And they dressed him in purple, and wove a crown of thorns, and put it on his head,
 18 And began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
 19 And they struck him on the head with a pole, and spat on him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
 20 And after they'd mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
 21 And they forced Simon, a Cyrenian who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
 22 And they brought him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull.
 23 And they gave him wine to drink mixed with myrrh, but he wouldn't drink it.
 24 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments, drawing straws for them, what every man would get.
 25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
 26 And the writing of his accusation was written over him, "The King of the Jews."
 27 And with him they crucified two thieves, one at his right hand, and the other at his left.
 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, that says, "And he was counted with the criminals."
 29 And those who passed by belittled him, shaking their heads, and saying, "Ah, you who destroys the temple, and builds it in three days,
 30 Save yourself, and come down from the cross."
 31 Likewise also the chief priests made fun of him, and said among themselves with the scribes, "He saved others, he can't save himself.
 32 Let Christ the King of Israel come down now from the cross, so we can see and believe."  And those who were crucified with him said nasty things to him.
 33 And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"  Which is, being interpreted, "My God, my God, why have you gone from me?"
 35 And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, "See, he's calling Elijah."
 36 And someone ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a pole, and offered him drink, saying, "Let it be, let's see whether Elijah will come to take him down."
 37 And Jesus shouted with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
 38 And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
 39 And when the centurion, who stood opposite him, saw that he shouted like that, and yielded up the spirit, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God."
 40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
 41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
 42 And now when the evening had come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath,
 43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counselor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and desired the body of Jesus.
 44 And Pilate was amazed if he were already dead, and calling to himself the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
 45 And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
 46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.
 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where they laid his body.

___Mark chapter 16
 1 And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, so they could come and apply them to his body.
 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came to the tomb at sunrise.
 3 And they said among themselves, "Who'll roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb for us?"
 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was already rolled away, for it was very large.
 5 And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right side, clothed in a long white garment, and they were afraid.
 6 And he said to them, "Don't be afraid, you're looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.  He has risen, he is not here, look at the place where they laid him.
 7 But be on your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he's going before you into Galilee, you'll see him there, as he said to you."
 8 And they went out quickly, and ran from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed, nor did they say anything to any man, for they were afraid.
 9 Now when Jesus had risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
 10 And she went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and cried.
 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, didn't believe it.
 12 After that he appeared in another form to two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
 13 And they went and told it to the others, and they didn't believe them.
 14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they sat to eat, and chided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn't believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
 15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
 16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that doesn't believe shall be damned.
 17 And these signs shall follow those who believe, in my name they'll cast out devils, they'll speak with new languages,
 18 They shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it won't hurt them.  They shall lay hands on the sick, and they'll recover.
 19 So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
 20 And they went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.  Amen.
