But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, “Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.”

And the Pharisees said unto him, “Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?”

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, “Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?”

“But if ye had known what this meaneth, ‘I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,’ ye would not have condemned the guiltless.”

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered.

And they asked him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days?” that they might accuse him.

“How much then is a man better than a sheep?”

And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, ‘Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.’

‘He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.’

‘And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.’

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered again into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

And he arose and stood forth.

But they held their peace.

And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, “Thou art the Son of God.”

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, ‘He is beside himself.’

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

“Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.”

“Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.”

“Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven.”

“But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.”

Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak.

And he delivered him to his mother.

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

When the men were come unto him, they said, “John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, ‘Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?’”

And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

“But what went ye out for to see?”

“A prophet?”

“Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.”

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

Then one said unto him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.”

And it was told him by certain which said, “Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.”

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, “Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.”

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

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. So they launched forth.

And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him. So when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: And besought him greatly, saying, “My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.” For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying.

While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, “Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?”

And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

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

But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years.

And her parents were astonished: And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.

For John said unto him, ‘It is not lawful for thee to have her.’

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, “Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.”

And he sware unto her, “Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.”

And she went forth, and said unto her mother, “What shall I ask?”

And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

And she, being before instructed of her mother, came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, “I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.”

And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her, and he commanded it to be given her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

And when Jesus was come into his own country, And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that many hearing him were astonished, and said, “From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?”

“Is not this the carpenter, the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?”

“Whence then hath this man all these things?”

And they were offended in him.

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

And he marvelled because of their unbelief.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, And said unto his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.”

And Jesus went round about the villages, teaching.

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

But when Herod heard thereof, he said, “It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.”

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead; And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

And Herod said, “John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things?”

And he desired to see him.
