1
And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him.
2
And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
3
But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
4
But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
5
And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judæa and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
6
And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
7
And not finding by what
8
way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
9
And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
10
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
11
But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
12
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
13
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.
14
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
15
And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
16
And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me.
17
And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.
18
And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them.
19
And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
20
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick.
21
I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
22
And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the
23
disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
24
And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
25
But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days.
26
And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.
27
And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
28
But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
29
And no man having drunk old
30
wine desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
31
Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
32
But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?
33
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;
34
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
35
And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
36
And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
37
And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.
38
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
39
And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?
40
And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did
41
so: and his hand was restored.
42
But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
43
And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
44
And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:
45
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
46
and Matthew and Thomas, and James
47
the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
48
and Judas
49
the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;
50
and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judæa and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
51
and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
52
And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed
53
them all.
54
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
55
are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
56
Blessed

1
And it came to pass afterwards that he went through [the country] city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom ofGod; and the twelve [were] with him,
2
and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3
and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
4
And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:
5
The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;
6
and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;
7
and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with [it] choked it;
8
and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9
And his disciples asked him [saying], What may this parable be?
10
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom ofGod, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11
But the parable is this: The seed is the word ofGod.
12
But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.
13
But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away.
14
But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15
But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
17
For there is nothing hid which shall not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.
18
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given, and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19
And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd.
20
And it was told him [saying], Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.
21
But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word ofGod and do [it].
22
And it came to pass on one of the days, that he entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.
23
And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled [with water], and were in danger;
24
and coming to [him] they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26
And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27
And as he got out [of the ship] on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs.
28
But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most HighGod? I beseech thee torment me not.
29
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30
And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.
31
And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit.
32
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.
33
And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.
34
But they that fed [them], seeing what had happened, fled, and told [it] to the city and to the country.
35
And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.
36
And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.
37
And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and he, entering into the ship, returned.
38
But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39
Return to thine house and relate how great thingsGod has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him.
40
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him.
41
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was [a] ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,
42
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.
43
And a woman who had a flux of blood since twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, could not be cured by any one,
44
coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped.
45
And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?
46
And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for I have known that power has gone out from me.
47
And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.
48
And he said to her, [Be of good courage,] daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.
49
While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.
50
But Jesus, hearing it, answered him saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made well.
51
And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother.
52
And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.
53
And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54
But he, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise.
55
And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded [something] to eat to be given to her.
56
And her parents were amazed; but he enjoined them to tell no one what had happened.

1
Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei: et duodecim cum illo,
2
et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis, et infirmatibus: Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant,
3
et Ioanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.
4
Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:
5
Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum: et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud.
6
Et aliud cecidit supra petrum: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.
7
Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud.
8
Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
9
Interrogabant autem eum discipuli eius, quæ esset hæc parabola.
10
Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.
11
Est autem hæc parabola: Semen est verbum Dei.
12
Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.
13
Nam qui supra petram: qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.
14
Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt, qui audierunt, et a solicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.
15
Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt, qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.
16
Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit: sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.
17
Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur: nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.
18
Videte ergo quomodo audiatis? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.
19
Venerunt autem ad illum mater, et fratres eius, et non poterant adire eum præ turba.
20
Et nunciatum est illi: Mater tua, et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.
21
Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: Mater mea, et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt, et faciunt.
22
Factum est autem in una dierum: et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli eius, et ait ad illos: Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.
23
Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.
24
Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit: et facta est tranquillitas.
25
Dixit autem illis: Ubi est fides vestra? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?
26
Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam.
27
Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium iam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.
28
Is, ut vidit Iesum, procidit ante illum: et exclamans voce magna, dixit: Quid mihi, et tibi est Iesu Fili Dei Altissimi? obsecro te, ne me torqueas.
29
Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta.
30
Interrogavit autem illum Iesus, dicens: Quod tibi nomen est? At ille dixit: Legio: quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum.
31
Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent.
32
Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte: et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.
33
Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos: et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.
34
Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nunciaverunt in civitatem, et in villas.
35
Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Iesum: et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente ad pedes eius, et timuerunt.
36
Nunciaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione:
37
et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis: quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.
38
Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Iesus, dicens:
39
Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Iesus.
40
Factum est autem cum rediisset Iesus, excepit illum turba. erunt enim omnes expectantes eum.
41
Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Iairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat: et cecidit ad pedes Iesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum eius,
42
quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.
43
Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari:
44
accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti eius: et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis eius.
45
Et ait Iesus: Quis est, qui me tetigit? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: Quis me tetigit?
46
Et dicit Iesus: Tetigit me aliquis. nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.
47
Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes eius: et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo: et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.
48
At ipse dixit ei: Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace.
49
Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei: Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.
50
Iesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ: Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.
51
Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ.
52
Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: Nolite flere, non est mortua puella, sed dormit.
53
Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.
54
Ipse autem tenens manum eius clamavit, dicens: Puella, surge.
55
Et reversus est spiritus eius, et surrexit continuo. Et iussit illi dari manducare.
56
Et stupuerunt parentes eius, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.

1
Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4
When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5
“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8
Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10
He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14
What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15
Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17
For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22
Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24
They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26
Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27
When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29
For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31
They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33
The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37
All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39
“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40
When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41
Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42
for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44
came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48
He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51
When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54
But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56
Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.

και εγενετο εν τω καθεξης και αυτος διωδευεν κατα πολιν και κωμην κηρυσσων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου και οι δωδεκα συν αυτω
2
και γυναικες τινες αι ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων μαρια η καλουμενη μαγδαληνη αφ ης δαιμονια επτα εξεληλυθει
3
και ιωαννα γυνη χουζα επιτροπου ηρωδου και σουσαννα και ετεραι πολλαι αιτινες διηκονουν αυτοις εκ των υπαρχοντων αυταις
4
συνιοντος δε οχλου πολλου και των κατα πολιν επιπορευομενων προς αυτον ειπεν δια παραβολης
5
εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειραι τον σπορον αυτου και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον ο μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και κατεπατηθη και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγεν αυτο
6
και ετερον κατεπεσεν επι την πετραν και φυεν εξηρανθη δια το μη εχειν ικμαδα
7
και ετερον επεσεν εν μεσω των ακανθων και συμφυεισαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο
8

ο δε ειπεν υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του θεου τοις δε λοιποις εν παραβολαις ινα βλεποντες μη βλεπωσιν και ακουοντες μη συνιωσιν

ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας καλυπτει αυτον σκευει η υποκατω κλινης τιθησιν αλλ επι λυχνιας τιθησιν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι βλεπωσιν το φως
17
ου γαρ εστιν κρυπτον ο ου φανερον γενησεται ουδε αποκρυφον ο ου μη γνωσθη και εις φανερον ελθη

εξελθοντα δε τα δαιμονια απο του ανθρωπου εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την λιμνην και απεπνιγη

38
εδειτο δε αυτου ο ανηρ αφ ου εξεληλυθει τα δαιμονια ειναι συν αυτω απελυσεν δε αυτον λεγων
39
υποστρεφε εις τον οικον σου και διηγου οσα σοι εποιησεν ο θεος και απηλθεν καθ ολην την πολιν κηρυσσων οσα εποιησεν αυτω ο ιησους

44
προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου και παραχρημα εστη η ρυσις του αιματος αυτης

και ειπεν ο ιησους τις ο αψαμενος μου αρνουμενων δε παντων ειπεν ο πετρος επιστατα οι οχλοι συνεχουσιν σε και αποθλιβουσιν
46
ο δε ιησους ειπεν ηψατο μου τις εγω γαρ εγνων δυναμιν εξεληλυθυιαν απ εμου
47
ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι ουκ ελαθεν τρεμουσα ηλθεν και προσπεσουσα αυτω δι ην αιτιαν ηψατο αυτου απηγγειλεν ενωπιον παντος του λαου και ως ιαθη παραχρημα
48
ο δε ειπεν αυτη θυγατηρ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε πορευου εις ειρηνην
49
ετι αυτου λαλουντος ερχεται τις παρα του αρχισυναγωγου λεγων οτι τεθνηκεν η θυγατηρ σου μηκετι σκυλλε τον διδασκαλον
50
ο δε ιησους ακουσας απεκριθη αυτω μη φοβου μονον πιστευσον και σωθησεται
51
ελθων δε εις την οικιαν ουκ αφηκεν εισελθειν τινα συν αυτω ει μη πετρον και ιωαννην και ιακωβον και τον πατερα της παιδος και την μητερα
52
εκλαιον δε παντες και εκοπτοντο αυτην ο δε ειπεν μη κλαιετε ου γαρ απεθανεν αλλα καθευδει
53
και κατεγελων αυτου ειδοτες οτι απεθανεν
54
αυτος δε κρατησας της χειρος αυτης εφωνησεν λεγων η παις εγειρε
55
και επεστρεψεν το πνευμα αυτης και ανεστη παραχρημα και διεταξεν αυτη δοθηναι φαγειν
56
και εξεστησαν οι γονεις αυτης ο δε παρηγγειλεν αυτοις μηδενι ειπειν το γεγονος

And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve <FI>are<Fi> with him,
2
and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.
4
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
5
`The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
6
`And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
7
`And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
8
`And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear--let him hear.'
9
And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?'
10
And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11
`And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,
12
and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13
`And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14
`And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
15
`And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain <FI>it<Fi> , and bear fruit in continuance.
16
`And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put <FI>it<Fi> ; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put <FI>it<Fi> , that those coming in may see the light,
17
for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
18
`See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
19
And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,
20
and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'
21
and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
22
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,
23
and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24
And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25
and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'
26
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,
27
and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,
28
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What--to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
29
For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters--guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.
30
And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)
31
and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss,
32
and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,
33
and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.
34
And those feeding <FI>them<Fi> , having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told <FI>it<Fi> to the city, and to the fields;
35
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36
and those also having seen <FI>it<Fi> , told them how the demoniac was saved.
37
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
38
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39
`Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
40
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,
41
and lo, there came a man, whose name <FI>is<Fi> Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;
42
because he had an only daughter about twelve years <FI>old<Fi> , and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,
43
and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,
44
having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
45
And Jesus said, `Who <FI>is<Fi> it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng <FI>thee<Fi> , and thou dost say, Who <FI>is<Fi> it that touched me!'
46
And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'
47
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;
48
and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'
49
While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's <FI>house<Fi> , saying to him--`Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'
50
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'
51
And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
53
and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;
54
and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;'
55
and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;
56
and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
