43	And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;	Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
44	And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.	"See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."
45	But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.	Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.

3	Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:	"Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4	And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.	As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5	And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:	Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6	But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.	But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7	And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.	Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.
8	And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.	Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."
9	And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.	Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
10	And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.	When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.

"
13	And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?	Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?
14	The sower soweth the word.	The farmer sows the word.
15	And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.	Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
16	And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;	Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
17	And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.	But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
18	And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,	Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
19	And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.	but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
20	And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.	Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop--thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown."
21	And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?	He said to them, "Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't you put it on its stand?
22	For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.	For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.
23	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.	If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24	And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.	"Consider carefully what you hear," he continued. "With the measure you use, it will be measured to you--and even more.
25	For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.	Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."
26	And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;	He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
27	And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.	Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
28	For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.	All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
29	But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.	As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."
30	And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?	Again he said, "What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it?
31	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:	It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.
32	But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.	Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade."
33	And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.	With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
34	But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.	He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
35	And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.	That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us 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.	Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
37	And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.	A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38	And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?	Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
39	And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.	He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40	And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?	He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
41	And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?	They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

Verse	King James Version	New International Version
1	And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.	They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.
2	And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,	When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.
3	Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:	This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.
4	Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.	For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.
5	And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.	Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6	But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,	When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.
7	And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.	He shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won't torture me!"
8	For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.	For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!"
9	And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.	Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."
10	And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.	And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11	Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.	A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.
12	And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.	The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them."
13	And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.	He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14	And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.	Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15	And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.	When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16	And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.	Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man--and told about the pigs as well.
17	And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.	Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18	And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.	As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.
19	Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.	Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."
20	And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.	So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
21	And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.	When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live."
24	And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.	So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.
25	And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,	And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
26	And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,	She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse.
27	When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.	When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak,
28	For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.	because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed."
29	And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.	Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30	And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?	At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31	And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?	"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, `Who touched me?'"
32	And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.	But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it.
33	But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.	Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
34	And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.	He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
35	While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?	While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?"
36	As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.	Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe."
37	And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.	He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
38	And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.	When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
39	And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.	He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep."
40	And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.	But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41	And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.	He took her by the hand and said to her, (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").
42	And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.	Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
43	And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.	He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.

4	But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.	Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor."

6	And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.	And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village.

And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them."

16	But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.	But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"
17	For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.	For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.
18	For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.	For John had been saying 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 could not:	So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,
20	For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.	because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled ; yet he liked to listen to him.

23	And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.	And he promised her with an oath, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom."
24	And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.	She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptist," she answered.
25	And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.	At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26	And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.	The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse 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,	So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,
28	And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.	and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
32	And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.	So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
33	And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.	But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34	And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

36	Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.	Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37	He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?	But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
38	He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.	"How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish."

40	And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.	So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41	And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.	Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people.

42	And they did all eat, and were filled.	They all ate and were satisfied,

48	And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.	He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,
49	But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:	but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
50	For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.	because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
51	And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.	Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
52	For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.	for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

Mark - Chapter 7

Verse	King James Version	New International Version	Note
1	Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.	The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and
2	And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.	saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed.
3	For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.	(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4	And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.	When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles. )
5	Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?	So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with `unclean' hands?"
6	He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.	He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "`These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
7	Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.	They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
8	For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.	You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
9	And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.	And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
10	For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:	For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother,' and, `Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'
11	But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.	But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: `Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God),
12	And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;	then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.
13	Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.	Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."
14	And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:	Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15	There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.	Nothing outside a man can make him `unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him `unclean.' "
16	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.		*
17	And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.	After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
18	And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;	"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him `unclean'?
19	Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?	For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")
20	And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.	He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him `unclean.'
21	For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,	For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22	Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:	greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23	All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.	All these evils come from inside and make a man `unclean.'"
24	And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.	Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.
25	For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:	In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet.
26	The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.	The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27	But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.	"First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
28	And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.	"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29	And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.	Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."

34	And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.	He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, (which means, "Be opened!").
35	And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.	At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36	And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;	Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
37	And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.	People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

33	And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?	They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

35	And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.	Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."
36	And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,	He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37	Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.	"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

42	And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

39	And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:	"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,
40	But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.	but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."

42	But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.	Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
43	But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:	Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44	And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.	and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45	For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.	For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

48	And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.	Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49	And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.	Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you."
50	And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.	Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
51	And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.	"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see."
52	And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.	"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

24	And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?	Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25	For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.	When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
29	And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:	"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: `Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30	And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.	Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
31	And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.	The second is this: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
32	And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:	"Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.
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 neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.	To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34	And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

36	For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.	David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: "`The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."'
37	David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.	David himself calls him `Lord.' How then can he be his son?" The large crowd listened to him with delight.
38	And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,	As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the marketplaces,
39	And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:	and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

41	And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

43	And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:	Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
44	For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.	They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on."

1	After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.	Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him.
2	But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.	"But not during the Feast," they said, "or the people may riot."
3	And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.	While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
4	And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?	Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume?
5	For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.	It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly.
6	And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.	"Leave her alone," said Jesus. "Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
7	For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.	The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.
8	She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.	She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.
9	Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.	I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."
10	And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.	Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.

13	And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.	So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.
14	And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?	Say to the owner of the house he enters, `The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'
15	And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.	He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there."
16	And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.	The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
17	And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.	When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.
18	And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.	While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me."
19	And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?	They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, "Surely not I?"
20	And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.	"It is one of the Twelve," he replied, "one who dips bread into the bowl with me.
21	The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.	The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."
22	And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.	While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; 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.	Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, and they all drank from it.
24	And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.	"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them.
25	Verily I say unto 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.	"I tell you the truth, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God."
26	And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.	When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27	And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.	"You will all fall away," Jesus told them, "for it is written: "`I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.'
28	But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.	But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee."
29	But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.	Peter declared, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
30	And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.	"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "today--yes, tonight--before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times."
31	But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.	But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the others said the same.
32	And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.	They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

34	And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.	"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."
35	And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.	Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him.
36	And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.	, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."
37	And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?	Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?
38	Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.	Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
39	And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.	Once more he went away and prayed the same thing.
40	And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.	When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41	And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.	Returning the third time, he said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42	Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.	Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
43	And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.	Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders.
44	And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.	Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard."
45	And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.	Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him.
46	And they laid their hands on him, and took him.	The men seized Jesus and arrested him.
47	And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.	Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48	And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?	"Am I leading a rebellion," said Jesus, "that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me?
49	I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.	Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."
50	And they all forsook him, and fled.	Then everyone deserted him and fled.
51	And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:	A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him,
52	And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.	he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
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.	They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders and teachers of the law came together.
54	And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.	Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
55	And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.	The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any.
56	For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.	Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57	And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,	Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:
58	We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.	"We heard him say, `I will destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man.'"
59	But neither so did their witness agree together.	Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
60	And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?	Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?"
61	But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?	But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
62	And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.	"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
63	Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?	The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked.
64	Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.	"You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death.
65	And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.	Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards took him and beat him.
66	And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:	While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by.
67	And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.	When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said.
68	But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.	But he denied it. "I don't know or understand what you're talking about," he said, and went out into the entryway.
69	And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.	When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, "This fellow is one of them."
70	And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.	Again he denied it. After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean."
71	But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.	He began to call down curses on himself, and he swore to them, "I don't know this man you're talking about."
72	And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.	Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times." And he broke down and wept.

4	And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.	But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.
