delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him,
If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in theirhands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him
through all the region round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went
into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened
the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord isupon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave itagain to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of
all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his
mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself:
whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven
was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a cityof Sidon, unto a woman that
wasa widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon
their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out
with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let usalone; what have we to do with thee, thouJesus of Nazareth? art thou come
to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had
thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word isthis! for

with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's
mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and
ministered unto them.
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them
unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And
he rebuking themsuffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him,
and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore
am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by
the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were
washing theirnets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust
out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down
your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken
nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto theirpartners, which were in the other ship, that they should come
and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a
sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they
had taken:
10 And so wasalso James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And
Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing
Jesus fell on hisface, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth hishand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately
the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together
to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and
doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and
Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was presentto heal them.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought
meansto bring him in, and to lay himbefore him.

19 And when they could not find by what waythey might bring him in because of the multitude,
they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with hiscouch into the midst
before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh
blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in
your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said
unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to
his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have
seen strange things to day.
27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of
publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and
drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that
are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and
likewise the disciplesof the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the
bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall
they fast in those days.
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old;
if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was takenout of the new
agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and
be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old winestraightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn
fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing themin theirhands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the
sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when
himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them
that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught:
and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
