1 Now two days after this there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there;2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding, and his disciples.3 And when the wine ran short, Jesus mother said to him, "They have no wine."4 "Woman," said Jesus, "what have you to do with me? My time is not yet come."5 His mother said to the attendants, "Whatever he may tell you to do, do it."6 Now there were six stone water - jars standing there, according to the Jewish rites of purification, each holding about twenty gallons.7 Jesus said, "Fill up the jars with water."8 So they filled them brimful. Then he said, "Draw some out now, and carry it to the master of the feast."9 So they carried it. And when the master of the feast had tasted of the water which had been made wine, not knowing where it came from, though the attendants who had drawn it knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him.10 "Everybody serves first the good wine, and when people have drunk freely, the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."11 This beginning of signs Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and showed forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him there.

1 Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.2 "Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"3 "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.4 "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.5 "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."6 When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the mans eyes.7 Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.8 Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.10 So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"11 He answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash;so I went and washed and received my sight."12 "Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.

13 When Jesus heard it he went away privately by boat to a lonely spot; but the crowds heard about it, and followed him on foot from the cities.14 So when he landed he saw a great multitude, and felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.15 As twilight fell, his disciples came to him and said. "This is a lonely spot, and the day is far spent; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."16 "They need not go away," said Jesus, "do you, yourselves, give them something to eat."17 "We have nothing here," they replied, "except five loaves and two fishes."18 "Bring them here to me," said Jesus.19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass, and after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves and handed them to the disciples, and the disciples handed them to the crowds.20 And they all ate and were fully satisfied, and they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve basketfuls.21 Those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

35 On the evening of that same day Jesus said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."36 So, leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them just as he was in the boat; and the other boats were with him.37 But a great gale of wind came up, and the waves were dashing into the boat so that it began to fill.38 Now he himself was sleeping on the cushion in the stern, so they woke him up, saying, "Master, do you not care if we perish?"39 And he awoke, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!"40 The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"41 Then they were awestruck, and said one to another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him!"

25 Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.28 "If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."29 At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.30 Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"31 "You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, Who touched me?"32 But he kept looking about to see who had done it,33 and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 "Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."

1 Then they came to the country of the Gadarenes, on the opposite side of the sea;2 and he had no sooner stepped out of the boat, than a man out of the tombs came to meet him, a man with an unclean spirit,3 who lived among the tombs.4 Not even with a chain could any man bind him, for he had been bound with fetters and chains again and again, and had snapped the chains, and broken the fetters; and there was no one strong enough to master him.5 And always, night and day, he remained among the tombs and in the mountains, shrieking and gashing himself with stones.6 As he caught sight of Jesus from afar, he ran and knelt before him,7 and with a shriek he cried out in a loud voice. "Jesus, son of God most high, what business have you with me? I adjure you by God, torment me not!"8 For Jesus was saying, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."9 He continued asking him, "What is your mane?" "Legion is my name, for we are many."10 Over and over he continued to beg Jesus not to send them away out of the country.11 Now there was on the hillside a great drove of swine feeding.12 So the spirits begged him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."13 And he gave them leave. And out came the foul spirits and entered the swine; and the drove rushed down from the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand, and were choked in the sea.14 On this the swineherds ran away and spread the news in town and country. So the people went to see what had happened.15 When they got to Jesus they found the demoniac sitting there clothed and in his right mind - the man who had had the "Legion" - and they were awestruck.16 And those who had been eye-witnesses told them what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.17 Then they began to beg Jesus to depart from their district.18 As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,19 "Go home to your own people, and tell them what great things God has done for you, and has had mercy upon you."20 So he went and began to publish abroad in the District of the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and every one was astonished and all men marveled.

21 Then after Jesus had recrossed in a boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding around him; so he stayed on the seashore.22 Then one of the wardens of the synagogue, named Jairus, came up, and as soon as he saw Jesus, fell at his feet, with many entreaties,23 "My little daughter," he said, "is dying. I beseech you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may recover and live."24 So he went with him, and a great crowd followed him and thronged about him.25 Now there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years,26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, but was no better; on the contrary, rather grew worse.27 She had heard about Jesus, so she came in the crowd behind and touched his cloak.28 "If I can touch even his clothes," she kept saying to herself, "I shall get well."29 At once the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her complaint.30 Jesus, instantly conscious that the power within him had gone forth, turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"31 "You see the crowd thronging about you," said his disciples, "and yet you say, Who touched me?"32 But he kept looking about to see who had done it,33 and the woman knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.34 "Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."35 While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"36 But Jesus, paying no attention to the remark, said to the warden of the synagogue, "Have no fear, only believe."37 He would not permit any one to go with him, except Peter and Jamesand John, the brother of James.38 As they came to the house of the warden of the synagogue, he gazed upon a tumult, many weeping and wailing shrilly.39 "Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.40 "The child is not dead, but asleep." And they began to laugh him to scorn. Then he put them all outside, took the father and mother of the child and those he brought with him, and entered the room where the child was lying.41 Then he took the childs hand and said to her, "Talitha, cumi," that is to say, "Little girl, I am speaking to you; arise!"42 And instantly the little girl stood up, and began to walk, for she was twelve years old, They were at once beside themselves with utter amazement.43 He, however, repeatedly cautioned them not to let any one know about it, and directed them to give her something to eat.

22 Then he made his disciples get aboard the boat and precede him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds.23 After he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain alone, to pray. When night came he was there alone.24 But the boat was already a long way from shore, buffeted by the waves, for the wind was contrary.25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came toward them, walking upon the sea,26 but when the disciples saw him walking upon the sea, they were terrified. "It is a phantom," they said, and cried out for fear.27 But at once Jesus spoke to them, "Courage," he said, "it is I. Fear not."28 Peter answered, "Master, if it is you, bid me come to you upon the water."29 "Come," said Jesus. Then Peter got down from the boat and walked on the water to go to Jesus.30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and as he began to sink, he cried out, "Master, save me!"31 At once Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, saying to him. "O little faith! What made you doubt?"32 Then as they climbed into the boat the wind grew weary,33 and the men in the boat fell upon their knees before him, saying, "You are, indeed, the Son of God."

1 Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";2 and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.3 While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.4 When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.5 Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."6 But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.7 "Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"8 Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.9 "Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven, or to say, Rise, take up your cot and walk?10 But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-11 "I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."12 The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."

1 Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha2 - it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.3 So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."4 When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.6 However, when he heard that he was ill,7 he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."8 "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"9 Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;10 but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."11 This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."12 "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.13 Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.14 So then he told them plainly.15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."16 Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."17 so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;19 so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.20 So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.21 Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died;22 but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."24 Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day."25 "I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.26 And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"27 "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."28 With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."29 So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.30 Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.31 Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.32 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."33 Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.34 "Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.35 Jesus burst into tears.36 "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,37 "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"38 Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.39 "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."40 Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"41 Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.42 "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."43 When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"44 Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."
