11 But as they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and told the chief priests all that had been done. 12 And having come together with the elders, and taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers, 13 saying: Say that his disciples came by night and stole him while we slept.

Lo, I have told you. 8 And going away quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word. 9 And behold, Jesus met them, saying: Hail. And they came and laid hold of his feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then says Jesus to them: Fear not; go, tell my brethren that they go

16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had appointed them; 17 and when they saw him they worshipped, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things whatever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you, all the days, to the conclusion of the age.

And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and having cried out with a loud voice came out of him. 27 And all were amazed, so that they inquired one of another, saying: What means this? a new teaching according to authority: he also comands the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28 And his fame immediately went forth everywhere into the whole surrounding country of Galilee.

12 And immediately the Spirit drives him into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.

14 But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 that the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent and believe in the gospel.

35 And very early while yet night, he rose up and went out, and went away to a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him, 37 and found him, and said to him: All seek for thee. 38 And he said to them: Let us go elsewhere to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39 And he went through the whole of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues, and casting out demons.

He blasphemes: who can forgive sins but one, God? 8 And 40 And there came to him a leper, Jesus immediately perceiving by his entreating him and kneeling, saying spirit that they thus reasoned in to him: If thou wilt, thou canst themselves, said to them: Why make me clean. 41 And moved reason these things in your hearts? with pity he stretched forth his 9 Which is easier, to say to the hand and touched him and said: I palsied man: Thy sins are forgiven, will; be clean. 42 And the leprosy or to say: Rise and take up thy bed immediately departed from him, and and go? 10 But that you may know he was made clean. 43 And after that the Son of man on earth has charging him in a threatening man-authority to forgive sins, he says ner, he immediately sent him forth, to the palsied man: 11 I say to 44 and said to him: See that thou thee, rise, take up thy bed and go say nothing to any one, but go, to thy house. 12 And he arose. show thyself to the priest, and and immediately taking up his bed offer for thy cleansing the things he went out before all, so that they that Moses commanded, for a all were astonished, and glorified testimony to them. 45 But he God, saying: Thus never saw we. went out and began to proclaim 13 And he went forth again to it much, and publish the matter the sea; and all the multitude came abroad, SO that he could no to him, and he taught them. longer openly enter into a city.

And seeing that he ate with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why does he eat and drink with the publicans and sinners? 17 And hearing it Jesus says to them: They that are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call righteous men, but sinners.

said to them: Did you never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? 26 how he entered into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of the presence, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to those also that were with him? 27 And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 so then the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
