¹ And^◦ when He had come·​·down from the mountain, many crowds followed Him.

² And behold^◦, there came a leper and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou willest, Thou canst make· me ·clean.

³ And stretching forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I am willing; be thou cleansed. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ And Jesus says to him, See^▵ thou tell no one; but go·​·thy·​·way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses directed, for^◦ a testimony to them.

⁵ And^◦ when Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion^◦ came·​·to Him, imploring Him,

⁶ and saying, Lord, my boy is cast·​·down in the house, sick·​·of·​·the·​·palsy, frightfully tormented.

⁷ And Jesus says to him, I will come and cure him.

⁸ And the centurion^◦ answering declared^◦, Lord, I am not worthy^◦ that^◦ Thou shouldst come·​·in under my roof, but only say^◦ the word, and my boy shall be healed.

⁹ For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself; and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

¹⁰ And^◦ when Jesus heard, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Amen I say to you, I have not found so·​·great a faith, no, not in Israel.

¹¹ And^◦ I say to you that many shall come^◦ from the east and west, and shall recline^* with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹² And^◦ the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness, where^◦ there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion^◦, Go·​·thy·​·way; and as thou hast believed, be· it ·done^◦ to thee. And his boy was healed in the same hour.

¹⁴ And Jesus, coming into the house of Peter, saw^◦ his mother-in-law cast·​·down and with·​·a·​·fever.

¹⁵ And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered to them.

¹⁶ And^◦ when the evening was come, they brought·​·to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and He cured all who had an illness,

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled what was declared by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He took our weaknesses, and bore our diseases.^*

¹⁸ And^◦ Jesus, seeing^◦ many crowds around Him, gave·​·orders to depart^◦ to^◦ the other·​·side.

¹⁹ And one of the scribes coming said^◦ to Him, Teacher, I will follow Thee wherever Thou goest^▵.

²⁰ And Jesus says unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests, but^◦ the Son of Man has nowhere to recline the head.

²¹ And^◦ another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, permit me first to go^▵ and bury my father.

²² But^◦ Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

²³ And when He had stepped into the ship, His disciples followed Him.

²⁴ And behold^◦, there came·​·to·​·pass a great quaking in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves; but^◦ He was sleeping.

²⁵ And His disciples coming, caused Him to arise, saying, Lord, save us, we are perishing.

²⁶ And He says unto them, Why are you frightened, O you of·​·little·​·faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was^◦ a great calm.

²⁷ And^◦ the men marveled, saying, What·​·manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

²⁸ And when He had come to the other side of the country of the Gergesenes, two met Him who were demon-possessed, coming out of the sepulchers, exceedingly fierce, so·​·that^◦ no one was·​·able^◦ to pass·​·through that way.

²⁹ And behold^◦, they cried out, saying, What is there to us and to Thee^*, Jesus, Son of God? Art Thou come hither before the time to torment us?

³⁰ And^◦ there was, a·​·distance from them, a herd of many swine feeding^◦.

³¹ And^◦ the demons implored Him, saying, If Thou cast· us ·out, permit us to go·​·away^◦ into the herd of swine.

³² And He said^◦ to them, Go^◦. And^◦ when they came·​·out, they went·​·away^◦ into the herd of swine; and behold^◦, all the herd of swine rushed down^◦ a cliff into the sea, and died in the waters.

³³ And^◦ they who fed^◦ them fled, and went·​·away^◦ into the city, and reported all things, and the matter of the demon-possessed.

³⁴ And behold^◦, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and seeing^◦ Him, they implored Him that He would pass·​·on away·​·from their borders.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

⁵ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

⁶ There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

⁷ The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸ He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

⁹ The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

¹¹ He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.

¹² But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

¹³ who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁵ John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

¹⁶ From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

¹⁹ This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

²⁰ He declared, and didn't deny, but he declared, "I am not the Christ."

²¹ They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."

²² They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

²³ He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."

²⁴ The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees.

²⁵ They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

²⁶ John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know.

²⁷ He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."

²⁸ These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹ The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

³⁰ This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.'

³¹ I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

³² John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

³³ I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

³⁴ I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

³⁵ Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,

³⁶ and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"

³⁷ The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

³⁸ Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?"

³⁹ He said to them, "Come, and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴¹ He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

⁴² He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).

⁴³ On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me."

⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁴⁵ Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

⁴⁶ Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "come and see."

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

⁴⁸ Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"

⁵⁰ Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these!"

⁵¹ He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
