Jesus

for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,

and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to them in his teaching:

And he said to them, `He who is having ears to hear--let him hear.'

And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch--not that it may be put on the lamp-stand?

And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;

And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

And he said, `To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,

and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We may pass over to the other side;'

and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?'

And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, `Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm:

and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?'

and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What--to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

(for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

and he was questioning him, `What is thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion is my name, because we are many;'

and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.
