It was in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

and out of the heavens came a voice: "You are my Son, my Beloved! You are my Chosen!"

He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the neighboring country towns, so that I may preach in them, too, for that is why I came out here."

There came to him a leper appealing to him on his knees, saying to him, "If you only choose, you can cure me."

But he went off and began to talk so much about it, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in unfrequented places, and people came to him from every direction.

Some days later he came back to Capernaum, and people heard that he was at home,

And some people came bringing to him a man who was paralyzed, four of them carrying him.

He went out of the town again and along the shore, and all the people came to him and he taught them.

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast. And people came and asked him, "Why is it that when John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are keeping the fast, yours are not keeping it?"

and Jerusalem and Idumea and from the other side of the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon a great many who had heard of the things he was doing came to him.

His relatives heard of it and came over to stop him, for they said that he was out of his mind.

And his mother and his brothers came. And they stood outside the house and sent word in to him to come outside to them.

and as he was sowing, some of the seed chanced to fall by the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

but when the sun came up, it was scorched, and withered up, because it had no root.

And some fell on good soil, and came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold."

And a heavy squall of wind came on and the waves dashed into the boat, so that it was beginning to fill.

As soon as he got out of the boat, a man possessed by a foul spirit came out of the burial places near by to meet him.

So he gave them permission. And the foul spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the drove of about two thousand rushed over the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned.

And the men who tended them ran away and spread the news in the town and in the country around, and the people came to see what had happened.

When they came to Jesus and found the demoniac sitting quietly with his clothes on and in his right mind??he same man who had been possessed by Legion??hey were frightened.

And a man named Jairus, the leader of a synagogue, came up and seeing him threw himself at his feet,

had heard about Jesus. And she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his coat,

The woman, knowing what had happened to her, came forward frightened and trembling, and threw herself down at his feet and told him the whole truth.

Even as he spoke people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why should you trouble the Master any further?"

They came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, and there he found everything in confusion, and people weeping and wailing.

When the Sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue. And the people were astonished when they heard him, and said, "Where did he get all this? How does he come to have such wisdom? How are such marvelous things done through him?

When a holiday came and Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his courtiers and officers and to the leading men of Galilee,

Herodias' own daughter came in and danced for them. And Herod and his guests were delighted, and the king said to the girl,

When his disciples heard of it they came and took his body away and put it in a tomb.

When it grew late his disciples came up to him and said, "This is a lonely place and it is getting late.

When evening came on, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on shore.

They crossed over to the other side and came to Gennesaret and moored the boat.

As soon as they came ashore, the people recognized Jesus,

but a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit immediately heard about him and came and threw herself at his feet.

The Pharisees came out and began a discussion with him, testing him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

And they came to Bethsaida. And people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

And a cloud came and overshadowed them, and from the cloud came a voice, "This is my Son, my Beloved. Listen to him,"

When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

Some Pharisees came up, and in order to test him asked him whether a man should be allowed to divorce his wife.

As he was starting again on his journey, a man came running up to him, and knelt at his feet and asked him, "Good master, what must I do to make sure of eternal life?"

It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of God!"

And Zebedee's two sons, James and John, came up to him and said, "Master, we want you to do for us whatever we ask."

And they came to Jericho. As he was leaving the town with his disciples and a great crowd, Timaeus' son Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.

And he came into Jerusalem and into the Temple, and looked it all over; then, as it was already late, he went out with the Twelve to Bethany.

So when evening came, he and his disciples used to go out of the city.

Then they went into Jerusalem again. And as Jesus was walking about in the Temple, the high priests, scribes, and elders came up

This came from the Lord And seems marvelous to us'?"

And they came up and said to him, "Master, we know that you tell the truth regardless of the consequences, for you are not guided by personal considerations, but teach the way of God with sincerity. Is it right to pay the poll tax to the emperor or not?

Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question.

One of the scribes came up and heard them arguing. He saw that Jesus had answered them well, and he asked him, "Which is the first of all the commands?"

A poor widow came up and dropped in two little copper coins which make a cent.

Jesus was in Bethany, at the house of Simon the leper, and as he was at table, a woman came in, with an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, very expensive; she broke the flask and poured the perfume on his head.

When it was evening he came with the Twelve.

They came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit down here while I pray."

When he came back he found them asleep again, for they could hardly keep their eyes open; and they did not know what answer to make to him.

When he came back for the third time, he said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough of this! The time has come. See! the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

Just at that moment, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, from the high priests, scribes, and elders.

So when he came he went straight up to Jesus and said, "Master!" and kissed him affectionately.

They took Jesus away to the high priest, and all the high priests, elders, and scribes came together.

Then the high priest got up and came forward into the center and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What about their evidence against you?"

While Peter was down in the courtyard, one of the high priest's maids came up,

And a crowd of people came up and started to ask him for the usual favor.
