And out of the heavens came a voice, "You are my Son, my Beloved! In you I am delighted!"

They went into Capernaum, and as soon as the first Sabbath came, He went into the synagogue and began to teach.

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

There came to Him a leper, begging Him on his knees, saying to Him, "If you want to, you can cure me."

After some days He came back to Capernaum, and it was reported that He was at home,

Then four men came bringing to Him a paralyzed man.

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast. So some people came and asked Him, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples practice fasting, but yours never do?"

and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the other side of the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon -- yes, a vast throng of people, as they kept hearing of the great things that He was doing, came to Him.

His kinsmen heard of it and came over to get hold of Him, for they kept saying, "He has gone crazy."

Then His mother and His brothers came. They were standing outside and sent word to call Him.

As he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.

Some fell in rich soil, and came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold."

But a furious squall of wind came up, and the waves were dashing over into the boat, so that it was fast filling.

So He let them do so. And the foul spirits came out of the man and got into the hogs, and the drove of about two thousand rushed over the cliff and into the sea and were drowned.

Then the hog-feeders fled and spread the news in the town and in the country around; and the people came to see what had taken place.

When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had once been insane under the power of many demons, sitting, with his clothes on, and in his right mind, they were frightened.

And a man named Jairus, a leader of a synagogue, came up, and when he saw Jesus he flung himself at His feet

So the woman, as she knew what had taken place for her, though frightened and trembling, came forward and fell on her knees before His feet, and told Him the whole truth.

Even while He was saying this, people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead; why trouble the Teacher any longer?"

They came to the home of the leader of the synagogue, and there He saw confusion, and people weeping and wailing without restraint.

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue. And the people were dumbfounded when they heard Him, and said, "Where did He get all these things? What sort of wisdom is it that has been given Him? And such mighty deeds are done by Him!

When a holiday came and Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his state officials, his military officers, and other leading men of Galilee,

Herodias' daughter came in and danced for them, and fascinated Herod and his guests. So the king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I will give it to you."

When his disciples heard of it, they came and carried off his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

When it grew late, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a destitute place and it is already late.

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

And whatever villages or towns or country places He came to, they would lay the sick in the market-places and beg Him to let them touch just the tassel of His coat, and everybody that touched it was cured.

On the contrary, a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit, at once heard about Him and came and flung herself at His feet.

Now the Pharisees came out and began a discussion with Him, and to test Him asked Him to show them a spectacular sign from heaven.

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

Then a cloud came and was circling over them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my Son, my Beloved; keep on listening to Him!"

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

Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho, with His disciples and a great crowd, Timeus' son, Bartimeus, a blind beggar, was sitting on the roadside.

So when evening came, He and His disciples used to go out of the city.

Then again they went into Jerusalem. And while Jesus was walking about in the temple, the high priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him

And they came up and said to Him, "We know that you always tell the truth, and pay no personal consideration to anyone, but teach the way of God honestly. Is it right to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

Then some Sadducees, who claim that there is no resurrection, came up to Him and asked Him this question,

He came back the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? No more of that! The hour has come. See! The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinful men.

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