After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was—the star they had seen in the east! It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was.

After they were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to destroy Him.”

He stayed there until Herod’s death, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: Out of Egypt I called My Son.

But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the region of Galilee.

And there came a voice from heaven:

This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him!

Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.

So if you are offering your gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

I assure you: You will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny!

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye?

“Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it.

But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” So he got up and followed Him.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

“When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy, and stay there until you leave.

“Therefore, don’t be afraid of them, since there is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered and nothing hidden that won’t be made known.

When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.

Moving on from there, He entered their synagogue.

There He saw a man who had a paralyzed hand. And in order to accuse Him they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

When Jesus became aware of this, He withdrew from there. Huge crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

Then off it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

Others fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t much soil, and they sprang up quickly since the soil wasn’t deep.

They will throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

and throw them into the blazing furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

When Jesus had finished these parables, He left there.

And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

When Jesus heard about it, He withdrew from there by boat to a remote place to be alone. When the crowds heard this, they followed Him on foot from the towns.

After dismissing the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone.

When Jesus left there, He withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.

Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,

I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them.”

Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

After putting His hands on them, He went on from there.

“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” He said to him. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us?”

There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

telling them, “Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

Then He left them, went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

“Listen to another parable: There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. He leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

But when the king came in to view the guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed for a wedding.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The same day some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up to Him and questioned Him:

Now there were seven brothers among us. The first got married and died. Having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again!

Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.

He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

“In the middle of the night there was a shout: ‘Here’s the groom! Come out to meet him.’

“The sensible ones answered, ‘No, there won’t be enough for us and for you. Go instead to those who sell, and buy oil for yourselves.’

And throw this good-for-nothing slave into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“Not during the festival,” they said, “so there won’t be rioting among the people.”

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

When he had gone out to the gateway, another woman saw him and told those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazarene!”

After a little while those standing there approached and said to Peter, “You certainly are one of them, since even your accent gives you away.”

Then they sat down and were guarding Him there.

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah!”

Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and ministered to Him were there, looking on from a distance.

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were seated there, facing the tomb.

Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, because an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and approached the tomb. He rolled back the stone and was sitting on it.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead. In fact, He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”

Then Jesus told them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see Me there.”

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He got up, went out, and made His way to a deserted place. And He was praying there.

And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.”

So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and He was speaking the message to them.

But some of the scribes were sitting there, thinking to themselves:

While He was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also guests with Jesus and His disciples, because there were many who were following Him.

Now He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a paralyzed hand.

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Now a large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside.

And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.

So He was not able to do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

Then He said to them, “Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that place.

If any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, when you leave there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

but many saw them leaving and recognized them. People ran there by land from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.)

He got up and departed from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, but He could not escape notice.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He summoned the disciples and said to them,

About 4,000 men were there. He dismissed them

Then He said to them, “I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”

“Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name who can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

He set out from there and went to the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Then crowds converged on Him again and, as He usually did, He began teaching them once more.

“I assure you,” Jesus said, “there is no one who has left house, brothers or sisters, mother or father, children, or fields because of Me and the gospel,

and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the donkey?”

After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him:

There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no offspring.

“The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.”

Then the scribe said to Him, “You are right, Teacher! You have correctly said that He is One, and there is no one else except Him.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah! Look—there!’ do not believe it!

“Not during the festival,” they said, “or there may be rioting among the people.”

He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.”
