and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;

and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.

Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.

Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.

But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."

He said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"

When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.

When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.

Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.

But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,

A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,

Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."

Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?" He sought to see him.

But the crowds, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God."

But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God."

And suddenly two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great."

Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against you is for you."

Another also said, "I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house."

Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."

"All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"

He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.

Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.

"He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.

But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.

You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?

Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them do not know it."

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;

but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.

The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?

Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.

That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

And just then there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

And note this, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused.

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

And just then a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come.

But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'

As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.

Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?"

In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.

saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who did not fear God, and did not respect man.

Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God.

Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"
