And he came to his hometown [and] began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were amazed and said, "From where did this man [get] this wisdom and these miracles?

And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his [own] hometown and in his [own] household."

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

And the king was sorry, but because he had sworn to do it, and because of the guests who were present, he ordered it to be given to her.

And Jesus went forth and saw much people: and his heart did melt upon them, and he healed of them those that were sick.

And having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

Now those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

But the disciples, [when they] saw him walking on the sea, were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.

immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, and caught him, diffident man, said he, why were you in suspence?

And as soon as they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, "Of a truth thou art the son of God."

And when they were come over, they went into the land of Gennesaret.

And [when] the men of that place recognized him, they sent [word] into that whole surrounding region, and they brought to him all those {who were sick}.

And they were imploring him that they might only touch the edge of his cloak, and all those who touched [it] were cured.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying,

Then the disciples came [and] said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended [when they] heard this saying?"

And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- 'Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

And great multitudes came to him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

So they were discussing [this] among themselves, saying, "[It is] because we did not take bread."

Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember those five loaves, when there were five thousand men, and how many baskets took ye up?

Neither the seven loaves, when there were four thousand, and how many baskets took ye up?

and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothes were as white as the light.

And, behold, Moses and Elias were seen to them, conversing with him.

Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is so good for us to be here. If you wish, I will build three [small] shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." [Note: Perhaps Peter wanted to provide quarters for the three to stay temporarily, thus prolonging the wonderful experience. In any event, he should not have done what suggested that Moses and Elijah were equal to Jesus].

And [when] the disciples heard [this], they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, "Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

And when they were come to the people, there came to him a certain man; and kneeled down to him, and said,

And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him."

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately [and] said, {Why} were we not able to expel it?"

"Because you have so little faith," he answered; "for, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you could say to this mountain 'Move from this place to that!' and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to you."

22 While they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,

Now [as] they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men,

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised." And they were extremely distressed.

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that were wont to gather poll money, came to Peter and said, "Doth your Master pay tribute?"

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal.

And if thine eye lead thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee, for it were better for thee to enter into life with one eye only, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

from whence the son of man is come, in order to save those that were lost.

And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost.

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

Large crowds followed Him there and were healed by Him.

They said to him, "Then why did Moses lay it down that we were to divorce by giving a separation-notice?"

For there are eunuchs who were born as such from [their] mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves [eunuchs] for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept [this], let him accept [it]."

Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

So [when] the disciples heard [this], they were extremely amazed, saying, "Then who can be saved?"

And when he went out at five o'clock he came upon some others who were standing; he said to them, 'Why have you stood doing nothing all the day?'

And they which were hired about the eleventh hour, came and received every man a penny.

And those who were hired first, when they came, supposed that they would receive more, but they too received twenty cents each.

and having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat.

When Jesus was on the point of going up to Jerusalem, he gathered the twelve disciples round him by themselves, and said to them as they were on their way:

And [when] the ten heard [this], they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

And [as] they were going out of Jericho, a large crowd followed him.

And behold, [there were] two blind men sitting beside the road. [When they] heard that Jesus was passing by, they called out, saying, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

And Jesus, being moved with pity, put his fingers on their eyes: and straight away they were able to see, and went after him.

When they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethpage, unto mount Olivet, then sent Jesus two of his disciples,

And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading [them] on the road.

And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"

And when He had come to Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up; they were asking, "Who is this man?"

And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!"

And Jesus entered the temple [courts] and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.

But [when] the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful [things] that he did, and the children shouting in the temple [courts] and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant.

were sore displeased, And said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yea: have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

And [when they] saw [it], the disciples were astonished, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?"

the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

For John came unto you, in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And yet ye, though ye saw it, were not yet moved with repentance; that ye might afterward have believed him.

The owner of the farm then sent additional slaves and they were treated the same way.

And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.

and sent forth his servants, to call them that were bid to the wedding: and they would not come.

Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.

But they were indifferent and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.

And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them.

Then he said to his servants, The feast is ready but the guests were not good enough.

And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.

But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.

So he said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding suit on?' But his lips were sealed.

So, they sent their disciples, [along] with the Herodians to Him [Note: These were members of a political party favoring King Herod], saying, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and that you teach the truth about God's way. You do not care for [i.e., do not fear or give in to] anyone or allow the position of any person to influence you.

And hearing it, they were full of wonder, and went away from him.

Some Sadducees [Note: These were the Jewish party that denied there was a resurrection] came to Jesus that day and asked Him,

Now there were among us seven brothers; and the first was married and at his death, having no seed, gave his wife to his brother;

Now whose wife will she be in the resurrected state, since all seven of them were married to her?"

And the people hearing it were surprised at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

Now while the Pharisees were together, Jesus put a question to them, saying,

Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven from men; for ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were coming in, ye suffer not to enter.

wo unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cummin, but neglect those more important matters of the law, justice, mercy, and fidelity: these were the things ye ought to have practis'd, without neglecting however the other matters.

"It is too bad for you hypocritical experts in the law of Moses and [you] Pharisees! For you construct burial sites for the prophets and decorate the tombs of people who were righteous.

and you say, If we were in the days of our fathers we would not have been their fellow-partakers in the blood of the prophets.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together {the way} a hen gathers her young together under [her] wings, and you were not willing!

And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved. But because of the chosen those days will be shortened.

for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall do great miracles and wonders. Insomuch that if it were possible, even the very elect should be deceived.

And as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man.

Because as in those days before the overflowing of the waters, they were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day when Noah went into the ark,
