And when they were gone, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

It is true when I tell you, among [all] those born of women, no one greater than John the Immerser has come along. Yet the least significant person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, men said 'He has a demon in him';

Then Jesus began to rebuke the people of the towns where most of His powerful miracles were performed because they did not repent [when they saw Him perform them].

But [when] the Pharisees saw [it], they said to him, "Behold, your disciples are doing what it is not permitted to do on the Sabbath!"

So he said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him,

Have you not read in the Law that the priests in the temple are not guilty when they desecrate the sabbath?

And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

Then Jesus said to the man "Reach out your hand." And when he stretched it out, it became normal, just like the other one.

The man stretched it out, and it had become sound like the other. But when the Pharisees came out, they consulted together how they might destroy him.

Now Jesus, [when he] learned of [it], withdrew from there, and many followed him, and he healed them all.

This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

But the Pharisees, [when they] heard [it], said, "This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!"

Now when Jesus realized what they were thinking, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and no town or house divided against itself will stand.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say good things [when you] are evil? For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them -- and now, something greater than Jonah is here!

But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find it.

Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came out.' And [when it] arrives it finds [the house] unoccupied and swept and put in order.

While He was still talking to the crowds, it happened that His mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to Him.

That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the Sea,

when a vast multitude of people crowded round Him. He therefore went on board a boat and sat there, while all the people stood on the shore.

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

But [when] the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have [enough] root, it withered.

Now when his disciples came up to him, they said,

For this reason I speak to them in parables; because when they see, they see not; and when they hear, they hear not, nor do they understand.

For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, - lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the gospel-kingdom,

[When] anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand [it], the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is what was sown on the side of the path.

But he does not have a root in himself, but {lasts only a little while}, and [when] affliction or persecution happens because of the word, immediately he falls away.

So when the {wheat} sprouted and yielded grain, then the darnel appeared also.

But he said, "No, lest [when you] gather the darnel you uproot the wheat together with it.

Let them both grow together until harvest time, and when we harvest I will direct the reapers to gather up the weeds first and tie them up in bundles to burn, but get the wheat into my barn.' "

{It} is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it is grown it is larger than the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches."

This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth to speak in parables. I will declare what has been hidden since the creation of the world."

When He had dismissed the people and had returned to the house, His disciples came to Him with the request, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel sown in the field."

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

And [when he] found one very valuable pearl, he went [and] sold everything that he possessed and purchased it.

which when it was filled they pulled to shore and sat down [and] collected the good [fish] into containers, but the bad they threw out.

And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables he went away from there.

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

But [when] Herod's birthday celebration took place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst [of them] and pleased Herod.

When John's disciples came, they carried off the body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

Now [when] Jesus heard [it], he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And [when] the crowds heard [it], they followed him by land from the towns.

So when he landed he saw a great multitude, and felt compassion for them, and healed their sick.

Now [when it] was evening, the disciples came to him saying, "The place is desolate and the hour {is late}. Release the crowds so that they can go away into the villages [and] purchase food for themselves."

And [after he] sent away the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. So [when] evening came, he was there alone.

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

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

But [when he] saw the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"

And [when] they got into the boat, the wind abated.

And when they were gone over, they came 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}.

"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat {a meal}."

For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answering said, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God thro' your tradition?

You hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,

Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.

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

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

When he left there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a mountain, where he sat down.

So then the crowd was astonished [when they] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

So when he had summoned the crowd, and seated them upon the ground,

and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and when He had given thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the people.

When he had sent the crowds away, he got into the boat and came into the region of Magadan.

And [when] the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test [him], they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

So he answered [and] said to them, "[When] evening comes you say, '[It will be] fair weather because the sky is red,'

and in the morning, a foul day: when the sky is of a dusky red. hypocrites, can ye judge of the appearance of the sky, and yet not discern the signs of these times?

And [when] the disciples arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

and therefore when Jesus said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the pharisees and of the sadducees,

When Jesus knew it he said: "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no 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?

How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread, when I said, keep on guarding yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees?"

Now [when] Jesus came to the region of Caesarea {Philippi}, he began asking his disciples, saying, "Who do people say [that] the Son of Man is?"

It is true when I tell you, some of those standing here will not die before they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom."

He was still speaking when a bright cloud suddenly overshadowed them. A voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him. Keep on listening to him!"

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

And [when they] lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him--Jesus alone.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

Bring him here to me. And when Jesus rebuked him, the demon departed out of him, and the child was cured from that time.

Afterward, when he was alone, the disciples went to Jesus and said to him, "Why could we not drive it out?"

When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.

and they will kill Him, but on the third day He will be raised up [from the dead]." And they were very grieved [when they heard this].

Now [when] they arrived in Capernaum, the ones who collected the double drachma [tax] came up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the double drachma [tax]?"

He said, "Yes." And [when he] came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tolls or taxes--from their own sons, or from foreigners?"

And [when he] said, "From foreigners," Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free.

But so that we do not give offense to them, go out to the sea, cast [a line with] a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. And [when you] open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take that [and] give [it] to them for me and you."

When he had called a little child to him, Jesus set him among them, and answered.

"How does it seem to you, when a man has a hundred sheep and loses one of them? Will he not leave the ninety and nine on the hills, to go and search for the one that has strayed?

"If your brother sins, go and show him his fault when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother.

Then Peter came up, and said to Jesus: "Master, how often am I to forgive my Brother when he wrongs me? As many as seven times?"

And [when] he began to settle [them], someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.

"But when that servant went away, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him, seized him by the throat, and said, "Pay what you owe!'

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

Upon that the master sent for the servant, and said to him 'You wicked servant! When you begged me for mercy, I forgave you the whole of that debt.

When Jesus finished saying this he moved from Galilee and went to the territory of Judaea that lies across the Jordan.
