When the messengers had taken their leave, Jesus proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in 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, he did not eat or drink [on festive occasions] and people said, 'He is dominated by an evil spirit.'

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 unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were 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.

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

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

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

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.

You brood of vipers, how can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

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!

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

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:

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

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 kingdom,

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares 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.' "

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

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.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

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 was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

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

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt [profound] compassion for them and healed their sick.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for 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 wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

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 (play-actors, pretenders), rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,

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

Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou 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.

Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified 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.

And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

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

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

And when the sky is reddish and overcast in the morning, you predict [that it will be] bad weather that day. You know how to interpret [weather] conditions from the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times [i.e., what will happen in the spiritual realm]"]}]}.

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

and when Jesus said to them, "See to it: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,"

Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought 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?

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

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 luminous cloud spread over them; and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said, "This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight. Listen to Him."

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

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 were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed and handed over to men [who are His enemies];

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].

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.

Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

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 acts wrongly towards you, go and point out his fault to him when only you and he are there. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

Then Peter came and said to Jesus, "Lord, how often must I forgive my brother when he sins against me? As many as seven times?"

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him 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 fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

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.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
