He touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and began to serve them.

So they came and woke him up saying, "Lord, save us! We are about to die!"

But he said to them, "Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm.

And he stood up and went home.

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. "Follow me," he said to him. And he got up and followed him.

Jesus and his disciples got up and followed him.

But a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.

But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and gently took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

Other seeds fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil. They sprang up quickly because the soil was not deep.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.

Other seeds fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked them.

Then he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.

They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, twelve baskets full.

And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

When they went up into the boat, the wind ceased.

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

They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside privately and said to them on the way,

Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen.

Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

Then the king said to his attendants, 'Tie him up hand and foot and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!'
