The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, yea light dawned on those who sat in the land and the shadow of death.

And he was followed by great crowds from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from across the Jordan.

Therefore whoever relaxes a single one of these commands, were it even one of the least, and teaches men so, he will be ranked least in the Realm of heaven; but whoever obeys them and teaches them, he will be ranked great in the Realm of heaven.)

Be quick and make terms with your opponent, so long as you and he are on the way to court, in case he hands you over to the judge, and the judge to the jailer, and you are thrown into prison;

nor by earth, for it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King;

He said to them, "Why are you afraid? How little you trust God!" Then he got up and checked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast a great deal, and your disciples do not fast?"

Now when Jesus reached the official's house and saw the flute-players and the din the crowd were making,

But after the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand, and the girl rose up.

and when the daemon had been cast out, the dumb man spoke. Then the crowd marvelled; they said, "Such a thing has never been seen in Israel!"

but, as great crowds gathered to him, he entered a boat and sat down, while all the crowd stood on the beach.

So when he disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them he healed their sick folk.

Then he called the crowd and said to them, "Listen, understand this:

At that Jesus replied, "O woman, you have great faith; your prayer is granted as you wish." And from that hour her daughter was cured.

This made the crowd wonder, to see dumb people speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing.

Then Jesus called his disciples and said, "I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat. I will not send them away starving, in case they faint on the road."

The disciples said to him, "Where are we to get loaves enough in a desert to satisfy such a crowd?"

So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground.

Then he sent the crowd away, got into the boat and went to the territory of Magadan.

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem and endure great suffering at the hands of the elders and high priests and scribes, and be killed and raised on the third day.

When they reached the crowd, a man came up and knelt to him.

But whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe in me, better for him to have a great mill-stone hung round his neck and be sunk in the deep sea.

When the young man heard that, he went sadly away, for he had great possessions.

but Jesus called them and said, "You know the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men overbear them:

not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

As they were leaving Jericho a crowd followed him,

The crowd checked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "O Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!"

and the greater part of the crowd spread their clothes on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road.

And if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet."

They sent him their disciples with the Herodians, who said, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and that you teach the Way of God honestly and fearlessly; you do not court human favour.

for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, ??if that were possible.

Then the Sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven; then all tribes on earth will wail, they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with great power and glory.

But, to Pilate's great astonishment, he would not answer him a single word.

At festival time the governor was in the habit of releasing any one prisoner whom the crowd chose.

Now when Pilate saw that instead of him doing any good a riot was rising, he took some water and washed his hands in presence of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this good man's blood. It is your affair!"

Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers, go and make it as secure as you can."

So off they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the boulder and setting the guard.

But a great earthquake took place; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and went and rolled away the boulder and sat on it.

Then they ran quickly from the tomb in fear and great joy, to announce the news to his disciples.
