But, hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as King of Judea, he was afraid to go back there; and having been warned in a dream, he went into the part of the country called Galilee.

When, however, John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to receive his baptism, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who has prompted you to seek refuge from the coming judgment?

And the Tempter came to him, and said: "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread."

But Jesus answered: "Scripture says--'It is not on bread alone that man is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

And his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain--any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.

If your right eye is a snare to you, take it out and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it thrown into the Pit.

And, if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it go down to the Pit.

Give us to-day the bread that we shall need;

Go in by the small gate. Broad and spacious is the road that leads to destruction, and those that go in by it are many;

In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, And cured all who were ill,

And there some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: "Courage, Child! Your sins are forgiven."

The report of this spread through all that part of the country.

But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.

Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;

And you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, that you may witness for me before them and the nations.

How he went into the House of God, and how they ate the consecrated bread, through it was not allowable for him or his companions to eat it, but only for the priests?

A bruised reed he will not break, And a smoldering wick he will not quench, Till he has brought the judgment to a victorious issue,

Then some people brought to Jesus a possessed man, who was blind and dumb; and he cured him, so that the man who had been dumb both talked and saw.

You brood of vipers! how can you, evil as you are, say anything good? For what fills the heart will rise to the lips.

Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their Synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. "Where did he get this wisdom?" they said, "and the miracles?

And his head was brought on a dish and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.

But the people of that place, recognizing Jesus, sent out to the whole country round, and brought to him all who were ill,

"Where can we," his disciples asked, "in a lonely place find enough bread for such a crowd as this?"

Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.

But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.

On noticing this, Jesus said: "Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, O men of little faith?

How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and there was a voice from the cloud that said-- "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight; him you must hear."

I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him."

When he had begun to do so, one of them was brought to him who owed him six million pounds;

Then some little children were brought to Jesus, for him to place his hands on them, and pray; but the disciples found fault with those who had brought them.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! She who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her--Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not came!

The man who had received the three thousand pounds came up and brought three thousand more. 'Sir,' he said, 'you entrusted me with three thousand pounds; look, I have made another three thousand!'

On the first day of the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, the disciples came up to Jesus, and said: "Where do you wish us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

"The one who dipped his bread beside me in the dish," replied Jesus, "is the one who will betray me.

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and, after saying the blessing, broke it and, as he gave it to his disciples, said: "Take it and eat it; this is my body."

Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. "Are you the King of the Jews?" asked the Governor. "It is true," answered Jesus.

While charges were being brought against him by the Chief Priests and Councillors, Jesus made no reply.
