After the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the reign of King Herod, some Astrologers from the East arrived in Jerusalem, asking:

Therefore, when presenting your gift at the altar, if even there you remember that your brother has some grievance against you,

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."

Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves: "This man is blaspheming!"

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

About the same time Jesus walked through the corn-fields one Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and began to pick some ears of wheat and eat them.

And there he saw a man with a withered hand. Some people asked Jesus whether it was allowable to work a cure on the Sabbath- -so that they might have a charge to bring against him.

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.

At this point, some Teachers of the Law and Pharisees interposed. "Teacher," they said, " we want to see some sign from you."

As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, having no depth of soil, sprang up at once.

Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.

Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.

For the mind of this nation has grown dense, And their ears are dull of hearing, Their eyes also have they closed; Lest some day they should perceive with their eyes, And with their ears they should hear, And in their mind they should understand, and should turn--And I should heal them.'

This was another parable which Jesus related-- "The Kingdom of Heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen."

The boat was by this time some miles from shore, laboring in the waves, for the wind was against her.

Then some Pharisees and Teachers of the Law came to Jesus, and said:

Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.

"Some say John the Baptist," they answered, "Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets."

I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Son of Man coming into his Kingdom."

Presently some Pharisees came up to him, and, to test him, said: "Has a man the right to divorce his wife for every cause?"

Some men, it is true, have from birth been disabled for marriage, while others have been disabled by their fellow men, and others again have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him accept it who can."

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.

On going out again, about nine o'clock, he saw some others standing in the market-place, doing nothing.

When he went out about five, he found some other men standing there, and said to them 'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'

The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.

While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.

A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.

A second time he sent some servants, with orders to say to those who had been invited 'I have prepared my breakfast, my cattle and fat beasts are killed and everything is ready; come to the banquet.'

That same day some Sadducees came up to Jesus, maintaining that there is no resurrection. Their question was this:--

That is why I send you Prophets, wise men, and Teachers of the Law, some of whom you will crucify and kill, and some of whom you will scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from town to town;

And the foolish said to the prudent 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'

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."

Then it was that these words spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled-- 'They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was valued, whom some of the people of Israel valued,

When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so: "I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves."

And having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. "Long life to you, King of the Jews!" they said.

they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.

Some of those standing by heard this, and said: "The man is calling for Elijah!"

While they were still on their way, some of the guard came into the city, and reported to the Chief Priests everything that had happened.

And, when they saw him, they bowed to the ground before him; although some felt doubtful.
