And knowing [this], he said to them, "Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?

And he said unto them, "How is it that ye understand not?"

And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a blind man and implored him that he would touch him.

And having looked up, he said, The men that I see, I see as trees walking.

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

so he sent him home, with a charge not to go into the town, nor mention it to any body belonging to that place.

And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

And they told him, saying, "John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that [you are] one of the prophets."

And he asked them, "But who do you say [that] I am?" Peter answered [and] said to him, "You are the Christ!"

And he warned them that they should tell no one about him.

And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him aside, and began to chide him.

But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

Then addressing himself to the people, and his disciples, he said, he that desires to be under my conduct, let him renounce himself, and follow me.

for he that would save his life, shall lose it; and he that would lose his life out of love to me and the gospel, he shall save it.

For what could a man give that is of equal value with his life?

And he said to them, "Truly I say to you, that there are some of those standing here who will never experience death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power."

and His clothes were shining as white as white could be, yea, whiter than any earthly bleacher could bleach them.

And Peter answered [and] said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good [that] we are here! And let us make three shelters, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah."

And there was a cloud that shadowed them. And a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is my dear son, hear him."

And suddenly, they looked round about them and saw no man, more than Jesus only with them.

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

And they kept that saying, questioning among themselves, what rising from among the dead was.

And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

And one [individual] from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son who has {a spirit that makes him mute}.

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes paralyzed. And I told your disciples that they should expel it, and they were not able [to do so].

They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able [to do] anything, have compassion on us [and] help us!"

And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is if thou couldst believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?

And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, "The son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and after that he is killed he shall arise again the third day."

But they wist not what that saying meant, and were afraid to ask him.

And he came to Capernaum, and when he was come to house, he asked them, "What was it that ye disputed between you by the way?"

then sitting down, he address'd himself to the twelve, saying, he that would be the first, must be the last of all, and the servant of all.

Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

But Jesus said, "Forbid him not. For there is no man that shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

For he that is not against us, is on our part.

For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in [my] name because you are Christ's, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, that believe in me: it were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.

And if your hand is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off; it is better for you to go into life with one hand than to have two hands and go into hell, into the eternal fire.

45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell.

And if your foot is a cause of trouble to you, let it be cut off: it is better for you to go into life with one foot than to have two feet and go into hell.

47 If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell,

And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out: it is better for you to go into the kingdom of God with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into hell,

where the worm that feeds upon them never dies and the fire is never put out.

such a one shall be consumed by fire, but the offering that is salted shall be preserv'd from corruption.

Salt is good. But if the salt be unsavoury: what shall ye salt therewith? See that ye have salt in yourselves. And have peace among yourselves, one with another."

And he rose from thence, and went into the coasts of Jewry, through the region that is beyond Jordan. And the people resorted unto him afresh: And as he was wont he taught them again.

And the Pharisees came to him, and that they might tempt him, asked him the question: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

But Jesus said to them, "It was due to your moral perversity that Moses wrote that command in your law.

That's why "a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of that matter.

And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

When Jesus saw that, he was displeased, and said to them, "Suffer the children to come unto me and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

I declare unto you, he that shall pretend to be admitted into the kingdom of God, and has not the temper of a little child, shall not enter therein.

And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one [thing]: Go, sell all that you have, and give [the proceeds] to the poor--and you will have treasure in heaven--and come, follow me."

But he was discomforted with that saying, and went away mourning, for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God!

It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

at this they were more amazed than before, and said to one another, how then can such a man be saved?

"Remember," said Peter to Him, "that we forsook everything and have become your followers."

Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's,

that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.

Many that are first, shall be last. And the last, first."

Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on ahead of them. And they were astounded, but those who were following [him] were afraid. And taking aside the twelve again, he began to tell them the things that were about to happen to him:

And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

And he said to them, "What do you want that I do for you?"

So they said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit one at your right hand and one at [your] left in your glory."

But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

And they said to him, "We are able." So Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,

Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John.

And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

And many [people] warned him that he should be quiet. But he was crying out {even more loudly}, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

So, Jesus stopped and said, "Call that man [to me]." Then the crowd called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up, Jesus is calling you."

And Jesus answered him [and] said, "What do you want {me to do} for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may regain [my] sight."

When they were getting near Jerusalem, that is, were at Bethphage and Bethany in front of the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples on ahead,

and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither.

And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither."

And divers of them that stood there, said unto them, "What do ye loosing the colt?"

But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

Many people spread their coats on the road, while others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed be he that comes in the Lord's name.

Blessed be the kingdom that cometh in the name of him that is Lord of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."

And [when he] saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went [to see] if perhaps he would find anything on it. And [when he] came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
