And he was there in the Wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels ministered to him.

And a great number, hearing of all that he was doing, came to him from Judea, from Jerusalem, from Edom, from beyond the Jordan, and from the country round Tyre and Sidon.

So Jesus called them to him, and answered them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?

So, if Satan is in revolt against himself and is divided, he cannot last--his end has come!

The People meant by the seed that falls along the path are these--where the Message is sown, but, as soon as they have heard it, Satan immediately comes and carries away the Message that has been sown in them.

On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.

On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns.

Jesus, however, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter. "Out of my sight, Satan!" he exclaimed. "For you look at things, not as God does, but as man does."

Have you never read this passage of Scripture?--'The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner- stone;

This corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes.'"

"Do you see these great buildings?" asked Jesus. "Not a single stone will be left here upon another, which shall not be thrown down."

Joseph, having bought a linen sheet, took Jesus down, and wound the sheet round him, and laid him in a tomb which had been cut out of the rock; and then rolled a stone up against the entrance of the tomb.

They were saying to one another: "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"

But, on looking up, they saw that the stone had already been rolled back; it was a very large one.
