And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.

Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her.

For he had healed many, so that all those who {were suffering from diseases} pressed about him in order that they could touch him.

And when he was alone, those around him together with the twelve began asking him about the parables.

And he permitted them. And the unclean spirits came out [and] entered into the pigs, and the herd--about two thousand--rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.

And those who had seen [it] described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man, and about the pigs.

[When she] heard about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind [him] [and] touched his cloak,

They ran about [through] that whole region and began to carry around those {who were sick} on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was.

So he said to them, "Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far, far away from me.

And when he entered into the house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.

But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, [when she] heard about him, came [and] fell down at his feet,

Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

And he asked them, "What are you arguing [about] with them?"

But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way [about] who [was] greatest.

And when you hear about wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must happen, but the end [is] not yet.

For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It would be] better for him if that man had not been born."

And their testimony was not even consistent about this.

And he began to curse and to swear with an oath, "I do not know this man whom you are talking about!"
