And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

They were all amazed so that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him."

He came and raised her up by gently taking her hand. Then the fever left her and she began to serve them.

Then Jesus got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.

Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Stand up, take your stretcher, and walk'?

"I tell you, stand up, take your stretcher, and go home."

And immediately the man stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax booth. "Follow me," he said to him. And he got up and followed him.

So he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Stand up among all these people."

Now Jesus went up the mountain and called for those he wanted, and they came to him.

But no one is able to enter a strong man's house and steal his property unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can thoroughly plunder his house.

Other seed fell on rocky ground where it did not have much soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep.

When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, it withered.

Other seed fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.

He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.

when it is sown, it grows up, becomes the greatest of all garden plants, and grows large branches so that the wild birds can nest in its shade."

But he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are about to die?"

So he got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Be quiet! Calm down!" Then the wind stopped, and it was dead calm.

They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, "Who then is this? Even the wind and sea obey him!"

Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

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

Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up."

The girl got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely astonished at this.

He swore to her, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom."

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to his disciples to serve the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.

and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full.

Then he went up with them into the boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely astonished,

He also said to them, "You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.

Then he looked up to heaven and said with a sigh, "Ephphatha" (that is, "Be opened").

Everyone ate and was satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?" They replied, "Twelve."

"When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?" They replied, "Seven."

Then Jesus called the crowd, along with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately. And he was transfigured before them,

But Jesus gently took his hand and raised him to his feet, and he stood up.

Now as Jesus was starting out on his way, someone ran up to him, fell on his knees, and said, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles.

Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man and said to him, "Have courage! Get up! He is calling you."

He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

I tell you the truth, if someone says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

They came again to Jerusalem. While Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came up to him

For nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines. These are but the beginning of birth pains.

He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer is approaching!"

When Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him.

And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest's courtyard. He was sitting with the guards and warming himself by the fire.

Some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?"

Early in the morning, after forming a plan, the chief priests with the elders and the experts in the law and the whole Sanhedrin tied Jesus up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom.

But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead.

When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were there too.

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled back.

they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well."

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
