And a great number were seated round him; and they said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.

And he said in answer, Who are my mother and my brothers?

And he said to them, To you is given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are given in the form of stories;

And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

And others are those planted among the thorns; these are they who have given ear to the word,

And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

And he himself was in the back of the boat, sleeping on the cushion: and they, awaking him, said, Master, is it nothing to you that we are in danger of destruction?

And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

Whoever gives you a cup of water, because you are Christ's, truly I say to you, he will in no way be without his reward.

But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

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.

And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

Say when these things will be, and what will be the sign when these things are all about to be done.

And Jesus said to them, Take care that you are not tricked by anyone.

Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.

And when you are taken and given up to be judged, do not be troubled about what to say: but whatever is given to you in that hour, say: because it is not you who say it, but the Holy Spirit.

But when you see the unclean thing which makes destruction, in the place where it has no right to be (let this be clear to the reader), then let those who are in Judaea go quickly to the mountains:

And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.

And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?

But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.

But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking.

And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.

And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!

They will take up snakes, and if there is poison in their drink, it will do them no evil; they will put their hands on those who are ill, and they will get well.
