The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."

Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'

When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, "You are the Son of God!"

A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, "Behold, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside looking for you."

He answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"

He said to them, "To you is given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."

It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, don't you care that we are dying?"

He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?"

He asked him, "What is your name?" He said to him, "My name is Legion, for we are many."

Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

He said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"

Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

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

Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

But many who are first will be last; and the last first."

"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."

Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"

When they had come, they asked him, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don't defer to anyone; for you aren't partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." They marveled greatly at him.

Jesus answered them, "Isn't this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

But about the dead, that they are raised; haven't you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken."

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.

He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, "Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

"Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places. There will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginning of birth pains.

But when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,

But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days!

He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?

But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

But he denied it, saying, "I neither know, nor understand what you are saying." He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.

But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, "You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it."

Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."
