But these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred."

Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

After saying good-bye to them, he went to the mountain to pray.

And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

For I tell you the truth, whoever gives you a cup of water because you bear Christ's name will never lose his reward.

As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, "You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Jesus said to them, "Aren't you deceived for this reason, because you don't know the scriptures or the power of God?

And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.

He called his disciples and said to them, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the offering box than all the others.

Pray that it may not be in winter.

Then everyone will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.

Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.

It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!" So they spoke angrily to her.

For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me!

Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

"I am," said Jesus, "and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven."
