Now there was in their Synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out:

In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus rose and went out, and, going to a lonely spot, there began to pray.

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth"--here he said to the paralyzed man--

And with power to drive out demons.

And, as soon as Jesus had got out of the boat, he met a man coming out of the tombs, who was under the power of a foul spirit,

Jesus at once became aware of the power that had gone out from him, and, turning round in the crowd, he said: "Who touched my clothes?"

After he had taken leave of the people, he went away up the hill to pray.

"I tell you," he added, "that some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come in power."

Jesus looked at the man, and his heart went out to him, and he said: "There is still one thing wanting in you; go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall heave wealth in Heaven; then come and follow me."

And, whenever you stand up to pray, forgive any grievance that you have against any one, that your Father who is in Heaven also may forgive you your offenses."

"Is not the reason of your mistake," answered Jesus, "your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God?

But one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.

On this, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said: "I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;

See to yourselves! They will betray you to courts of law; and you will be taken to Synagogues and beaten; and you will be brought up before governors and kings for my sake, that you may bear witness before them.

Pray, too, that this may not occur in winter.

Then will be seen the 'Son of Man coming in clouds' with great power and glory;

This perfume could have been sold for more than thirty pounds, and the money given to the poor."

You always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you will not always have me.

Presently they came to a garden known as Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples "Sit down here while I pray."

Going on a little further, he threw himself on the ground, and began to pray that, if it were possible, he might be spared that hour.

Watch and pray," he said to them all, "that you may not fall into temptation. True, the spirit is eager, but human nature is weak."
