But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.

He lived among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain.

He had often been restrained with shackles and chains, but had snapped the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one could tame him.

They could wear sandals but not take along an extra shirt.

His disciples answered him, "Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?"

and his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach them.

Then a cloud appeared and overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I love. Keep on listening to him!"

Jesus told him, "Go. Your faith has made you well." At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.

and told them, "Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you go into it, you will find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it, and bring it along.

So they went and found the colt outside in the street tied up next to a doorway. While they were untying it,

some men standing there asked them, "What are you doing untying that colt?"

They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their coats on it, and he sat on it.

Seeing in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing except leaves because it wasn't the season for figs.

This perfume could have been sold for more than 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute." So they got extremely angry with her.

She has done what she could. She poured perfume on my body in preparation for my burial.

When he went back, he found his disciples asleep. "Simon, are you asleep?" he asked Peter. "You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?

Again he came back and found them asleep, because they could not keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.
