and such a crowd gathered that after a while there was no room even around the door, and he was telling them his message.

As they could not get him near Jesus on account of the crowd, they broke open the roof just over his head, and through the opening they lowered the mat with the paralytic lying on it.

So Jesus retired with his disciples to the seashore, and a great many people from Galilee followed him, and from Judea

and Jerusalem and Idumea and from the other side of the Jordan and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon a great many who had heard of the things he was doing came to him.

He told his disciples to have a boat always ready for his use, to prevent his being crushed by the crowd.

And again the crowd gathered in such numbers that there was no chance for them even to have their meals.

There was a crowd sitting around him when they told him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."

Then he began again to teach by the seashore. And a crowd gathered around him so great that he got into a boat and sat in it, a little way from the shore, while all the people were on the land close to the water.

So they left the crowd and took him away in the boat in which he was sitting. There were other boats with him.

Then he awoke and reproved the wind, and said to the sea, "Hush! Silence!" And the wind went down and there was a great calm.

Now there was a great drove of pigs feeding there on the hillside.

When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him as he stood on the shore.

So he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and pressed around him.

and had had a great deal of treatment from various doctors and had spent all that she had and had not been benefited at all but had actually grown worse,

had heard about Jesus. And she came up in the crowd behind him and touched his coat,

Jesus instantly perceived that healing power had passed from him, and he turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

His disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?' "

and he immediately sent one of his guard with orders to get John's head.

So when he got out of the boat, he found a great crowd gathered, and his heart was touched at the sight of them, because they were like sheep that have no shepherd; and he proceeded to teach them a great deal.

He immediately had his disciples get into the boat and cross before him to the other side toward Bethsaida, while he was dismissing the crowd.

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples asked him what he meant by this figure.

greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, abusiveness, arrogance, folly??23 all these evils come from inside, and they pollute a man."

He took him off by himself away from the crowd, and put his fingers in the man's ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.

In those days when a great crowd had gathered again and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them,

And he warned them, saying, "Look out! Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

One of the crowd answered, "Master, I brought my son to you, for he is possessed by a dumb spirit,

Then Jesus, seeing that a crowd was rapidly gathering, reproved the foul spirit and said to it, "You deaf and dumb spirit, get out of him, I charge you, and never enter him again!"

And whoever causes one of these humble believers to fall might better have a great millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea.

But his face fell at Jesus' words, and he went away much cast down, for he had a great deal of property.

And Jesus called them to him, and said to them, "You know that those who are supposed to rule the heathen lord it over them, and their great men tyrannize over them;

but it is not to be so among you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

And they came to Jericho. As he was leaving the town with his disciples and a great crowd, Timaeus' son Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.

Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left here upon another that shall not be torn down."

But you must be on your guard; they will hand you over to courts and you will be taken into synagogues and beaten, and you will be brought before governors and kings on my account, to testify to them.

But you must be on your guard; I have told you all about it beforehand.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory,

Just at that moment, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, from the high priests, scribes, and elders.

And a crowd of people came up and started to ask him for the usual favor.

But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to set Barabbas free for them instead.

And as Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, he set Barabbas free for them, and after having Jesus flogged handed him over to be crucified.
