and as they could not get near Jesus on account of the crowd they tore up the roof under which he stood and through the opening they lowered the pallet on which the paralytic lay.

Then he went out again by the seaside, and all the crowd came to him and he taught them.

So he told his disciples to have a small boat ready; it was to prevent him being crushed by the crowd,

but the crowd gathered again, so that it was impossible even to have a meal.

there was a crowd sitting round him, and he was told, "Here are your mother and brothers and sisters wanting you outside."

Once more he proceeded to teach by the seaside, and a crowd gathered round him greater than ever, so he entered a boat on the sea and sat down, while all the crowd stayed on shore.

so, leaving the crowd, they took him just as he was in the boat, accompanied by some other boats.

And he woke up, checked the wind, and told the sea, "Peace, be quiet." The wind fell and there was a great calm.

Now when Jesus had crossed in the boat to the other side again, a large crowd gathered round him; so he remained beside the sea.

So Jesus went away with him. Now a large crowd followed him; they pressed round him.

And there was a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years ??26 she had suffered a great deal under a number of doctors and had spent all her means but was none the better; in fact she was rather worse.

She heard about Jesus, got behind him in the crowd, and touched his robe;

Jesus was at once conscious that some healing virtue had passed from him, so he turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

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

so the king at once sent one of the guard with orders to bring his head. The man went and beheaded him in the prison,

So when Jesus disembarked he saw a large crowd, and out of pity for them, as they were like sheep without a shepherd, he proceeded to teach them at length.

Then he made the disciples at once embark in the boat and cross before him towards Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd;

Then he called the crowd to him again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand this:

Now when he went indoors away from the crowd, his disciples asked him the meaning of this parabolic saying.

So taking him aside from the crowd by himself, he put his fingers into the man's ears, touched his tongue with saliva,

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

"I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat.

So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground, and taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out. They served them out to the crowd,

And he proceeded to teach them that the Son of man had to endure great suffering, to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes, to be killed and after three days to rise again;

Then he called the crowd to him with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and so follow me;

He said to them, "Elijah does come first, to restore all things; but what is written about the Son of man as well? This, that he is to endure great suffering and be rejected.

When they reached the disciples they saw a large crowd round them, and some scribes arguing with them.

On seeing him the whole crowd was thunderstruck and ran to greet him.

A man from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you; he has a dumb spirit,

Now as Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, he checked the unclean spirit. "Deaf and dumb spirit," he said, "leave him, I command you, and never enter him again."

And whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck and be thrown into the sea.

But his face fell at that, and he went sadly away, for he had great possessions.

so Jesus called them and said, "You know the so-called rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men overbear them:

not so with you. Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a considerable crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind beggar who sat beside the road,

They came up and said to him, "Teacher, we know you are sincere and fearless; you do not court human favour, you teach the Way of God honestly. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

Jesus said to him, "You see these great buildings? Not a stone shall be left on another, without being torn down."

Then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Now when he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, lying at table, a woman came up with an alabaster flask of pure nard perfume, which had cost a great sum; the flask she broke and poured the perfume over his head.

So the crowd pressed up and started to ask him for his usual boon.

But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Bar-Abbas for them instead.

So, as Pilate wanted to satisfy the crowd, he released Bar-Abbas for them; Jesus he handed over to be crucified, after he had scourged him.
