John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

He was preaching: “Someone more powerful than I will come after me. I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.

As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove.

And a voice came from heaven:

You are My beloved Son;
I take delight in You!

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!”

“What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

But Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

And the unclean spirit convulsed him, shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.

When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all those who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.

And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.”

Then a man with a serious skin disease came to Him and, on his knees, begged Him: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Yet he went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But He was out in deserted places, and they would come to Him from everywhere.

Then they came to Him bringing a paralytic, carried by four men.

When Jesus heard this, He told them, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. People came and asked Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

But the time will come when the groom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him because they heard about everything He was doing.

Then He went up the mountain and summoned those He wanted, and they came to Him.

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul in Him!” and, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons!”

Then His mother and His brothers came, and standing outside, they sent word to Him and called Him.

As he sowed, this occurred: Some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

When the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it didn’t have a root, it withered.

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it didn’t produce a crop.

For nothing is concealed except to be revealed, and nothing hidden except to come to light.

But as soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

On that day, when evening had come, He told them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea.”

Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.

As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him.

For He had told him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”

And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been demon-possessed by the legion, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet

and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.”

Having heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His robe.

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”

They came to the leader’s house, and He saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly.

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

He went away from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples followed Him.

When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these things?” they said. “What is this wisdom given to Him, and how are these miracles performed by His hands?

Now an opportune time came on his birthday, when Herod gave a banquet for his nobles, military commanders, and the leading men of Galilee.

When Herodias’s own daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

When his disciples heard about it, they came and removed his corpse and placed it in a tomb.

He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.

He saw them being battered as they rowed, because the wind was against them. Around three in the morning He came toward them walking on the sea and wanted to pass by them.

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and beached the boat.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Him.

When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.)

Nothing that goes into a person from outside can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.

For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,

All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”

Instead, immediately after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit came and fell at His feet.

If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a long distance.”

The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, demanding of Him a sign from heaven to test Him.

Then they came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.

Then He said to them, “I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”

A cloud appeared, overshadowing them, and a voice came from the cloud:

This is My beloved Son;
listen to Him!

Then they began to question Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

“Elijah does come first and restores everything,” He replied. “How then is it written about the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

But I tell you that Elijah really has come, and they did whatever they pleased to him, just as it is written about him.”

When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.

When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly coming together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!”

Then it came out, shrieking and convulsing him violently. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He’s dead.”

And He told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer [and fasting].”

Then they came to Capernaum. When He was in the house, He asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”

When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Then, looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

who will not receive 100 times more, now at this time—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and eternal life in the age to come.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life—a ransom for many.”

They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

He threw off his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

The next day when they came out from Bethany, He was hungry.

After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

They came to Jerusalem, and He went into the temple complex and began to throw out those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of those selling doves,

And whenever evening came, they would go out of the city.

They came again to Jerusalem. As He was walking in the temple complex, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came

“But those tenant farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’

“Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers and give the vineyard to others.

This came from the Lord
and is wonderful in our eyes?”

When they came, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know You are truthful and defer to no one, for You don’t show partiality but teach truthfully the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?

Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and questioned Him:

And a poor widow came and dropped in two tiny coins worth very little.

Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will deceive many.

A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house.

Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping.

While He was in Bethany at the house of Simon who had a serious skin disease, as He was reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of pure and expensive fragrant oil of nard. She broke the jar and poured it on His head.

When evening came, He arrived with the Twelve.

Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

Then He came and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter. “Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?

And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.

Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi!”—and kissed Him.

But Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal, to capture Me?

While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the high priest’s servants came.

The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.

Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him were taunting Him.

When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

When He was in Galilee, they would follow Him and help Him. Many other women had come up with Him to Jerusalem.
