Then a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you!"

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked him. "Be quiet," he ordered, "and come out of him!"

At this, the unclean spirit shook the man, cried out with a loud voice, and came out of him.

When evening came, after the sun had set, people started bringing to him everyone who was sick or possessed by demons.

"Let's go to the neighboring town," he replied, "so I can preach there, too, because that's why I came."

Then a leper came to Jesus and began pleading with him. He fell on his knees and told him, "If you want to, you can make me clean."

when some people came and brought him a paralyzed man being carried by four men.

When Jesus heard that, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick ones do. I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees would fast regularly. Some people came and asked Jesus, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day."

He told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Come forward."

Jerusalem, Idumea, from across the Jordan, and from the region around Tyre and Sidon followed him. They came to him because they kept hearing about everything he was doing.

As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.

But when the sun came up, they were scorched. Since they didn't have any roots, they dried up.

Others fell among thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes came up and choked them out, and they didn't produce anything.

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

A violent windstorm came up, and the waves began breaking into the boat, so that the boat was rapidly becoming swamped.

Just as Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met him.

Jesus had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down a steep slope into the sea and drowned there.

When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader's home and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?"

When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw mass confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

He took her by the hand and told her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Young lady, I tell you, get up!"

When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were utterly amazed. "Where did this man get all these things?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What great miracles are being done by his hands!

An opportunity came during Herod's birthday celebration, when he gave a banquet for his top officials, military officers, and the most important people of Galilee.

When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. So the king told the girl, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you."

When John's disciples heard about this, they came and carried off his body and laid it in a tomb.

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

When it was quite late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late.

When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while he was alone on the land.

He saw that his disciples were straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he came to them, walking on the sea. He intended to go up right beside them,

When they had crossed over, they came ashore at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.

So they asked him, "Don't the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet people treated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him."

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that won't let him talk or hear I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!"

The spirit screamed, shook the child violently, and came out. The boy was like a corpse, and many said that he was dead.

When Jesus came home, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive the spirit out?"

He told them, "This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting."

Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, "What were you arguing about on the road?"

Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

They came and told him, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere. You don't favor any individual, because you pay no attention to external appearance. Rather, you teach the way of God truthfully. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or shouldn't we?"

Then some Sadducees, who claim there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him,

Then one of the scribes came near and heard the Sadducees arguing with one another. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of them all?"
