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."

He asked them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?

He did not tell them anything without using a parable, though he explained everything to his disciples in private.

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?"

He entered the house and asked them, "Why all this confusion and crying? The child isn't dead. She's sleeping."

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!

King Herod heard about this, because Jesus' name had become well-known. He was saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That's why he is able to do these miracles."

because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John, he did much of what he said. In fact, he liked listening to him.

He sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, "Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation."

When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?" They told him, "Twelve."

"When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many large baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?" They told him, "Seven."

On their way down the mountain, Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

They kept the matter to themselves but argued about what "rising from the dead" meant.

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

because he was teaching his disciples, "The Son of Man will be betrayed into human hands. They will kill him, but after being dead for three days he will be raised."

"What did Moses command you?" he responded.

because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

Then the second married her and died without having children, and so did the third.

When people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.

As for the dead being raised, haven't you read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush, how God said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

Jesus told him, "I tell you with certainty, today, this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you'll deny me three times."

So the crowd came and began to request that Pilate do for them what he always did.

Pilate was amazed to hear that Jesus had already died, so he summoned the centurion to ask him if he was in fact dead.

When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he let Joseph have the corpse.
