And he healed many {who were sick} with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he had need and he and those [who were] with him were hungry--

And other [seed] fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up at once, because it did not have [any] depth of soil.

And when the sun rose it was scorched, and because it did not have [enough] root, it withered.

And other [seed] fell among the thorn plants, and the thorn plants came up and choked it, and it did not produce grain.

And he did not speak to them without a parable, but in private he explained everything to his own disciples.

And he did not permit him, but said to him, "Go to your home to your [people] and tell them all that the Lord has done for you, and [that] he has had mercy on you."

And he did not allow anyone to follow along with him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And [when he] entered, he said to them, "Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping."

And [when] the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard [him] were amazed, saying, "Where did this man [get] these [things]? And what [is] this wisdom that has been granted to this man, and the miracles such as these performed through his hands?

And King Herod heard [it], because his name had become known. And they were saying, "John, the one who baptizes, has been raised from the dead, and because of this these miraculous powers are at work in him."

And [although he] was deeply grieved, the king, because of his oaths and {dinner guests}, did not want to refuse her.

And he said to them, "You yourselves come privately to an isolated place and rest for a short time." For those [who were] coming and going were many, and they did not even have time to eat.

because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

And they had forgotten to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with them in the boat.

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

"When also [broke] the seven [loaves] for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

(For he did not know what he should answer, because they were terrified.)

And [as] they were coming down from the mountain, he ordered them that they should tell no one [the things] that they had seen, except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

And they kept the matter to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead {meant}.

But I tell you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him."

And it came out, screaming and convulsing [him] greatly, and he became as if [he were] dead, so that most [of them] said, "He has died!"

And from there they went out [and] passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,

But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.

And he answered [and] said to them, "What did Moses command you?"

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

And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple [courts].

And they began to discuss [this] with one another, saying, "What should we say? If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

There were seven brothers, and the first took a wife. And [when he] died, he did not leave descendants.

And the seven did not leave descendants. Last of all the woman also died.

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

Now concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses {in the passage about the bush} how God spoke to him, saying, 'I [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?

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

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.

And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that today--this night--before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times!"

And again he came [and] found them sleeping, {for they could not keep their eyes open}, and they did not know what to reply to him.

Every day I was with you in the temple [courts] teaching, and you did not arrest me! But [this has happened] in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find [it].

But he was silent and did not reply anything. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.

And the crowd came up [and] began to ask him to do as he customarily did for them.

And they repeatedly struck him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and {they knelt down} [and] did obeisance to him.

And they attempted to give him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.

And Pilate was surprised that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, asked him whether he had died already.

And these went [and] reported [it] to the others, and they did not believe them.

And later, [while] they were reclining at table, he appeared to the eleven. And he reprimanded their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him [after he] had been raised.
