When his disciples heard of it they came and took his body away and put it in a tomb.

So when he got out of the boat, he found a great crowd gathered, and his heart was touched at the sight of them, because they were like sheep that have no shepherd; and he proceeded to teach them a great deal.

Then he took the five loaves and the two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed the loaves and broke them in pieces and gave them to the disciples to pass to the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

He took him off by himself away from the crowd, and put his fingers in the man's ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.

Then he ordered the people to take their places on the ground. And he took the seven loaves and gave thanks and broke them in pieces and gave them to his disciples to pass, and they passed them to the people.

And they came to Bethsaida. And people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

He took him by the hand and led him outside of the village, and spitting in his eyes he laid his hands on him and asked him, "Do you see anything?"

He told them this plainly. And Peter took him aside, and began to reprove him for it.

And he called the people and his disciples to him and said to them, "If anyone wants to go with me, he must disregard himself, and take his cross and follow me.

And he took the children in his arms and laid his hands on them and blessed them.

As they went on their way up to Jerusalem, Jesus walked ahead of them, and they were in dismay, and those who still followed were afraid. And he took the Twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out, "Jesus, you son of David, take pity on me!"

Many of the people rebuked him and told him to be still. But he cried out all the louder, "You son of David, take pity on me!"

But they answered them as Jesus had told them to do, and the men let them take it.

And they took him and beat him and sent him back empty-handed.

So they took him and killed him, and threw his body outside of the vineyard.

And they came up and said to him, "Master, we know that you tell the truth regardless of the consequences, for you are not guided by personal considerations, but teach the way of God with sincerity. Is it right to pay the poll tax to the emperor or not?

And Jesus said to them, "Take care that no one misleads you about this.

But as soon as you see the dreadful desecration standing where he has no right to stand" (the reader must take note of this), "then those who are in Judea must fly to the hills;

and he said, "Abba!" that is, Father, "anything is possible for you! Take this cup away from me! Yet not what I please but what you do!"

Now the man who betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Seize him and take him safely away."

They took Jesus away to the high priest, and all the high priests, elders, and scribes came together.

And some started to spit at him and to blindfold him and strike him, and say to him, "Now show that you are a prophet!" And the attendants slapped him as they took charge of him.

As soon as it was daylight, the high priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes, and they and the whole council bound Jesus and took him away and handed him over to Pilate.

Then the soldiers took him inside the courtyard, that is, of the governor's residence, and they called the whole battalion together.

When they had finished making sport of him, they took off the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they took him out of the city to crucify him.

And they took him to the place called Golgotha, which means the Place of the Skull.

They offered him drugged wine, but he would not take it.

One man ran off and soaked a sponge in common wine, and put it on the end of a stick and held it up to him to drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah does come to take him down!"

and when he learned from the captain that he was, he gave Joseph permission to take the body.

And he bought a linen sheet and took him down from the cross and wrapped him in the sheet, and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the doorway of the tomb.

they will take snakes in their hands, and if they drink poison it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well."
