Then the foul spirit convulsed him and with a deafening shriek got out of him.

Early in the morning, long before daybreak, He got up and went out to a lonely spot, and stayed praying there.

Then he got up and at once picked up his pallet, and went out before them all. The result was that they were all dumbfounded and began to praise God and say, "We have never seen anything like this before."

And as He was passing by, He saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting in the tax-collector's office, and He said to him, "Follow me." Then he got up and followed Him.

Then He began again to teach by the seashore. And a crowd gathered around Him so great that He got into a boat and was sitting in it, just off the shore, while all the people were on the land close to the sea.

As soon as He got out of the boat, a man under the power of a foul spirit and from the tombs met Him.

So He let them do so. And the foul spirits came out of the man and got into the hogs, and the drove of about two thousand rushed over the cliff and into the sea and were drowned.

And the little girl at once got up and started walking around, for she was twelve years old. And instantly they were completely dumbfounded.

So they got off in their boat to be by themselves in a quiet place.

But many people saw them start and knew of it and ran around the lake from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

So when He got out of the boat, He saw a great crowd waiting, and His heart was moved with pity at the sight of them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and so He proceeded to teach them a number of things.

Then He went up to them and got into the boat, and the wind lulled. They were completely dumbfounded,

As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Him

and will never eat until they have carefully washed their hands, and they never eat anything brought from the market until they wash it; and they have many other religious practices which they got from their forefathers, as the washing of cups, pitchers, and pans.

And He at once got into the boat and crossed to the district of Dalmanutha.

And He left them and again got into the boat and crossed to the other side.

Then it gave a shriek and violently convulsed the boy, and got out of him. And the boy looked like a corpse, so much so that the people said that he was dead.

But Jesus grasped his hand and raised him, and he got up.

When Jesus got home and was by Himself, His disciples were asking Him, "Why could not we drive it out?"

Then they reached Capernaum. When He got home, He asked them, "What were you discussing on the way home?"

Now in the distance He saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and He went up to it to see if He might find some figs on it, but when He got to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs.

So off the disciples went; they reached the city, found everything just as He had told them, and they got the Passover supper ready.
