And looking about at those who were sitting in a circle around Him, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

Now a large herd of pigs was there, feeding on the hillside.

And He gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.”

Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured of her affliction.

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came with fear and trembling, fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.

“Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction.”

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t His sisters here with us?” So they were offended by Him.

So he swore oaths to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Then she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”

“John the Baptist’s head!” she said.

Though the king was deeply distressed, because of his oaths and the guests he did not want to refuse her.

brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother.

Now the woman was Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

He said to her, “Allow the children to be satisfied first, because it isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Then He told her, “Because of this reply, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

When she went back to her home, she found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

His disciples answered Him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to fill these people?”

Then He said to them, “I assure you: There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God come in power.”

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good for us to be here! Let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—

They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers and send her away.”

And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”

“Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah! Look—there!’ do not believe it!

For this oil might have been sold for more than 300 denarii and given to the poor.” And they began to scold her.

Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for Me.

I assure you: Wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”

Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrow —to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”

“Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.
