Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they *spoke to Jesus about her.

And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

And He was saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”

These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

With many such parables He was speaking the word to them, so far as they were able to hear it;

and *implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.”

Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

Taking the child by the hand, He *said to her, “Talitha kum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom.”

And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

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

and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.

[If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”]

Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

And He said to her, “Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”

And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

They were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”

Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember,

And Jesus was saying to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

Peter *said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

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

and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”

And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”

and *said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”

But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’

The second one married her, and died leaving behind no children; and the third likewise;

In the resurrection, when they rise again, which one’s wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”

Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;

for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.

When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him;

But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

They *came to a place named Gethsemane; and He *said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.”

And He *said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”

And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

And He *came and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

And He *came the third time, and *said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.

At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

And he *said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.
